My Handsome Uncle, Please Be Mine!

Part 49.

Afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Joe glanced briefly at Clara, who seemed engrossed in reading a translated novel by William Shakespeare.

“Clara,” Uncle Joe called.

“Yes,” Clara carefully folded her book and closed it. Then, she walked over to Uncle Joe, who was sitting in his armchair.

Clara stood beside Joe, looking at the laptop screen he showed her.

“Which one do you prefer, this one or this one?” Joe asked, pointing to two options of a pink and a purple teddy bear.

“Clara likes the pink one, Uncle!” Clara replied. She was sure that he wanted to buy a gift for his daughter.

“Alright, I’ll buy you the pink one, and I’ll buy Kimmy the purple one,” Joe said, looking up at Clara standing beside him.

“For me?” Clara asked flatly.

“Yes, I’ll buy it for you as a farewell gift before you return to your family, Clara!” he explained.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Clara replied with a restrained smile. She walked back to the sofa feeling irritated. The owner of Blue Jewelry, a company known for its quality and stunning designs of diamonds and jewelry, only gave her a pink teddy bear as a parting gift. Clara shook her head softly, unsure whether it was stinginess or lack of romance, this was an unexpected side of Joe that she had just discovered.

“Uncle, where’s Uncle’s secretary?” Clara asked. She hadn’t seen Antoni come to Joe’s office since this morning.

“Antoni is handling some meetings,” Joe replied.

“Why didn’t Uncle come himself?” Clara protested. She noticed Joe had been idling around since morning, looking at his phone, playing Mobile Legends, and sometimes opening random online shopping apps.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I’m the boss, what’s the point of having employees if I have to come myself? Besides, Antoni can handle it!” Joe said.

“But that’s not fair!” she protested again.

“What’s unfair about it? I just want to spend time alone with you!” Joe replied.

‘But why in the office, Uncle, we could go on a vacation or something!’ Clara thought, annoyed.

“I can’t be alone with you at home because Mama, Papa, and Kimmy are there,” Joe said irritably. “Taking you on a vacation alone is also impossible because Mama and Kimmy will come along!” Joe looked at Clara as if he could read her mind.

Clara nodded, pretending to understand.

‘But we could go shopping, Uncle!’ Clara thought.

“Shopping at the mall, I can do, but during the day, I’m afraid of being caught on camera, and my face will be all over the online media tomorrow morning,” he said. “Actually, I want to take you somewhere, Clara!” he added, exhaling heavily.

“Where to, Uncle?” Clara asked curiously. To an expensive steak restaurant? To a trendy coffee shop? Or to the ice cream parlor they went to that one time? Clara’s mind started to fill with the menus of her favorite dishes.

“To a hotel, but unfortunately, you’re not my wife, Clara, so the safest place is in my office,” he said proudly. “Mom and Dad think I’m working, and no one will randomly come in here!” he added with a teasing look.

“That’s true, Uncle, there’s also no bed here, so it’s safe!” Clara nodded satisfactorily.

Joe stood up from his seat. Clara’s words made him hold back a laugh. He walked over to Clara, who was sitting on the sofa.

The man looked at Clara sharply. “What do you mean by that, Clara?” Joe whispered to her.

“No, Uncle, nothing!” Clara replied.

“Just so you know, I can do it anywhere, on the sofa…” Joe tapped the sofa next to him.

“Hehe,” Clara grinned.

“I can do it anytime, Clara!” Joe moved his seat closer to the girl.

“Yes, Uncle,” Clara moved to keep her distance from Joe. She kept moving until she reached the end of the sofa.

“I can’t hold back anymore every time I see your lips, Clara! That’s why I’ve been playing games since earlier, to distract myself from dirty thoughts. You’re beautiful, Clara!” Joe leaned in, their faces were so close without any barriers. “You’re tempting me, your scent tickles my nostrils, you keep crossing my mind, and worst of all, you even appear when I close my eyes… I’m going crazy because of you, Clara.” Joe landed a deep, wet kiss on Clara’s lips.

Clara was frozen and just accepted it. Her body tensed with fear that Joe might do something excessive.

Now Joe’s body position was on top of hers. Don’t ask anymore, Clara’s heart was really pounding erratically. She even held her breath for fear that her organs might explode being so close to Uncle.

“Uncle, what does Uncle want to do?” Clara asked between her rushed breaths.

Joe didn’t answer. He just looked at her intensely, his lips curling up like a wolf about to pounce on its prey.

“Why? We’re both adults, Clara, we both like each other, what else if not…” Joe landed another kiss.

