Cecilia snorted coldly. “I won’t acknowledge you, even if you wanted to be my sister-in-law!

“You’re getting divorced soon. Why are you acting so arrogant?”

“Who said we’re getting a divorce?” Miranda’s face was grim with anger.

“Didn’t you say it? Clarence told me you’re hooking up with your first love again.” Cecilia gave Miranda a contemptuous look.

Miranda roared, “What do you mean we’re hooking up? That sounds so awful!

“Clarence, what did you tell her? Are you slandering my name in front of strangers?” Miranda glared at Clarence.

Clarence sighed. “I didn’t say anything.”

“Do you not have the courage to take responsibility for what you’ve done?

“Am I shaming you into anger?” Cecilia was amused.

Miranda was furious. “That’s nonsense!”

“Haha. Forget it. I’ll let this one slide. You’re my sister-in-law, after all!

“Though I don’t think you’ll be my sister-in-law for much longer.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cecilia looked up at Miranda proudly as she walked up to Clarence’s side and took his arm. It was quite the amorous gesture.

The faint scent of a female body reached his nostrils!

Clarence felt a headache coming on.

He and Miranda already had a lot of misunderstandings between them.

With Cecilia stepping in, their misunderstandings had only deepened.

Clarence tried to free himself from Cecilia, only to find her holding his arm tighter and even leaning her head against him.

“Don’t worry, my brother’s a good man. Even if he divorced you, many women would fight over him!” Cecilia looked at Miranda defiantly.

Miranda stomped her foot in anger. “Dream on!

“I’ll have a contract marriage with Clarence for the rest of my life. I won’t give you a chance to get him!

“Clarence, you can forget about a divorce too!

“I won’t divorce you, even if I have to torture you till you die alone!” Miranda yelled at Clarence.

With that said, Miranda turned around, got into her BMW, and sped off angrily.

Watching Miranda leave, Clarence sighed, “Cecilia, are you here to cause trouble?”

“Hehe! Aren’t you going to thank me?” Cecilia grinned in a confident yet cute manner.

Clarence glared at Cecilia, furious. “Thank you? You’ve made things worse, and now I have to say thank you?”

Cecilia reached out and flicked Clarence’s forehead with her delicate finger. “Don’t think I don’t know that you don’t want a divorce!

“I’ll piss Miranda off for you so she won’t divorce you so simply!

“Won’t you thank me now?”

“Cecilia?” Clarence was surprised.

“Hmph!”

Cecilia snorted gently. “I know men best. If you wanted a divorce, you would have gotten divorced already. Why try so hard to talk things out with her?

“There was love in your eyes just now! You’re still in love with Miranda!

“You say you don’t care, but you do.

“You just act like you don’t care!

“The more you try to show how you don’t care, the more you actually care inside!

“You think I don’t know that?”

Cecilia spoke, her words all reasonable.

Clarence rubbed his nose with some frustration. “Cecilia, are you trying to analyze me psychologically?”

He was embarrassed. Cecilia was right.

Clarence had repeatedly decided to divorce Miranda, but his heart had wavered again and again.

When Miranda’s first love—Sheldon—had gotten involved in his marriage, Clarence had really wanted a divorce!

However, he had relented again once Miranda explained the situation.

“Did I guess right?” Cecilia pouted her lips.

Clarence nodded. “Cecilia, you’ve got it right... but... does Miranda like me back?”

“She... Perhaps.” Cecilia frowned slightly.

“What do you mean by ‘perhaps’?” Clarence’s heart fluttered.

Cecilia shook her head. “I don’t get it. Perhaps she likes you too, or she just doesn’t want you to leave her.

“After all, you’re just a maid to the Murphy family!

“She might just be comfortable with you taking care of her.”

“Maybe. I’m just a babysitter to Miranda.” Clarence shook his head with a wry smile.

“Alright!”

Cecilia reached out both hands and pushed up the corners of Clarence’s mouth, helping him smile. “Why the long face? There are women everywhere!”

Clarence felt the warmth of the woman’s fingers at the corners of his lips. He subconsciously stuck out his tongue to lick them.

“Are my fingers sweet?”

Cecilia’s beautiful eyes sparkled. She pinched Clarence’s lips, before her delicate fingers slipped between them.

“Ahem ahem!”

Clarence took a few steps back and coughed awkwardly. “Cecilia, stop it.

“You didn’t come to me today to tease me, did you?”

Clarence knew that although Cecilia seemed playful, she was more conservative than most women.

She must have come to Thirteen Hall for something else today.

Cecilia looked at Clarence flirtatiously. “Lil Bro, back then, I was on my period. It just ended today.

“Why don’t we finish... our unfinished business from the bar that day?”

“Cecilia! You...” Clarence looked at Cecilia in surprise. Was I wrong? Is Cecilia not a decent woman at all?’

Cecilia smoothed her hair down and strode toward Clarence. Clarence stepped back. He retreated again and again, eventually retreating into Thirteen Hall itself.

She simply continued until she had pushed Clarence against a wall!

She trapped Clarence against the wall! Her behavior was extremely overbearing.

“Lil Bro, there’s no way you’re getting out of my hands today.” Cecilia looked at Clarence as she smiled.

Just then, a frantic voice came from outside Thirteen Hall. “Brother Howard, I’m here! Are you here?”

Jeremy excitedly rushed into Thirteen Hall just in time to witness Cecilia trapping Clarence against the wall!

“Brother Howard?”

Jeremy was stunned for a moment before turning around to walk back outside. “Ahem ahem! I didn’t see anything!”

“You two can go ahead. Go ahead!”

“Brother Howard, I’ll come back in the afternoon!”
