119 Warm Welco
Since coming ho from the hospital Areez has been in a bad mood, for him there has never been a more terrible day than today.
Reunited with Suri after three months of separation, knowing the fact that Suri is the younger sister of Christian Clarke, who is the son of Jackson Clarke, his new business partner. It was sothing Areez never imagined.
Ever since Suri went missing, Areez has beco a very ssed up person. All of his thoroughness and prudence was lost, until at the peak he had to be missed after establishing a cooperative relationship with Jackson Clarke who incidentally is the biological father of Christian Clarke. Because Muller Finance International is a big company that is already very well known, Areez forgot to look for information about the company. Until finally he discovered the surprising fact that Christian Clarke was Jackson Clarke’s first son.
“I was really careless, how could I forget the most important thing like that, Aldrich. I am so stupid!” Areez said hoarsely, cursing the stupidity he had done.
Aldrich refreshed his ssy hair. “It’s not your fault Areez. In this world there are a lot of people whose last na is Clarke, so if we don’t know Christian Clarke is Jackson Clarke’s son it’s only natural. What’s more, we’ve never interacted with them before. So stop. bla yourself, it’s not your fault.”
Areez, who was already sitting down, couldn’t help but listen to his best friend’s words, he really had made the stupidest mistake.
“What if I just confessed to Jackson Clarke about Suri, Aldrich? Seeing Suri faint because she was so scared of made almost can’t breathe,” Areez said hoarsely, it was clear Areez was holding back his tears from coming out.
Brak...
Aldrich hit the table in front of him.
.....
“Don’t be crazy, Areez! You can’t do that, if you ca and confessed to Jackson Clarke it would be suicide!”
Areaz massaged his aching temples, still vividly rembering how Suri had fallen unconscious monts after eting him. Rembering that Areez felt so guilty, Suri was very afraid of him. Even though all this ti he had never touched Suri’s skin, Areez even treated Suri very well like a noble princess.
“It’s better for us to remain calm while continuing to approach Jackson Clarke,” said Aldrich again. “When the ti is right, then we can talk. I’m sure Jackson Clarke can understand what you’ve done to Suri.”
“But will my excuse be accepted?” Areez asked doubtfully.
“Jackson Clarke is a wise man, I’m sure he will understand,” Aldrich replied quietly, trying to calm Areez who looked so nervous. “As a big businessman I’m pretty sure that if Jackson didn’t bla your decision at that ti, he would have done the sa thing you did then. So now you better calm down and don’t panic.”
Areez, who was so weak, could only stay silent and did not respond to his best friend’s words. Currently Areez really in a position awry, he can not possibly cancel the cooperation agreent that has been made with Muller Finance International. The stakes are huge. All Areez can do now is to follow the advice given by Aldrich, to continue working with Jackson Clarke while waiting for the right ti to apologize to him.
“I hope you can forgive , Suri. I’m really sorry.” Areez spoke to himself with his eyes tightly closed.
Even so, he was shocked when he found out that Suri was the youngest daughter of Jackson Clarke, his new investor. But on the other hand Areez was so happy when he t Suri again.

Elena opened her eyes when the position of the moon was almost replaced by the sun, even though she slept on the sofa bed which was quite comfortable, but still Elena couldn’t really fall asleep. Several tis Elena woke up and was surprised when she realized that she was in the room alone. Elena even almost got up from the sofa to look for Christian if she didn’t hear Christian’s voice talking to a nurse in front of her bedroom.
“Already up?”
Elena, who was not yet fully conscious, was surprised when she heard Christian’s voice so close to her, Elena suddenly looked up to try to find the source of the sound. Her smile imdiately broke when she saw Christian sitting next to her.
“You do not sleep?” asked Elena back.
Christian smiles. “You naughty girl, answer a question with a question.”
“I’m serious, Christ. You really didn’t sleep, did you?”
Christian purses his lips. “Suri doesn’t sleep, how can I sleep?”
“Suri doesn’t sleep? Why?”
“The trauma is coming again, I don’t know why. Suri didn’t talk about it and I didn’t want to ask,” Christian answers hoarsely, not sleeping all night has made it so bad.
Elena pursed her lips, she slowly reached her hand out to Christian and pulled him over to the sofa where she was sleeping.
“Elena...”
“You need sleep, Christ,” Elena says softly, forcing Christian to lie down by her side.
