"When I was pregnant with you, he died."
Rather than letting Serena know her true background, it was better to fabricate a story that her father wasn't around.
But this story, Serena no longer believed.
"Really?"
Serena's smile grew wider, "Did he really die?"
"I thought he was in Solaria."
Serena said with a probing smile, looking into Claire's eyes.
Claire's face turned pale instantly; indeed, Serena had noticed something unusual.
"Serena!"
"Is it him?"
Serena asked in a firm voice.
She wasn't sure, so she came to Claire for confirmation.
"No!"
Claire denied, sealing her lips tight, clenching her teeth, clearly asking.
"Heh!"
Serena laughed, from Claire's eyes and expression, she felt she had guessed correctly.
"Claire Sullivan, who do you think I'm talking about?"
"I..."
She hadn't mentioned the man's name from start to finish, yet Claire directly denied it, clearly afraid of her knowing her true identity.
"Serena."
