99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 52

In the afternoon, Clara didn’t know what to do. All-day she only invites Frederika to play and take a nap, while Patricia as the real mother has gone somewhere and has not yet returned. Nathan didn’t even call her anymore, even though she had reactivated her phone.

“Mom, I want to go to the park!” said Frederica, looking up at Clara sitting on the park bench beside the house.

“Honey, we just play here. After all, it’s going to be dark soon, we won’t be satisfied playing in the city park,” said a voice that looked fresh wearing a long yellowish-white dress, combined with a dark blue blazer and pinned some of her hair back.

“But I’ve never been to a city park, there must be a lot of friends, while here I’m alone, right,” said Frederica, bending her face.

Clara sighed, then bent slightly to face Frederica. “Sweetie, we can’t just go haphazardly..later if daddy gets angry, it will be a problem.”

“Huh, I don’t like here, I prefer grandma’s mansion!”

Frederica suddenly got angry and hit Clara’s thigh, after that she ran into the mansion followed by her Nanny who always followed her wherever she went.

“Why … why does being rich even make someone feel like a prisoner?” Clara exhaled roughly, then chose to lean on the shoulder of the chair while playing with her phone.

Clara opened her social media account and started looking for Michael’s account. After finding the account to be her lover, she did not find new posts. However, she saw that all the previous posts just got likes from Mia. However, the likes are specifically for photos of Michael alone, while the photos with her have no likes from her at all.

“Could she take Michael away from me? But … Michael still wants to be with me and he’s stressed because he wants me to wake up again. Hopefully, he’s always patiently waiting for me …” Clara monologued with herself, then sighed her breath hitched. “But I don’t know if I can return to my body or not… Things like this torment me… I’m like a war without knowing what I’ll get when I win, I’m like playing a game without knowing whether I’ll be happy when I win. Oh my god…please give strength to my heart…”

Drett … drett …

Suddenly her phone rang because there was an incoming call from Fabrizio which she saved with the contact name “Fabriana” because she didn’t want Nathan to think she was cheating on her. The woman immediately answered the call in a rather low voice.

“Hello,” said Clara.

“Ma’am, I’ve managed to get Paulina out of jail on one condition. So you don’t have to worry anymore,” Fabrizio said over the phone.

“Thanks for that,” Clara said with relief.

“But she is free on condition and this also takes time. If within two weeks I have not been able to find evidence that she was just slandered, she will be back in jail.”

“Then you should….

You have to prioritize that case before Casey’s accident case,” said Clara who didn’t want to be selfish.

“You don’t have to worry, ma’am. I think I can handle all this as long as no one knows our movements,” said Fabrizio, sounding calm.

Clara was silent, glancing at several sides of the mansion where it was always guarded by bodyguards. It made her uncomfortable and felt she had to be more careful when talking to Fabrizio.

“Ma’am,” called Fabrizio.

“We’ll talk later…because I was next to the house being watched by a bodyguard … They wanted to take care of me but they always seemed to be watching me like I was a criminal,” Clara said in a whisper.

“Okay then, let’s talk another time because I just wanted to let you know about Paulina.”

“Okay.”

The phone connection is disconnected. Clara immediately put her phone in her blazer pocket, then got up from the chair. She walked into the mansion thinking about what she should do now, as her brain was filled with cases. She doesn’t know which case to focus on, while romance problems also disturb her mind.

Elsewhere, Mia is bored at home. The girl who wore white thigh-length shorts combined with a black tight t-shirt was in the living room on the couch, feeling bored of constantly playing with her phone while all she wanted was a call from Michael. but Michael didn’t call her at all, making her even more annoyed and feeling like she had made a mistake.

‘I should have stayed with him yesterday, making him more comfortable around me,’ she thought with annoyance.

“Mia,” called Julia, who had just come out of Casey’s room with a medium-sized stainless steel container.

“Yes,” said Mia lazily.

“Please help the nurse to change Casey’s clothes. Mommy has to go to the bathroom now,” said Julia.

Mia rolled her eyes, turning her face away from Julia. “That nurse is trained to care for people like Casey. She doesn’t need our help!”

“Yes but it’s better for you to help her than to relax like this. She won’t refuse if you help her either.”

“I do not want to!” Mia said firmly then stood up. “Mommy saw my feet are also very sore. So I can’t help just take care of Casey!” She continued firmly.

Julia sighed, looking at Mia who was now walking with a bit of a limp towards the exit of the house. The woman who wore gray casual pants combined with a black top and let her hair down just like that was trying to be patient to face her daughter who always envied and hated Casey.

“Oh my God, forgive my daughter because she wasn’t nice to Casey, who was an orphan since she was little,” she thought and then walked into the kitchen a bit hastily. Hmm, it seems that the house is the only one that is good to Casey.

At the office, Nathan was done with his work. but he didn’t go home right away but sat relaxed in his oversized chair while looking at his phone which showed a portrait of himself together with Clara who looked so happy smiling at the camera wearing a white suit with a beach background. Yeah, that’s a photo of them doing their pre-wedding.

“Clara… I don’t know what happened to you, but after that poisoning incident, you changed 180 degrees. Even today my heart hurts a lot because you didn’t support me and were always angry…” Nathan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

“Even you prefer to be quiet than talk to me. It’s different from the old you… I feel like I’ve always been with you but it’s not like you.” It didn’t feel like his tears just dripped … Yeah … Nathan was so sad that he cried. “I don’t know what I have to do to make you back to the way you were before… Even last night’s date felt completely different. I thought it could bring you back to the way you were before but it’s not at all… I riss you…really miss!”

Not knowing what to do, because he didn’t want to meet Clara who might only put on a sour face in front of him, Nathan chose to go for entertainment alone without being accompanied by a bodyguard or driver.
