Chapter 112 Love is Selfish
What started as a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere turned incredibly awkward because of Villette's actions.
Funina covered her face, exclaiming, "Oh my god!" Seeing this, Le Yi's lips twitched involuntarily, and she muttered to herself...
"Good heavens, this water dragon has completely ruined all sense of social etiquette." However, Vilette looked utterly bewildered upon seeing the expressions on their faces.
"Could it be that I gave too little?" Thinking this, Vilette quickly put away the bag of Mora.
Then he took out a check, wrote something on it, and pushed the check towards Qiuhe, saying:
"This check contains 20 billion Mora." Before Navelette could even finish speaking, just hearing the number 20 billion...
Le Yi's eyes widened instantly, gleaming with golden light. He turned around impatiently, eager to take the check.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Ahem! I'm not being greedy, this is just about social etiquette."
But at that moment, Funina, who was sitting to the side, suddenly stood up and forcefully pushed Ley out of the office.
Le Yi was stunned. Her eyes were fixed on the check on the table, her hand hovering over it unwillingly, her heart screaming inwardly.
"No! Two billion!" With a bang, Funina slammed the office door shut.
"Excuse me, Qiuhe, Vilette is a bit... eh? Qiuhe, what's wrong?"
When Funina, who had been speaking to Leyi with her back turned, turned around, she realized that Leyi looked like she was about to die.
"20 billion Mora!" After muttering this, Le Yi's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.
At the same time, Clementine, who was walking down the hallway of the Hearth House, suddenly heard a voice calling her name from the side, "Clementine!"
Upon hearing the voice, Claire looked to the side and saw Kujavina sitting in a chair, looking at her with a gentle smile.
Claire ran happily to Kudjavina, calling her "Mama," as all the children in the Hearth House usually called Kudjavina "Mama."
This naturally included his biological daughter, Claire, but he had also told Claire that if there were no other children nearby, she could call him "Mom."
"What's wrong, Mom? Is something the matter?" Seeing this, Kujavina smiled and gently patted her leg.
Seeing this, Claire understood what Kugavina meant, and then happily sat down in Kugavina's lap, hugging her tightly.
"Hmm, it's been a long time since I've spent time alone with my little angel. Now that we have some free time, I'm chatting with Mommy, which is also..."
"Let's strengthen the bond between mother and daughter." After saying that, Kujavina began to tidy up Clementine's hair, her loving smile remaining on her face.
"Clevis." Hearing Kudjavina call her name, Clevis responded with a smile, "What is it, Mom?" Kudjavina then spoke:
"Clementine, do you like Lei?" Clementine didn't react at first when she heard Kujavina's question, and it took her a few seconds to realize what was going on.
Then her face began to flush, and her little hands started to fidget. She stammered, "I...I..."
Clementine's heart was pounding like a deer's; she was so nervous she didn't know what to do. She tried to calm herself down.
But the blush on her face grew more pronounced, as if it were about to burst into flames. She didn't know how to answer such a question.
She felt a mix of shyness, anticipation, and curiosity. Her heartbeat grew louder and louder, as if the whole world could hear it.
Kujavina simply smiled gently and said, "It seems my darling has found someone she loves."
"Mommy is so happy for the little angel," her voice was soft and warm, carrying a hint of relief and blessing.
Clementine blushed even more deeply upon hearing this, and lowered her head, unable to meet her mother's eyes. Her feelings were complex, a mixture of shyness and joy.
At this moment, Clementine's lips were slightly pursed, her mind in turmoil, unable to calm down, while Kujavina spoke up again.
"It's a pity I don't know whether Lei loves Peruvieri more or my little angel more~"
Upon hearing this, Claire's restless heart gradually calmed down, and she remained silent for a long time before speaking.
“Mom, Leyi likes me and Peipei, and we both like Leyi too,”
Clementine didn't know at first that Peruvieri liked Ley, but after spending so much time together over the past few months, she could sense it.
