CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 491

When Clara arrived home, she found Tomas stayed at home.

He sat on the couch, looking at Clara, “Didn’t you have dinner?”

“I had,” Clara put her handbag down, sat on the couch, and stretched lazily, “As soon as I’d finished eating, I went home.”

Tomas looked at her, “Didn’t you have Japanese cuisine?”

“Oh,” Clara answered, “No, I didn’t. I asked Marshall before I had dinner. Marshall and his friends did not want to go there, so we had dinner together at the original place.

Clara pretended like she could not understand what Tomas implied, “What’s the matter? Is it a wrenching problem?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Tomas said. Then he stopped talking.

Reclining on the couch, Clara looked as if she got a little bit tired out.

Tomas looked at her and said, “If you feel tired, to have a rest. It’s been a busy day for you.”

“Yep,” Clara answered and stood up.

Before she reached the stairs, Jakub returned home. It seemed that he was not in a good state. He threw his schoolbag on the couch as soon as he came into the living room.

Clara stopped walking, “What’s up, Jakub?”

“Annoying,” Jakub said and collapsed into the couch.

It seemed that Tomas knew what had happened to Jakub. He turned around and looked at Jakub, “Are you tired? If you feel tired, go upstairs to have a rest first.”

Jakub was nearly seventeen years old, and it seemed that he developed a sense of rebellion.

“No, I won’t take a rest. I will not finish my homework if I take a rest, and I will be scolded by you afterwards.”

Tomas frowned, “Why I scolded you was all because you are lack of the desire to advance. Although your sister and I are in control of the business now, you should know that the company will be handed over to you. The future of our business will depend on you.”

Jakub seemed unwilling to listen to what Tomas talked about. He snorted, “Why should you rely on me? If I refuse to take over the company, will it collapse?”

“Nonsense,” Tomas jumped to his feet.

Jakub stood up, without making a concession. “Don’t you remember that you have said that Clara will have a very capable husband and you will let the couple to support me? Since the man is very capable, wouldn’t it be better handing over the company to them? I don’t want to inherit the business at all. I haven’t finished my projects at school yet. However, I have to listen carefully to your recount about the state of operations of your company every day! I even cannot have a holiday. While other students taking vacations, I spent all my time on extra tutoring.”

When he finished the argument, Jakub panted and said, “I am not happy at all. Keep the company as yours. I don’t want it. I shall never think about to own it.”

With silent lips, Clara intended to calm Jakub down. Nevertheless, she did nothing when she heard his words.

She understood it so well that Jakub was tired indeed. He was even more tired than her.

Adults could have their own space. By contrast, Jakub had a very busy schedule made by Tomas.

Tomas raged at Jakub. To her memory, Clara had never seen Tomas lost his temper before. To her surprise, Tomas gave Jakub a slap right away and shouted, “That’s complete and utter nonsense. How dare you?”

Jakub’s head was deflected by the slap. Jakub was terrified and hurried up to persuade Tomas, “What are you doing, dad?”

Tomas looked at Jakub, without cooling down. “Go upstairs. You’ll know what will happen if you say you don’t want to inherit the business again.”

Clara pulled Jakub along, “Let’s go upstairs, Jakub. Aren’t you tired? Let’s go upstairs to have a good rest.”

Slowly, Jakub looked up. He stared at Tomas for a while and then he followed Clara to go upstairs.

Clara took Jakub to the room. She wanted to let him to have a good relax.

But she did not know how to comfort Jakub.

She had experienced the hard time when she was at the same age as Jakub.

She knew he had to study hard every day as she did in the past.

Born in a family like theirs meant Jakub and she needed to take on much responsibility other than just enjoy a rich life.

Jakub would work for Henderson’s company in the future, so there were so many things for him to learn.

Clara looked at him, “Jacub, I know it isn’t easy for you. But we cannot change it. You’ll be fine after you cope with it.”

Sitting on the bed, Jacub did not reply.

Clara thought it over and turned on her heel to leave the room. When she was at the door, Jakub called, “Clara.”

“Uh,” Clara answered, “What’s up?”

Jakub looked up at her, “Do you feel happy to live here?”
