Arthur’s consecutive questions left Claire completely bewildered. Her confusion echoed throughout Carson’s café.
However, Claire could understand what Arthur was talking about. After all, she had experienced love and been pursued by countless boys in her youth.
Not only that, but she also reached out and touched Arthur’s forehead. “Are you alright? You’re not warm. You don’t have a fever. You’re not silly, are you? Why are you saying such silly things?
“Who are you? You are Arthur. If your job is not respectable, then whose job in Clusia is respectable?
“What’s with silly talk?”
Arthur’s hand remained on Claire’s arm. “Claire, I know you understand. Don’t avoid my question, okay? It’s important to me, please.”
Claire was at a loss for words and stammered, “Well, let go of me first. I’m not used to it like this. I can’t say it.”
Hearing this, Arthur obediently let go immediately. “Okay, tell me.”
With her arm free, Claire smiled awkwardly and moved back in her chair. “Well, I want to ask if you meant what you just said.”
Arthur nodded seriously. “I swear on my reputation that I didn’t say it lightly without careful consideration.”
“Oh, then your reputation is really valuable.” Claire said, laughing twice.

Arthur did not interrupt her train of thought, but sat opposite her and listened attentively. Claire kept organizing her words
in her mind.
However, every time she looked at Arthur in front of her, who was over fifty years old but still gentle and elegant with an excellent temperament, the words she had just organized were completely disrupted, her mind went blank.
After thinking about it, she smiled awkwardly and then, as if thinking of something, she laughed louder and louder.
Seeing her laughing, Arthur was in no hurry to wait for her answer. “Well, I’m not in a hurry for your answer. You can reply to me whenever you think of it.
“You said a few days ago that you wanted to compensate me for something. If you can, I hope your answer will be my compensation.
“I hope you won’t back down, you won’t have any worries, and you will see your heart clearly, okay?”
Hearing this, Claire did not avoid Arthur at all, but responded sincerely, “Okay.” Then she pointed to the outside of the cafe. “Shall we go out?”
“Okay”
For some reason, two days ago, Claire was still deeply trapped in the thought of escaping from all the news about Arthur After hearing what Arthur said, it was as if she was completely relieved.
When she air, she was neither restrained nor coy. All she had was a generous face.
Claire said, “Carson, let’s drink. Thank you for your silent support and wholehearted care for my mother, me and my daughter over the years. Without you, there would be no us today.

“My mother and I are both of the same last name as yours. We are a real family. You gave me life, and I will support your until you grow old and ensure that you have a happy ending. Thank you. Cheers, Carson!”
The few words she said, as well as the gesture of toasting, were very free and easy.
Except for Arthur, no one else knew what had happened in the café just now. But judging from her appearance, it didn’t seem like anything unpleasant had happened.
She laughed louder and more freely than everyone else. Cherise saw this, pursed her lips, and then gently curled her lips into a shallow smile.
On the way back, in Arthur’s car.
Mateo couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Jarrett, if you pardon my presumption, may I ask about you and Ms. Garcia?”
Arthur replied, “That’s my child’s mother. We were meant to be together. But it’s also true that I like her.
“I’ve been in the world of power and influence for so many years. It’s not that there haven’t been women around me. There have been many, all kinds. But none of them are Claire.”
Mateo, in the front passenger seat, secretly rejoiced. “Then I wish Mr. Jarrett and Ms. Garcia a happy marriage soon.”
On the way back to Prosperous City, Cherise rested her hand on the side of the car seat and looked at her mother, whose slightly tipsy beauty was enhanced by alcohol.
Claire, who had been looking out of the window, turned her head to meet Cherise’s gaze. “What’s up, Cherise? Don’t think I don’t know you’re staring at the back of my head. What is it?”
Cherise laughed. “I just wanted to see Mom, and ask you something.”
Claire knew what Cherise wanted to ask. Her straight back slumped. “Oh, I knew you wanted to ask me about Hank’s father.”
Cherise nodded. “So, can you tell me what’s going on between you two?”
Claire spoke frankly to Cherise, “He confessed his feelings to me today and asked me if I would like to be with him. He was sincere.
“So you agreed?”
Claire shook her head. “No, I still can’t see the truth in her heart.”
“I feel that at my age, and having experienced things like marriage and childbirth, I am not suitable to be with him.” Claire said with a hint of self–deprecation.
Cherise snuggled up to her mother and hugged her. “My dear mother, you will always be the best in my and Hank’s hearts.
“Besides, my mother doesn’t need to be self–deprecating at all. The past is in the past. It doesn’t count. I know what you’re worried about The main thing is to look at your own heart, right?
“Furthermore, Mr. Jarrett, a man in his position, humbled himself to express his feelings to you. What else do you have to hesitate about?”
She didn’t speak softly, and Hugh in front of her heard it too. Of course, they didn’t mean to hide it from Hugh.
So he chimed in, Claire, I’m rooting for you. You’ve escaped death once, so what are you afraid of?”
