A distinctive sound was heard as Jack's body hit the surface of the river after he slid into it.People immediately pulled over to get a better look at Jack. They couldn't believe that Jack actually swam into the river.Meanwhile, at what Claire said to Jack, he got a warm hug from the little girl."Don't worry, my boyfriend will definitely try hard to save Pipo."The little girl nodded with a hopeful smile. She asked to be held by her mother again, while looking towards the river.Now everyone was tensely waiting for Jack to reappear from the river. However, that didn't happen. It had been quite a while since Jack had gone to the river, but he hadn't appeared until now.Claire began to bite her own lips. Especially when she heard the people who spoke badly earlier, now starting their bad words again."Look, that crazy young man is really getting his comeuppance for not listening to our warnings. As of now, he hasn't been seen. Whether he froze in the cold or drowned because he can't

With a bright face, the little girl received her doll. She hugged the doll while jumping up and down with joy.Everyone applauded, including those who had belittled and insulted Jack. With big smiles, they were happy to see that Jack had survived his noble act.Many of them admired Jack in their hearts, especially when they found out that underneath the white shirt, Jack had muscular muscles, a broad chest, and six-pack abs! The water made the shirt stick to Jack's body, showing off his impressive muscles!"Jack," called Claire with two cups of hot tea and her father's thick jacket in her hands. She had purposely brought all the tea for Jack.Jack stood up and smiled.Both of Claire's shoulders dropped at the sight of Jack. She must have gone limp from the relief of knowing her boyfriend was okay.Uncle Bob quickly took his jacket and put it on Jack."Drink up, Jack." It was Claire's turn to hand Jack a glass of hot tea."I bought this for you. But it's okay, I'll drink it."People re

Everyone fell silent. They looked at each other, to confirm the shock on each other's faces.Young Master Roodenburg was not an unfamiliar name to them. They had often heard or read news about the most mysterious person in Rhineland. Even if the news was not accompanied by pictures, photos, videos that directly showed what Young Master Roodenburg looked like, Young Master Roodenburg's generosity and humility had long made them fall in love.Then, was the person they had been admiring, even idolizing, the young man who saved a teddy bear for a little girl's happiness?"A-are you sure?" A woman who had spoken ill of Jack tried to reconfirm. Her heart became uneasy all of a sudden.The little girl's mother looked at Jack's business card again. Then, she nodded confidently and said, "And here it says the address is Greenroad Villa.""Then there is no mistake, that young man is indeed Young Master Roodenburg. Greenroad Villa is a vast and luxurious estate. There is a magnificent building t

Normally the gatekeeper would open the gate immediately when Jack arrived. But this time he didn't because he didn't know that the driver of the black car was the Young Master. Even a frown appeared on the guard's forehead when he noticed that the car was exactly the same as the car used by Young Master Roodenburg's bodyguards. However, there was no Roodenburg family logo on the car. Moreover, he also knew that the car was not the car used by the bodyguard from the license plate.!!A tapping sound was heard as the bodyguard's finger hit the glass on the driver's side."Jack, are you sure he'll let us in?" Claire squeezed her boyfriend's arm.Jack smiled before opening the glass. And upon learning that the person behind the glass was the young master, the gatekeeper hurriedly pulled his lips back.A very wide and sweet smile spread across the guard's face. His rows of neat and clean teeth made the fierceness on that face disappear. Unconsciously it made Claire smile too."I knew you w

"I know Young Master Roodenburg is too perfect for me. But Mr. Bruce, seeing him with his girlfriend also broke my heart. I realize, a servant like me doesn't deserve Young Master. But Mr. Bruce, even so I feel devastated knowing he has chosen the woman he will marry. Then what should I do? I want to see Young Master happy, but..."Bruce patted Renee's shoulder. "Already, calm yourself down. If you already know and realize this, then stop acting like this."Bruce continued, "Young Master is not only classy in appearance, wealth, and so on. But he also has a classy attitude and nature. We were already working for the Roodenburg family before Young Master was discovered. Mr. Tom treated us very well, but his grandson treated us like family. You must still remember what Young Master did when you collapsed in his room. If it was anyone else, he would have immediately called me to take you away."Bruce paused for a moment to see the reaction on Renee's face. Then, he said again, "Now I ask