Peruvieri seemed to have the same inexplicable feelings for Lei, just like she did. At first, she only thought that Peruvieri and Lily...
She only considered Ley a good friend and was the only one who liked Ley, but as time went on, she discovered that Peruvieri also seemed to be expressing her love for Ley.
But he did not resist, after all, Claire had never really understood what love was; he only knew it from that novel.
Love can bring happiness, joy, and wholeness. He wanted happiness, joy, and wholeness.
She knew what happiness and joy were, of course; her own mother could give them to her. But when Lei hugged her for the first time…
When he first felt the boy's hand touch his feet, he realized that the feeling was completely different from a mother's love.
Every intimate moment with Leyi made his heart race, and filled him with an indescribable joy and happiness.
She had never experienced these things with her own mother, and Claire, who knew nothing of love, only knew from books that...
When you see in a boy a reflection of spring's passing and autumn's blooming, then it proves that he is the other half you've been waiting for.
Then Kudjavina spoke up again, "Clementine, do you want to know what love is?" Clementine was silent for a moment before replying:
“Yes,” Kujavina said, a smile playing on her lips, her voice low and slow.
Love is selfish, possessive. Love cannot be shared. If you love someone,
Then you must do everything in your power, by any means necessary, to possess him, to get him, until you are the only one in his world.
If someone tries to take it or demands to share it, let them know the price they'll have to pay.
These words struck Claire like a thunderbolt, shaking her to her core and shattering her previous understanding of love. Her eyes widened in astonishment.
A complex and indescribable emotion welled up within me. When a person knows very little about something, it is easy to be led astray by external factors and lose one's way.
At this moment, Clementine is in such a situation that her worldview and values have been impacted like never before.
"But Mom, can't your love be shared with all the children in the fireplace house?"
Claire tried to find a reason to refute her mother's words, but her voice sounded somewhat weak.
She was confused and uneasy because she didn't understand why her mother would say something that contradicted her understanding of love.
Kujavina didn't respond after hearing this, but instead asked, "Baby, Leyi, have you had any intimate contact with other girls?"
When you're in close contact with other girls, what thoughts come to mind? Do you feel jealousy, anxiety, worry, unease, or anger?
Hearing Kujavina speak those words, word by word, felt like needles were being piercing Clementine's heart.
He couldn't help but recall the negative emotions he felt when Lei hugged Navia.
And the scent of the woman's perfume on Lei Yi, followed by all the emotions she felt—thinking about this made Claire's breathing quicken.
But he continued to try his best to defend himself, his voice trembling: "I... Le Yi only loves me and Pei Pei, he has never loved anyone else."
"When he was intimate with Pepe, I wasn't jealous, and I never hated Pepe." Kujavina listened quietly as Clementine spoke these words in a trembling voice.
But she didn't give Clive a chance to continue, instead interrupting her directly:
"If one day, my darling and Peruvieri were to perish at the same time, I wonder who Lei would save?"
Upon hearing these words, Claire felt as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes revealing deep pain and struggle.
Kujavina's words kept echoing in her mind, like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
Clementine's pupils began to tremble, and soon after, Kujavina finished combing Clementine's hair.
“Alright, my darling, you’re even more beautiful now than before,” Kujavina said, then looked at Clementine’s face.
At this moment, Clementine was in a daze and hadn't come back to her senses for a long time, while Kujavina simply smiled slightly.
He gently stroked Claire's face and whispered, "Love is like a candle in the cold; all you have to do is embrace its warmth."
Whether others are cold or die in the cold has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is enjoy the warmth.
Let others know that you have the ability and right to enjoy warmth, while they can only shiver in the cold.
After saying that, Kujavina gently picked up Claire and slowly placed her on the ground.
"Okay, baby, go back to your friends, Leyi, they're waiting for you."
Kujavina spoke, but Clementine stood rooted to the spot, motionless, like a statue.
Kujavina slowly walked back to her room, muttering to herself, "Love at first sight, how fragile it is."
