Claire's expression shifted unpredictably as she narrowed her eyes at him, wondering what trick this man was planning to play this time.
She had known him for so long, yet not once had he ever spoken like a decent human being.
And now that he suddenly did, could there be any good intentions behind it?
"You don't believe me? Weren't you with Adam and Dean last night?" Gilbert asked immediately when he saw her doubtful look.
"Last night?" Claire sneered. "You were the one who got drunk and ignored the children. Now you're twisting it into some noble act of kindness, saying you let them stay with me? You really know how to spin a story."
"Claire, do you honestly think that if I hadn't agreed, Adam and Dean would've been allowed to see you and Hilary? Would you have had that so-called motherly joy?" Gilbert's dark eyes narrowed, his voice turning cold.