Christian growls. “It’s almost morning, Elena. I can’t sleep, after all Suri...”
“Suri is not alone, your parents and Asher are taking care of her.”
Christian’s almost lost consciousness returns to full when he hears Elena ntion Asher’s na.
“Who told you that person’s na, Elena?”
Elena tilted her head. “What’s na?”
Christian’s jaw tightens. “Asher, who told you about Asher?”
“Haven’t you and Kainer ntioned his na a lot, haven’t you?” asked Elena confusedly.
Christian imdiately fell silent, he cursed his stupidity for ntioning Asher’s na without realizing it. As Christian’s anger fades, Elena slowly lays her body on Christian’s chest. Elena is trying to get Christian to lie down and sleep.
“Elena....”
“I’m still sleepy, co on accompany to sleep again, Christ,” said Elena hoarsely full of compulsion.
Even Christian, who is in a difficult position, can only surrender and not fight, after all at this ti his head also feels very sore. In a matter of minutes Elena finally managed to put Christian to sleep, the sound of his soft snoring could be heard clearly in Elena’s ears, who is currently using Christian’s chest as a pillow. Afraid to make Christian wake up, Elena decides to stay a little longer until finally after twenty minutes Elena finally slowly gets up from above Christian’s body. Elena slightly goes to the bathroom, Elena has to take a shower before Christian wakes up.
Elena doesn’t want to make Christian’s parents think that she’s a lazy girl, so even though it’s still early, Elena continues to take a shower. Elena is sure that if Christian wakes up he won’t be able to take a shower. Elena’s decision to take a shower was right, because not long after she finished putting her face with light makeup, Elena overheard the conversation of Christian’s parents. Elena imdiately shuddered at the thought of what would happen to her if she were still asleep at this point.
“Christ....ups, sorry! Sorry, mommy forgot you were here, kid.”
Elena, who was in a hurry to tidy up her make-up equipnt, was surprised by Anne who suddenly entered the room where Christian and her were.
Anne, who did not know that Christian was sleeping, imdiately closed her mouth when she saw her proud son was sitting on a different sofa in a crouched position, hugging a pillow.
“Christian just slept, right?”
Elena nodded slowly.
“Well then, let him sleep. He kept Suri all night,” said Anne again.
Elena who was confused about what to do was forced to just smile without opening her lips, she was still so awkward. Even though this is her second eting with Christian’s parents, Elena still feels uncomfortable. Not being officially introduced by Christian to his parents, Elena was in a very uncomfortable position and went awry. And Anne who was once in the sa position as Elena smiled a little, Anne carefully walked towards Elena who was standing by the glass.
“Don’t hesitate, Elena,” said Anne softly. “Your na is Elena, right?”
“Y..yes, madam...”
Anne shook her head slowly. “Don’t call madam, you are Christian’s future wife. You can call Mommy too, Elena.”
Elena’s legs imdiately felt weak, Elena did not expect that Marianne Clarke was so good to her. A beautiful, kind-hearted woman who is admired by many for her frequent charitable events to help others.
“You want to call ‘mommy’ right?” said Anne back with a smile so gentle.
Elena, who didn’t know what else to do, could only nod slowly in response to Anne’s words, Elena was still too shocked by Anne’s previous request.
Seeing the attitude of Elena who was very nervous made Anne touched. Anne, who never t Jack’s parents when she first ca into Jack’s life, understands that Elena is very nervous when talking to her at this ti and Anne is happy with that because it is a sign that Elena really respects her as Christian’s mother.
Not wanting to wake Christian up, Anne leaves the room silently after gently touching Elena’s cheek. Anne didn’t want to stress Elena. In her heart, Anne promises to have a better relationship with Elena in the future so that she can re-knit the tension between Christian and her.
“Oh Lord.” Elena directly touched her left chest which was racing rapidly with a pale face. “Christian’s mother asked to call her ‘mommy’.... I’m not dreaming, am I? Oh my God, how is this, what should I do?”
Unbeknownst to Elena, Christian, who was thought to be sleeping, was smiling at her. Christian, who had had ti to sleep, woke up imdiately when his mother called his na, but Christian chose to stay in his position because he wanted to know the interaction between his mother and Elena. Christian chuckles when he sees how adorable Elena is right now.
“Welco to Clarke family, Elena,” Christian said in his heart without taking his eyes off Elena who was still holding her cheeks with flushed cheeks. “I didn’t choose you wrong, Elena.”
