Carl's words confused everyone. Edgar was the only person who knew this secret, he never told Carl, how did he know this?
Clara seemed to be the most excited one. "What?! You are not from the Xia family?" "What's wrong? You don't want me because I'm not from the Xia family?" Carl asked Clara. This girl was not alike Tracey at all, she was energetic and talkative. Carl was surprised that how he agreed with Clara to stay with him.
Whatever the reason, he couldn’ t agree because of her one-month service fee. In fact, with Carl's asset, he could easily buy the entire Su’s Group.
Although Carl disliked noisy girls, he had endured Clara making noises to him every day.
"How could it be? I have promised to pay you for one-month service!" Clara shook her head and hugged Carl's arm tighter.
At the same time, she had made up dramatic stories in her head. She thought Carl was born to humble and abandoned by his biological parents. Luckily, he was adopted by
Edgar later.
"What a poor child! Alas, why I didn’t make more savings so that I can pay him for few more months.” Clara thought.
When looking into Clara's eyes, Carl was like seeing through this girl's mind. He knew that she loved watching dramas the most, "She must be making up stories for me." Carl thought.
"I warn you, don't makeup stories. What you think is wrong!" Carl knocked on her head.
"Okay, I stop." Clara looked at Carl with sympathy. She thought he may not like this kind of stories exposed.
With Clara making a fuss here, the scene which was supposed to be serious and nervous was getting a little hilarious.
"Carl, who is this lady?" Adela's attention was shifted away from Carl' s identity temporarily.
Carl was in his twenties but had never been in a relationship with any girl. Adela had introduced him to a dozen of rich ladies, but none of them attracted Carl.
Adela thought that maybe Carl didn't like an arranged marriage, so she allowed him to find a girl he liked. Anyone would be fine, as long as he made a girlfriend.
However, Carl always told her that he didn't have a girl to like. Adela fell into anxiety as she worried that Carl had an abnormal sexual orientation.
When she saw Clara, she finally felt at ease, and almost forgot Carl's identity issue.
"Mom, she is Clara, the daughter of Marco." Carl briefly introduced.
Of course, he would not clarify their weird relationship. Clara grabbed the flower and let go of Carl's arm.
"Auntie, just call me Clara. I heard that you are not feeling well, so we especially came to visit you. I hope you can recover soon." Clara put the flowers down with a smile.
She was like the sun, emitting lights to relieve Adela’s depressed heart.
"You are so beautiful. Carl, you have a good eye. I thought you don't like girls, surprisingly, you bring such a pretty girl to me."
