Dusk In Moorea

HR#82

After a call from Duke Xander, Claire returns to the hospital. The girl was already impatient to ask about her wedding party that she should have a title tomorrow. Claire doesn't want her marriage to be void because of this incident.

Arriving at the hospital, Claire immediately walked in a hurry with being escorted by two bodyguards who were always on guard around her. Both have a duty to keep away the people and fans who are considered to be annoying their Young Miss.

Claire tapped softly on Leon's nursery before entering the room. Duke Xander was drinking tea with Zack. Claire immediately looked in dislike towards Zack while the young man looked indifferent to Claire's arrival.

"Come in, Jane !" pinta Duke Xander's.

"Okay, Uncle !" replied Claire who immediately carried out Duke Xander's orders with a smile as sweet as honey.

"How's Leon doing ?" Claire approached Leon and stroked her future husband's brunette mane so gently.

"It's stable, '" Duke Xander replied briefly.

"Then, why is he still unconscious as well, Uncle ?" Claire looked at Duke Xander.

"He was conscious. It's just that, he was probably exhausted so fell asleep again. Let it go ! Don't bother."

Duke Xander's warning in the cold man's last sentence abruptly canceled Claire's hand that intended to pat Leon's cheek. With a slightly unpleasant feeling, Claire distanced her outstretched hand.

Zack smiled mockingly. While Duke Xander still casually sip tea made by Ronald who is always in accordance with his taste. Despite being aware that there was an aura of hostility between Zack and Claire, Duke Xander chose not to care.

"Come here, Jane ! Sit next to Zack !" call Duke Xander again.

Taking a deep breath, Claire finally inevitably sat side by side with Zack. Highlight his cynical eyes, staring in dislike at Zack who was beside him. Zack doesn't care. The young man continued to enjoy his tea in silence. Fuck the shitty girl next to him.

"There's something I have to tell you in person !" duke Xander said that started the topic of serious conversation.

"What, Uncle ?" ask Claire excitedly.

Duke Xander sighed. "It seems, your marriage and Leon should be on leave for a time that can not be determined," said Duke Xander.

"What ? How could that happen, Uncle ? What do people say later ?" shouted Claire protest.

"I'm sorry ! This is all beyond my wishes !" duke Xander is sorry.

"Invitation has been spread, Uncle ! The reporters also knew about this. What should I tell people ?"

"Just calm down ! My lawyer has handled the matter with both of your parents ! You don't have to worry." Duke Xander again sipped his tea casually as if nothing had happened.

"But I still can't take it !" sahut Claire with a huff.

Duke Xander stared intently at Claire. "You have to keep it up, Jane ! You know for yourself that Leon just finished surgery. He still needs a lot of time to recover."

"Uncle !"

"Take it or leave it." Duke Xander has issued his absolute decree. It's up to Claire to take which path. Accept Duke Xander's decision, or leave everything behind.

Claire's face looks very tangled after hearing Duke Xander's decision. He really did not expect that this could happen when the day he had Leon was completely within hours. Why did Claire's fate get this session ? In fact, when Arumi was no longer there, his steps still faltered and could never run smoothly to get Leon.

When Leon awakens from his nap, Claire's face is the first thing he sees. The unraveling young man blinked. Hoping that his vision may not be too keen in recognizing someone. For whatever sake, seeing Claire's face for now was much more frustrating than having nightmares at night.

"Are you awake, honey ?" Claire's soft voice eventually becomes the key for Leon to realize that what he sees is not imagination alone. Everything was completely real and his eyes were completely unproblematic. Claire is here.

"Why are you here ?" ask Leon cynically. He turned his face the other way. Reluctant to look at the face of a devious woman who is the cause of her true lover must go.

"To see the state of my future husband !" answer Claire sumringah.

Leon clucked annoyed at Claire's words. The young man looked so disgusted when Claire's sweet mouth called him a 'prospective husband'.

"I told you that I don't want to marry you !" hiss Leon with a weak tone yet still sounded sharp in Claire's sense of hearing.

"Leon ! Can't you just give up and accept this matchmaking ?"

"No," Leon's bells firmly.

Claire's jaw started to tighten. He did not understand why Leon did not like it. What is less than Claire ? A top celebrity with a beautiful body shape and face. Male models and actors fight over him almost every day. But why ? Why did Leon like him ? Why should his heart keep the taste in that young man alone ? A man who even glanced at him as if he didn't want to.

"Time to eat !" Zack enters with a nurse who brings food to Leon.

"Let me feed her" Claire said, standing up and taking the food the nurse had brought. The Sister immediately gave the food in a friendly manner. While Zack looks very unhappy at the behavior of the woman.

Claire sat back in her place. While Zack chose to sit on the sofa while opening a business magazine.

"Can you leave us both, Zack ?" scold Claire who realizes that Zack is not out of the room and instead sits comfortably on the sofa behind Claire.

Zack looked up again when he heard his name mentioned by Claire.

"If you want to talk, just talk. Assume I'm not in this room" Zack casually replied. The young man was still busy reading the magazine he picked up.

"Please, Zack ! It's privacy !" said Claire.

"Let Zack stay here" Leon interjected. Claire then looked back at Leon in disbelief.

"There's no secret between me and Zack ! So, it doesn't matter if Zack wants to stay here or not" Leon broke up firmly.

"You heard it yourself, didn't you ?" Zack glanced with a satisfied smile. Seeing Claire's reddened face because it harbored an increasingly piled up annoyance made Zack look very happy.

"All right ! If that's what you want," Claire nodded.

"Then, let's eat !" Claire directs a spoonful of food into Leon's mouth.

PRANGS !

The spoon with the bowl had already fallen to the floor. The ceramic bowl broke so that Zack and Claire were surprised not playing.

"I don't want to eat !" said Leon sharply.
