I’m Sorry But I Love You

Catherine was reduced to silence as deep down in her heart, she knew better than anyone else that she would never be able to catch up to the Clark Group’s financial status despite working her fingers to the bone her whole life.

She was fully aware of the upper hand that her children could gain from a strong family background and vast fortune, but at the same time, she was also mindful of the sordidness and dark side that were usually present in a wealthy and powerful family.

‘I believe you and I are aware that Anderson is only thirty this year, and the chances of him not getting married and having children of his own ever again are extremely slim, Mrs. Clark. Although you can give me your word that you will groom Lincoln to become his successor with the best resources you can provide to him now, but are you confident that you can keep your promise in the future as well?”

Catherine let out a light laugh as she continued, “You are clearly in the know that you could not provide any form of guarantee to me. Lincoln hates the Clark family as he is now, and if Anderson were to have his own offspring again, his new wife will abhor Lincoln for getting in her own child’s way to be the successor of the Clark Group. So, isn’t it obvious what would happen then? You would discard Lincoln for fear of his hatred would be prejudicial to the Clark family, and he would end up being an abandoned child whom is either being deliberately raised to become a good-for-nothing, or he might not even get to live a long life in the worst case.”

Madison’s smile was frozen on her face upon hearing Catherine’s mocking analysis.
She had to admit that Catherine was indeed a smart woman for being able to see through things clearly.

“The Johnson family used to be a wealthy family as well, Mrs. Clark, and I had been in this circle since I was young, so it’s normal for me to know of these things. While I have indeed experienced the glorious and splendid lifestyle of the upper-class circle, I have also witnessed enough sordid affairs and filthy happenings to be certain that I would not want my young children to ever step into it on their own.”

When Catherine had finished her sentence, she rose to her feet and walked towards the bed, and she could discern that Sophia was sleeping soundly while Lincoln was watching her beside the bed.

Catherine walked to his side and whispered in his ear, “Why don’t you take a nap, Lincoln?” “I couldn’t fall asleep.” Catherine scooped him up into her embrace and pecked him twice on the cheek which had made him retreated in a shy manner.

She chuckled and said, “Mommy’s here, so try to get some sleep now.” Lincoln must have been exhausted these past two days due to Sophia and her absence as he had always been a thoughtful kid.

He nodded compliantly while proceeded to shut his eyes, and with Catherine by her side, he soon drifted off to sleep as well after she had been patting him softly to pacify his angst.

As a matter of fact, Mrs. Clark’s words were not entirely unreasonable as it was the truth that she could not provide the same excellent conditions as the Clark family to both Lincoln and Sophia.
However, she could not bear to let them be taken away from her, and she was unwilling to expose them to any possible threats
