SWNOVELS Chapter 102
Chapter 102
Clara just wanted to please her Mommy for her father, so she said that these things were given by her father. But how come Christy didn’t seem pleased at all?
Clara’s silence made Christy even angrier!
It turned out that she had guessed it right!
*Clara, I won’t take any of these things,” Christy said in a deep voice.
“Why? Mommy, can I ask Daddy to buy you something else if you don’t like them?” Clara asked in a panic.
“Because these things are too expensive,” Christy said with a grim expression.
*Also, Clara, remember to reject him for me if he does such a thing again!“
Seeing Christy getting so angry, Clara got into a panic and explained anxiously,
“Mommy, you misunderstood Daddy! This is my idea. It has nothing to do with Daddy! Mommy, blame me for this! Don’t blame Daddy!”
Seeing Clara defending that man so much, Christy felt a pang of pain in her heart as if something important had been stolen…
She worked so hard to raise Clara, but after spending a few days with Joshua, that rich man, Clara was attracted by his money, and her mind was all on him.
“Return all these things!” Christy’s face darkened.
She was indeed not as rich as Joshua, nor was she as powerful as him. Except for Clara’s love for her, in which could
she win over him?
Now, Christy felt she was losing Clara.

The whole afternoon, Clara was looking forward to Christy’s happy smile when she received the gifts, but who would have thought that Christy showed no interest in the gifts she picked for her and wanted her to return them? She spent so much effort in bringing her Daddy and Mummy together….
A wave of grievance surged through Clara and tears fell down.
“Boohoo, Mommy and Daddy are always arguing, and I’m worried that I’ll lose my daddy if Mommy dumps him, so I thought of such a way. I hope Daddy bought gifts to make Mommy happy. I really didn’t know that Mommy would be angry. Boohoo…
“All I want is a happy family. Why is it so difficult?”
Finally, Clara couldn’t help but pour out her heart and burst into tears.
She almost collapsed from crying, and her big watery eyes were swollen from crying all at once.
Christy was obviously very angry and sad, but when she saw her daughter’s tears, her heart ached so much.
Christy was always wary of that man using money to bewitch her, so she drew a clear line with him, but she never thought that she would hurt her daughter without knowing it….
She took Clara to live with a man in order to fulfill her promise.
But she forgot the fact that being able to live with her father and mother was the happiest life for Clara.
Christy’s anger slowly drained away at the thought of this.
Christy hugged Clara and said guiltily, “Clara, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t scold you so harshly. I’m not angry anymore. Thanks for your kind gesture. Thank you, Clara. But Mommy really can’t take these gifts.”
While rubbing her tears, Clara cried and asked, “Mummy, why don’t you accept gifts when you’re not angry?”
Christy said earnestly,
“Clara, there is a saying that a small gift means a lot. The gesture is all that matters. Even though your daddy is rich, he can’t spend money like water. Sometimes, people can’t be so greedy.”
Clara blinked her eye and smiled through her tears.
“Mummy, I see! Buy as many as you can wear and don’t waste money, am I right?”
“Well, that’s what it means” Christy gave a short laugh.
In fact, Christy just didn’t want to accept gifts from that man, and she felt uncomfortable all over if she accepted them. But Clara might shed tears again if she made it too clear.
“Clara, can you promise me that you will never do this kind of thing?” Christy said, “Even though your father is rich, you

can’t waste money, let alone show off in front of others.”
“Hmm! Mummy! I know!” Clara smiled innocently.
“Since the gesture is all that matters, you should pick one and return the others. This is a token of Clara’s love for you. Can you please accept it?”
At some point. Joshua was already standing at the door, looking at the mother and daughter with a smile.
He heard all the conversation between Christy and Clara just now,
He suspected that Christy was the only woman who rejected the gift that was worth 14 million dollars.
Upon hearing Joshua’s voice, Christy looked back, and sure enough, she saw the man smiling at her with smug eyes that gave her the urge to beat him.
Christy darted a sullen glance at him.
Joshua knew that Christy wanted to scold him again, so this time, he was proactive!
“Christy, I heard clearly what you promised our daughter just now. You can’t break her heart,” Joshua said with an evil smile.
“You!” Words died on Christy’s lips.
If she refused, Clara would definitely cry again, and all the efforts she tried to coax Clara would turn in vain and she’d be laughed at by Joshua.
“Since you are so sincere, then I will accept one. I will only take one, and please return the rest. Christy held back her anger and compromised.
“Great! Mommy accepts Daddy’s gift!” Clara happily clapped her little palms and exclaimed with joy,
“Mummy, hurry up and pick one! Why don’t I help you?”
Clara wanted to pick the most beautiful one for Christy.
Finally, Clara picked a ruby pendant.
Why did she pick this one? Besides the fact that it had the biggest gemstone, Clara remembered that Christy had a ruby ring.
The style design of this pendant was retro, elegant, and exquisite, full of royal style, which agreed with the ruby ring very well!
Joshua was impressed by his daughter’s vision.
This pendant was the most expensive among the pile of jewelry, worth three million dollars.
“I have accepted the gift. Clara, can you go to sleep?” Christy quickly changed the subject.
Christy knew that the jewelry was expensive, but she didn’t know how expensive it was without seeing the price tag.
She thought it was worth at most a few thousands of dollars.
If she knew that this pendant was as expensive as two luxury cars, she would never accept it.
Christy accepted the gift, but her naughty daughter still refused to let her go.
“Mummy, no, there’s still one more ceremony to go,” said Clara mischievously, blinking her eyes.
“What ceremony?” Christy was stunned.
“Mommy, you should give Daddy a kiss!” Clara said with a smile.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can a child say such things?” Christy blushed suddenly.
