Part 31.


    ra walked slowly towards the library. She pushed the door handle. Joe was there, standing with a book in his hand. ra had entered this room before, but it was the first time she observed it carefully. It turned out that the room was filled with books.


    “Do you read all the books in here, Uncle?” ra asked. She sat down while observing Joe from a distance. The man always looked handsome just by standing and breathing. Always and always, ra was captivated and mesmerized.


    “Of course, I’ve read them all!” Joe boasted.


    “Are there any novels, Uncle?” ra changed the subject. Joe was indeed intelligent, diligent, and kind. All the wealth he possessed surely came from a set of good habits. The foundation of his sess. He was good at seizing opportunities, reading the market, and one more thing that no one else had. He was talented and handsome from birth.


    “What kind of novel?” Joe asked. Novels were one of the least books he bought and read. He liked general knowledge and everything about business.


    “Any kind, Uncle. My exams are over, and college registration is still about three weeks away. So, I’ll use the time to read books!” ra replied.


    “Aren’t you studying for college entrance exams?” Joe protested. He narrowed his eyes and noticed something different about ra. The girl looked sweaty, even though the AC in the library was on and it was quite cold.


    “I’m taking a break from studying, Uncle!” ra replied. She held her chest, which was pounding. It was strange; usually, she would be nervous when she was very close to Joe. But this time they were more than three meters apart, and ra’s heart was beating fast.


    “ra, are you not feeling well?” Joe inquired, closing the book he was reading and stepping closer to ra.


    “No, Uncle!”


    “Why are you sweating?” the man asked again, wiping ra’s sweaty forehead.


    “I’m fine, Uncle! It just feels strange!” ra said, shaking her head. Her face was heating up with suppressed desire.


    “Did you get caught in the rain earlier?” Joe began to worry.


    “No, Uncle!” ra replied, feeling even hotter and her body feeling very strange.


    “What did you eat? Did you eat too much satay?” Joe asked. He observed ra opening her warm clothes as if holding something back.


    “Uncle, I’ll go to my room first!” ra excused herself. She feltpletely out of control.


    “Wait!” Joe grabbed ra’s hand.


    “Do I need to call Dr. Gaston?” Joe asked.


    “No, Uncle!” ra’s breath started to race as she felt an unusual desire she had never felt before.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What’s wrong?” Joe asked again, carefully observing ra.


    “Kiss me!” ra ordered, taking a step forward.


    Joe narrowed his eyes. ra wasn’t usually like this. The girl would be shy and close her eyes. But tonight, ra herself asked for a kiss from him.


    Joe couldn’t refuse. They looked at each other and began to unite their lips. Kissing each other.


    “ra!” Joe whispered, breaking the kiss.


    ra didn’t reply. She just stared at Joe provocatively.


    The man began to struggle to control and manage his body. All of ra’s actions made him react even more.


    “Wait a minute, ra, if you’re like this, I can’t restrain myself! Especially waiting until you graduate from college!” Joe whispered, trying to control himself. ra’s ck hair flowing, her beautiful skin, red lips, and teasing movements.


    “Kiss me, Uncle!” she ordered again.


    But this time, Joe refused. He was afraid of losing control himself.


    “No, ra, I’ll take you to your room and call Dr. Gaston!” Joe grabbed ra’s hand and led her out.


    “I don’t need Dr. Gaston, I need Uncle Joe!” ra whispered and tried to reach for the man’s lips again.


    Slowly, Joe refused. He guided ra out of the library.

    “Mama, don’t go anymore!” Kimmy pleaded. Although sometimes she didn’t like Vivian, in her deepest heart, Kimmy missed her mom very much.


    “Mama won’t go, sweetheart,” Vivian replied, reaching out to hug her little one.


    “Can’t Mama and Papa be like they used to?” Kimmy asked.


    “They can, as long as Kimmy talks to Papa!” the woman persuaded. Kimmy was the only reason that could make her and Joe get back together.


    “Talk to Papa? About what, Mama?” Kimmy looked up to see her mom’s face.


    “Enough, Kimmy, it’s time to sleep now!” Vivian coaxed, remembering her n with Joe tonight.


    Kimmy obeyed, closing her eyes, trying to sleep.


    And… slowly, the little girl fell asleep. Vivian looked at her daughter’s face. There was a sense of regret because of her selfish behavior in the past. Kimmy must miss her very much. The woman wiped her face roughly. She rose from her bed slowly.


    She tidied her hair and walked towards the door.


    The door opened. Vivian stepped towards the living room. She approached the ss on the tray, which was now empty.


    “Has Joe drunk it?” Vivian muttered. She nced around the room.


    After a moment of thought, she decided to walk to Joe’s room.


    Knock. Knock. Knock.


    Vivian knocked on the door.


