No one came to pick her up, it was raining heavily and she couldn't get a taxi. It would take another four days for her to use the Bennett family's connections. Now Clara had no choice but to limp back alone on crutches.

She returned to Liam's house in a mess. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the house was in a mess.

Then I heard the female voice on the phone before -

" Liam , look how much our child Noah Cole looks like you."

Clara paused for a moment .

But Liam 's voice still broke into her ears:

" Vanessa , I don't want to hear that kind of talk anymore, especially when Clara 's around."

Vanessa 's smile froze for a moment, she lifted her hair and said okay.

Clara froze completely at the door. She turned around and wanted to escape, but she bumped into the shoe cabinet in a panic.

Liam , holding someone in his arms, appeared in front of Clara .

Clara looked up and couldn't help but agree with Vanessa , they really looked alike.

Liam saw Clara 's red eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly put Liu Sheng down , squatted in front of Clara , and grabbed her hand.

" I'm sorry, Ranran . My car broke down suddenly , so I couldn't pick you up . Where were you? Why are you back so late? "

Clara laughed to herself as she watched the lies spill from his lips .

She thought she had accepted it all and would no longer feel sad, but unexpectedly, her heart still ached.

She turned her head and suppressed her emotions , "I'm going to find a friend."

Liam finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Just looking for a friend, that's all. When did you come in? I didn't even hear anything."

After hearing his words, Clara understood that his previous concern was just a prelude. He just wanted to ask her if she had heard anything she shouldn't have heard.

Clara turned cold for a moment, pulled her hand away, and said calmly: "I just came in and didn't hear anything."

Liam 's smile froze for a moment, and he shook the empty hand without saying anything else.

Clara shifted her gaze behind him, and Liam also stood up and introduced:

" Clara , this is my neighbor's sister Vanessa. Vanessa just returned to China and has no place to live, so I let her stay at my house temporarily. Don't get me wrong."

Seeing his protective attitude, Clara retracted her gaze and clenched her hands: "Okay, I get it. I'm tired and want to rest first."
