Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 138

Chapter 138 He Could Never Be Happy

Meanwhile, Clarissa just ate her dinner quietly downstairs.

“Please leave some food for him,” she said to Mrs. Faber.

Thanks to Damien’s unprecedented rage, Clarissa’s ecstatic mood was affected.

In order to cheer her up, Grandpa Lawrence decided to chat with her.

During the conversation, Clarissa did her best to keep her spirits up and suppress her high strung

emotions.

After dinner, Clarissa received a Whatsapp message from Rebecca.

Rebecca: (I just sent my resume to the HR department of New East Corporation. The position I’m

applying for is the finance director.)

Clarissa: (Really?)

Truthfully speaking, when Clarissa heard the news, she was very happy for her friend. Rebecca was

the perfect candidate who could take over Howard’s position as the finance director.

Rebecca: [Yeah. Joseph was the one who told me to apply for this position. Originally, I shouldn’t be

considering his offer. But since the company is New East Corporation, I might as well do him this favor

and have him owe me one.)

There was a smiling emoji at the end of the text.

Clarissa: (Awesome! Once you’re hired, we’ll be colleagues!)

As Clarissa wasn’t affiliated with the HR department, she had no idea that the department had yet to

put out a recruiting announcement for the vacant position of the finance director to job-listing sites.

That meant Rebecca had already sent her resume to the HR department before the recruiting

announcement was made public.

Soon, Clarissa headed upstairs.

Damien put down the book and gazed at her steadily. “When am I allowed to go visit your mother?”

“Are you for real? Let it be known that I’m not forcing you to do this.” Clarissa sounded skeptical.

“So, when?” A hint of impatience could be detected from his tone.

“Since today’s Friday, how about tomorrow?”

“Fine.”

Clarissa started feeling nervous even though Damien had agreed with her. She was thinking about

what she should be mindful of throughout the whole visit.

She leaned against the bed frame as she planned out every detail.

“By the way, you mustn’t tell my mom that we‘re married because of the marriage contract. I’m

worried she might be sad,” Clarissa requested, turning around to grab Damien’s arm.

“Okay. I won’t say anything.”

Clarissa nodded, clearly relieved. However, she had a feeling that Damien was going to drop a truth

bomb on Theresa during the visit.

The next day, the couple went to the hospital after breakfast.

When they arrived at the doorway, Clarissa noticed Luke standing at the foot of Theresa’s hospital bed.

In the past, it was rare for him to drop by her ward when she was unconscious. Now that she was

awake, it was incredibly strange to see him visiting her every day.

Upon recalling what Luke had commented about Damien on the day before, Clarissa quickly latched

her arm around Damien’s arm lovingly.

“Oh? It seems that Clarissa and my brother-in-law are here.” Luke turned around and started mocking

her.

Clarissa ignored Luke and approached Theresa’s hospital bed. The sight of her mother squeezing her

eyes close while breathing heavily meant that Luke had successfully pissed her mother off.

Clarissa shoved Luke roughly in response. “Why did you make her angry? Mom just woke up! Her

body’s pretty weak right now.”

When Theresa heard Clarissa’s voice, she opened her eyes. All the anger had faded away at that

moment.

After that, she turned her head to look at Damien.

“This is…?” Theresa pretended to not recognize Damien.

“Mom, this is my husband-slash-boss, Damien Lawrence,” Clarissa introduced.

Luke harrumphed contemptuously from behind Clarissanovelbin

Clarissa knew it was too difficult for Damien to refer to Theresa as ‘

Mom’, so she didn’t continue

the introduction.

“I heard about you from Clary. You may be young, but you’re already very successful,” Theresa said as

she looked at Damien. Damien stared at her as well. Both of them didn’t look as distant as strangers

should be when they first met each other.

“Is that so?” The corners of Damien’s mouth twitched slightly before a forced smile appeared on his

face.

“Clary, hurry up and fetch Damien a chair,“ Theresa urged.

There was a couch in the ward, but Luke had already taken up the only chair.

Clarissa was about to leave the ward to fetch another chair when Luke spoke up. “Mom, where are you

going to live after you get discharged? Seeing as your daughter’s very filial, why don‘t you go live with

her? Why do you insist on cramping up my house? My place is super small, after all Besides, I have a

girlfriend who’s living with me. It’s very inconvenient for us if you moved back to my place

“Luke!” Clarissa yelled. That must be the reason why Luke and Theresa were arguing just now. In the

first place, the ownership of the house Luke lived in belonged to Steven and Theresa.

“Clary, kick him out!” Theresa did her best to suppress her anger.

“If I don’t get a reasonable solution for this matter, I won’t budge even an inch from this spot!” Luke

crossed his legs and started to make a fuss.

Just as the situation was about to escalate…

“That’s easy. I’ll buy each of you a property that has four rooms and two common spaces. Mom can

have one, and Luke can have the other one. There, problem solved,” Damien suddenly said.

However, he sounded very cold. Typically speaking, now that he had tracked down his savior and

found out how he could repay his family, he should feel quite happy on the inside. However, he found it

difficult to do so.
