Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: My Mom Couldn ‘t Have Given Birth to Me Alone

Perhaps because she had no expectations, Enna Clark didn’t feel disappointed when he said so.

It seemed to have always been the case since childhood. No matter what Jasmine Clark did, as long as she cried to Juliet Jordan, Juliet would always stand up and rebuke her indifferently. Then Jacob Clark would definitely give in, and in the end, it would be her fault.

Although she didn’t feel disappointed, there was still something inside her that felt blocked, causing a twinge of pain.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the sour and bitter feelings in her chest. She said, “I know what the truth is. Dad, if you think I’m overthinking things, then perhaps I am.”

Before Jacob Clark could respond, she continued, “But I won’t meet Finn Smith, and I won’t associate myself with the Smith family.”

“I’m not trying to sell you; I just wanted you to meet Young Master Smith,” Jacob Clark said, a headache apparent in his tone. He softened his words in an attempt to reason with her empathetically.

“I don’t know why Mayor Smith has been giving our company such a hard time lately. Enna, for the sake of the company and the family, please go meet him.”

For the company?

For the family?

Had he any idea what Finn Smith had done to her?

Enna’s heart felt cold. She couldn’t even muster the strength to pull the corners of her mouth into a smile. She looked at him without any expression, her fist tight. “I’m not going. I’m already married.”

William Sullivan suddenly glanced at her—

She was married? To whom? To Baron Lawrence?

Jacob Clark hadn’t expected her to be so ignorant. She’d lied to trick him, even after he’d gone to such lengths to explain himself. His face darkened with anger: “You’re married? To whom? The man in Bauhinia Garden?”

Without giving Enna a chance to explain, he brought his hand down with a thud on the table, causing the teacup on it to bounce with the impact.

Auntie Wren, who was nearby, looked worriedly at the stubborn Enna standing there. She wanted to step forward to intercede, but dared not interrupt at such a moment.

“I always thought you were different from your mother, a girl with self-respect and self-love. Even after what happened five years ago, I still believed you were just young and innocent. But now, you’ve not only been living with a strange man, you’ve even let yourself be kept for money!”

That his daughter, a Clark, had been kept for money – how could he ever show his face if this got out?

Enna’s face grew noticeably paler. She raised her head and retorted for the first time, “It takes two to make a clap. Even if my mother lacked self-love and self-respect, she couldn’t have created me by herself!”

Her bright eyes stared into those of Jacob Clark. Disappointment, mockery, and a range of other emotions surfaced, eventually turning into a numbness devoid of hope. “I don’t know who’s been whispering in your ear, but though I’ve been living with a man, it’s not how you imagine. But it doesn’t matter, because in your heart, my existence is only a disgrace,” she said.

This was why she had to make things clear with Baron Lawrence.

Having grown up in such a deformed environment, she didn’t want Bobby to grow up in the same surroundings.

Jacob Clark stared back at her, unable to disguise his guilt, but he hardened his heart the very next second. Why should he feel guilty? He had already done his duty by raising her to adulthood instead of abandoning her at the orphanage.

Enna took a deep breath, scanned the people in the villa, and turned back to Jacob Clark. “No matter what you think of me, I am grateful for your care. Rest assured, I won’t trouble you. I will leave Linton City immediately, so you don’t have to worry about offending Mayor Smith.”

Jacob Clark’s face eased a bit.

Pausing briefly, she continued in a blank expression, “But before I leave, there’s one more thing..”
