Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

Inside the car.

When Clara kept on sobbing, Sam took out his handkerchief and gave it to her. "Are you crying because you don't know how to face your husband or because you are worried what will happen when this news is all over the place tomorrow?"

Without waiting for her reply, Sam added, "If you are worried about your husband then don't worry about that because that bastard is already cheating on you."

When Clara did not say anything, he continued, "I saw him leaving the hall in a haste so I asked someone to follow him. He is in PAN PACIFIC HOTEL in room number 701 with some woman." Letting out a mocking chuckle, Sam said, "So you chose a cheater over my loyal brother. You broke Ben's heart, ruined his entire life and now you are unhappy as well."

Looking at her calm expression, Sam frowned deeper, "So you knew about it earlier? What the hell is wrong with you Clara? Why are you forcing yourself to be in this relationship?"

Stopping the car midway, Sam took a deep breath and said, "Look, I know you for years now Clara and what you did with Ben, I still find it very strange. You love Ben as much as he does so why would you do this? Why are you doing this to yourself? Philip is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g cheater so why would you stay with him? Ben is still willing to be with you and I know you want that too so why don't you just divorce him and be with him?"

"It's not as easy as you think Sam, everything is so complicated."

"We can find a way out right? Ben will help you out and I am there too. You don't have to worry about anything. And what is so complicated that you can't solve? Tell me."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she wiped her tears away, "It's not just Philip Sam, it's my family."

Sam frowned and asked, "What about your family?"

"They—" Just then a phone call interrupted them. Looking at the caller ID, Clara's face turned pale.

"What happened?"

"Sam, we need to go. I need to go home now."

"But—"

"Please Sam, drop me home."

Without saying anything, Sam started the engine and drove away.

…..

Li Mansion.

"Did you know about this?" Rose asked Nuan who chose to stay shut. He roughly knew what had happened between Clara and Ben as he had overheard his brothers discussing it in the office.

"Honey calm down."

"How can I calm down Quin? Do you have any idea what your son did? That girl is married."

"Aunt Rose, I think we should let big brother Ben explain the entire situation first." Yumi said.

"But—"

"Where is Ben?" Singtan asked.

"Garden." Zian said.

Singtan was about to leave when Ming grabbed his hand.

"What is it honey?" Singtan asked before wrapping his arms around her waist.

Running her fingers through his collar, Ming said, "He is very stressed so don't be rude okay? Don't scold him. Remember that Ben needs our help and we gotta find a way to make our boy happy."

Pressing his lips on her forehead, Singtan nodded his head before leaving.

…..

Garden.

Sitting on the grass with his legs crossed, Ben was pulling out the grass and tossing it aside. No matter what he did, he couldn't take Clara out of his head.

"You know when your aunt Ming almost married someone else, I was devastated too. It felt awful and I ended up locking myself inside my office and refused to meet anyone. Well, at least you are calm enough while dealing with all of this." Sitting down beside him, Singtan added, "In life, you can't have everything that you want to. You have to let go a couple of things and that is how life works."

"She was meant to be mine. We love each other."

"Well, life can be unfair at times but that doesn't mean you can get carried away Ben. I know how it feels when you see the woman you love with someone else, it feels terrible." Singtan added.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Ben asked, "What did you do back then uncle Singtan? I mean when you saw aunt Ming with some other man?"

"Nothing, I mean what could I possibly do? I just sat back and blamed myself but it's different for you son. " Pausing for a while, Singtan added, "Your aunt had no feelings for me in the past so I was helpless but it's not the same for you and—"

"Clara."

"Hmm so it's not the same for you and Clara. You both had a thing but your aunt and I never had anything between us in the past. Now like you said and from what I saw, I think she still feels for you."

"I know right? Uncle Singtan I know that she does and I have told her this multiple times that if she wants, I can fix everything and we can get back together but she doesn't want to."

"And why?"

Ben sighed and helplessly shook his head, "I don't know. I did try asking her but she won't tell me."

"Then find out the truth. Always remember that a coin has two sides. Sometimes, what you see and others want to show you isn't the complete truth. If she still loves but is willing to suffer instead of being with you, there has to be something that is stopping her and it is your duty to find out what it is." Singtan added.

"I did try but—"

"Then try harder, you are a Li and we don't give up easily." Patting his back, Singtan smiled, "Find out the truth first and then come to me, I know a very good divorce lawyer."

…..

Living room.

"So big brother Ben is not into men?" Yushen asked.

Smacking his brother's head, Zian frowned, "Don't joke Yushen."

"Ouch…hmm I was just asking."

"Nuan, do you know anything else?" Yumi asked.

Nuan shook his head and explained, "Brother Sam knows everything."
