The atmosphere inside the Ferrari grew more intimate.
It was not until the traffic lights turned green and the car behind him honked that Clarence got a jolt.
âAhem ahem! Ceciliaâ¦â shouted Clarence.
âOh.â
Cecilia replied, still holding on to Clarence.
âAhem⦠the light is green now. I canât drive with you like this. There are people behind us.â Clarence coughed drily.
Cecilia chuckled and somewhat reluctantly let go of Clarence. âI didnât expect you to be so steady despite your height.â
Clarenceâs face instantly turned red. He was not very tall, only around 1.75m meters.
âYo, are you shy? Youâre married. Thereâs nothing to be ashamed of.â Cecilia smiled as she looked at Clarence.
Clarence stepped on the gas pedal, and the Ferrari continued its journey. âCecilia⦠Miranda and I may be married, but we havenât actually consummated our marriage.â
âHuh?â
Cecilia looked at Clarence in surprise. âWhatâs the matter? Your wife wonât let you do it?â
âItâs not that.â
Clarence laughed wryly and explained, âI saved Mirandaâs grandfather by accident three years ago.
âAt first, I didnât know who he was and I was just visiting him in the hospital to check up on him.
âThe Old Master probably thought I was a nice person.
âA week before he died, he made me and Miranda obtain a marriage license.
âMiranda and I didnât even have a wedding. Weâre only married in name.
âIâm practically as good as a maid in her eyes.â
With Cecilia listening, Clarence expressed his dissatisfaction with his marriage.
Cecilia looked at Clarence sympathetically. âI see. No wonder your wife looked so mean when I saw her after the car crash yesterday.â
âCecilia, I donât want you talking about Miranda like that.â Clarence frowned.
âWhatâs the matter? Itâs the truth, and you wonât let me talk about it.
âEven if youâre only her husband in name, thereâs no need for her to treat you this way.â Cecilia glared at Clarence matter-of-factly.
âIf you ask me, you two might as well divorce.
âCome live with me. Iâll take care of you!â
As if she was speaking logically, Cecilia reached out again and patted Clarence on the shoulder.
Clarence felt another electric shock and temporarily lost his grip on the steering wheel. The back of the Ferrari spun a violent curve, the driver behind him cursing Clarence out.
âCecilia, stop touching me. Iâm driving.â Clarence steadied the car somewhat awkwardly.
âHehe, forget it. Iâll stop teasing you. If you ever want a divorce, just call me.
âWith your medical skills, I can invest in you and open a clinic for you to make a living with. Why stay suffering with the Murphy family?â
Cecilia stopped teasing Clarence and sat seriously in the passenger seat. However, Clarence was still distracted by those beautiful legs.
All of a suddenâ¦
Clarenceâs phone rang.
âHello, Dear?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAre you at home?â asked Miranda.
âLil Bro, did your wife call you again? Is she checking on you?â asked Cecilia.
Clarence hesitated as he answered Miranda. âNo, why?â
âWhy did I hear a womanâs voice?â Mirandaâs voice was cold.
âItâs the woman from yesterday. She said she wanted to thank me, so she asked me to come out today,â explained Clarence, lest Miranda misunderstand his relationship with Cecilia.
Miranda was silent for a few seconds at the other end of the line. âEnough!
âIf you have nothing to do, come and wait downstairs for me.
âWeâll go over to Mom and Dadâs right after I get off work.
âWe have guests, so Mom and Dad asked us to go home for dinner.â
âOkay, Miranda. Youâ¦â Clarence wanted to chat longer.
Miranda hung up on him.
Clarence laughed wryly.
Cecilia said with disdain, âA woman like that!?
âLil Bro, you better leave her as soon as possible.
âItâs as if the entire world owes her something.â
âCecilia, stop.â Clarence shook his head.
âForget it. You wonât listen to me. Are you going to pick up your wife?
âDrop me off at a junction and go on without me. I donât want to see her.â Cecilia rolled her eyes.
Clarence found a junction to drop Cecilia off at. Then he drove the Ferrari to Mirandaâs company building.
It was nearly an hour before Miranda came down.
âClarence, where are you? Didnât I tell you to wait downstairs? Where are you?â Miranda called Clarenceâs phone, ready to scold him.
âDear, Iâm here.â
Clarence stepped out of the Ferrari, not parked far away.
âWhere did you get the car?â Miranda looked at Clarence with a puzzled look on her face. Recalling the womanâs voice on the phone, she realized immediately. âIs this from the Cecilia from yesterday?â
âYes, Cecilia said I saved her life, so she gave me this car.â Clarence smiled and nodded. âDear, I can drive you to work and bring you back home with this new car now.â
Miranda sneered. âI know this Ferrari model, Clarence.
âItâs worth almost ten million. Would Cecilia really just give it to you like that?
âIs there something else going on between you two?â
Mirandaâs pretty face was cold. She just stared at Clarence, looking distrustful.
Clarence was a little uncomfortable. âWell, Cecilia wants me to be her new brother.
âI also cured her illness, so she gave me the car to thank me for that too.â
âBrother? Haha!
âClarence, you disgust me.â Miranda blew up.
