I Love You, Uncle
Chapter 20

Ansel smiled wryly while still stroking Clara's head. He glanced at the wall clock that still showed at 06:00 a.m. Ansel realizes that Clara may still be tired from their struggle last night, so he lets her sleep in his room.

"you even look so pretty when you're asleep like this" Ansel murmured.

Finally Ansel moved Clara from the couch to her bed. He covers Clara's body and then kisses her forehead before she leaves the room.

As usual, after waking up in the morning Ansel always took the time to train his muscles. He spent an hour in his gym. But somehow his mind was always on Clara.

"Gosh, I remember what happened last night. I actually slept with her" Ansel said inwardly, suddenly a knotty smile etched on his face.

There were mixed feelings in Ansel's heart. He actually feels guilty about doing things to Clara who is his nephew, but he cannot deny if he loves Clara not as a nephew but more than that.

Instantly the idea popped into Ansel's head to make breakfast for Clara. He assumes this way he can take Clara's heart. Not waiting long, Ansel immediately stopped his sports activities and headed to the kitchen.

"Sorry, what are you doing in the kitchen this early in the morning?" asked one of the maids who was surprised to see Ansel light the stove.

"I want to make breakfast" Ansel said.

"Ah, then let me make it for you, sir" said the servant.

"No, this time I want to cook breakfast for Clara with my own hands. Ah yes, it's better today you take the day off just like the other waiters," said Ansel while busy shuffling an egg.

The waiter simply nodded while looking at Ansel with a look of wonder. He was confused because unlike usual Ansel was willing to dwell in the kitchen to cook. Finally the waiter passed away leaving Ansel who was busy with his activities in the kitchen this morning.

Sunlight began to rise, the light penetrated into the room Ansel through the cracks of the window glass. Clara woke up while covering her eyes that felt glare due to the sunlight.

"Hoam... What time is it," murmured Clara as she glanced towards the wall clock.

Clara awakens misfortune and realizes that she is currently awake not in her room, but in Ansel's room. Clara immediately tidied up her clothes and walked out of Ansel's room. As she exited the room, Clara smelled the delicious aroma of cooking.

"Hmmm.. It smells so delicious, what the waiters are cooking in the kitchen" muttered Clara as she walked along to the source of the cooking's scent.

When he arrived in front of the kitchen, Clara was a little surprised because the one who prepared the food was not the waiter. Clara saw Ansel was busy preparing breakfast.

"Oh, you're awake apparently," said Ansel who noticed Clara's presence.

"Uncle is what?" ask Clara wonder.

"Of course we're making breakfast. I've made your favorite omlete and salad" said Ansel.

"Let's have breakfast now, you must be hungry, no" said Ansel.

Clara tried to act like nothing had happened. He doesn't want to remember what happened last night in Ansel's room. Clara walks to the dinner table and enjoys her breakfast with Ansel.

"Why did Uncle cook today? Isn't there a waiter in this house?" ask Clara.

"I've just comforted all the servants in this house because I'm sure they also need time to rest" Ansel replied.

"Ah so, so suddenly," said Clara while tasting the omlete made by Ansel.

"How do you like my cooking?" ask Ansel.

"Hmmm.. This is delicious, Uncle is good at cooking apparently," praised Clara.

The atmosphere that initially melted suddenly turned awkward when Ansel discussed what happened last night. Instantly Clara choked because honestly she felt embarrassed to discuss it now.

"Clar thank you for coming here, and for last night's incident." said Ansel who was then immediately cut by Clara.

"Ah, I think I should hurry to get out of here because there's work I need to finish" Clara said.

"But your food is not finished yet" Ansel replied.

"Well, I'm full, I go home first" said Clara, nodding indifferently and saying goodbye.

Ansel immediately stood up and chased after Clara. He immediately held her back by hugging Clara from behind. Sontak Clara glared in surprise at what Ansel was doing.

"God! Don't be like this, what if someone sees!" clara said as she tried to let go of Ansel's embrace.

"No one will see it because in this house there are only two of us, and if anyone sees me also does not care" said Ansel hugged Clara tighter.

Ansel tries to ask Clara to stay with him. Ansel's mood and mind were in turmoil and he needed someone to accompany him. Ansel clenched Clara and she could smell her scent which made her feel more calm.

"Sorry, Om. I can't stay here" Clara said in a choked tone.

"Why? I need someone to accompany me, I beg you, Clara," Ansel said with his attitude that so confused Clara because it was very different from Ansel's attitude before Clara moved.
