“You’re my only surviving child, you aren’t my first child, have you ever sit down and think why your father is misbehaving?” Mrs Clerk asked.
“No that’s how he has been misbehaving since I grow up to know you guys as my parents and I grown up to know Mr Clerk as a ûsèlèss father” Adele replied.
“Though your father is a womanizer from the upset, but he always make sure he takes care of me, but he changed and started maltreating me, when I gave birth to our first child” Mrs Clerk said and tears dropped from her eyes.
Adele moved closer to her and pet her.
“What happened to your first child?” Adele asked.
“He died, the same day I gave birth to him” Mrs Clerk replied.
“So sorry!” Mrs O’Brien said.
“So we don’t know how Steve is related to us, because I only gave birth to you and my dèad son” Mrs Clerk replied.
“Was that the reason why Mr Clerk change?” Adele asked.
“Yes he accuse me of kîlling his son and he got more angry when I gave birth to you, he said female child’s are usèless, he said they can’t take care of him when he grow old” Mrs Clerk said and Nathan scoff silently.
“Poor man mentality” Nathan said.
“So does this mean Steve is your dèad son?” Mrs O’Brien asked.
“Am not sure, they showed me my son corpse and I buried him myself” Mrs Clerk said.
