"Cortney, Wyatt is right. I did not tell you the truth because I wanted you to punish Clown Mask. I did so because I hoped it would give you insight into Clown Mask. To let you know no matter what she did, you have always been her priority. As Wyatt said, don"t let the past ruin what could be. I hope you give this a serious thought. In the end, it is for you to decide if you will let the hideous past make your life miserable or move past it and build a satisfying past by living the present to its fullest," Clara backed Wyatt, hoping that Cortney would do the right thing and live her life happily.
Wyatt too had a lot to add to what Clara said but he did not continue to persuade Cortney further. As Clara pointed out, it was up to Cortney to decide what to do. He could not force his decision on her, even if her decision would not be in her best interest and be made out of guilt that she could not be entertaining as it was not her fault nor her burden to bear. "Headmaster, I will have the authorities responsible do something about those calls," Wyatt changed the topic having noticed that Clara"s grimoire was constantly being spammed by continuous calls that she kept ignoring. "Thank you, Wyatt. That would be helpful," Clara thanked Wyatt because even if she could just ignore the calls and texts there was a limit to her patience. Not to mention, she was worried that she might miss important calls or end up ignoring people who genuinely wanted to adopt. Now that was not something she could take chances with so even if it was an inconvenience made sure to go through all the texts as she had made it clear on the orphanage website that they would not be receiving any calls and if there were any quires they can leave a message and someone from the orphanage will get back to them. "Don"t mention it. If I haven"t been clear before please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of my staff regardless of time or how small the issue might be. I and my staff wild to do our best to help you and the orphanage," Wyatt only said this to Clara because he knew she was a responsible woman with the heart of a saint. She would not disturb him or his staff if not necessary.
"Thank you, Wyatt. I will remember it," Clara nodded appreciating Wyatt"s offer. Though she felt Wyatt and his people had already done too much for the orphanage, Not only were they helping build the renovate orphanage but also expanding it. Thanks to the resources they donated the kids were healthier than ever. They did not lack food or education. They all had new clothes, daily utilities, toys, etc. Not to forget Wyatt"s staff volunteering their time to teach and take care of kids. Clara could not find the courage to ask them more. "I mean it, Headmaster. Also, If you have any plans for charity or other nonprofit benefits my people will not only help you but cover all the costs, all you have to do is ask," Having seen what Clara had achieved with a little support from Anna in the Clown Mask"s future vision, Wyatt planned to fully back Clara in this timeline. "Wyatt, you are too kind. If something does come up, I will hold you to your words," Clara a.s.sured. Then, looking at the time she added, "Wyatt, it"s time for dinner. I hope you will join me and the kids."
"Sure, but let us not make it a big deal like in the afternoon. I would like to have dinner with the kids as one of them," Wyatt nodded in agreement listening to Clara. He was satisfied with her response seeing her not hesitate about asking for his help. Then, turning to Cortney he said, "Call Bloodette there is something serious I have something important to discuss with you guys." "Can it wait until after the dinner? Bloodette hates it when I interrupt her during playtime" Cortney asked. She did not want to disturb Bloodette was playing with her friends. So, she wondered if what Wyatt wanted to discuss with her and Bloodette could wait until after the dinner when the kids head to bed, Bloodette would be free then. "Hasn"t she been playing the whole day? This is important," Wyatt stressed. He had been clear that he had something important to discuss with them the first time yet Cortney asked him if it could wait as she did not want to disturb Bloodette"s playtime. He was baffled by how Cortney"s mind worked. Wyatt wondered what the Card World"s Blood Rule Stream was thinking when it chose Cortney as Bloodette"s guardian. Bloodette and Cortney together were the lethal combination of the dumb and dumber. "Fine, but you explain to her why it could wait until later when she complains and whines," Cortney reluctantly called Bloodette using her innate rune. Though the original Bloodette was within Corntey"s innate rune, she was asleep so that could immerse herself into her blood clone for a better experience. "Let us just go to her," Wyatt said feeling that Bloodette who was busy playing with her friends might take her sweet time to get here. "That"s a better idea," Cortney agreed and followed Wyatt leaving Clown Mask and Clara alone in the office. She still could not bring herself to be happy that she had the most caring mom in the world. After all, Wyatt might have gotten over the fact that Clown Mask killed his parents but she could not. Having lived most of her life as an orphan she did not dare to wish it on her enemies let alone her friend. The fact that her mother was directly responsible for her friend losing both his parents and becoming an orphan was too hard for her to get over or let go. She had no idea how Wyatt was able to let it go.
