My Handsome Uncle, Please Be Mine!

Part 36.

Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond returned home earlier. They were supposed to stay for three days and three nights. However, because they missed their grandchild too much, Joe Sebastian’s mother decided to return home early.

The couple, now sitting in the living room, accompanied by Kimmy and also Vivian. Joe’s former selfish wife.

Vivian, a woman who prioritized her career over her husband and daughter. Now, she has realized the mistakes she made in the past. To whom else could she turn for help if not Nyonya Linn?

From now on, she will try to regain the affection of the middle-aged woman. Then, she will regain what she has wasted all this time.

“Mom, I apologize for my mistakes, Mom!” Vivian said. She, who was sitting before, was now kneeling in front of her mother-in-law. One thing for sure, she didn’t want to let go of Joe for Clara. Never!

“There’s nothing for me to forgive, Vivian. That’s between you and Joe. When Joe decided to marry you, I could only wish the best for both of you, and now that you’re divorced, I believe it’s the best decision you’ve made!” Mrs. Linn said firmly. She understood well how much Joe loved Vivian. Honestly, she also felt hurt by Vivian’s unfair treatment of her son.

All this time Mrs. Linn had been kind to Vivian, just to maintain a good relationship. Nothing more and nothing less, all because Vivian is Kimmy’s mother. Her beloved granddaughter.

“I just realized everything, Mom! I was wrong, please allow me to make things right. I’ve just realized that the divorce between me and Joe is bad for our daughter, so I ask for your blessing to reconcile with Joe!” Vivian pleaded. Still kneeling with her head bowed.

“I actually don’t want to interfere! But because it involves my grandson, I will try to talk to Joe!” Mrs. Linn said. “What do you think, dear?” She asked her husband.

“Papa leaves it all to Joe, Mom, however he chooses to live his life, he’s not a child anymore, and he’s capable of taking responsibility for his decisions!” Mr. Bond said. His trust and admiration for Vivian were shattered. He used to support Joe and Vivian’s relationship. But for now, he’s very disappointed with his daughter-in-law.

“Stand up, and when Joe arrives home, I’ll talk to him! But I don’t promise anything because Joe, he’s already disappointed in you, Vivian!” Mrs. Linn said.

Her fingers moved to her face, wiping away the tears that were falling and wetting her cheeks.

Mrs. Linn called Kimmy. The little girl moved closer to the source of the sound.

“Kimmy, do you like it if your mommy stays in this house?” Mrs. Linn inquired. She just wanted to know if what Vivian said was true or not.

“Emm, yes, Oma! I like it, I want to sleep with daddy and mommy again, not just with daddy!” she replied. Slowly she crawled into her grandmother’s lap.

“Mama said she’s going home tomorrow! If mommy stays in this house, is it okay?” the little girl asked again.

“Okay,” replied Grandma, who could do nothing but grant her granddaughter’s wish.

“Hooray!” Kimmy shouted. Her face showed pure happiness.

Mrs. Linn turned her gaze back to Vivian. The woman sat with her head bowed.

“Vivian!”

“Yes, Mom!”

“What if Joe doesn’t agree to reconcile with you?” Mrs. Linn prompted. She didn’t want Joe to fall into the same trap again.

“I will try and wait, Mom. I will do everything like Joe did to win me back, Mom!” Vivian replied.

“Does that mean you will quit the entertainment world? Stop being a model! If you’re willing to do that, then I will persuade Joe to reconcile with you!” Mrs. Linn insisted.

“I agree!” Mr. Bond finally spoke up.

“Alright, Mom! I will talk to my agent!” There was a look of determination on her former daughter-in-law’s face.

“My Clara!” Joe called out.

“Yes, Uncle!” Clara replied softly.

“Sorry for making you wait, you must be very bored, right?” Joe guessed, approaching Clara.

“A little, Uncle!” Clara, who was watching a Korean drama while resting her chin on her hand, replied.

“Let’s go home! Or should I ask Mr. Joko to pick us up or should Antoni drive us?” Joe offered.

“Tell Mr. Joko to pick us up!” Clara suggested.

“Okay, I’ll ask Antoni to pick us up right away!” Joe grabbed his phone. Then he wrote a message to his secretary.

“Yes, Uncle!” Clara replied, closing her laptop screen. Then she walked over to Joe.

Step by step, she finally stood before the man. Joe. Even after work, his hair was still neat and the scent of his cologne lingered, filling the room.

“Are you tired, Uncle?” Clara inquired. She stood right in front of him.

