Laura went on praising Andre. Clara replied perfunctorily. The two looked like good friends chatting happily.
When Andre came, he was startled by the picture in front of him. He didn't expect Clara to be with Laura. He thought she was alone in the orphanage.
He couldn't believe his eyes. Why were these two women who hate each other chatting happily?
Imagining himself and Horace smiling at each other like friends, Andre shivered. He shook his head to get this out of his mind. It was a terrible picture. He didn't think he and Horace would ever get along.
Andre thought it was funny, so he stood in the doorway with interest and watched for a while. He once mentioned to Laura that Clara was very aloof and that he was afraid it wouldn't be easy to chase her.
Laura looked disdainful, "That woman? Be confidence. She is simple-minded and very deceitful."
But looking at this scene now, and thinking of Clara's vicious appearance when she mentioned Laura in front of him, he felt that Clara was the cat, and Laura was the mouse that was being played.
Enough watching, Andre walked into the orphanage.
Before he could say hello, Laura saw him and greeted him with a smile, "You're so fast when picking up someone you like. You've never been so fast when you pick me up."
Andre followed suit, "Mrs. Hutchinson, you must be joking. I never slacken off when you needed me."
"Well, you must have something to do tell Clara. I won't bother you guys, I'll leave now."
Laura waved her hand, then turned her wheelchair and prepared to leave.
"I just came, and you're leaving, don't you want to see me?" Andre joked as he stepped forward to help push Laura's wheelchair.
"Come on, I wanted to make room for you guys." Laura smiled and scolded, then glanced at Clara and said, "And Horace is still at home waiting for me. If I go back late, he will be hungry, so I have to go back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Laura secretly observed Clara's look. But Clara looked indifferent as if she didn't hear her words.
Clara must have fallen in love with Andre, so she no longer cared about Horace. Thinking of this, Laura should have been happy, but there was some unspeakable disappointment in her heart.
After helping to get Laura to the car, Andre said "bye" to the departing car, then turned back to Clara.
"Shall we go too?" Andre inquired.
"Okay." Expressionlessly nodding, Clara followed Andre into his car.
"What's it" After sitting down, Clara looked at Andre and asked.
"But you're wasting my time. I am busy. I don't want to play this boring trick with you." Not knowing what Andre was thinking, Clara said somewhat ruthlessly.
Andre felt a sudden pain in the heart, it turned out that heart really hurt, it turned out that meeting him was a waste of time, He knew it now.
"Clara, I shouldn't have helped Laura set you up in the beginning, I apologize to you now. Sorry, I hope you forgive me." Andre spoke in a pious tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Andre suddenly apologized to himself so seriously, Clara was kind of stunned.
"I won't take Laura's side anymore. Can I be your friend? Andre looked at Clara. He didn't have much confidence. Would she forgive him?
He was not sure. He was getting more nervous. He was afraid.
Thinking about Andre's words repeatedly, Clara didn't know whether she should believe them or not. Maybe it was Laura's new trick.
"Okay." Clara finally nodded. Perhaps it was the sincerity in Andre's eyes that touched her, or perhaps it was her willingness to believe in the bright side of human nature.
Yet she kept her vigilance. She must be very careful.