"Of course, everything is fine. Don't worry. It was just a call from Matthew. We'd better finish our breakfast and go to the strawberry farm."That morning Greenroad Villa became different. The peace was complete with happiness and love.They were about to go to the strawberry patch. However, Uncle Bob refused."You two pick strawberries for me. If the Young Master permits, I would like to take a walk around the garden." Actually, Uncle Bob didn't want to disturb his daughter's company with Jack."Uncle, don't call me that. To me, your 'Jack' is the best.""Really?" said Claire. "Jack. Jack? Jack!" She tried a few notes and made her father tap his forehead.Uncle Bob whispered to Jack. "Look, I'm not sure my daughter will change after becoming Mrs. Roodenburg."Jack laughed quite loudly. He made Claire turn to him."Why are you laughing?" Claire asked suspiciously."It's okay, Uncle Bob. That's what made me fall in love with your daughter." Jack ignored Claire's question.Claire, who

Without realizing it, the day flew by. The morning had passed and it was noon. Uncle Bob, who had just returned from a walk in the garden, looked very happy. He took off the hat Bruce had given him before sitting on a chair on the terrace."Aah!" A long breath came out of Uncle Bob's mouth. Although he sounded a little tired, he was still smiling widely. His face was just as radiant as before he went around the garden."Bruce, did you just let Uncle Bob keep walking around the garden on foot?" asked Jack who came first with Claire after getting a basket full of strawberries.Bruce had to chuckle at the expression on Jack's face. He then replied, "No, Young Master. We took the buggy car after walking a few meters. So, you and Miss Claire don't have to worry about Mr. Bob getting tired.""Thank you, Mr. Bruce for accompanying my father around. I can see he is very happy."Bruce bowed and smiled, "It's my honor, Miss.""Dad, is this garden so big that you need a lot of time to go around

'Yes, I'm Claire Boutcher, sir,' Claire replied.But of course, her answer did not reach Mr. Tom's ears, as Claire only said it silently. In fact, Claire was now frozen like a statue in place. Let alone making a sound, not even shaking her head or nodding.Claire only looked at Tom Roodenburg timidly.Seeing his future wife like that, Jack smiled with a sigh. Without saying anything, Jack walked to Claire's side. He held both of her shoulders.Claire gasped. She looked back at Jack before smiling at Tom Roodenburg."That's right, sir. I'm Claire, Claire Boutcher." She nodded slowly, then extended her hand to Tom Roodenburg.Unexpectedly, Mr. Tom chuckled. He let Claire's hand go unheeded.It was obvious that the woman's hand was shaking violently, as if she wanted to pull it back, but didn't dare. Claire was confused, anxious, and increasingly afraid.She began to think that Mr. Tom's laughter was meant to be sarcastic. She said to herself, 'What a fool! Even before Mr. Tom sees the g

Jack smiled broadly at his girlfriend. However, unlike him, Claire's face looked as pale as paper.Right now in her heart Claire must have been unable to stop talking while her head was filled with anxiety. She knew very well that this was what she wanted. Marrying Jack was certainly a happiness that would not even be enough to be represented by thousands of happy words alone.'But, is it this soon?'Claire swallowed her saliva with difficulty. It would have been easier if the Jack holding her hand was an ordinary pizza delivery man. Claire's thoughts became tangled because she knew that the man who was going to marry her was no ordinary man, but a Young Master Roodenburg!"Jack.""Yes." Jack turned to look at Claire."Are you sure you want to marry me?" Claire squeezed Jack's hand. She didn't understand why that stupid question came out of her mouth."Why? You don't want to marry me?""It's not like that. But-"Before Claire could finish her sentence, Jack cut her off by saying, "Cla

Jack insisted on driving Claire and Uncle Bob home, even though Claire asked to go home in her own car. Now another black Mercedes Benz drove up behind the car Jack was driving."Look, aren't you pushing yourself too hard? We could have made this simpler by letting me and dad go home by ourselves," Claire said after pointing at the back for a moment. "Now your bodyguards will have to follow this car.""Claire..." Uncle Bob called out to his daughter to prevent her from speaking more."Alright, alright. But Jack, instead of you getting tired of going back and forth to Greenroad Villa, wouldn't it be more effective if you let me drive. Driving from Greenroad Villa to my house won't tire me out. Oh, or are you worried that I'll be careless? Trust me Jack, I already have a driver's license. I'll show you. Just wait a moment."At that moment, Jack put the back of his right hand in front of his mouth while clearing his throat. He was trying hard to hold back his laughter."Look, this is a r
