Thinking of her son's answer, Claire racked her brain trying to figure out the reason.
It's true that her father wasn't in good terms with his foster mother since that tragic night more than twenty years ago.
The night that almost doomed the noble bloodline of the Aldric Family to an end...
The night the Aldric Family was only spared with one male heir left...
Claire shut her eyes tight and retracted her blank gaze from Skylar without saying anything, her heart felt sour when she recalled the darkest history in her family.
The story of an unspeakable malice that the Aldric Family had buried deep, unknown to Clyde and the younger generations...
Claire lived each day with the burden of hiding the truth from the only brother she had left.
She just couldn't bear to tell Clyde about it.
"Mom, are you okay?" Skylar asked with a concerned gaze while holding Claire's hand.
