Chapter 254 - Revenge 255: Her Husband (1/2)
”Did you say something, auntie?” Mary asked.
”No. I did not say anything.” Claire was even more amused at Anna and Kyle. It was no wonder why she felt so familiar with them, they are the children of the people that she has taken care of way back then.
Claire looks at Anna and Kyle again as she asked a question to Mary and Layla.”So, which one is whose?” Although Claire already has an idea whose kid whose, she likes to tease Mary and Layla.
”Tsked! Auntie, you already have seen our husbands' faces, and I know that you already knew which one of them is mine.” Mary can't help but clicked her tongue in irritation.
Her daughter looks a lot like her husband, and that fact really angers her.
She had her twins in her w.o.m.b for nine months, she suffered so many morning sicknesses, and what she gets? Her twins took most of their father's genes. A few years later after giving birth, that darn father of theirs suddenly disappeared without any explanation of why he left.
Mary wants justice, if she had known that Arion would leave her just like that, then she should have just prayed harder for the gods o make her twins look a lot like her.
”Auntie, I don't know if that question is intentional or not, but I feel very offended,” Layla said with a hmph. Just like Mary, Layla also felt the injustice that her son looks a lot like his father. When she was carrying Kyle on her w.o.m.b, she wished for Kyle to inherit her and Stan's genes half and half. But no, it did not turn out like that.
”Tsked. You two still have that sharp tongue.” Claire is not angry at the way Layla and Mary responded to her, instead she is happy to hear their voices again.
As she is happy, she is also sad just looking at Mary. Mary reminds her too much of her beloved. One of her reasons why she does not have any courage to visit Mary after all these years, and she is pretty sure that Mary knows that.
The only similarity between them is that she and Mary are good at hiding their real feelings. When facing someone who is most likely can hurt them, they set their hearts into stone just to protect their fragile self.
”Heh. You're the one who taught us to be like this, auntie.” Layla said with a smug on her face.
The elegant lady that the public has known is now gone. If anyone would have seen the face that Layla is making right now, they would ask twice if she really is Layla Robertson. Even Kyle would ask the same thing too. He never had seen this kind of side of his mother.
With an eyebrow rose up, Claire spoke with ridicule in her tone. ”You and Mary are such a two-faced.” Sometimes Claire wonders if Mary and Layla ever got tired pretending to be nice to other people.
”We learned from the best,” Mary replied. Everything that Mary knew about fooling her enemies, she learned it from Claire. Aside from her master, Claire was her other mentor who also taught her how to survive in any danger she might face.
