Chapter 1024 She Is Glad
Clarissa had no choice but to follow her.
Before she left, she gave Anderson a meaningful glance, which indicated that he should take good care of the children and not think too much about it.
At first glance, Anderson could get her message. After all, they were together for so many years.
Calmly, he responded with a nod.
After that, Sierra brought Clarissa all the way to the back garden.
As the weather was humid here, the garden was located indoors with a huge glass ceiling.
Besides, there was an air conditioner that regulates the temperature in the garden. So, not only the plants inside grew well, but the temperature there was also comfortable.
After Sierra brought Clarissa to another room, she turned around and asked in a low voice, "How did you meet Anderson? Why didn't you tell me that he was once married and have a child?"
Seeing that Sierra was enraged, Clarissa laughed, "Calm down, Mom. Have a seat, and I will explain everything to you."
With that, she pulled Sierra to the couch and sat down before telling her the whole story in detail, from the time she met Anderson until the moment they fell in love with each other.
After learning about everything, Sierra was much more relieved.
"It seems like he's a responsible man."
However, Sierra still had some doubts. With a frown, she asked Clarissa, "But before he met you, he already had a child with someone else. Furthermore, it was under a situation where he wasn't married. Didn't you think of going deep into this matter? Who is Anne's mother? How is she pregnant with Anne? What stage of relationship were she and Anderson in? Did she meet him again? Shouldn't you know all of this?"
Clarissa fell silent.
In fact, she didn't know much about Anne's background.
When she first found out about Anne, she was somewhat uneasy. However, that was before she personally saw Anne.
After meeting Anne for the first time, Anne won her heart, and she couldn't care more about Anderson's past. All she could think about was Anne.
At that time, she not only felt that Anne was obedient and pitiful, but she also thought that they were somewhat like-minded.
This kind of feeling was hard to describe in words, but it did exist.
Hence, the identity of Anne's biological mother didn't matter to her.
The important thing was, Anne and she liked each other. Moreover, since Anderson got together with her, he never spared a glance at any other women. To her, this was enough.
Thinking of this, Clarissa let out a sigh.
She knew that Sierra got anxious and mad because Sierra really cared about her as a mother.
With that, she smiled and explained, "Mom, although I don't know about these, I do know that he treats me well, and he is loyal to me. So, I won't investigate those things."
"Besides, everyone in this world has a past. Before I met him, I was with Elliot too. Even so, he didn't blame me, and he helped me a lot. So, I should do the same and maintain a good relationship with him."
Hearing that, Sierra frowned.
"That's different."
With a stern voice, she added, "You didn't have children in your past relationship, but he does. Have you ever thought that one day, if Anne's biological mother comes back, how will he react? And what can you do?"
Speaking of this, she sneered.
"In this world, there are only men who make no mistakes and men who make mistakes all the time. Don't be fooled by his hypocrisy because men are great at deceiving. I've been cheated once. So, I don't wish to see you go through the same thing!"
While Clarissa looked at Sierra, her eyes darkened.
Instantly, she understood that Sierra got angry not only because Sierra worried about her, but also because...
A thought came into Clarissa's mind and she smiled.
Once again, she held Sierra's hand and whispered, "Mom, did you recalled something?"
Hearing that, Sierra was rooted to the spot.
Clarissa looked straight at her.
After a long while, Sierra finally nodded her head uneasily.
Then, her eyes became gloomy.
"I did remember something, and because of that, I am worried about you. Clarissa, do you know..."
"Mom."
Suddenly, Clarissa interrupted her.
With a serious expression, she looked at Sierra and clarified, "Anderson is not Gianni, and I am not you. In this world, no one will go through the exact experience as another person. I know you're concerned about me, but over the years, I know what kind of person I've married, and I know very well that in my heart, Anne will always be my daughter."
Then, she sighed and added, "Maybe you still can't fully trust what I have said. Why don't we let time prove it instead? Time will definitely bring the best answer to us."
Sierra's eyes were red.
"I'm just afraid that when the time comes, you'll regret it..."
"I won't."
Clarissa smiled. "Although no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, and no one can make sure that a person will always be faithful to the other, no matter what the final result is, I won't regret it. At least at this moment, I love him, and I am willing to believe him."
"If he really lies to me and betrays me in the future, that's my own choice, and I am willing to bear the consequences. Please believe in me, okay?"
After Sierra listened to Clarissa's words, she didn't know what to say.
At that moment, she realized that Clarissa was different from her.
In fact, Clarissa was smarter, more courageous, and more decisive than her.
Thus, she didn't have to worry about Clarissa.
As she thought so, she smiled and caressed Clarissa's face.
"A few days ago, I remembered a lot about your childhood. When you were young, I knew that you would be the smartest and bravest girl in the world. So, I'm glad that you become who you are today."
Upon hearing that, Clarissa joyfully nodded.
"I am also glad that you are still alive, and the fact that you are here, watching over me and protecting me."
For a while, the two of them stared at each other in silence. Then, Sierra wiped away her tears and smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more."