“I usually am tired! But because you’re here today, my fatigue vanished, disappeared just like that, Clara!” Joe wrapped his arm around Clara’s waist. He couldn’t wait to marry this girl.

“You’re quite something, Uncle!” Clara replied.

“I don’t know, I seem to be going crazy because of you, Clara!” Joe tightened his embrace.

“Let go, Uncle!” Clara protested.

“I don’t want to!” Joe chuckled.

“Uncle, I’m embarrassed, what if someone sees us?” Clara refused. The refusal was only on her lips because her body didn’t move. She felt comfortable under Joe’s dominating embrace. Comfortable! Not only that, the scent of his body tickled Clara’s sense of smell, making her want more. More and longer in such a position with Uncle.

“My Clara,” Joe whispered.

“Yes, my Uncle Joe!” Clara replied.

Silent but quick, Joe carved a mark of possession on the side of Clara’s slender neck. The girl couldn’t resist; instead, she was curious because she also desired it.

“Does it hurt?” Joe asked.

“A little, Uncle! What are you doing?” Clara asked.

“It’s a stamp of ownership, Clara! You belong to me, understand!” he explained. “Tomorrow when Mom and Dad return, I will talk to them!” Joe intended to confess his relationship with Clara.

“But, Uncle…!”

“What?”

“I’m afraid Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond won’t approve of me being close to Uncle Joe!” Clara expressed her worries.

“Don’t worry about that! If they don’t agree, I have a way to make my parents approve!” Joe suggested with a gleam in his eyes. He couldn’t wait to make Clara his wife.

“What’s the way?” Clara rolled her eyes.

“I have to make you pregnant, and they will surely approve, not only that, they will also insist that I marry you, my Clara?!” Joe replied.

“Don’t joke, Uncle!”

“I’m serious, Clara! Do I need to do it tonight?” Joe teased. He was just teasing Clara. He started to enjoy this simple activity. When Clara felt annoyed or blushed because of his jokes.

“Uncle Joe!” Clara said firmly, trying to bring him back to reality.

“Yes, what’s wrong, my love?” he replied, looking at Clara with loving eyes.

Joe’s phone rang, startling both of them.

He slid the green icon on his phone.

“Hello!”

“Sir, I’ve arrived!” the voice on the other end said.

“Okay, Clara and I will come down now!” Joe replied, then ended the call.

Joe noticed Clara busy looking at her reflection on the phone screen. Her expression was worried and unsettled. Her long hair, which had been neatly tied back all morning, was now loose and messy.

“What are you doing, Clara? Let’s go downstairs, Joko is waiting for us downstairs!” Joe said.

“Trouble, look at this, Uncle!” She showed the red mark on her neck.

“Why?”

“This, Uncle!” Clara pointed with her left hand.

“What about it?”

“I’m embarrassed,” Clara blurted out. Understandable, this was her first time.

“You’re embarrassed?”

“I… I yes… Uncle!” she replied softly.

“How can you say you’re embarrassed when earlier you just stayed quiet and didn’t object! Stop it, Clara! You make me fond of you!” Joe said, reaching for Clara’s hand, intertwining it with his, leading her out of the office towards the elevator.

Clara obeyed. She let her hair down, not wanting the kiss mark to be seen by others.

The elevator door opened.

Joe walked towards the parking area. He always held Clara’s fingers in his.

He didn’t forget to open the door for Clara. Then, he walked around the car, and sat beside Clara.

“Let’s go, Joko!” Joe commanded.

“To the house?” Joko asked, sensing the closeness between Joe and Clara.

“Yes.”

The car moved at a moderate speed. Clara and Joe, who sat in the back seat, chose to remain silent. They didn’t want Joko to know about their relationship.

Joe didn’t want his mom to find out about his relationship with Clara from someone else. If Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond knew, he would be the one to tell them.

“Sir!” Joko called out.

“What’s up?” Joe asked.

“Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond have arrived home, around two o’clock!” Joko said.

“Okay!”

Joe looked down, hiding his smile. He felt like the universe approved of his relationship with Clara. Tonight, Joe had made up his mind to confess everything to his mother.

The car stopped in the driveway. Joe and Clara got out simultaneously. They walked side by side towards the front door.

Click.

The door opened.

Joe entered first and found his parents sitting in the living room.

“How are you, Mom, Dad?” Joe asked.

“Good!”

“Good!”

“Joe, follow me upstairs, Mom needs to talk to you!” Mrs. Linn ordered, ignoring Clara who was walking towards them.
