Reign of the Heir Chapter 166
"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

It was indeed Monday, a day that felt heavy as one had to return to the work routine after tasting the joy of the weekend. At least that's how it always felt for Claire who often felt lazy to get out of bed. It seemed that when she opened her eyes on Monday morning, all the tiring things at work were still lingering in her memory, making her eyelids feel even harder to open.Even so, Claire always woke up early out of responsibility, especially after becoming the store manager, her duties became bigger. After all, she had already been unemployed. As tired as she was of working, she was still more tired of looking for a job.However, this morning was a little different. Claire woke up early, even very early. Not only that, she had also taken an early morning shower. And now she was standing in front of the closet.The closet had been open since earlier. And Claire was still focused on looking at her clothes. She cursed herself for not taking care of her appearance. She regretted not th

The woman was silent for a moment. Her face took on a complicated look as she thought of a suitable answer for Claire.However, she could not ignore her ability to judge one's appearance. She was used to giving criticism, as well as being a consultant for one's appearance. However, he knew very well who the person in front of him now was.That woman must not speak carelessly. Offending Young Master Roodenburg's lover was tantamount to offending the young master himself."Perfect." The woman continued with a smile that looked even stranger. She seemed to be forcing herself to say it.Of course Claire's temples twitched faster and faster. She knew how messed up she looked right now. However, she refrained from speaking. It was true, sometimes silence was the best choice."Introducing Miss Boucther, I am Regina who will dress your face, this is Judith who will do your hair, while this is Sheila who will choose the right clothes for you."'So they have different tasks. How much will Jack

"Are you going to keep staring at me or start the car and drive?"Jack shook his head slowly without relaxing his smile. He didn't say anything and just let out a long sigh. "Haah..."Really, Claire's appearance had caught Jack's eye! He had a hard time looking away.Claire leaned closer to Jack and whispered, "Hurry up and start this cool car of yours or I'll get even more excited and can't resist kissing you."Jack looked at Claire even more intently. Their friendship had always been very close. They often held hands or shared hugs. They often made such physical contact even in front of Uncle Bob or in public. However, never once did they kiss, not even on the cheek, let alone on the lips.Jack knew Claire was only joking. But it was enough to make his blood flow faster.Indeed, even when Jack was Sophie's boyfriend, he refrained from doing more. Although there was no denying the desire in his heart to do so.It might sound strange to most men, but Jack had never kissed a girl, not
