Clara was in the living room, sitting leisurely watching tv with Frederica sitting on her lap. There was also Diana who looked sleepy, making her feel that her in-laws were uncomfortable.
"Mom... If mommy sleepy, should just sleep..the maid has prepared a room for mommy," said Clare trying to be courteous even though this was the first time in her life acting like a wife and daughter-in-law. Who would have thought she would be trapped in that body? made her have to do things she had never done before...
"Mommy will just go home, Dear. Daddy will be lonely if mommy stays here," said Diana. "But mommy wanted to talk to Nathan first but why didn't he leave the room right away? Is he still angry?"
"No, Mom. Maybe he's resting," Clara said.
Nathan came out of the room in a fresher condition wearing cream-colored casual pants, combined with a dark blue t-shirt that looked tight and combed his hair neatly. The man walked leisurely, his gaze fixed on the couch where Clara, Diana, and Frederica were sitting leisurely watching TV.
'The child is the cause of the discomfort in my life,' he thought.
"Nathan," Diana called.
Nathan continued walking until he reached the ground floor. he went straight to Clara, then sat beside her and kissed her cheek, then hugged her from the side.
Clara was silent for a while because she felt awkward and didn't expect Nathan to suddenly come to kiss her in front of his mother, even though at this moment she was still a little angry. Even her husband now had it from the side and their faces were so close together, almost like they were going to kiss her again. Ah, maybe it's a habit with the real Clara.
"Nathan... Is the poison case unresolved?" Diana asked.
"Not yet, Mom. The case seemed hopeless to be solved because the fake maid had died in an accident, and the accident was mysterious," Nathan replied angrily. He kissed Clara's cheek again, then switched to kissing her temple and leaning his back on the couch. . . "But I will continue to ask the police team or the secret service to investigate this case because if it's not solved I won't be able to sleep well. I can't keep my wife in constant danger."
"But I'm okay . . . I'm safe," Clara said.
"You're not safe, honey. And I hope you won't leave without an escort like earlier, it worries me to death. I even came to see Mr. Robert because I thought you were visiting Casey there," Nathan said seriously.
"You met uncle Robert?" Clara immediately turned to look at Nathan in surprise. "Eh ... I mean, Mr. Robert is Casey's uncle?"
"Yes ... because it turns out that Casey was transferred there," Nathan explained.
Clara was silent for a moment, thinking back to Michael and Mia who had been in the same car. she wanted to ask Nathan if Michael was there but she didn't dare because she was afraid it would make Nathan feel bad because now she was Clara.
"Mommy didn't think that Casey was also injured that night when she was going to attend your wedding ... And almost died. That night was like a nightmare for you all," Diana said with a tinge of sadness on her face. she couldn't forget the incident when the event was suddenly poisoned, the wedding party went awry.
"I don't want to remember that night again, Mom..because of that accident I always want to taste the food that Clara will eat first to make sure it's poisonous or not," Nathan said with a glance at Clara who was silent still holding Frederica in her lap. "I can't stop regretting what happened."
"Well, don't always regret that..the important thing is that I'm fine now," Clara exclaimed seriously.
"You don't understand," Nathan said.
"I understand, and I can take care of myself so I don't eat or drink carelessly," Clara said confidently because she felt sorry for Nathan who looked traumatized again. "I also know you didn't mean to... You must have done it unintentionally," she continued.
"But you have to be careful, Clara...Mommy is also very traumatized, so hesitate to eat out or at certain events," Diana said angrily.
"Mom, to be honest. I suspect someone," Nathan said.
"Who?" asked Nathan.
"Of course Patricia and Aunt Liora, because they are the only ones who always want Clara and me to be unhappy. Even before the party, Patricia still demands justice, always taking Frederica as her shield," Nathan said seriously, occasionally glancing at Frederica who was on Clara's lap. . ."Who else if not them, they are suspect!"
"But there is no evidence that points to them, they can also make our family name bad if we carelessly accuse them," Diana said angrily.
"I can't understand why I got caught up in their cunning!"
Clara was silent, discovering the new problem Nathan was facing. Yes, she felt neither Nathan nor his family had a bad thing that made him unable to act decisively on Patricia and Liora.
'What are they afraid of? .does this also has to do with Frederica who was never announced as Nathan's daughter?' Clara wondered, growing dizzy and curious. Ugh, more and more problems seemed like she had to solve.

Michael feels hungry and is forced to leave Casey with the nurse. he walked towards the kitchen, across the living room which looked quiet until he accidentally met Mia who looked like she had just finished taking a shower because she was only wearing a white bathrobe and her hair still looked a bit wet.
"Michael," said Mia.
"Hi, you just showered," Michael said casually.
"Yeah ... I took a warm bath earlier." Mia slightly fixes her messy hair, she hasn't even put on make-up yet but her beauty looks natural. "Where are you going?"
"I am hungry. I want to find food in the kitchen, but if there was one I would have ordered via food delivery," Michael replied, glancing towards the kitchen.
"Oh, there's a lot of food in the kitchen because mom and dad left before dinner, then Oskar was out of town too..the maid cooked quite a delicious menu today," Mia said with a friendly smile.
"So uncle and aunt are not there? Where are they? When are they coming back?" Michael wondered.
"They're going to a relative's house to attend an event..they asked me but I didn't want to ... I can't leave Casey alone," said Mia still acting nice.
"Okay then. I'll take care of Casey tonight. You just rest," Michael exclaimed then immediately walked to the kitchen.
Mia was silent, seeing Michael who looked fresh wearing black shorts combined with a blue t-shirt, and combing his hair in a spiky style that made him look cool, a bit messy.
'Looks like this is the right night to get him stuck with me,' she thought with a sly smile. Ah, what is she planning to do? Was she going to rape Michael? or tease him?
