Selfishness [3]

"Haa…"

The only thing Claire could do was sigh.

Her son liked to be perfect. He almost always did what was expected of him and never acted in ways that would make people admonish him.

Perhaps it was a move he made to gain everyone's favor, or perhaps it was his nature. Regardless, Damien liked to be the person who never made mistakes.

Even now, he couldn't admit that what he'd done was a mistake.

And what was Claire supposed to do?

She could see that he was waiting for her to yell at him or punish him. He had guilt in his heart, but he refused to show it.

However, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.'

'My son is not a perfect person.'

He made mistakes too. His were considerably more damning than the mistakes normal people made, but that was just something that came with the territory.

And, in all honesty, this wasn't Claire's first time experiencing this scenario.
