Clara felt that Laura's invitation was very strange and she did not want to agree to it. However, when she thought that she was going to donate her bone marrow soon to Helena, she just agreed. She was willing to save Helena, so she was very grateful to her on this point.
"Okay, when?"
After deciding the time with Laura, Clara hung up the phone.
"Who is it?" Seeing that Clara was not in a good mood after answering the phone, Andre asked curiously.
"Laura," Clara replied casually.
Hearing that she was talking to Laura on the phone, Andre instantly became alert. "Why did she call you?"
Hearing the worry in Andre's tone, Clara was a little moved. "She asked me to watch an opera tomorrow."
Hearing this, Andre lowered his eyebrows and fell into deep thought. According to his understanding of Laura, she must have ulterior motives when she went out with Clara. Clara was likely to encounter danger.
Thinking of this, Andre looked up and said to Clara, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?" Clara did not agree. Thinking of Andre's confession to her just now, she decided that it would be better to keep a distance from him in the future. "I'll go alone tomorrow."
"Have you forgotten that Laura wants me to pursue you?" Andre said, "Only when we show up together tomorrow, will Laura believe that I am pursuing you. In this way, next time when she has any plans to hurt you, she will be assured to tell me and I'll remind you to be careful."
Andre's words moved Clara a little. Laura was still a big threat to her and Neo, so she had to be careful.
Andre was there for them which made her rest assured.
However, knowing Andre's intention, Clara still showed up with him. She felt a little sorry and felt that she was taking advantage of Andre.
While Clara was hesitating, Andre suddenly raised his hand and smiled behind him.
She turned her head curiously and saw a long-haired beauty behind her smiling at Andre.
"A friend I knew before." Seeing the curiosity in Clara's eyes, Andre explained.
"He had female friends all over the world." Clara couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Moreover, they were all beautiful women.
But she had to admit that when she saw this scene, she felt relieved.
It seemed that Andre was not sincere about his confession just now. He might have said the same thing to the beautiful woman. He was a playboy, but she took it too seriously.
Thinking of this, Clara's psychological burden was suddenly relieved a lot.
"Clara, I'd better go with you tomorrow. I'm a little worried if you go alone."
After thinking for a while, Clara finally agreed. "Okay, I'll call you when I go tomorrow."
"Okay," Andre replied with a smile.
"Then let's continue the interview. I still have a few questions for you." Clara picked up the documents in front of her.
After asking a few professional questions, the interview was finally over. Clara also let out a long sigh of relief. The task was completed smoothly.
"I'll send you back," Andre suggested.
"No, thank you. I can go back by taxi. Better not bother you." Clara refused with a smile.
"Well, it's basic for a man to not allow a lady to go home alone. Don't tell me you don't even want to give me this opportunity?"
Hearing Andre's words, Clara couldn't refuse him anymore. His words were already so straightforward. If she refused again, it would only make her look pretentious.
"Well, thank you." Clara saw that it was getting dark outside.
"You don't have to be so polite to me," Andre said with a smile.
After asking the waiter and paying the bill, Andre drove back to the Selman with Clara.
The two of them chatted in the car. During this period, Clara had been holding a breath in her heart, afraid that Andre would bring up the topic that she was interested in again.
Fortunately, Andre did not mention it along the way, which made Clara more certain that his confession wasn't serious.
"Thank you for the ride." Clara unfastened her seat belt. After expressing her thanks, she got up and wanted to get out of the car.
"Wait a minute." Andre stopped her and took out the roses and gift boxes from the restaurant. "Well, I carefully selected these for you. It's also a token of my appreciation. Take them."
"It's too expensive." Clara hurriedly refused. "I won't accept it."
Knowing Clara's character, Andre didn't insist.
"If you don't want to accept the necklace because of its price, then you should accept the flower. I think you don't want such beautiful flowers to be thrown away in a trash can."
"Uh..." Clara looked embarrassed, but since Andre had said so, it was unreasonable for her not to accept it.
"All right." Clara took the flower in front of her and smiled at Andre. "Thank you."
"I said you don't have to be so polite to me."
After a polite smile, Clara opened the door and got out of the car. She waved to Andre and said, "I'll go home first. Bye. Be careful on the way."
Andre nodded and turned around to leave.
Looking at the red roses in her hand, Clara sighed and felt that her head began to hurt again.
She could guess some of Logan's thoughts, but Logan had never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. Her brother loved her so much.
Clara turned to her son. "Neo, put down the flowers. Mommy will take you to wash your hands."
"Okay" Putting the flowers in their original position, Neo secretly breathed a sigh of relief with his back to Clara. Fortunately, her mother didn't like the man who sent the flowers. Otherwise, what should her daddy do?
Neo ran to Clara's side. Clara took her to the bathroom obediently, but his round face was full of worry.
Although his mommy didn't like the man who sent flowers today, his mother was so beautiful that there would definitely be other men pursuing her in the future. If his mommy really liked someone else, wouldn't he have a stepfather?
Thinking of this, Neo hurriedly shook his head. He thought, "No, no! I don't want a step-father. I want my own father. Daddy is so powerful. He is the most suitable person for Mommy!"
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Neo suddenly shook his head, Clara asked in confusion. She touched his forehead with her hand and found that it was not hot. "Neo, are you uncomfortable?"
"No, my neck was a little itchy just now." Neo casually explained, and his little heart was nervously beating faster.
She patted Neo's neck gently with her hand and did not doubt him. "Is it still itchy now?"
"It doesn't itch anymore." The cute baby replied obediently.
"Then let's go eat." Clara picked up a towel and wiped Neo's hands.
He allowed Clara to hold him and walk to the dining table. At the same time, Neo made up his mind to investigate the reason why his daddy and mommy were separated.
However, how could he investigate it? The little guy fell into a new predicament.
The next day, after Clara sent Neo to school, she went to the magazine to work. She made an appointment with Laura to see an opera in the afternoon
After work at noon, Clara called Andre as promised, and made an appointment with him to meet in the magazine first, and then go to the opera together.
"Clara, let's take my care to the opera house." In less than half an hour, Andre arrived and stopped Clara from walking to her own car.
Seeing that Clara was a little hesitant, Andre continued to say, "If we drive two cars, I'm afraid that Laura will not believe that we are in a relationship."
After a minute of thinking, Clara nodded and got into Andre's car.
On the way to the opera house, Clara had been staring out of the window in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Andre thought for a while. In the end, he swallowed the desire to talk to her. He was afraid that he would make her dislike him.
When the car arrived at the park, Clara saw Laura waiting at the door and couldn't help but have a heavy look in her eyes.
No matter what Laura's purpose for calling her here today was, she would never let her succeed!
Seeing Clara and Andre coming together, Laura showed a triumphant smile. Andre's progress was not bad. It seemed that Clara was really moved by him. Humph! She was really an ignorant woman.
