Young lady Lee did not plan to back down no matter what. Even if there was an easy and relaxed expression on her face, she was determined. And everyone struggled to comprehend the reason of her unfriendly attitude. The cold gaze in her eyes was enough to make anyone freeze the moment they would make eye contact with her.
'Why is Brent's sister acting like this? Earlier, she was not even paying attention to us. Now, it seems like she is very invested of disliking Kitty!' Claire subconsciously looked at Clark.
In return, Clark pulled her closer to him and put his left arm in her waist. He did not withdraw his right hand that held her firmly.
But, after he glanced at his mother, Clark still looked completely at loss.
In fact, instead of comforting Claire by holding her hands, and hugging her, it was the opposite. Clark did not know why but, he just realized how comforting Claire's hand in his palm. The warmth seemed to calm his nerves. So, he refused to let go of her.
