Clara paused for a moment .
But Liam 's voice still broke into her ears:
" Vanessa , I don't want to hear that kind of talk anymore, especially when Clara 's around."
Vanessa 's smile froze for a moment, she lifted her hair and said okay.
Clara froze completely at the door. She turned around and wanted to escape, but she bumped into the shoe cabinet in a panic.
Liam , holding someone in his arms, appeared in front of Clara .
Clara looked up and couldn't help but agree with Vanessa , they really looked alike.
Liam saw Clara 's red eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly put Liu Sheng down , squatted in front of Clara , and grabbed her hand.
" I'm sorry, Ranran . My car broke down suddenly , so I couldn't pick you up . Where were you? Why are you back so late? "
Clara laughed to herself as she watched the lies spill from his lips .
She thought she had accepted it all and would no longer feel sad, but unexpectedly, her heart still ached.
She turned her head and suppressed her emotions , "I'm going to find a friend."
Liam finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Just looking for a friend, that's all. When did you come in? I didn't even hear anything."
After hearing his words, Clara understood that his previous concern was just a prelude. He just wanted to ask her if she had heard anything she shouldn't have heard.
Clara turned cold for a moment, pulled her hand away, and said calmly: "I just came in and didn't hear anything."
Liam 's smile froze for a moment, and he shook the empty hand without saying anything else.
Clara shifted her gaze behind him, and Liam also stood up and introduced:
" Clara , this is my neighbor's sister Vanessa. Vanessa just returned to China and has no place to live, so I let her stay at my house temporarily. Don't get me wrong."
Seeing his protective attitude, Clara retracted her gaze and clenched her hands: "Okay, I get it. I'm tired and want to rest first."
Liam was stunned by her calmness, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
But he didn't investigate further, just thinking that she was really tired, so he helped her go to the master bedroom.
Clara interrupted: "I want to go back to my room."
Hearing her words, Liam stopped where he was.
Clara was wondering why Liam stopped when Vanessa walked over with the child.
She pointed to a door and said, "Are you talking about that room? That was my old room. I was used to sleeping there, so Liam just let me move in."
She said it kindly, but Clara could hear the provocation in her words.
She turned to look at Liam .
"It's just one room. If Vanessa wants to stay, I'll give it to her. But if you want, I'll make you a guest room."
Hearing his words, Clara closed her eyes, unable to suppress the surge of grievances.
Liam had decorated and furnished that room himself when they first started living together , and it was a gift specifically for her because in the identity she fabricated, she was an orphan with no mother's home to return to.
He told her to treat that room as her safe haven, and if he made her angry and didn't realize it, he would know it as soon as she moved in.
But now, he has forgotten the significance of that room, and even said that it is just a room.
She pressed her chest, suppressing the blocked pain, stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "No, I just want that room."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere became a little heavy.
Liam also frowned, wondering why Clara was throwing a tantrum just for a room.
He was about to speak when Noah ran towards them.
Clara , arms waving , and punched her in the stomach .
"Bad guy! Cheap woman , don't bully my mother! That's my mother's room!"
Children's strength is very limited. Clara had just had a miscarriage, and her lower abdomen was hurt by his beating. She was about to shake him off, but he grabbed her hair again. She grabbed his wrist in pain.
Unexpectedly, he screamed first, and his crying echoed throughout the huge villa.
"Mom! My hand hurts so much! The bad guys are bullying me, wuwuwuwuwu..."
Clara was still soothing the pain in her scalp, and her eyes were filled with natural tears.
She reflexively looked towards Liam , only to see him looking at Noah worriedly .
She followed her gaze and was shocked to find that Noah's wrist was bleeding.
Vanessa also hugged Noah with tears in her eyes . Clara was confused and Liam 's scolding followed.
" Clara ! Noah is just a kid, why are you arguing with him? I already told you that Vanessa is only staying here temporarily, can you please stop dwelling on what happened before? It's just a room, why do you have to go against Vanessa ?"
Clara was irritated by his blatant partiality and became even more silent. She controlled her emotions and said, " Liam ..."
Liam interrupted her before she finished her words : "Stop talking! It's not your turn to decide on this house. I gave her that room. Even if you are angry, you shouldn't make a fuss with a child. You disappoint me so much. You should reflect on yourself."
