Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 597 Chapter 597 43% After saying these last few words, Claire didn't dare to look directly at the man in front of her. After all, she felt completely guilty about this matter and was very ashamed.

Arthur, who was sitting on the sofa to Claire's side, watched as she lowered her head. He sat up straight again. Leaning forward slightly, resting his hands on his thighs, and moving a little closer to Claire. "So, you cto seetoday mainly to apologize for what happened back then?" Claire kept her head down and nodded solemnly. "That's one reason, and of course the most important one. There's a second reason." She said, slowly raising her head, "but let's resolve the first one now." Suddenly, Claire's voice changed. "Oh my god, why are you so close toall of a sudden? Are you deaf and need to ccloser to hearing?" she exclaimed, startled..

Arthur had indeed moved closer to her, but not by much. Claire was just not used to it.

However, Arthur showed no sign of moving back when he heard Claire's exclamation. He remained in his current posture. "You were speaking with your head down, so it was a little hard to hear. Why is your face so red? You don't have a fever, do you?" As he spoke, he reached out a hand as if to feel Claire's forehead.

Claire reacted quickly. She cupped her face in her hands and scooted her seat twice to the right. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I don't have a fever. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jarrett," she said as she moved.

Arthur returned to his original posture. "Well, that's good to hear. Don't stay out too late. My son will blme if I don't take good care of you, and that wouldn't be good." Claire also agreed, "Mr. Jarrett, after hearing what I just said, I wonder if you can forgive my foolish actions.

"If you need compensation, just say the word. With your power and status, you probably don't care much about it.

"But as long as you say it, I, Claire, will do my best to fulfill the compensation. What do you think?" Arthur laughed directly at her words, a very frank laugh. "Actually, this matter doesn't require an apology. After all, I'm a man, and this kind of thing wouldn't be a loss for me.

"And in that situation at the time, you were just acting out of desperation. But since you've apologized, I'll accept it. "It's just compensation, and I can't think of what I need right now. After all, I lack nothing." Claire nodded. She thought, 'How could the man in front of her be short of anything?' But if she didn't compensate him for something, she felt that she couldn't get over it. "Then, when Mr. Jarrett remembers, please be sure to tell me." Arthur said, "Of course, then please save my phone number, Ms. Claire. When I remember what I need, I will definitely let you know. Here, after all that talking, you must be thirsty. Have another cup of tea." Claire smiled faintly. It was strange to say, but after being here for a short time, the man in front of her had noticed her thirst several times. She picked up the teacup without hesitation and slowly drank it all down, mouthful by mouthful.

Arthur watched her finish her tea. "So, now that the apology is over, what's the second matter?" 1/2 43%2 7 16:08 Mon, 24 Feb Chapter 597 +5 When na ntioning the second matter, Claire subtly inched closer to Arthur. "You already know about Hank's identity. He is indeed your biological son, conceived during that tin Astamia.

"Your mother has already spoken to me. She and Mr. Lucas Jarrett are at that age where they wish to experience the joy of having grandchildren around.

"I never intended to keep Hank all to myself. It's best for children to have their own thoughts and I won't restrain him. Therefore, I'd like to discuss with you whether Hank needs to." "What does the child himself think?" Arthur asked as soon as Claire finished.

Claire thought for a moment. "He doesn't have any particular thoughts himself and just toldto decide. You know, sometimes his way of thinking is different. However, he's filial, there's no doubt about that.

"I don't mind. You're his father, and Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett is his grandparents. Why don't you make the arrangements for him?" As she spoke, Claire shifted the responsibility of finding a solution to Arthur.

"It's better to ask the child and respect his opinion. I'll ask him in person later." Arthur's tone was serious.

Claire chuckled softly. "So, I cto you today and haven't resolved a single issue? Wasn't this a wasted trip?" Arthur immediately disagreed. "Of course not."

Claire said, "Right, I apologized, but it was just an apology. The specific problem has not been solved yet. Anyway, I've pushed everything to you, so I'll leave it to you to solve it. That's good, I can be lazy." After she finished speaking, she happened to glance at the clock hanging on the wall. "Well, it's getting late, so I should go back."

Hearing Claire say that she was going back, Arthur, who had beem calm all this time, seemed to flash a hint of displeasure on his face, but it was hard to catch.

Seeing that Claire had already stood up, he also stood up. They had been two hours, chatting for more the had been and it was already night. It was indeed getting late. Claire said, "Well, it's quite far from my house. Mr. Jarrett, could you please helpfind Mateo? He said he would takeback when I was finished.

"Is it too late? It's too much trouble for him. I can't get a taxi here, can I?" 2/2
