Strange behavior

 Clara raised skeptical brows, confused. Well, she wouldn't blame Ruby for saying that because numerous people she trusted had betrayed her. So, it won't be a surprise that Clara was also a backbiter.

Seeing that Clara was silent, Ruby called her back to existence." Clara, what's it? Why are you overthinking before confessing?" 

Clara couldn't help but continuously stare at Ruby with different thoughts racing through her mind.

Her guilty conscience was giving her a restless mind. Her intention now was to inform Ruby about her relationship with Romeo, even though she wasn't ready to marry him now.

However, she was afraid that Ruby might think she had been a betrayal since day one. Who knows if Ruby might think Clara conspired with Aunt Elisa to sell her to Aidan?

At long last, Clara cleared her throat to speak out as she swallowed hard and sat properly on the bed.
