Chapter 208 - CHAPTER 208: DON'T YOU LIKE IT?

            Her expression brightened, and she quickly changed her shoes and skipped inside the living room.

                 "Mummy."

                 "Mummy."

           The twins skipped toward her from the couch and she instantly squat down and hugged them with a wide smile. 

            "Aww my babies, did you miss me?" She muttered cheerfully and the twins nodded eagerly. 

           "Mummy misses you too." She kissed their cheeks and stood up with them in both arms then suddenly heard a chuckle from the living room and her eyes darted to the couch with a gasp.

             Carl gazed at the shocked girl with one hand splayed across the couch headrest while a smile was plastered on his face.

             Clara stood transfixed in the same place as her mouth dropped. "W... What are you doing here?" She stuttered, finally regaining her voice. 

               "I've come to see you of course." Carl chuckled as he stared at her cute expression which he had missed so much. He sighed happily. He still couldn't believe that she was the little girl from that night. His smile widened and watched as she walked forward then dropped the kids on the couch. 

               Clara struggled for words again and she sighed exasperatedly then her gaze landed on the huge bag on the couch. "Huh? What is this?" She asked out loud and the twins who were now sitting by Carl's side turned to her with giggles.  

        "Mummy, Daddy bought us toys," Little Mia said sweetly while holding the guy's arm.

         "Yes, Mummy... and they're so beautiful." And now, it was Lea that talked and Carl ruffled the kids' hair with a chuckle. 

           "Daddy!?... When did he become your Daddy?" Clara's pupils dilated tremendously as she was lost for words again.

             The kids tilted their heads at the same time with small frowns. They could remember that their Mummy took them to his place yesterday and they even slept on the same bed. Doesn't that mean that he's their Mummy's husband?.

              Clara felt like crying as she quickly understood the kids' thoughts. She glanced at the guy again who still had the same smile on his face and she sighed again.

             'How did he know where I live? Argh! That Maya and Mira' she groaned inside. And it seems like even Lara had joined their team together with her babies.

             Carl chuckled again and finally stood up, then opened the huge bag and brought out a medium-sized box and gave it to her. 

             'What is this?' Clara stared down at the box with a small frown and quickly unwrapped it then her eyes widened again, staring down at the expensive drawing pen tablet which is the latest Wacom brand and she couldn't imagine how much it had cost, as she had never even dreamt of buying it. It would be more convenient for drawing her comics. However__

              "Big brother..." She slowly looked up at the guy with another sigh. "Y... You don't have to do all these... As I said earlier__"

              "Don't you like it?" Carl softly asked while looking down at her then he put on a gloomy expression. 

              "No, I like it" Clara shook her head frantically and said, "What I mean is..." She trailed off after seeing the guy's expression turned gloomier then sighed inside. 

             "Th... Thank you," She muttered softly and then turned toward her bedroom with another sigh. What is this? Seems like the guy is very persistent in his words of making her fall for him. 

             "Mm." Carl nodded, still smiling then went back to the couch, and joined the kids who were now playing with the toys.

             Clara opened the door and walked inside her bedroom then slouched down on the bed, after carefully placing the drawing tablet and its pen on the bedside table. 

            She stared dazedly at the ceiling then heaved another sigh and brought out her phone while contemplating which of her friends to call. And she finally dialed Maya's number. 

         "Hey, Clara... What's up?" Came Maya's cheerful voice from the other end. 

          "Maya... How did he know that I draw comics? And also my house?" Clara asked with a sigh. 

   

           "What!? Do you mean he's in your house!?" Maya's surprised voice sounded again and Clara slowly nodded. 

                "Yeah..."

          "Hehe... That is great... Clara, remember my little bump is growing bigger by each day," Maya suddenly said with a chuckle. "You should grab this opportunity if you don't want my baby to be your baby's__"

          "Maya!?" Clara sighed exasperatedly then listened to her friend's chuckle. She was about to hang up when her friend suddenly continued. 

 

            "Clara... I don't want to force you into this, but can't you see that he likes you so much? Please give him a chance okay? He's a very good man, let's put his looks and wealth aside... He would take very good care of you," Maya said softly with a sigh while wondering if her friend's logic was also twisted during the hypnosis. 

              "But, Maya..." Clara trailed off and splayed a hand on her chest. She was really in love with someone else. 

              "You have to face the reality, Clara... Stop fantasizing about a non-existent person. You only saw him in your dream, not in real life__ just give him a chance okay?" Maya added patiently. She was sure that the man in her friend's dream was also Carl but the poor girl couldn't remember anything. 

               Clara bit her lips and slowly nodded. "Okay... I'll try," she whispered and sighed again then listened to her friend's reply and hung up the call.

               She wasn't sure if she could remove that man from her heart even though she found them similar, but she'll try. Maya may be right__ but what if she couldn't__ Many thoughts ran through her head and she sighed while rubbing her head.

             Standing up from the bed, she unhurriedly removed her clothes then walked inside the bathroom. 

             Several minutes later, she came out and carefully dried her hair then changed into her pajamas and picked up the drawing tablet and its pen from the bedside table, and walked out of the room, praying that the guy would soon leave.
