Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1191

Chapter 1191 Anxious Aunt

Jennifer approached Tristan and put her hand on his shoulder gently. She could tell how upset he was. "Tristan..."
Her voice brought Tristan back to the present. He looked back at her silently.
Standing in front of the window of the innermost room of Eason's ward suite, Tristan gripped the handrail while frowning deeply. He didn't want to hide his emotions in her sister's presence.
Jennifer didn't ask him anything but stood by his side quietly.
A few minutes later, Tristan admitted, "I had a crush on Claire some time ago. After realizing it, I could feel I liked her more and more each day."
"What did you do to her?" Jennifer was curious. "Why did you apologize to her?" She hoped Tristan hadn't harassed Claire as he wasn't that kind of man.
Tristan hesitated for a while and told her what had happened earlier that day.
Jennifer sucked in her breath after listening to him. "She hadn't calmed down when you confessed. You should let her forgive you first. Why were you so eager to confess your love to her?"
"I saw her with Dr. Watson, so I reacted recklessly." Tristan also regretted it. "I didn't plan to confess my love to her in the hospital, actually."
Jennifer heaved a sigh, feeling sorry for him. "Claire hasn't rejected you, has she? You still can win her heart."
"I'm afraid I've frightened her." Tristan smiled bitterly. As a matter of fact, he worried more that Rowan would have taken the chance to confess his love for Claire.
Sometimes, a man's hunch works well. Tristan could tell Rowan also liked Claire.
Claire was lovely and worry-free, unlike some hypocritical girls.
Meanwhile, the door of Violet's ward had been locked from the inside.
Violet took Claire's arm and dragged her to the window. Widening her eyes, she asked in a low voice, "Claire, I didn't mishear, did I? Did Tristan confess his love for you just now?"
After all, it happened in the corridor behind the door.
Claire looked into her eyes, furrowing her brows slightly. "Why are you so excited? Aunt Violet, please calm down." Her aunt looked too eager.
Violet could be sure that Tristan had confessed his love for Claire. "Tristan is a good boy. He looks reliable, and he's handsome. You can consider dating him, Claire."
"Excuse me, Aunt Violet?"
"You've grown up. Don't you want to find a husband?" Violet darted at her from the corner of her eyes. "You always say you don't want to fall in love. Do you plan to stay in the Russell family for the rest of your life?"
Before Claire retorted, Violet rolled her eyes at her. "Even if your uncle and I agree, your late parents will disagree. You are their only daughter. You must find a good husband."
Claire had an intense migraine and was baffled. Tristan had frightened her so much that she hadn't returned to her senses.
Violet was interested in Tristan, so she asked, "What did you do after going out? You also changed your dress. Did he buy it for you? Tell me. Tell me. Do you have a crush on him?"
"Aunt Violet!" Claire interrupted, "Why are you a fence-sitter? Didn't you try to bring me and Dr. Watson together earlier? You urged me to go talk to him often."
Violet was taken aback, feeling embarrassed. The next second, she explained, "Right. I did, but there was no progress between you guys. He's gentle and slow. You also never make progress. I don't think there's chemistry between you guys. Tristan is decent. You should grasp the chance."
Claire looked at her helplessly. "You wish me to get married ASAP as long as it's a man, right?"
"That's not what I mean," Violet clarified. "So far, I'll be glad if you marry Dr. Watson or Tristan. I don't think other men deserve you."
Claire didn't reply, sitting on the bed edge, lost in thought.
Violet stared at her and approached her. "Claire, do... do you have a crush on Dr. Watson?" she asked.
Her question made Claire's heart skip a beat. Claire looked up at her quietly.
Violet immediately understood she liked Rowan.