Once again, Clara was swept away in his kiss.

“That’s enough, Uncle,” Clara requested, closing her eyes. She was afraid to see Joe’s face, which was flushed with desire.

“Are you scared?” Joe asked.

Clara nodded without daring to open her eyes. Meanwhile, Joe enjoyed this sight, when the sweet girl closed her eyes tightly, revealing her dimples.

“Open your eyes, Clara…!” Joe requested. “I could never do it before we’re married! I love you, and I respect you,” he added, quickly standing up. Joe regulated his heavy breathing, turning his back to Clara, hiding the suppressed desire that made his pants feel tight.

“I’ll call Antoni in a moment! You tidy up your hair, and soon we’ll have lunch together!” he said.

Clara slowly opened her eyes. She was still catching her breath from Joe’s recent actions. She began to tidy up her hair while Joe walked to the other end of the room, away from Clara, and made a phone call to Antoni.

The call connected.

“Hello,” Antoni greeted from the other end of the line.

“Where are you?” Joe asked.

“I just left your residence, Sir!” he replied.

“Did you give it to Mom?” Joe inquired.

“Yes, I told Mrs. Linn that the box contained books and you instructed to put it in the library!” he explained in detail.

“Alright, let’s meet at the restaurant, A, we’ll have lunch together!” Joe invited.

“Understood, Sir!”

“Okay.”

Joe ended the phone call.

“I’m ready, Uncle,” Clara said.

“Let’s go, we’ll go downstairs now!” Joe invited, smiling at Clara. For some reason, she looked very beautiful with her hair tied up, revealing her graceful neck.

“Okay, Uncle,” Clara replied, accepting Joe’s hand. They left the man’s office room together.

Vivian intended to meet Alex at his house. He had been friends with Vivian for a long time, even before she married Joe.

Alex already had a wife, but they hadn’t been blessed with children yet. That made Alex free to be friends with anyone, including Vivian.

Vivian stopped her car in front of Alex’s main door. A servant opened the gate for her, and the car drove in.

Vivian got out of the car and walked over to the female servant who had opened the door for her.

“Is Mr. Alex home?” Vivian asked.

“Yes, Ma’am, he’s the one who asked me to open the door just now!” she replied.

“Take me to him!” Vivian requested.

“Yes, Ma’am,” the female servant nodded, looking at Vivian without blinking. She was beautiful and often appeared on television.

Vivian let the woman walk ahead of her and followed from behind. They started to enter the house.

Alex was sitting in the living room, looking at Vivian with seriousness.

“What’s going on?” Alex asked, intentionally avoiding Vivian’s phone calls. He didn’t expect his friend to force her way into his house.

“Help me?!” Vivian pleaded.

“I don’t want to, I don’t want you to commit a crime, your ex-husband has a lot of money, I’m afraid it will harm you, Vivian! Stop it, or you might end up in jail because of your own actions, Vivian, not only that, your career could also dim!” Alex advised, trying to counsel Vivian for the second time.

“I have no other way, I want Clara to leave and stay away from Joe, you don’t need to make her lose her life, just make her cautious because she dared to seduce my ex-husband!” Vivian explained.

“You’re weird, Joe used to beg, plead for your love, but look at you now, you’re like a worm on hot bricks because you see Joe getting close to another girl!” Alex retorted with satisfaction.

“I didn’t ask for your opinion, do what I ask and I’ll transfer whatever you ask for,” Vivian urged.

“Why are you always foolish, be my wife and bear children for me, you don’t need to bother planning criminal actions, forget your ambitions and marry me!” Alex sincerely requested. He looked at Vivian with love. Since their first meeting, just like Joe, Alex was also fascinated by Vivian. He knelt before her.

“No, do what I ask and I’ll pay you right now!” Vivian insisted. She returned Alex’s gaze and showed no intention of changing her plans.

“I don’t need your money, Vivian,” Alex said firmly. He looked down, his gaze showing disappointment with Vivian’s attitude, unable to be advised.

“You’re ready to go to jail!” Alex said in despair.

“Did you forget, my daughter is also Joe Sebastian’s daughter! My ex-husband would never let Kimmy have a mother who’s a criminal, so you don’t need to worry about me!” she replied. “Just do as I say!” Vivian looked enthusiastic.

“You’re too confident! I hope my suspicion is wrong, well, I’ll do it!” Alex replied.

“Great!” Vivian grinned, confident that everything would go smoothly according to her plan. Joe and Kimmy had to return to her embrace again.
