Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3562

Pedro was committed to protecting Kathryn for life, whether or not he was in love with her.

Clarissa waved her hand, signaling Pedro to leave. As he stood up, pushed the chair back, and walked away, she watched him go. He had a strong, upright posture. From behind, he looked quite masculine.

Pedro wasn’t bad-looking either, and in many ways, he was a good match for Kathryn.

After he left, Clarissa’s gaze fell on a photo frame on the corner of her desk. It was a family photo taken after Kathryn came back into her life. In the picture, Kathryn stood beside her but didn’t touch her. At that time, they were still strangers to each other, distant and unfamiliar.

But Shiloh, on the other hand, was clinging to her, holding one of her arms as if she wanted to assert her place beside Clarissa.

Clarissa picked up the photo frame and stared at it for a long time. She gently touched the image of Kathryn in the photo, murmuring, “Kathryn, you will find more happiness than your mother.”

Then she touched Shiloh’s image. She still had feelings for Shiloh, but…

When did things change between her and Shiloh? When did they become strangers?

Clarissa sighed and quietly whispered, “In my next life, if I am a mother again, I hope you’ll be born as my daughter, and we can be a true mother and daughter.”

The office door opened.

Mr. Dunn entered, carrying a bag with dinner for Clarissa.

“Madam, please have something to eat,” Mr. Dunn said kindly. He unpacked the bag, taking out disposable containers and arranging them on the desk.

Clarissa watched him set up the meal for a moment before getting up to wash her hands. She didn’t feel like eating alone, so she asked Mr. Dunn to join her.

“You don’t understand him. If he’s still alive and has reconnected with Audrey, even if he’s near death, he’ll find a way to return to Jensburg and die in front of my eldest sister’s grave. He’s been loyal to my eldest sister his whole life; she’s the only one he ever loved.”

Clarissa felt a pang of sadness as she said this.

Fernando was the only man she had ever loved, and the only man she couldn’t have. He had been so kind to her before…

Clarissa once thought that Fernando had feelings for her. But later, she realized he was only kind because she was her elder sister’s little sister, the one her sister had raised. He had watched her grow up. In his eyes, she was just a child, nothing more.
