Since Damon had several illegitimate sons, he didn't pay much attention to me.
Eva Bernard, my mother, served food to me.
"Claire, why are you not pregnant yet? You dad didn't mean it when he claimed to disown you. Don't take it to heart. No matter what, you are his only legitimate daughter. As long as you give birth to a boy, no one will dare offend us," she said.
I put aside my fork.
I felt uncomfortable when she glanced at my belly.
"Shut up!" I said testily.
Eva was taken aback. She took a tissue to wipe away the tears that didn't exist.
"Claire, I've treated you like my own daughter these years. Aren't you touched by what I've done for you? How could you talk to me like that?" she said, putting on a pitiful look.
In fact, Eva wasn't my biological mother.
She was my mother's sister.
My mother had suffered from depression because of Damon's betrayal.
In the end, she took her own life by taking three bottles of sleeping pills.
The following year, Eva married Damon, claiming that she was doing that to take better care of her deceased sister's daughter. But I knew that she was after his money.
Since then, she had gone to great lengths to get pregnant with Damon's baby but to avail.es.