    “Joe!” she called softly.


    Creak!


    The door opened because it wasn’t locked.


    Vivian felt relieved. It wasn’t hard to ess Joe’s room. She entered and decided to wait for her ex-husband in their room first.


    The woman turned on the main light, looking around the room. Not much had changed, except for their wedding photo that was no longer there. Vivian continued to walk. There was something strange on the sofa. Yes, the sofa where Joe had kissed ra some time ago.


    “Hair clip!” Vivian whispered, examining the hair clip. It wasn’t hers because she never owned one. It wasn’t Kimmy’s either.


    “Whose is this?” she added, full of questions.


    Vivian’s chest felt tight. She was sure the hair clip belonged to ra.


    “You little flirt!” she muttered.


    Vivian threw herself roughly onto the bed.


    “Have you really forgotten about me? You said you couldn’t live without me! Look, Joe, you lied. Not even three months after our divorce, you bring a woman into your room!” sheined angrily.


    Vivian then got up. She left Joe’s room just as she saw her ex-husband and ra leaving the library hand in hand.


    “So, is ra the woman you’re seeing?” Vivian asked. She folded her hands in front of her chest as she walked towards them.


    “Mind your own business! Stay out of this!” Joe replied. While ra, who stood beside him, felt increasingly powerless. Yes, ra felt her body temperature rising with her heart pounding.


    Vivian’s gaze shifted to the empty ss. “Who drank this?” she asked, probing.


    “I did, Aunt!” ra admitted.


    “What?” Vivian’s eyebrows lifted with an angry look.


    “Just so you know, I added medicine to that drink!” Vivian exined. “ra, you’re quite talented at seducing my ex-husband, and that medicine seems to make…” Vivian stopped her sentence, looking at ra disdainfully.


    “Stop it, Vivian!” Joe snapped.


    “What?!” Vivian challenged. “I’m not afraid. I’ll tell everything to Mama!” she threatened with satisfaction.


    “Just say it! I’ll make sure nothing happens to my rtionship with ra!” Joe replied fearlessly. “By you revealing everything to Mama, it means you’ve helped me, and I don’t need to wait until ra graduates from college to make her my wife!” Joe added.


    The man returned the gaze of his ex-wife. He knew Vivian had mixed a certain drug into the drinking water ra consumed.


    Joe led ra into his room and left Vivian behind.


    “Watch out, both of you!” Vivian muttered angrily as she walked towards Kimmy’s room.


    ==?==


    “ra!” Joe called out, observing ra’s flushed face.


    “Yes, Uncle!” ra replied, turning to the source of the voice. ra deliberately turned her back to Joe. She restrained herself from the raging desire. She really wanted to kiss Uncle, who was still in her room.


    “Do you know what medicine you took earlier?” Joe asked.


    “I don’t know, Uncle!” ra answered.


    “That’s a medicine you shouldn’t have taken. Do you want me to stay with you? Or leave? Or should I call Dr. Gaston?” Joe offered.


    “I’m embarrassed if Dr. Gastones here, Uncle!” ra whispered, bowing her head. “How long will the medicine stop working, Uncle?” ra asked. Keeping her gaze away from Uncle.


    “I’ll ask Dr. Gaston in a moment?!” Joe reached for his phone.


    “Don’t!” ra stopped him. “Don’t call Dr. Gaston. I… I… Kiss me! Uncle!” ra turned around and kissed Joe enthusiastically. She continued to feel more and more eager.


    ra and Joe both loosened their embrace.


    “ra, I have to leave your room! Honestly, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself anymore!” Joe confessed. The constant temptation of receiving kisses from ra was overwhelming for him.


    ra swallowed hard.


    “But Uncle won’t meet Aunt Vivian, right?” ra asked. The message from Joe’s ex-wife about someone in bed made her uneasy and made her keep Joe close.


    “No! Why should I? I’m not interested in that woman anymore!” Joe replied.


    “Okay, Uncle can leave my room, but promise me Uncle won’t meet Aunt Vivian!” ra requested.


    “Yes, I promise!” Joe replied, breathing heavily.


    Joe stood up.


    “Uncle!” ra whispered.


    “Yes?”


    “Kiss me once more!” she requested.


    Joe leaned down and kissed ra long and deep.


    “Tonight you’ve embarrassed yourself, ra. You also have to promise not to do this with another man!” Joe requested.


    He then left ra’s room.


    The door closed again.


    Joe breathed a sigh of relief. He gently pounded his chest. Seeing ra so wild, dominant, and affectionate really made his heart race.


    “Could this be what ra feels when she’s close to me!” Joe muttered as he walked to his room. He needed to rx from ra’s antics that felt suffocating.


    He smiled, although ra’s foolishness made him very happy tonight.
