CHAPTER 645: CHAPTER 645

Clara was enraged by his words, and snapped at him, "Why? Do you want me to cry and kneel at her feet? Should I go throw myself off a hill to make up for it?"

"That’s unnecessary, but you can’t just pretend like nothing happened," Ethan said seriously.

Everyone had been fussing over Shirley, and if Clara, the person who had caused the accident, didn’t seem concerned, people would surely gossip about her.

"Yeah, that’s not happening.Do something about it if you can’t accept it,"

Clara said smugly, then placed her book on her face and swayed on the hammock, shutting everything out.She might be rude, but she could not be polite to a pretentious diva like Shirley.

Shirley walked towards them, flanked by the others, and held Ethan’s hand intimately.

"Ethan, Miss Blackwell is sleeping.Let’s not disturb her.We’d better go back and rest.I said that I had forgiven her and that I don’t blame her for what happened.Let’s not dwell on that accident any longer."

Everyone would surely praise someone who said something so mature and noble.

Even though Ethan was good at identifying pretentious people, he felt that Shirley was just being considerate.His expression turned cold as he said to Clara, "Look at how generous she is.You should learn from her."

"Tsk!"

Clara was full of scorn as she rolled her eyes.

At that moment, they heard Adam’s excited voice.

"Ah, Santi, you’ll be here soon? I’m honored, really.Okay, I’ll come and pick you up now."

"Mr.Dalton is here?"

Clara perked up and immediately put away her book.She stood up, pushed Ethan and Shirley aside, and ran to Adam.

"Mr.Jiminez, what did you say? Is Mr.Dalton here?"

Clara’s eyes lit up as she asked excitedly.

"Yeah, he’s at the entrance of the village.Do you want to go pick him up with me?"

"Of course! I’ll drive us there in the pickup now!"

A pickup truck was necessary transportation for the people in the house to get to the entrance of the village.It could go through mud roads and help deliver luggage.

Although it was a bumpy ride, it was convenient.

Clara had only been there for a few days, but she was good at driving pickups now.She would take the wheel if they ever needed to go to the entrance of the village to buy ingredients.

Soon, the sound of an engine roaring could be heard, and Clara appeared, driving a pickup.She was wearing a straw hat, and stopped the car in front of Adam with a big grin.

"Mr.Jiminez, get in the car!"

Adam grabbed the side of the car and smoothly pulled himself into the vehicle.

Clara pressed on the pedal and was about to turn the pickup when Ethan suddenly said, "I want to go too."

Clara frowned.

"You don’t want to stay with your weak first love? Why do you want to go?"

"It’s none of your business,"

Ethan said abruptly, then leaped into the backseat of the pickup.

"You’re out of your mind!"

When Clara noticed how insistent he was, she gritted her teeth and said nothing, but her wild driving made it obvious that she was furious.

Ethan had quite a bumpy ride in the backseat.It was quite a challenge for him since he always rode in luxurious sports cars.

"Mr.Stuart, hold on tight.These mountain roads are rugged, so don’t fall out of the car!"

Adam yelled at Ethan as he gripped the car railing tightly.

Ethan was speechless.His thick dark hair had become messy because of the wind, and it made him look even more attractive.

"Who is Santiago?" Ethan finally asked Adam, unable to contain his curiosity.

"Santiago is an actor, Mr.Stuart, and a very good one at that.He keeps a low profile and only appears while shooting films, so it’s normal that you don’t know him," Adam said loudly over the roaring wind, grinning widely at Ethan.

"An actor?"

When Ethan heard that, he felt even more frustrated.

"How old is he? What does he look like? What kind of man is he?"

"I guess he’s two or three years younger than you.He’s very handsome, and was definitely born to be an actor.He’s a refined, melancholic Prince Charming.He’s very attractive, so he has a lot of loyal fans even though he keeps a low profile.Miss Blackwell is also a fan of his.She agreed to be our fixed guest just to shoot the show with him."

Adam enthusiastically chatted with Ethan, failing to notice his crestfallen expression.

Clara could not hear what they were talking about in the backseat because of the loud engine.

Suddenly, she stopped the car and got out quickly.

"The wildflowers by the road are so pretty.I want to pick some for Mr.Dalton.It’s the first time I’m meeting him, so I have to give him a gift."

While talking, Clara leaned down and started picking some of the colorful wildflowers by the road.

The wildflowers swayed in the wind under the bright sunlight, creating a very beautiful scene.

Ethan grew more upset, and growled at her, "Don’t you know that we can’t pick wildflowers by the road? What a terrible citizen."

Clara had picked a small bouquet, and used grass to tie them up carefully.

She glared at him and said, "Don’t you know that the more wildflowers you pick, the more will grow? It’s better to look ahead instead of fixating on a tree that yields no fruit.I can pick whatever flowers I want, and I’m in a great mood!"

Adam wiped away his sweat anxiously.

’l don’t think they’re talking about flowers anymore.."

Eventually, they reached the entrance of the village.

A tall man in a white shirt, sunglasses, and black trousers was standing quietly under a banyan tree.His features were charming and he exuded a melancholic aura.

When the breeze ruffled his hair, he looked like a model posing for a shot.

"Mister...Mr.Dalton!"

Clara stammered as she sat in the pickup, holding the bouquet of wildflowers.She did not dare to get out of the car.

Ethan had never seen such a shy look on her, so he was very jealous.

Scowling, he shouted at Santiago, "Hey, there’s a lovestruck fool waiting here for you!"

When Santiago heard Ethan, he looked over and smiled.He strode toward them, staring at Clara curiously.

"Oh, my! I’m so nervous!"

Clara’s heart was pounding, and she blushed, unable to look at him.
