Jacob could only bite the bullet as he tried to explain himself, "Claire, I was simply talking to your mother about everything that had happened back then. I didn't say anything to target you at all. I've never once said that I disliked you." 4
Claire did not know anything that happened between her father and mother in the past. She could not help but feel a little dissatisfied at this time. Therefore, she could only say, "Dad, I don't care about what happened between you and my mother in the past. I don’t know i f there was a third party between the both of you at that time.
