NovelEnglishChapter 29 Sersuddenly felt strangely uneasy at the sight of his lone hand.
After a long time, Maeve finally asked, “What are you doing here?"" "You knew that you would get bullied if you calone. Why did you do it anyway?" Marve paused. "I asked you to come.
Serpressed his lips into a line. "It's Clara's birthday today. I still need to stop by." "Clara's birthday?" Maeve was taken aback. “Then what are you doing here?" Seralways placed Clara on a pedestal above everyone else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe couldn't help but frown at Maeve's tone of disbelief. “This family gathering is important to maintaining the relationship between the Scott family and the Brooks family. I know my priorities." "Liar," Maeve mumbled.
Serdidn't hear her clearly. "What did you say?" Maeve fell silent. She remembered how Serknew about the family gathering in her last life too, but he didn't show up then even though he knew she would get pestered and jabbed by Sharon and other unreasonable relatives. He hadn't even bothered to give her an excuse back then.
"I said, is it okay for you not to spend Clara's birthday with her? It's such an important day," "I don't need you to remindabout that." Sergio's tone softened when he spoke about Clara. "She's an orphan, so she grew up being reasonable and obedient. Once she heard about the Scott family gathering, she calledand toldto deal with this first. I also told her that I'd go spend her birthday with her once this was over." Seronly realized how inappropriate his words were after they left his mouth.
Maeve felt her eyes sting with tears as she scoffed at herself Inwardly.
So Clara was an orphan. What about Marve? No matter what, Serwould always have different standards for her and Clara.
"Whatever, I'm going home." She turned around and opened her car door, Perhaps because he knew he had hurt her feelings, Serreached out and held onto Maeve's hand. In a low voice, he said, "Clara overthinks easily. I've been spending her birthdays with her as a family for the past few years. If 1 stop showing up this year after getting married, she's going to overthink." Serseemed to put special emphasis on the word "family".
Maeve swung his hand away. "That has nothing to do with me. Go spend twith her. She's been alone since she was a kid, so she probably misses you even more on an important day like her birthday." Serthought Maeve would have been angry, but when he heard her genuinely wanting him to go meet Clara, he couldn't help but feel a heavy feeling in his chest.
Once Maeve left, Larry could tell that Serwasn't in the best mood. He was forced to remind his boss, “Mr. Brooks, Ms. Stewart is still waiting for you at the hotel." "Okay."

She purposely turned the lights down just a bit so that the house was lit dimly and romantically it made the atmosphere much more romantic than usual. She also purposely dressed more sexily and maturely than she usually did. After seeing Marve in that seductive, long dress that showed off her figure perfectly back then, Clara had realized the difference between them.
Seralways treated her like a little girl, and he rarely ever saw her as a woman.
She had to grab the opportunity that night to show him her true feelings Suddenly, the room door opened, and Clara felt her heart beating faster. X
