Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 458

Chapter 458 I Will Not Overthink “Charles, forget about it. There won't be anything between Samueland me anymore.” Kathleen pulled Charles’ hand. Furrowing his brows, Charles asked, “What do youmean?” Kathleen gradually released her grip. “Perhaps, we shouldn't have gotten back togetherfrom the start.” Feeling sorry for her, Charles asked, “What did Samuel say to you?" “Nothing.Charles, I have ways to prove my innocence, so you don't have to worry about me,” Kathleenassured calmly before she asked, “Didn’t Wyatt come back with you?” Knowing that Kathleen hadchanged the topic, Charles knew she did not want to talk about Samuel, so he replied, “We met andtalked for a bit before he left.” “What did he say?” Kathleen was curious. “He didn't say much butonly asked me if I'm willing to side with him. But you know I don't want to get myself involved in thematter between him and his brother.” Apparently, Charles had turned Wyatt down.

"What happened after that?” “After that, he left without saying anything,” answered Charles. Afterpondering for a brief moment, Kathleen remarked, “Charles, whether Wilbur or Wyatt becomes theleader of Blissful Sect in the future, it won't do us any good.” “You're right. Unless we take overBlissful Sect, but that would cause more trouble.” Charles's gaze darkened. At that point, Kathleenand Samuel only wished to live a peaceful and stable life; a rather ordinary life. “Charles, besides thetwo sons, Raymond has a daughter too,” came Kathleen's implicit remark. Knitting his brows,Charles asked, “Are you going to help Clarissa to snatch over the role as the sect leader?” Kathleennodded. “Both Wilbur and Wyatt will be threats to us, but Clarissa is different. If she becomes thesect's leader, she won't come to us to look for trouble.” “Is she willing to become the leader,though? When her mom sent her to Blissful Sect, she said she wished Clarissa could live a peacefullife without worries.”

Charles’ frown deepened. "We can ask for her thoughts then. Let's not force her. If she is unwillingto do so, I'll stop bringing this matter up,” Kathleen suggested. Charles thought about it and replied,“Okay. I'll talk to her.” “All right.” Kathleen nodded. “I'll go back now.” Charles then turned aroundand left. Charles came out of Kathleen's house and drove back to his own place. As soon as hestepped into his house, Clarissa walked out of the room. “Charles, have you found Wyatt?” Clarissaasked concernedly. “Yes. I found him,” Charles responded with a nod. “Did he tell you when he'sgoing back?” Clarissa was curious. Without much emotion showing on his face, Charles merelyreplied, “He doesn't plan to go back. Also, Wilbur had married Adina, so he said he had already lostto Wilbur once. As such, he doesn't want to lose to him again.” Clarissa was bewildered. “Who doeshe want to marry? Does he think of marrying some fairies then?” “I have no idea. But I can tell he'sgrowing more anxious, so I'm worried Wyatt might opt for a way that leaves him no chance to turnback.”

“Charles, it's pointless for you to worry here. The fight between Wilbur and him is inevitable, andthis was why Wilbur insisted on marrying Adina even though he knew her personal life was a hugemess,” Clarissa explained. Charles said in a low voice, “If you're given a chance to choose, whowould you side with?” Clarissa was taken aback. It was the first time Charles had asked her thisquestion in all these years. “I side with no one,” Clarissa replied sternly. “None of them can manageBlissful Sect well. Besides, Blissful Sect was initially...” As she spoke, a glint seemed to flash acrossher eyes. In a deep voice, Charles questioned, “Do you want to take over Blissful Sect?” Clarissaknew she could not stop her ambition from growing. “Yes! I want to! Charles, this is the first time I'mopening up to you. Back then, I was the one who asked to go to the Watson family. My mom helpedRaymond to establish Blissful Sect, so why should I hand it over to someone else in the end?”Charles stared at her intently without replying a word. Clarissa’s eyes were bloodshot. “My mom isnot the mistress! Just because she failed to give birth to a son, Raymond dumped her. No onewould've expected him to go to that extent of looking for my mom and doing such a thing to her.When my mom discovered she was pregnant, she felt like the sky was falling apart. She didn't wantto give birth to me because I reminded her of all the humiliations and sufferings she hadexperienced. Even though she hasn't been treating me well since I was a child, I don't resent her forthat. She has given me life, after all.” Looking at how she was crying miserably, Charles reached topat her on the shoulders. Clarissa flashed him a pitiful look. “Can't you hug me? I will not overthinkanyway.” Charles was tongue-tied. He let out a sigh of resignation and took her into his arms.Clarissa buried herself in his embrace as she wailed. After so many years, it was the first time Charlessaw her crying that sorrowfully. In fact, it was also the first time Clarissa cried in front of someone.Since she was young, she had been exceptionally good at suppressing her emotions, so she couldalways hold back her tears no matter how much she felt like crying. However, this time, she couldnot hold herself back at the mention of her past. After a long while, even though no more tearswere left to cry, she was still weeping. She let go of Charles and stared at that expensive suit he waswearing. “Charles, I'm sorry. I've stained your suit with my tears.” “It's okay. As long as you feelbetter after crying.” Charles seemed unbothered. “I'm not a child.” Clarissa sniffled. “I don't cry allthe time.” She had always been tough. “Yes, I know.” Charles stared at her deeply. Hearing that,Clarissa could not help muttering inwardly. You know nothing! “Clarissa,” Charles called out. Clarissalooked up and asked, “What's the matter?” “If you wish to take over Blissful Sect,” Charles continuedafter a momentary pause, “let me help you.” Clarissa was stunned.

“You can no longer stay out of it if you wish to help me. Also, there's no way you could escape onceyou meddle with this matter.” She did not want to trouble Charles, as she knew Charles wished tolive a life of his own. Hence, he should be chasing after a life that he truly wanted. Charles flashedher a faint smile. “Do you expect me to stand by and watch when you're caught in a predicament?”Clarissa felt her heart racing. “But I'm going to land you in trouble.” “If I leave you alone, I couldn'tlive in peace too. Since you have this wish, I'll help you to achieve it. No matter how tough theprocess will be, leave it to me without worries,” Charles stated. Clarissa’s cheeks turned rosy as soonas she heard that assurance from him. “You'd better not take me as a trouble by then.”

Charles grinned subtly. “It won't happen. Don't worry.” “Where should we start?” Clarissa wondered.“It'd be hard for Wyatt to look for a suitable partner here. In truth, he isn't really a big threat to you,as he has no one to rely on at the moment.” Charles took a deep breath before he continued,“Adina is the biggest threat.”
