Capítulo 134: 134. Sharing the Pain

Samuel's eyes narrowed, and his heart ripped at Clara's words. Especially when he saw her face tense and tears welled up in the beautiful woman's eyes.

Not being wanted by a mom must be very hard for someone to accept. It doesn't matter how old he or she was when he or she found out the bitter truth.

"Sorry, I didn't think it was something like that," Samuel said as he licked his lips. He raised his hand, then patted Clara on the shoulder, hoping it would ease her grief.

When Clara slightly inched away, that's when Samuel felt himself overdoing it. "Sorry, I just wanted to calm you down."

Clara nodded slowly. He looked at Samuel doubtfully, then said, "Go ahead."

"What?"

"I… don't mind just being patted," Clara answered with an awkward smile.
