After saying these last few words, Claire didn\u2019t dare to look directly at the man in front of her. After all, she felt completely guilty about this matter and was very ashamed.<\/p>\n
Arthur, who was sitting on the sofa to Claire\u2019s side, watched as she lowered her head. He sat up straight again.<\/p>\n
Leaning forward slightly, resting his hands on his thighs, and moving a little closer to Claire. \u201cSo, you came to see me today mainly to apologize for what happened back then?\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire kept her head down and nodded solemnly. \u201cThat\u2019s one reason, and of course the most important one. There\u2019s a second reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, slowly raising her head, \u201cbut let\u2019s resolve the first one now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Claire\u2019s voice changed. \u201cOh my god, why are you so close to me all of a sudden? Are you deaf and need to come closer to hearing?\u201d she exclaimed, startled..<\/p>\n
Arthur had indeed moved closer to her, but not by much. Claire was just not used to it.<\/p>\n
However, Arthur showed no sign of moving back when he heard Claire\u2019s exclamation. He remained in his current posture. \u201cYou were speaking with your head down, so it was a little hard to hear. Why is your face so red? You don\u2019t have a fever, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n
As he spoke, he reached out a hand as if to feel Claire\u2019s forehead.<\/p>\n
Claire reacted quickly. She cupped her face in her hands and scooted her seat twice to the right. \u201cI\u2019m fine, I\u2019m fine. I don\u2019t have a fever. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jarrett,\u201d she said as she moved.<\/p>\n
Arthur returned to his original posture. \u201cWell, that\u2019s good to hear. Don\u2019t stay out too late. My son will blame me if I don\u2019t take good care of you, and that wouldn\u2019t be good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire also agreed, \u201cMr. Jarrett, after hearing what I just said, I wonder if you can forgive my foolish actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you need compensation, just say the word. With your power and status, you probably don\u2019t care much about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as long as you say it, I, Claire, will do my best to fulfill the compensation. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur laughed directly at her words, a very frank laugh. \u201cActually, this matter doesn\u2019t require an apology. After all, I\u2019m a man, and this kind of thing wouldn\u2019t be a loss for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd in that situation at the time, you were just acting out of desperation. But since you\u2019ve apologized, I\u2019ll accept it. \u201cIt\u2019s just compensation, and I can\u2019t think of what I need right now. After all, I lack nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire nodded. She thought, \u2018How could the man in front of her be short of anything?\u2018<\/p>\n
But if she didn\u2019t compensate him for something, she felt that she couldn\u2019t get over it. \u201cThen, when Mr. Jarrett remembers, please be sure to tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur said, \u201cOf course, then please save my phone number, Ms. Claire. When I remember what I need, I will definitely let you know. Here, after all that talking, you must be thirsty. Have another cup of tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire smiled faintly. It was strange to say, but after being here for a short time, the man in front of her had noticed her thirst several times. She picked up the teacup without hesitation and slowly drank it all down, mouthful by mouthful.<\/p>\n
Arthur watched her finish her tea. \u201cSo, now that the apology is over, what\u2019s the second matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s better to ask the child and respect his opinion. I\u2019ll ask him in person later.\u201d Arthur\u2019s tone was serious.<\/p>\n
Claire chuckled softly. \u201cSo, I came to you today and haven\u2019t resolved a single issue? Wasn\u2019t this a wasted trip?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur immediately disagreed. \u201cOf course not.\u201d<\/p>\n
After she finished speaking, she happened to glance at the clock hanging on the wall. \u201cWell, it\u2019s getting late, so I should go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Claire say that she was going back, Arthur, who had been calm all this time, seemed to flash a hint of displeasure on his face, but it was hard to catch.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Claire had already stood up, he also stood up. They had been chatting for more than two hours, and it was already night. It was indeed getting late.<\/p>\n
Claire said, \u201cWell, it\u2019s quite far from my house. Mr. Jarrett, could you please help me find Mateo? He said he would take me back when I was finished.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it too late? It\u2019s too much trouble for him. I can\u2019t get a taxi here, can I?\u201d<\/p>\n
