章 559: Chapter 146: Can I Trust You?

Catherine bit her lip. Something about Clara's open, honest face made her want to confess the whole story. She opened her mouth and then froze. Clara was an actress after all, what if she was trying to get information for Iris and Pearl?

"I just didn't think marriage would be so hard," she lied. "Sean is a complicated man, you know."

Clara looked thoughtful, "It's true. But you have to know that beneath the cold and proud exterior, he has a very passionate heart." 

"He does?" she asked.

Clara nodded, "Besides, I've never seen him like this before. He's very sweet and gentle with you—he's never been like that with another girl before." 

"Oh, I know he can be sweet," she said. "But he's just so overbearing sometimes!"

Clara laughed a bright and joyful sound, "All men are like that, Izzy. Well, either they're indifferent or overbearing—there's nothing in between."

"It seems so," she sighed.
