Chapter 33: The Clarks Were Too Overbearing!
Rae was suddenly a little regretful, as since she had made more friends at school, she had never went
to the Knight family to find Jensen. From her memories, besides Jensen, everyone else in the Knight
family were extraordinarily terrible. Further, after experiencing the wide gap between the rich and the
poor in school, she never wanted to see her mother being meek and subservient before the people of
the Knight family so she had never gone again. Moreover, Jensen had studied in an international
school and they were totally lived in two worlds, so they had no chance to meet anymore. She was
thinking, if she had insisted on going to the Knight family, would she have many unforgettable sweet
memories with Jensen for her to recall back now?
Rae thought simply.
Suddenly Flora patted herself on the head as if she remembered something important, and she blurt
out “I almost forgot, oh sir, the matriarch reminds you that you have to go to Miss Karina’s birthday
party next month.” After saying, Flora mumbled a date.
“…!!!” Rae looked at Jensen on instinct, it was actually the same day as her birthday!! Such a
coincidence?? This time Matriarch Knight had even specifically asked Flora to inform Jensen to go, so
she must had privately reminded beforehand. When on earth did Jensen found out about this, and why
didn’t he tell her?!
Then what was his plan?
Was it to go to Karina’s birthday party, yes??
Rae was originally not so mindful of such a thing as birthdays, and at first, she had not thought of
holding any parties. But seeing Jensen organizing it for her every year as usual, she had eventually
gotten used to it. It was just as if someone prepared breakfast for you everyday and one day they
stopped it. She knew that she should be grateful for the things before, but inside she would still mind
about it, about why this time it was not prepared.
He was surely preparing for others, right?
Rae pursed her lips, the unhappiness from the afternoon bubbled up again, even being more than
before.
Jensen did not expect that Flora would switch topics so suddenly, even if he wanted to interrupt, he
could not. But on second thought, it was not far from her birthday now, she still had to know about
something like this did exist. Jensen took a look at Rae, and merely replied lightly, “Alright.”
He did not give off any hint.
“… I heard that the Clark family wanted to rent the topmost floor of the James Group Building to hold
Miss Karina’s birthday party, but Mr James’ side kept insisting not to lend, and now both sides are in
conflict. I even heard from the maid of the James family, that the dining and hotels at the James Group
Building was frequently disturbed by gangsters at night recently, and Mr James had not been able to
sleep well for a few days. Who knows if they were sent by the members of the Clark family? Well, if he
didn’t want to lend then so be it, this sort of coercing method was really too despicable.” Flora went on.
As a servant, they usually liked to talk about something at home when they had nothing to do normally.
As they exchanged more information, they would know more than others.
Rae finally understood, not only that her birthday was the same day as hers, and even the place which
they held their birthday parties were the same, was there such a coincidence? But looking at Karina’s
behaviour before she obviously did not know who she was, so it looked as if someone in the Clark
family knew about her existence? Wanted to put her in her place through this way? She knew that for
the topmost floor to close a few days for her would endure quite heavy losses every day, and Reuben
did not accept money from Jensen, saying that this was her birthday present. She thought that Reuben
was so good to her, but now, she brought troubles to him.
Instantly, the guilt and embarrassment in Rae’s heart immediately covered the unpleasantness from
just now.
Jensen must surely be in dilemma recently.
She really did not want to put anyone around her into a difficult situation.
At least not for her.
Flora sat for a while and then left, Rae sent her downstairs, then she went back home. Seeing that
Jensen was still sitting on the couch reading the papers, she noticed that he hadn’t turned the pages
for a long time, and she knew that he was surely distracted thinking of something. She then walked
over, sat on his lap and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck. “Jensen, I suddenly have a
thought. Actually it’s pretty boring to hold it in the same place every year, what if this year we…”
“Rae, you don’t need to worry.” Jensen was waiting, if she lost her temper, came back and questioned
his decision or be angry at the Clark family, that’s fine. But he did not expect that she conceded
considerately which made him instantly uncomfortable. He closed the papers and put them aside, his
arm wrapped around her waist and he rubbed lightly against her clothes as he asked slowly, “You said
you wanted to hold a costume party, aren’t you? Have you thought of the theme yet?”
“Jensen, I hate seeing you like this.” Rae got serious, as she continued, looking at him. “Since we are
together, I hope that we could share our troubles together, just like we achieved orgasm together.”
“…” Jensen heard these words, and although he felt that it was weird, but it made quite some sense.
He thought about it, and explained to her, “This is not a trouble. The Clark family arrogantly think that I
needed an alliance, but actually I don’t need it.”
“But…” When Rae hide in Jensen’s office before, she heard Zain saying something about if Jensen did
not cooperate with him, he would get into trouble. Further, his business involved munition selling, and
even if she was not clear about the details, she knew that these dangerous things would easily take
lives.
