He would not turn down an offer made by his wife, this was a rare occurrence. Now they were in the restaurant, alone and facing each other. Ahren herself had invited him to have lunch here, and this was Ahren's first treat in a public place."Did you order?" Ahren asked when she saw that Clayton had put down the menu book he was holding earlier. she hadn't even finished choosing the menu she wanted because she was thinking about what food would make her happy."I did, Ahren. I'll have this."Clayton chose the more accessible menu, he decided the set menu to make it easier for him, Ahren nodded his head. Of course, the man in front of him was not complicated. He was a person who lacked knowledge and just chose things in his own way, it was easier to order a meal that covered everything. The meal cost only 20$, it was cheap and made Ahren feel sorry for him."Clayton, you can order another meal. I don't think what you just ordered is enough for you at all." Ahren said as she watched her
Clayton heard something he had never heard in the car- Ahren's laughter finally broke out, looking very happy in the car. With her big, loud voice, Ahren wiped her eyes with a soft, supple index finger."It was a creepy thing to do, but somehow I'm really glad you did that."Ahren rubbed her eyes, finally looking at Clayton beside her, preparing to start the car engine."He always says something sickening and he's not as strong as he thinks he is. Don't fall for what he says, Ahren. He won't be able to beat you."The compliment flowed into Ahren. She thought about Clayton's words. This man who became her husband often gave her encouragement, but she usually ignored it. And lately, she had been thinking more and more about her husband regarding the cooperation of Arnould's company, Clayton had, in fact, been a great help to her. Without the information provided by Clayton, she could not make a good proposal, and of course, he repeatedly encouraged her."True, but it could be a problem a
From that place, it became cold, and the air became heavier. Uncomfortable because her words came as a surprise from the mouth of an old woman's woman.Ahren finally opened her mouth. She looked at her mother and said, "You're acting strange again. You never said anything like this yesterday."Ahren ended their conversation, not wanting it to get any bigger than this. But as she walked, Elle took Ahren's hand."Think about what Mom just said. If you become the next head of the family, and are still with him, it will be a mockery for you alone." Elle continued to stare at her daughter, she watched with serious-looking eyes.The air was heavy, Ahren shook her head as this was completely unexpected. Although the house's atmosphere a while ago was filled with tension, it felt calmer. Her mother never again said she should divorce Clayton. But after hearing that she would be the next head of the family, her mother started acting up."Did you not listen to what I just said properly?" Ahren
Dinner was happening in the dining room compared to the previous house. Ahren was calm, she did not ignore Clayton, who would be with her, in contrast to her not wanting to look at Clayton and deliberately put a sour face on him.Occasionally, there would be a clinking sound from the knives and forks they held as they ate. Elle chewed with rough movements, she deliberately showed it so that her son could understand her.Ahren finally put down hee fork and knife. She exhaled, then looked at her mother sharply and spoke, "Mom, Stop acting like a child if you're like this again then big problems could happen to us later, Mom."Elle still had a sour face, she pressed her lips together and stopped the next movement, which made the meat almost fall off her fork."Ahren, I just want to give you the best." She lowered her voice, pleading with her son to understand.She knew that there was a lot Clayton had been up to lately, and they were indeed living more comfortably. But that didn't immedi
The voice of truth had silenced the people who were there in speech, they looked at Ahren like a sinner for just telling the truth. But they were filled with anger and disbelief even though she had finally told the truth, it was unacceptable because it didn't make the same sense to them."What a liar! She's now pretending to have succeeded in cooperation when she has no ability whatsoever!" Jacob began to attack Ahren. he pointed at Ahren, and the person beside him nodded, agreeing."Uncle Ramon, you said yourself that if you successfully cooperate with the company they will be entitled to be the heir of this family. I have proven myself to be worthy of the position you promised."Ahren's voice was loud, she didn't seem afraid of them, and even though people pointed at her in disbelief, she was tough, not afraid of any words coming out of their mouths. She wasn't, even if people were angry at her attitude, she had to earn her right.Ramon was surprised by her statement, he didn't expe
Bella said it but raised both hands, her emotions were thumping, as seen from her giant breathing. She was shameless in saying things that were lies.The look in her eyes was also so sharp, she was filled with anger, not just silence. "Uncle, I'm telling the truth and that's the proof."Clayton also helped explain what happened. With his calm demeanour and no change of expression, he spoke, "Ahren said it right, Yesterday we met with the head of the company there, Mrs. Camila."Austin's eyes bulged. The more he heard about Clayton's day, the more annoyed he became. "Hey, who's going to listen to you here! You're so arrogant right now! Do you think we're going to listen to that?"His behaviour was supported by the others as they did the same and laughed together."She must have forgotten who she is! She's not anyone here. How dare she talk so much as if we've accepted the most useless person here!" Flori insulted her, she remembered the treatment from Clayton that made her even more em
Everyone was staring at the two of them, the information about them being kicked out of the company building was not discussed because it would only embarrass them. The troublemaking guy Jacob stared at the two with a stifled laugh, deliberately making a really annoying expression.Austin clenched his fists. Really, what was being talked about was unfortunate for him, and to him, Clayton was the one who didn't deserve to speak because the more he talked, the worse things were."This damn man doesn't know himself, just a little bit of kindness to him and he changes! Thinks he's a great person." Austin looked so annoyed, he couldn't help himself, especially when Clayton, without smiling a bit, faced him.He immediately threw his fist at Clayton, delivering a surprise attack that the man didn't have time to prepare for. He hoped that this way, the man would hit the review from him. But as he approached, his hand was suddenly swatted away by Clayton, and he was slapped right in the face,
Ahren's eyes looked stern, and she got into the car with Clayton. When Clayton had just gotten into his car, he heard Ahren shouting."They're so annoying! Even with evidence like this they still think I'm lying!" Ahren was overwhelmed with a burst of anger, nor could she catch her breath, her breathing was rough from being so emotional about this.She scratched her head slightly, showing she was very upset about this. "They really don't want me to be the next head of the family."Clayton suddenly held her hand, drawing her attention. "You will definitely remain the head of the family. Calm down for a moment, you don't need to spend energy on them, Ahren."Ahren listened to Clayton's words. She took a deep breath and regulated her breathing even better. And it worked a few seconds later."They'll definitely do something so that I don't become the next head of the family and my cousins hate me. I'm pretty sure..."Who would trade their good life for a chaotic situation? They would alwa
