"What do you mean?" A trace of panic flashed on Clara's face, "Didn't I tell you that your dad has already passed away."
"You lied to me!" Neo had temper tantrums, "I already know that Horace is my dad and he is not dead!"
"Who told you that?" Clara never expected that Neo knew the relationship between them.
"Nobody. I guessed it myself." Neo looked at Clara with begging eyes, "Mom, why are you and dad separated? You guys should make up. I want my dad."
Hearing Neo's words, Clara only felt her heart was aching.
This is the first time that Neo has made such a request to her in so many years, but she can't promise him. They could never go back to the past.
"Neo, I'm sorry. it's my fault." Clara cried while hugging Neo. She had given all her love to him, but she still did not make up for the fatherly love he was missing. "I didn't give you a complete family. Please don't be angry with me, okay?" She was sobbing.
"Well, I won't say that again. Mom, don't cry." Neo stopped talking about Horace and wiped her tears with soft hands.
Clara felt even more guilty in her heart. But she could only hold him in her arms and kept saying sorry to him.
Logan, who was standing beside them, sighed, squatted down, and hugged them both, giving them silent comfort.
Several days have passed since Neo went to find Horace, but Clara still hadn't been out of the sadness at that time.
She kept asking herself, is it a correct decision to hide Horace from Neo like this? She can also see that Neo has been unhappy for the past two days. He was no longer as lively and playful as before.
Now that Neo already knows that Horace is his dad, should she go and make it clear to Horace? After all, she has no right to deprive them of the opportunity to meet.
But she was frightened. With his resources and power, if he knew that Neo was his child, he would take him away.
No! She could not lose him! She will never let Laura be his stepmother! But Neo also needs a dad...
When Clara was troubled by this problem and didn't know what to do, she unexpectedly received a call from Laura.
"Hello, Clara, I want to invite you out to watch the opera today, are you available?"
Clara subconsciously wanted to refuse directly. She was not in the mood to go to the opera now, let alone with Laura. But she was afraid that Laura was scheming against them.
"Okay, I'm free today."
Hearing Clara's indifferent voice over the phone, Laura clenched the phone tightly, showing hatred on her face, but her voice was still sweet. "Okay, then let's meet at the coffee shop five years ago, at two o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Okay." Then Clara hung up the phone and sneered.
She turned her head to look and she was amazed by what she saw. Is this Clara?
The woman in front of her wearing a green tie-waist knee-length dress, which made her skin whiter than snow, with sexy curves. The calf exposed under the skirt is slender without a shred of fat.
And her face is more eye-catching than her figure. Delicate makeup and long curly hair make people unable to take their eyes off.
What is even more amazing is the slight detachedness exuding from her body, giving people the feeling of "a lotus flower that can be seen from a distance but not to be touched".
Seeing the gazes of the people around her and Laura's slightly open mouth, Clara felt that the scene from five years ago had reappeared, but this time they had switched roles.
However, this is exactly what she wanted. She wanted Laura to realize that she was no longer the girl that she was five years ago, and what she did to her in the past will be returned accordingly in the future.
"You came here so early." She walked directly to Laura and sat down and then greeted her warmly.
The astonishment in Laura's eyes disappeared, replaced by sinister and viciousness. Clenching her hand tightly, Laura made herself smile.
"Yeah, I'm not busy anyway, so I came a little early. The scenery here is not bad and it's not boring to wait a little longer." Laura said meaningfully.
"Well." Clara simply replied without saying anything more.
