Wife To Sean
Pick up Claire

Sean's mother walked quickly when she saw her son walking towards the main door. "Sean, wait. Where are you going again?" He had just arrived this afternoon, now he was going again. He hasn't even explained anything about the problem with Claire.

Sean stopped his steps and turned his body towards his mother. "Go to town A. I'm gonna go get my wife."

Sean's mother looked at his son's slightly pale face. "Eat first. You haven't eaten anything since morning, have you?"

"I'll eat on the plane. I gotta go, Mom." Sean held onto his mother's shoulder and gently rubbed it, "i go first."

Sean's mother could only breathe out softly after seeing his son's departure.

*******

Sean goes to town A along with Kenz. They arrived in town at 9 p.m. Sean goes straight to Claire's parents' residence upon arrival in town A. This is the first time Sean has met Claire's parents. He even asks Kenz to find out about Claire's parents before they arrive in town A.

Upon arrival, Sean is immediately greeted by Claire's parents. They seem to know that Sean is coming to his residence. "Good night, Father, Mother," said Sean politely as he bowed for a moment. This was his first time bowing in front of others.

Claire's mother and father smiled broadly. "Night. Come on, come on in."

Sean nodded and followed Claire's parents' footsteps into the living room with Kenz. "Sit down." Claire's father pointed his hand at the long sofa that was in front of her.

Sean nodded. "Dad, I meant to come here to pick up Claire. I want to take her home." No pleasantries, straight to the point, that's Sean.

Claire's father let out a long breath before speaking. "Claire, not here, Sean. He never came here after he married you."

Sean seems to still not believe the words of his father-in-law. "Dad, he left me without saying anything. He must have come back here, this is his house."

"This is no longer his home, Sean. After marrying you, you're the one who's home now."

Sean was silent, his eyes deepened. "Sean, Claire really isn't here. You can check this house if you don't believe us" Claire said in a soft voice.

Sean fell silent with an illegible expression.

"Did you guys fight before?" ask Claire's father.

"No," Sean replied quickly.

"Dad won't force you to tell me about your problems if you don't want to talk about them. Every household has its own problems. I hope you can finish it well. I really don't know where he is now. The last time she called me was 5 days ago" Claire's father continued.

Sean was still silent while pensive. "Claire wants a divorce with me. He sent a lawsuit to my office." Sean finally said honestly to his in-laws.

"What?? Divorce?" Claire's mother seemed very surprised to hear it, while Claire's father seemed to just sigh long.

"What's the reason for wanting to divorce you?" ask Claire's father with a calm face.

"I don't know. He didn't tell me why. Our relationship was okay before. We even went on a honeymoon, but suddenly she disappeared" Sean said with a face of dismay.

"That kid, really... What exactly was he thinking until he acted like this? Your marriage hasn't even been a year, but she's been asking for a divorce." Claire's mother seems to be getting upset about her daughter's behavior.

"Sean, Claire's mindset is immature. Please forgive him. Maybe it's dad's fault for forcing her to marry you so it's like this."

"really. He is unruly and a bit stubborn, but he is actually a good boy. So, please be patient."

"I understand, Mother." Sean turned to look at Claire's father, "Dad, can you help me find, Claire? I don't want to divorce her."

"alright. I'll send people to look for him."

"Thank you, Dad. Then, excuse me first" Sean said, standing up.

"Stay here. It's late" Claire's father said before Sean stepped in.

"really. Stay here. You can occupy the room, Claire."

Sean thought for a moment then nodded his head. "Thank you, Dad, Mom."

"Don't be that kind of a drag. We are family. This house is also your home. You've become part of our family too" Claire's father said with a smile.

"You wait here for a minute. I'm gonna have Aunt Dalia clean her room first."

Sean nodded. She did not expect that Claire's parents would welcome her warmly and not blame her at all.

After Claire's room is cleaned, Dalia's aunt takes Sean to Claire's room, while Kenz is escorted to the guest room.

"It turns out, it's your room" Sean said as he looked through Claire's room

Sean then walked towards the wall where some of Claire's photos appeared to be neatly displayed. Sean involuntarily smiled when he saw one of Claire's photos when she was a teenager. Claire's face looked very plain and sweet.

Satisfied at the picture of his wife, Sean walked towards the dresser. He took one of the perfumes that were there and sprayed it on the clothes he had taken earlier and then sipped the fragrance attached to the shirt.

"Although not too similar to the fragrance of your body, but this is enough to treat my longing."

Sean walked towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. His eyes were fixed on the little figura that was on the nightstand next to the bed. His hand reached out to take the figura and looked at it. It was a picture of Claire when she was wearing her doctor suit.

"My wife is beautiful."

Sean smiled foolishly, after which, climbed onto the bed and broke down his body then closed his eyes.

"Sean, are you going straight home after this?" Claire's father asked Sean after they finished breakfast.

"No Dad. There's still something I want to take care of here."

"Then you can stay for a few more days here" Claire's mother said with a happy face.

"Thank you, Mother."

"Don't hesitate, Sean. We told you, this is your house."

Finished talking to Claire's parents, Sean goes somewhere along with Kenz. "I didn't think you were going to my place, Mr. Sean Alexander Louris." Wild smiled faintly as he saw Sean enter his office room.

"Where are you hiding my wife?" Sean walked up to Wild, who was standing in front of the desk and grabbed his shirt collar with a flaming look.

Wild laughed mockingly at seeing Sean lose control. "Why are you asking me? You said she was your wife. Why look for him here?"

Sean grabbed Wild by the collar and said, "Where's my wife?" Sean asked again. His voice was full of emphasis and his gaze flashed.

"I don't know," Wild replied lightly with a smile.

"I know you had something to do with Claire's departure. I'll destroy you if you dare to take it from me."

Instead of being afraid, Wild smiled cynically. "You ignored it yourself. Why do you now blame others for your own mistakes?"

Sean frowned hearing Wild's words. "You have no right to interfere in my domestic affairs. I'm here to warn you, Mr. Wild Jeferson."

*******

Sean invites Kenz to speak in the back garden of Claire's house on the third day in town A. "Have you discovered Wild's weakness and his family's?" sean asked while standing facing the swimming pool.

"Here you go, Young Master."

"Then crush it to the root. There's nothing left. If you need help from Nicko. Don't let him get up again. I'm sure Claire will show up to see the destruction of her ex-lover in person."

"Sorry Young Master. Like you're gonna have to rethink this plan."

Sean looked back with an unhappy face. "Why?"

"I don't think Mr. Wild has anything to do with the young mistress' departure and her desire to get a divorce."

Hearing that, Sean immediately turned to face Kenz. "Why can you say that?"

"It seems to have something to do with Miss Casandra."

Sean's eyes were instantly rounded. "Casandra's? How come?"

"I think the reason the young lady asked for a divorce was because she knew that the Young Master had met Miss Casandra."

Sean was silent. "There's someone watching you. The man is from the city A. Looks like a man from the young mistress."

Sean closed his eyes for a moment then fell silent with an illegible expression for 5 seconds. "So, he left because of my mistake?"

Kenz did not answer and could only remain silent.

Seriate...
