68.
“Yes, ra, I was looking for you,” Joe replied. He kissed ra. Starting from her forehead, then her eyelids, moving down to her left cheek and then to her right. Then, he gazed longingly at ra’s lips.
Relieved, it turned out Gaston had never kissed ra.
“Uncle…,” ra’s words halted as Joe kissed her eagerly. Long, gradual, and deep.
While embracing her, Joe continued to kiss ra. Hundreds of kisses felt insufficient to make up for the month after he woke up from hisa. If he remembered correctly, he missed ra every day. Morning, noon, and night. ra, ra, and ra.
Slowly, Joe released his kiss. He gazed at ra’s face carefully. Their gazes met each other.
“ra Rusadi Lim, I apologize for all my mistakes towards you. Firstly, for not telling you when I woke up, and secondly, for pretending to have amnesia,” Joe confessed. With his right hand, he brushed ra’s hair behind her ear, then cupped her beautiful face. “I missed you so much, ra, I missed you so much!” he said incessantly, never stopping looking at ra.
Silence. ra’s heart was pounding. Her love for Joe Sebastian grew stronger every day.
“Come on, we need to talk!” Joe invited, leading ra out of the library.
“Where are we going, Uncle?” ra asked.
“To my room!” Joe exined.
“What for?”
“Just to my room, sleep in my room, we need to talk!” Joe said, tightly gripping ra’s hand as he led her to his room.
The door opened. After they were both in the same room, Joe closed the door and locked it.
“Just a moment, Uncle, didn’t you say you wanted to rest earlier?” ra asked, recalling the conversation with Dr. Gaston.
“Yes, ra, that was just an excuse to get Gaston out of my house quickly, why?” Joe asked, feeling sentimental at the mention of Gaston’s name. “Wait, ra, what were you doing alone with Dr. Gaston in the room? What were you doing?” Joe asked. He walked forward, making ra keep walking backwards until she couldn’t move anymore, blocked by the wall behind her.
Joe’s hands locked ra in his grasp. ra’s frightened face made him very happy.
“Tell me, ra, what were you doing? Hugging? Holding hands? Or did I see lipstick marks on Gaston’s lips, were you kissing him?! How could you, ra? What do you mean by saying you love me, but you let someone else enjoy my strawberry lips!” Joe used teasingly. Their faces were close, almost touching. Their eyes met,peting for oxygen. ra’s heart felt like it was about to explode, torn between fear and nervousness.
“I didn’t do anything with Dr. Gaston, Uncle, didn’t he exin? I really didn’t do anything!” ra defended herself, telling the truth.
“Really?”
ra nodded weakly.
“Okay, ra, I believe you!”
Smack.
Another kissnded on ra’s lips. Long and deep.
Joe guided ra to the bed.
“That’s enough, Uncle, don’t go any further than this!” ra whispered.
“What do you mean?” Joe asked.
“Well…,” ra didn’t answer.
Joe gently pushed ra’s body until shey down on the bed. His manly spirit began to rise. Somehow, ra’s position was now beneath Joe’s body.
He dominated and controlled ra’s petite body.
For a long time, Joe observed ra, her eyes tightly shut in fear.
Smack.
Joe kissed her lips again.
“Uncle…,” ra whispered a warning.
“Open your eyes, ra, rx, I won’t do that!” Joe said, moving to the side. Now they were lying side by side.
“ra, will you marry me?” Joe asked.
“Yes, Uncle, I want to marry you!” ra replied. Slowly, her heartbeat returned to normal.
“But I can’t wait long, ra, I’m a widower and I need a wife, not just any wife, but a good mother for my child!” Joe said.
“Let’s elope, Uncle,” ra suggested.
“Do you really not want to study in London like your parents?” Joe asked.
“I can study anywhere, Uncle, not necessarily in London, right?” ra suggested, starting to feelfortable with the conversation with Joe.
“Do you want to study or marry me?” Joe changed his body position, facing ra.
“Both, Uncle, I want to marry you and also want to study,” ra replied.
“Okay, tomorrow we’ll go to Singapore, I’ll ask for your grandfather’s blessing!” Joe said. His tone sounded casual, but his heart wasn’t. There was a mixture of fear and determination.
“Really?” ra asked, almost jumping for joy.
“Of course!” Joe pinched ra’s nose yfully. “Go to sleep!” hemanded.
ra nodded and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
Joe spread the nket, covering ra’s body.
“Rx, I won’t do anything!” Joe said. Standing tall, but not in fairness.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
It’s quite difficult for a widower, especially when there’s a beautiful girl sleeping next to him. Tonight, Joe really struggled hard to control his desires.

Zio let out a long breath. What he had just heard needed to be reported to Mr. Lim immediately. The voice recorder he installed on ra’s phone proved to be useful, providing a lot of information.
With his right hand, Zio reached for the phone on the nightstand. Then, he dialed Mr. Lim’s number. Regardless of the time showing past nine in the evening.
The call connected.
“Hello,” the voice on the other end sounded hoarse.
“Hello, Mr. Lim, sorry to disturb, I just wanted to inform you about something regarding Miss ra,” he said.
“What’s going on with ra?!” Freedy Lim asked.
“It seems like you’ll have a visitor tomorrow, Mr. Sebastian ising to Singapore and will ask for your blessing, Sir!” Zio eximed.
“Asking for my blessing? What does that mean? Doesn’t ra want to study in London?!” the middle-aged man’s voice sounded disappointed.
“Yes, from the voice recordings I installed on Miss ra’s phone, I don’t think Mrs. Margaret is entirely enthusiastic about Miss ra bing the main heir,” Zio revealed.
“What else did you hear?” Freedy Lim inquired.
“Miss ra, she seems to really like Joe Sebastian, Sir!” he replied.
“What about Gaston?” Freedy Lim remembered one name he trusted.
“Doctor Gaston, he supports Joe and ra, I think what matters most to him is ra’s happiness,” he said.
“Okay!”
Click. Freddy Lim ended the phone call abruptly.
