Chapter 740 He Looks Different
But she still insisted on asking him for an explanation.
Unfortunately, even when she was on the verge of death, she still didn't manage to hear his explanation.
When Jara was seven years old, Sara passed away.
At that time, after breaking up with Claus, she found out that she was already pregnant.
To her, this child was like a shot through her heart. He was both the symbol of her beautiful love and the evidence of her being abandoned.
Therefore, her feelings for the child were very complicated. She loved and hated him at the same time.
Moreover, since her relationship with Claus was exposed, the Hewitt Family had regarded her as a disgrace and kicked her out of the family. They were embarrassed that she had a child with a married man.
From then on, Sara could only live in this castle with Jara.
In that era, although they lived by the heritage left by Sara's father, the rest of the family members had isolated them. Needless to say, they must have suffered for a period of time.
For the whole time, Sara had been trapped in this painful feeling. However, she was unable to pocket her pride and go to Ascijan to find Claus.
Besides, since that three-day appointment, there had been no news from Claus.
Thus, she didn't even tell him about Jara's existence.
Just like that, seven years passed, and that year, snow was falling heavily.
The whole castle was covered with snow and turned into an ice city.
In her room, she lay quietly on the bed, looking at Jara with eyes full of pitifulness and sadness.
As a mother, she had never treated him well for the past seven years.
Because as soon as she saw him, she would think that not only her own blood was flowing in his body but also Claus' blood.
And as he grew older, his facial features were becoming more similar to Claus'.
Therefore, the hatred and rejection in her heart grew deeper.
Although Sara knew this was unfair to Jara, she refused to face the ugly truth most of the time.
It was true that she didn't want to see Claus again, so she didn't want to see Jara too, who had somewhat looked like Claus.
Just like that, the little Jara had lived by his cold mother's side for seven years.
At the age of seven, when his mother passed away, he became an orphan.
But fortunately, he still had a place to live.
Although his mother had died, the rest of her family members did not make things difficult for him despite their dislike.
They still gave the castle to him, and they also didn't abuse their rights to take away the small businesses left by his mother.
Therefore, he was able to live on despite his bad childhood.
As for the old housekeeper, Uncle Poick, he had followed Sara here, and ever since Sara was young, he had been taking care of her.
After she passed away, he continued to stay by Jara's side and raised him. So, to Jara, he was an important person.
If it wasn't for him, Jara would have died a long time ago.
After all, even though he had money, it wasn't necessarily a good thing for a few-year-old kid to carry such a large sum of money. He might even bring trouble upon himself.
However, with a smart butler by his side, things would be completely different.
Aside from taking good care of him, Uncle Poick would also help him with business.
Moreover, Uncle Poick was an extremely tactful person. He had helped Jara to manage everything until he was eighteen years old. After Jara could manage it himself, he retired.
At present, there were many servants in the castle, and everyone had their own duties. It was the same for Uncle Poick. He was only doing his duty as a butler.
Every day, he would manage the castle, as well as Jara's private life.
Aside from those, he had never interfered in matters of the outside world.
This was, without a doubt, the rarest attitude.
After all, in this world, everyone knew that most people had greed for power. When Uncle Poick took over the castle, Jara was only a seven-year-old child.
Nevertheless, for the past ten-some years, Uncle Poick had been diligently taking care of Jara's internal and external affairs, and he had never claimed credit for himself.
Even when Jara grew up, he had never refused to give up his position due to greed. Undoubtedly, he was a smart and reliable person.
It was also because of this that Jara deeply respected and trusted him.
In fact, Jara didn't treat him as a servant. Instead, he always treated him as an elder.
Everyone in the castle knew that.
Normally, when Jara didn't have any women by his side, Uncle Poick would be worried.
After all, he had watched Jara grow up. He knew that Jara had a rough life and was different from everyone else. Therefore, he hoped that Jara could meet a kind and considerate lady.
A lady that not only could take care of his daily life but could also comfort his soul.
However, over the years, no matter how hard he tried to beat around the bush, Jara didn't let out any news.
And he felt that Jara had almost become an asexual.
After so many years, Uncle Poick had accepted his fate. He almost believed that Jara was born with no feelings for women and that there was no hope.
However, at this moment, Jara actually brought back a woman!
Uncle Poick didn't know that this girl was just someone Jara had casually rescued along the way. He thought that the relationship between them was extraordinary.
Excited, he followed the cars all the way in.
The cars stopped in the innermost garage. Then, someone opened the car door and Jara got down.
Meanwhile, the girl also got down from the car. When she saw the grand castle in front of her, her eyes were on stalks, and her mouth was so wide open that it could almost stuff an egg into it!
Looking at her, Jara thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you live?"
When the girl heard his voice, she came to her senses and looked at him. Right away, she answered, "I... I'm not a local. I'm from Ascijan."
This answer made Jara slightly narrow his eyes.
For some reason, even though he still looked like a country bumpkin, the girl felt that he was different from how he looked when he was in the small town.
In particular, his eyes were like two sharp knives, shining coldly, and pointing directly at the depths of her heart, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts at a glance.
Scared, she shrank back a little.
However, Jara didn't do anything to her.
Instead, he just gave her a silent look before he turned around and walked away.
While he was walking, he said, "Follow the butler to the guest room and get some rest. I'll ask someone to send you back tomorrow."
When he finished his words, he had arrived at the entrance of a building.
For a long time, the girl was rooted to the spot while watching the tall figure gradually disappear in the shadow.