“Even if I made a cooperation with them, I don’t trust them. so that’s the case I rather fight alone
instead. Although it’ll be a bit hard at the start, I would still feel comforted.” Jensen answered and
switched the topic, “I’m hungry, Rae.”
“Alright, I’ll go cook.” Rae did not quite understand his situation now and felt difficult to pursue further,
but at the same time she also felt that Jensen merely said this because he was afraid that she would
be unhappy. She emphasized her reminder, “Anyways, if you’re in dilemma you can just tell me. I’m
flexible and I wouldn’t die even if there’s no birthday party, why be in such a dilemma? Look at Reuben,
he hasn’t slept in a few nights, is it really necessary? If the Clark guy wants to borrow it, let him borrow
then, and charge more rental fees from him!”
“Are you caring for me?” Tough Rae looked angry in her face, but the meaning beneath her words all
implied that she didn’t want to put him in a dilemma, and he felt quite touched inside. Perhaps for once
more he found the soft caring heart beneath her solidness, through just a single peek into her inner
side, he found it was too heavy for him to stand.
“Sure, since you’re my man now I wouldn’t want to see you in dilemma, right? Further, if you can’t sleep
because you’re worried, it wouldn’t be good for your body. It’s a small matter like a flu or fever, but if it
affects your…” “Alright, go cook.” Jensen guessed that what she was about to say was something that
would be shocking, and he lowered his head and held her lip in his, biting lightly without any pain or itch
and then he let her go.
Rae jumped off him, took the large bags on the table into the kitchen, and started to make dinner.
After they had dinner.
Rae sang while she washed the dishes in the kitchen, not knowing whether she was indeed happy or All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
she was pretending she was very happy. Jensen was about to go to the study and handle some work
affairs when the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated. He went over and took it up to have a
look, and saw that it was Lola that called. He glanced towards the kitchen on instinct, then he walked to
the balcony holding his phone. He went out to the balcony, closed the door, and then he pressed the
accept button. Jensen did not speak first, the fingers on his right hand knocked habitually on the railing,
while he waited.
“I just came back from Stanley’s place, he said that he received an invitation from the Clark family,
asking my entire family to attend Karina’s birthday party. Jensen, I know that you don’t like it, but I can’t
refuse it.” Lola was afraid that Jensen would be angry at her, so she hurriedly continued. “I heard that
the Clark family only invited the people from the influential family this time, but now they even invited
my family, so I have to go. But I’ll find an opportunity to send Rae the necklace, I have no choice as
well, don’t blame me.”
“Anything else?” Jensen finished hearing this and the tempo on his fingers were calm as usual, as if he
was not affected at all.
“Nothing, but looking at the Clark family’s situation now, I’m afraid that their eyes are on R…”
Jensen hung up the call.
He did not want to listen to useless talk.
But he did not expect that Zain would be so overbearing. Never mind being on the same day and
contending for the same place, now he even took the guests who was supposed to appeared in Rae’s
birthday party, he believed that the Barnes family were surely not the only ones who received a similar
invitation!
Great.
A bit of fury flashed in Jensen’s eyes.
The glass door behind him was pushed open loudly, as Rae walked in humming. As she walked to the
washing machine and opened the cover, she immediately exclaimed, “Damn it, I actually forgot to press
the button again!” Saying this, she closed the cover with a bang, and pushed the start button.
The sound of water gushing came out from the washing machine as it started working.
As she finished, an arm wrapped itself against her waist. She turned, and her back was turned against
the railing, as the man began his lecture, “Rae, can you change your speaking habits?”
“I think I’m holding back quite well, I just speak simply at home. But relax, when we have kids I’ll surely
pay attention. I must lead by example. I promise you won’t hear a single swear word.” Saying this, Rae
raised three fingers seriously, as she swore to the heavens.
Children.
Jensen saw that he accidentally went to this subject again, and felt frustrated.
At the same time, he was afraid that with more and more time that they spent together, she would
surely be more anxious about this. Never mind if she could get pregnant, at the same time the head of
the hospital had said that there was a huge possibility for her to have a miscarriage if she got pregnant.
This rather made him hope that she would not be pregnant at all, he really did not want to harm her
body in exchange for that tiny chance.
Yet, in what way could he dismiss her plans? If she really got anxious, what should he do?
“Oh right, last night when we did it I forgot to prop my waist up with a pillow… It’s really a pity, I’ve
wasted your storage… I wonder if you still have some to deliver tonight…” Rae hinted while she
reached over, drawing circles on his chest, as her eyes expressed seductiveness.
“If you want, then I have!” Jensen heard her crazy words and was extremely speechless! But he did not
plan to satisfy her tonight, he did not want to be a baby generator. He lowered his head, planning to
kiss her once and go to the study to do his work, but he did not expect that she would hug his head and
exclaim passionately. “You want to do this at the balcony?! haven’t prepared mentally yet!”
“…” Jensen was speechless.
