Chapter 231 - More than a friend

Clara was dressed in a black pants trouser and small tank top, while Sonya was putting on a pink short gown.

Her hair is tied in a pig tail, while Clara's hair remains bald without any sign that it has ever grown hair.

Out of respect for her shield, she decided not to wear a wig. She uses a scarf when going out and that's all.

She still looks so beautiful and breathtaking as usual.

Sonya had even asked her why she isn't doing anything about her hair.

She replied to her that she's honouring her lost shield, that it will grow back after she returns to the ancestors' realm and get cleared of the guardian's role.

She would have to sedate herself or get knocked out somehow to appear there.

Once she stepped into the ancestor's realm, that would be the last day she would be a guardian. She can finally become a normal human and be free.

She won't have any power and won't be able to visit the ancestors realm ever again. After that happens, Belle will also become a human and there won't be any burden on their shoulders anymore.

For now, she is just a victorious guardian, who lost her shield in battle.

Sonya looked around the big mansion, her eyes glowing. She suddenly stood in front of Clara and crossed her arms across her chest.

"Now that you are going to be the lady of the mansion, please give me a tour around. We were never allowed to explore this beauty because that old man has his eyes everywhere arrrgh." She sighed, remembering how Mick monitored all the workers then.

The man was very strict and would at times popped up behind them, scaring the hell out of them.

Even if you weren't doing anything bad, the way he looks at you would make you feel awkward and even searched yourself to confirm if you did something or not.

Sonya shook her shoulders, but now her friend is the girlfriend of the owner. 

She giggled and patted Clara's arm, "I wanna explore it now that it's my friend's boyfriend's property. There's a big pool at the back and a small garden with lots of flowers. We were only allowed to see, now I can touch." Sonya said, spreading her arm and turning around happily. 

Clara still felt awkward, and she couldn't act natural.

She wanted to laugh and scold her not to jump into conclusion about the lady of the house stuff and a lot of teasing and many more, but she only ended up smiling at her and told her she could tour around as she wished

"Be the guide, woman." She rolled her eyes at her.

"OK, let's go see the pool and garden first." Clara said and they began walking away.

"What's up with you?" Sonya asked as they walked toward the back of the mansion.

It's a long walk away, so she wanted to use the opportunity to talk some sense into her.

"What?" Clara asked in confusion.

"What's with the stiffness?" Sonya asked 

Clara remained silent.

"When did you become someone who talks less? Did you want us to get back together and make it up for each other, by trusting each other now or you plan to keep acting awkward and stuff, bringing back the memories.

I tried to cheer you up and let you know that I've let go, but you're still plastering that guilt on your expression." She said and Clara swallowed hard on her saliva.

"I caused all this. I hurt you." She said and, "ow!" She exclaimed as Sonya hit her shoulder.

It wasn't supposed to hurt, since she's human but it did. Clara wondered if it was because she had won the battle and didn't dwell much on the thought.

"You did hurt me, but not by taking the memory. It was because you chose to suffer alone. Did I mention anything about demons to you?

That could have happened to anyone. If I don't know you at all, I could still fall as a victim, so don't think it's your fault. Next time, don't make such a decision, because I'm willing to go through hell with you.

I prefer to die fighting for you, than to stay protected. It was hard but you met your love.

You meet a good man and I'm happy for you. I must admit that I was pissed, but that's all gone now. 

You act weird with me again and watch how I punch you silly." Sonya threatened.

Clara laughed and suddenly hugged her. She smiled and hugged her back.

"Mommy!" The little princess screamed from afar, making them free each other and sprinted toward Clara.

She hugged her tightly.

This is unlikely.

Clara raised her brow at her, "Why do I feel like this is fake?" She asked.

Of course it is overreacting.

She wanted to distract Clara, so that she wouldn't notice Mick is busy with her assignment and took her iPad away.

That was Leo's order.

She just came out to stop disturbing the man with the sound from the cartoon, when she saw Clara.

"Common Clara, you are so harsh, how can you say that to her." Sonya said and spread her arm to receive a hug as well.

'Phew!' The little princess exclaimed in her mind, because she had no idea how to reply to Clara.

"Aunty!" She exclaimed and also gave Sonya a hug as well.

"Sounds more fake to me." Clara commented, but they ignored her.

"You look beautiful." Sonya complimented.

The little princess blushes and smoothes her hair with her palm, "I do?" She asked.

"Yes, very! Your outfit is cute just like you are. Any special occasion? I want to tag along." Sonya teased.

"Well, daddy said he is coming home with my.." she moved closer and whispered into Sonya's ear, "that person I told you about that day. Well, he's coming here today." She whispered into her ear.

She was informed that Tim would be coming home with Leo today, since he just visited Leo at his office after a long while and both decided to bring the hookup to his home.
