Chapter 1079 Is This True Love?
For a moment, Clarissa was stunned as she didn't quite understand what Lauren meant.
Her love life wasn't perfect, and in the past, she even been in a relationship with a jerk like Elliot.
However, since she got together with Anderson, their relationship had been smooth sailing, and they hardly encountered any setbacks.
So, she thought that was how love usually worked.
For Cara, Coby had actually persisted for a thousand years.
This sounded like a scary and insane thing to do.
However, thanks to his love for Cara, he did it.
Therefore, if he didn't love her, how did he survive through those years?
Seeing that Clarissa was confused, Lauren knew that Clarissa hadn't understood her words.
With that, she let out a helpless sigh.
"Actually, it's a good thing that you don't understand. It means that you've been living happily. If one day you understand, I will feel sorry for you," she uttered.
Once again, Clarissa was dumbfounded, but this time she roughly understood something.
And she fell silent.
"So, you mean that he did everything not because he loved her but because he was guilty toward her?"
Lauren sneered coldly, "Well, maybe he did love her, but no one could be sure how deep his love was."
"Although he held on for a thousand years, what had he done in those years?"
"Nothing. He just stayed in the same spot, reminiscing his moments with Cara."
"Besides, while searching for the Jade of Heaven to resurrect Cara, he kept immersing himself in the fantasy that he was deeply in love with her."
"Even so, did he really love and understand her?"
"Had he ever wondered why she would rather die than become his empress?"
"He must've told you how he loves her, but he certainly did not tell you his real thoughts."
"Until today, did he realize his mistakes? And did he even know why she left him?"
For a moment, Clarissa was puzzled. "He..."
She recalled carefully. When she was with Coby, he did tell her a lot about his past.
However, he somehow didn't share his real personal thoughts.
So, Clarissa was unsure about that.
Then, Lauren added indifferently, "I don't think he had ever thought about this question because deep in his heart, this question was not important, let alone finding an answer to it."
"Besides, since long ago, he deemed that he was the reason for Cara's existence."
"When she died, things went out of his control. At the same time, he was probably guilty about it, so he desperately tried to resurrect her."
"Even if his plan sounded crazy, cost plenty of lives, and was opposite from Cara's beliefs, he would go for it."
"But if I were Cara, I wouldn't be happy to see him turn out this way."
"Because my death is to let him understand the worth and meaning of life. If he doesn't cherish other people's life and his own life, what is the point of my death?"
"Even if I come back to life, will our relationship get any better?"
"Not only everything I've done lost its meaning, but he also never understand what my true thoughts are."
"So, his love is questionable."
Upon hearing Lauren's explanation, Clarissa was in a daze. It didn't occur to her that this matter could be analyzed in such a deep way.
After a while, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"It seems that I'm not as clear-minded as you are when it comes to relationships. After hearing your explanation, I finally got a clear understanding. What you said does make sense."
Being praised, Lauren became shy.
With a faint smile, she said, "Actually, those were just some random thoughts of mine. You don't have to take it seriously. Anyway, he is dead, so it doesn't matter what the truth is."
Clarissa nodded.
When both of them completed their spa therapy, it was already afternoon. At this time, Anne and Marf should have finished school.
Hence, she bid goodbye to Lauren and went home.
Sure enough, after returning home, she saw Anne and Marf.
In fact, both of them were smart, so she did not have to worry about their homework.
In a blink of an eye, they finished all of their homework.
After that, they pestered her to play with them.
As Clarissa was still pregnant, her body was heavy. Hence, after playing with them for a while, she got exhausted.
Just then, Anderson came home.
The moment he saw Anne and Marf kept pestering Clarissa, his face darkened, and he yelled at them.
"Enough! Can't you see that your mom is tired? Go and play by yourself!"
Being yelled at, Anne and Marf stuck out their tongues at him. Then, they held each other's hands and ran away.
Seeing that, Clarissa laughed, "You're always so fierce. What if you scare them away?"
Anderson snorted, sat by her side, and placed his hand on her belly.
"How are you? Is it tiring today? Did these two little fellows trouble you?" he asked with concern.
With a smile, Clarissa shook her head. "No, not at all. They're very obedient."
As soon as she finished her words, she felt a slight kick on her belly.
Anderson's hand was placed on her belly, so he could clearly feel it. With that, his eyes widened with surprise.
Although this wasn't his first time being a father, this was the first time he could feel a fetal movement.
On the other hand, Clarissa didn't expect that she would have early quickening either.
Therefore, she jested, "Look, speak of the devil, here they are. I wonder if they can hear us clearly."
Surprisingly, Anderson took her words seriously.
While staring at her belly, he started to think that the children inside could really hear him.
"You two should behave well and don't disturb your mommy. Otherwise, when you come out, I will spank you. Do you understand?" he exhorted in a serious tone.
After hearing his words, Clarissa burst out laughing.
At this moment, Anne and Marf also ran over.
"Mommy! Daddy! Are they coming out?" they asked curiously.
Feeling amused, Clarissa chuckled, "How could it be so early? It's only been five months!"
As Anne had grown up a little, she learned some general knowledge.
So, she replied loudly, "Oh!"
"We still need to wait for a few months. But worry not, they will come out sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Marf nodded seriously.
