nChapter 40

nOne could see that Logan and Claire had question marks all over their face . They both didn't know why he got serious all of a sudden .

n

"Both of you should know that lying to Clara is forbidden as she possesses the Transcendent Truth Eyes . Have you both ever lied to Clara before?

" Davis asked with a solemn tone .

nAfter thinking for a few seconds, Claire answered .

n

"I don't think I ever lied to Clara .

"

n

"Me neither .

" Logan shrugged with an innocent face .

nDavis turned his head only to see Clara being stunned . Her eyes were glowing indicating that her eyes were active .

n

"How is it Clara? Are they telling the truth?

"

n

"My eyes seems to say that they are telling the truth . . .

" With a stunned expression, she said .

nDavis seemed to visibly relax .

nClara had a confused expression on her face .

" . . . But… how? My eyes had also said to me way before that they have lied to me .

"

n

"Clara, believe me! We have never lied to you before .

" Claire said, stepping forward .

n

"A misunderstanding?

" Davis muttered softly .

n'Not a lie? If it is not a lie… could it possibly be deceit?' Davis though

n

"Clara, what did Mom say when your eye said that she lied to you?

" Davis narrowed his eyes .

nClara got out from her bed and stood beside Davis .

n

"There are many instances of Mom and Dad lying to me .

" She said with some grievance in her heart .

n

"Many?

" All three of them were visibly dumbfounded .

nClara gathered her courage and said with a determined face .

n

"One such instance is when mom said that she was going to the bathroom when I was around three years old . Mom only came to me after more than an hour . When I asked what was she doing there for so long? She said that she was enjoying the bath, and so that it had took her long to come out .

"

nSeeing that the three of them with furrowed brows and a confused expression, she grit her teeth and continued .

n

"Another instance was when dad was playing with me, he rarely plays with me and even so he says that he is really busy . One day when dad was playing with me, I accidentally slept off, and when I woke up… what I saw was dad beating mom from behind her, he even hit her back . They then quickly separated when they saw me wake up . I saw it, don't you try to deny it dad! Mom's face was red, she must have been really in pain .

" Clara cried so hard .

n

"An… . And when I asked… dad about it… he said that he was just playing with her . Lies… all lies, Waaah . . .

"

nClara cried and sniffed… .

n

"And… when I ask . . asked mom about it, she also said that she was playing with him . Waa, brother! They're just lying to me all the time…

"

n

"Anoth… .

"

n

"Alright stop! Clara, it's enough, I've already understood .

" Davis embraced and comforted her .

nClara kept crying, pouring her emotions over to her brother . After a few moments, she stopped crying .

nDavis then let her out of his embrace . He then turned around and glared at them .

nThey both put their head down in shame .

n

"Alright Mom and Dad, care to explain yourselves to Clara?

"

nThey both stayed silent, still hanging their heads low .

n

"Brother? Does this mean that they admit that they have lied to me?

" Clara innocently asked .

n

"Sigh, Clara they didn't lie to you .

"

n

"But…

"

n

"They deceived you .

"

n

"Deceive? Me? But why?

"

n

"Why don't you ask them yourselves, Clara, go ahead, brother is here, they will answer you .

" Davis smiled . Inside his heart, he was laughing his ass off . He didn't want to let them go easily after they had created this mess .

n

n

nClara nodded . She then turned around and asked .

n

"Mom! Why did you deceive me?

"

nThere was no answer .

nDavis could see their eyes darting around . He could faintly guess that they were having a conversation using Soul Transmission .

n

"Dad! Why did you deceive me?

" Clara wasn't giving up . Tears had again formed on her eyes .

nClara and Logan looked at each other's face and sighed .

n

"Clara, it's too soon for you to know .

" Logan said .

nDavis narrowed his eyes . Seems like they're not ready to admit it yet?

n

"Clara, when you said that father was beating mother, he was just using his peepee to . . . . .

"

n

"Alright, alright, I'll tell, you shut up Davis .

" Logan shouted out of shame .

n

"Then tell fast, I and Clara don't have all day, we're busy with cultivation .

" Davis smirked .

nClara looked at Davis in admiration, astonished at the fact that he can even talk back to their dad at his age .

nLogan visibly raged while Claire just stayed silent . When she heard 'his peepee', she froze .

n

"Fine .

" Logan calmed down .

n

"Clara, I and mom was just procreating at the time when we deceived you . In your age, you shouldn't know all these things .

"

nClara could tell that they were saying the truth but she couldn't understand why they would deceive her .

n

"Why? Isn't it just an act of sticking a male's reproductive organ into a female's one? What's so special about that you deceive me to hide it from me?

"

n

"You!

" Logan and Claire were totally shocked at what their daughter was saying .

nDavis sighed . He understood what the hell was going on now .

n

"You two!

" Davis shouted .

nIt immediately grabbed everyone's attention .

n

"Both of you are just forgetting that Clara is just a child capable of complex thoughts and emotions, not an adult capable of complex thoughts and emotions . Even if a child utters the word 'sex', that child will only think of gender while adults will surely think of procreation .

"

n

"What she said is purely from her knowledge without any in depth meaning to it .

"

nHe paused a moment before sneering .

"Unlike you two with impure thoughts all day long .

"

nLogan's veins popped up in his head while he clenched his fists while Claire put her head down in shame .

nBut they understood why they were wrong . They subconsciously treated Clara as a second Davis . Davis was an adult and Clara was a child in terms of mentality . They were wrong to treat them the same .

n

"Clara, father and mother meant no harm . It was all for your sake .

" Davis tried to convince her .

n

"Hmm, I believe in brother .

"

n

"Glad to hear that, so it's all ok now, right?

" He asked doubtfully .

n

"Yes, I guess all the problems were with my eye . When will I be able to master it?

" She muttered regretfully .

n

"Don't worry, believe in yourself and also don't let a person's lie affect your mentality . Always be warm to your family, got it?

"

n

"Hmm!

" Clara replied brightly
