In the afternoon, Clara was on her way home by taxi. She had turned her phone back on but kept ignoring Nathan's calls, even choosing to dial a number that she knew from the internet.
"Good afternoon, we are from the New York spy agency team. If you need our services, please register immediately," said someone from the phone when Clara was connected to the agency company.
"I'm Clara...I want to order one credible spy to investigate a case. Regarding what to investigate, I will send it via email," Clara said formally.
"Okay, you also have to enter your data and we will give you a form containing everything regarding the conditions for getting services from us," said someone who had a female voice.
"Okay," Clara said flatly.
"We are waiting."
"I'll send it right away."
Clara hung up the phone. She immediately sent personal details about herself, about the case to be investigated, then a request not to tell Nathan that he was seeking the services of a spy there. After getting the approval, she sent a considerable amount of money to the bank account belonging to the late Clara, because he didn't want to be suspected by the annoying Nathan. Yes, she was too annoyed with Nathan to decide to investigate the case with other spies.
'I should be able to because I don't have much time,' Clara thought after she finished dealing with the spy agency. She turned off her phone again, then turned her gaze to the roadside atmosphere.
Incidentally, at that time, the taxi was stopped at a red light. Clara glanced left and right until her eyes fell on a black car where the window opened revealing the figure sitting in it.
"Mia... Michael? Why are they together?"
Clara's heart was sliced when she saw they were Mia and Michael. she was annoyed and jealous because her cousin was now close to her boyfriend, the person she loved very much.
'They're getting closer because now that my body is being moved home... This is annoying... I'm sick of it, I'm so sick of it!' Clara said to herself as she continued to stare at Michael who was staring ahead. There was an urge to call out, but she had no reason.
A few minutes later, Michael started his car again, as did the taxi that brought Clara.

Nathan was at Casey's house. he tried to find where Clara was thereafter going to the hospital but couldn't find her. He didn't want to talk about the car for fear that Clara would get angrier.
"Because my wife is not here, I'm leaving to go home," Nathan said, sitting on a white couch in the living room of Casey's majestic metallic house.
"If she comes here later, I'll call you," said Robert, Casey's uncle.
Nathan nodded with a friendly smile then immediately got up from the sofa. He walked out of the house accompanied by Robert until he arrived on the terrace. The man immediately went to his car where there was already a driver waiting for him.
Drett... Drett...
His phone in his coat pocket rang. Nathan stopped on the terrace steps, then grabbed the sophisticated object and saw that there was an incoming call from one of the bodyguard named Daniel, then immediately answered it while walking towards the car.
"Hello, Daniel..have you heard about Clara?" Nathan asked to the point.
"Yes, sir. Mrs. Clara just came home with a taxi," said Daniel, sounding calm.
Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately got into the car saying, "Okay then..make sure she doesn't leave again."
"Yes, Sir."
Nathan immediately hung up the phone, then asked the driver to take him back to the mansion. The man sat quietly, but his heart was restless.
'Okay... I'll go along with her wish...I'd rather be in trouble because of her than I am without her, even though she's so different now,' he thought sadly.

Clara entered the house, was immediately greeted by Diana and Frederica who were in the living room. Her mood immediately worsened because she had to focus on being Clara completely because of Nathan's in-laws and daughter.
"Clara, where have you been?" Diana asked approaching Clara, then hugged her for a moment. The middle-aged woman looked elegant in a dark blue overalls dress with closed sleeves and let her hair flow beautifully.
"Eh ... I was just looking for peace, Mon," answered Clara with a fake smile.
Diana sighed, then touched Clara's shoulder. "Whatever happens, Mommy hope that you and Nathan can understand each other and don't think about staying away from each other. Because even to be a husband and wife, you need struggle...So, don't ever waste your struggles."
"Yes, Mom. We just disagreed and I went to calm myself down. Everything will be fine." Clara smiled reassuringly, turning her gaze to Frederica who looked up at her so innocently and beautifully. She squatted down in front of the little girl, then flicked her chubby cheeks. "Hi, sweetie. I didn't expect you to be here... If I knew you were here, I probably wouldn't have been away for too long."
"Eh, where is mom from?" asked Frederica in her cute voice.
"Eh, mommy was just out for a walk. Met some friends." Clara answered with a lie.
"When daddy comes home, I want to play with mom and dad," said Frederica, who had been taught to call Clara "mommy".
"Yes, honey. Of course."
"Clara, you and Nathan can spend time with her while she's here. She'll be here for a few days," Diana said.
"Uh?" Clara stood back up. "Then… What about Patricia?"
.
"She allowed it because she didn't want Frederica to be deprived of Nathan's attention. After all, he's her real father, he has to give her love as a father," Diana explained with a tinge of sadness on her face. She turned to sit on the couch, looking at Frederica who was so innocent and cute wearing black mini leggings combined with a gray sweater and tied her hair in a ponytail. "No matter what, this little girl never wanted to be an unwanted child…she can't be hurt."
"Yes, Mom. Later I will persuade Nathan not to be too cold to her," said Clara again glancing at Frederica who was now playing with a small doll on the couch. 'She's just a kid who doesn't know anything...if Nathan never felt that he had impregnated Patricia, he should at least show a good attitude to Frederica because she doesn't know anything,' she thought.
"Clara... If you want to rest, that's fine," Diana exclaimed.
"Uh, yeah mom...I take a shower first," said Clara, immediately leaving the living room to the upstairs room, not crossing the living room which looked very quiet.
While walking, Clara kept thinking about whether Patricia was really not Nathan's child or did Nathan accidentally impregnate Patricia? She couldn't even stop thinking about the car he had already paid for and would soon be taken care of by the confidant who was her spy, then thought about how Michael would respond to Mia, who always approached him.
'Oh my.... This is driving me crazy! looks like I need a warm bath to relax,' she thought annoyed.
