No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 509

The sky was drizzling continuously, soaking Ian’s clothes through. Yet he seemed unfazed, standing quietly under the maple tree for a long time.

Clara spent the day with Sasha, which lifted her spirits considerably. After dinner, she made a call to Edwin. “Where is Mom’s grave? I want to visit her.”

Edwin paused for a few seconds, then replied, “You’re pregnant now. The cemetery’s vibe is not good for the baby. If you want to see Mom, come home. Her room is here. I’ll come to pick you up shortly.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Half an hour later, Clara followed Edwin to the Campbell family estate for the first time.

She saw where her mom used to practice the piano and the trophies she had won. She also saw the room her mom had prepared for her. Everything spoke volumes of her mom’s love for her.

When she entered her mom’s room and saw her photo, she softly called out, “Mom.”

Just saying that made her eyes moist and her throat constrict. It took her more than ten seconds to speak again. “Mom, I’m sorry. I’ve fallen in love with the son of your enemy. After knowing the truth, I thought about leaving him, but I truly love him. Now I’m carrying his child. I don’t want my child to grow up in a single-parent family. Mom, can you forgive me for staying with Ian? It was his mom who did those things, not him. He has been trying to uncover the truth all along. He never covered for Leonora. Considering this, could you forgive him?”
