"Both my wife and Rose are my top priorities," George said with a chuckle.
Their voices reached Serena, making her feel even more downcast.
Clark handed Serena a cup of freshly brewed coffee, whispering, "Someday, when you find the right person, you'll be cherished just like this by your in-laws."
Serena looked up, surprised that Clark had noticed her inner thoughts, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Clark, am I really that bad?"
"Everyone has different strengths and blooms at different times," Clark said, seeming to guess her thoughts. He stood by her side, smiling. "Rose's success is due to the unimaginable amount of hard work she has put in. While you were shopping, having spa days, and attending parties, she has been quietly striving."
Serena seemed enlightened, looking up at Clark.
"If you feel that you're not good enough, it's never too late to start working hard. When your time comes, people will admire and look up to you."
