Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3431

“Mom, if you want to tell me something, just tell me directly. No matter if you and I are on the same page or not, you can talk to me.”


Clarissa pursed her lips, then her expression became a little self-deprecating, and she said, “Kathryn, you said this as if you were my biological daughter, and it makes you very sad. If you can choose, don’t you want to choose me as your mother?”


Kathryn said, “Children have no choice. They cannot choose their own parents.”


Clarissa said, “The worst thing I have ever done in my life is the death of your aunt and your younger aunt. You just can’t accept it. So why can’t it be me? The man I like disdains me, which will leave me with regrets for the rest of my life. It’s possible that your mom’s later years will be ruined by him. Why is God so unfair?”


Although Clarissa did not explicitly state that she killed her eldest and younger sisters, her words implied that she had killed them. That’s why she said the worst thing she had ever done in her life was her sisters’ deaths.


Kathryn had heard numerous rumors, and when she combined them with her mother’s behavior after meeting Audrey, she already had the answer in her mind. However, she was still shocked and upset when she heard her mother indirectly admit to killing her two aunts.


Kathryn replied, “Mom, there is no fairness in God, and there is no fairness in this world. Some people are born Romans, while others struggle to make ends meet their entire lives. How can this be explained? Although you may disagree, if everyone says someone is better than you, then it is true. Is it that difficult to admit that someone is better than you?”


The more Kathryn spoke, the more excited she became.


Almost questioning the mother.


Kathryn continued, “Mom, why are you unwilling to accept this? Over the past few decades, have you proven that you’re better than your older sister? Love cannot be forced. Someone who doesn’t love you simply doesn’t love you. No matter how much you do, he won’t love you. However, there is more than one man in the world. Why stay with one man if he can’t appreciate you? Can’t you find a man who truly understands and appreciates you? Hate is born out of love. Are you happy? What have you gained? Unfortunately, you will gain nothing and lose a lot.”


Listening to Kathryn’s questioning, Clarissa was frustrated even as she remained silent.


She was deeply enraged by Kathryn’s inquiry. She was furious that Kathryn didn’t share her perspective and questioned the unfairness of God.


It was impossible to empathize with Kathryn, who did not grow up by Clarissa’s side, even if she was her biological daughter.


If it was Shiloh…


Shiloh was not her biological daughter, and she was already dead. She was responsible for instigating Shiloh’s death.


What else did she want Shiloh to do now?


Shiloh was quite similar to her in terms of selfishness, but Kathryn was more like her in other aspects.


“Kathryn, you have long believed that it was me who killed your aunt and your younger aunt, right?” Clarissa asked grimly.


Kathryn replied, “It’s not what I think. I think it can’t become a fact. Mom, I just know that you shouldn’t do it yourself if you don’t want others to know about it. If it’s done, it’s done. If it’s not done, it’s not done. No one can change the outcome just because they think they have done it.”


Clarissa: “…”


After a long moment, she sighed. The sinister murderous look on her face was gone.
