Chapter 38 - Miss Kang (1/2)

The next day was a Saturday. Sara was to meet with Heya and Li Muchen at noon So she spent the entire morning cleaning the apartment with Joreen and Jianjun Wang. Since they were mostly chanced on Saturdays.

While cleaning her room, she accidentally knocked down a photo frame that was on her desk.

Thankfully, the glass frame did not break. She picked up the photo frame and caressed it for a while as she looked at the image of a pretty woman wearing an old-fashioned floral gown. It was an old picture And the woman looked to be in her early 20's. According to her father, this woman was Jin Helene. Her mother.

A year after Sara was born, she died. And years later, her father and her returned back to this City where he had been raised.

Severally, she had looked at this photo for long hours to find any resemblance between her and her mother. But she had come to the conclusion that she only inherited Jianjun Wang's features. Well, except her height. Maybe she could attribute that to Jin Helene since she was also not that tall.

”Mom, are you okay there? I hope you keep watching us everyday as usual” Sara said then positioned the frame back on the desk.

She turned to see Jianjun Wang standing by the open door, looking intently at the photo.

She followed his gaze and looked back at the photo frame as she asked softly.

”If there is a next life, would you still marry her?”

Jianjun Wang's eyes twitched a bit when he heard her question. He moved his eyes from the photo frame and looked at Sara. He was obviously in a melancholic mood.

She was curious to know about her Father's past. But as much as he was so sweet and caring, his past remained a mystery to her.

She only knew that Jin Helena fell ill and died. And her father didn't consider any other women since then.

”Miss Kang is here!” Joreen suddenly called from behind them.

Jianjun Wang's eyes widened when he heard her. He didn't even know when he ran inside Sara's room and locked the door behind him. Leaving Joreen outside the room.

”Go tell her I'm not home” he said softly to Sara.

Sara laughed as she watched his reaction.

”You know, Joreen must have told her you're around” Sara said.

”That little.....” He searched his brain for the right word to describe the little devil standing outside the door but he couldn't come up with anything. He really felt like squeezing the life out of that tiny girl.

”I said Miss Kang is here” Joreen repeated as she kept banging the door.

”Jo...Jo..Please tell her I'm not in” He pleaded.

”Pa, I already told her you are inside. Do you want me to be seen as a liar?” Joreen retorted through the closed door.

”Dad, just go out already. you know Miss Kang won't leave until she sees you. Except you want the both of us to be locked in here” Sara nudged him with a mocking laugh.

Jianjun Wang finally gathered his Wits and opened the door.
