Chapter 186 Why‘s Your Throat Hoarse if You Didn‘t Miss Me

Clarissa‘s head was buzzing. In the end, she threw herself into Theresa‘s arms and burst into tears.

“Don‘t cry, Clary. Nothing‘s changed between us, okay?” Theresa said.

Clarissa recalled the things that had happened over the years. As a child, Luke used to bully her all the

time. Theresa would buy her candy and chase after Luke with a broom. During elementary school,

Theresa would handwash her clothes, while Luke, who was in high school, would have to wash his

clothes on his own. This made Luke hate Clarissa even more. Every time Clarissa got good results,

she would be praised endlessly. Luke, on the other hand, would be suspected of cheating when he

occasionally did well for an exam

Luke‘s failed life was largely related to being compared to Clarissa all the time.

Clarissa was the one who had snatched Luke‘s parents away from him. Suddenly, she felt extremely

sorry for him.

“Mom, I‘m going to bed,” Clarissa said to Theresa. She went back to her room.

She didn‘t turn on the lights. Instead, she curled up in bed and allowed her tears to flow freely.

Before this, she had always thought that she would have a home as long as her mother was around.

No matter how poor she was, she had to cure her mother‘s illness.

Now, though Clarissa didn‘t regret everything she had done for Theresa, it still didn‘t change the fact

that they weren‘t related by blood. How wonderful it would be if Theresa was Clarissa‘s biological

mother!

How could God be so unfair?

Clarissa heard someone knock on the door from outside. Theresa opened it.

“Damien, you‘re here?” Theresa said.

“Yeah. Where is she?”

“She‘s gone back to her room to sleep.”

“This early?”

Theresa didn‘t say anything. She just let out a sigh.

Clarissa‘s room door wasn‘t locked, and Damien came in.

The light from the living room made it possible for her to see him.

As he took his coat off, he put his hand on the light switch.

“Don‘t turn on the lights,” she said hoarsely.

Damien stilled. He closed the door, blocking the light from outside,

Clarissa could hear him taking his clothes off, washing up in the bathroom, and getting into bed.

She was almost asleep when he wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Don‘t you miss me?” He pressed his lips to her forehead and spoke to her in a low voice.

“No.” Her throat was completely hoarse.

“Why‘s your voice hoarse if you didn‘t miss me?”

“That‘s why I don‘t want to talk.”

Damien was about to pin Clarissa to the bed, but she kept him at bay and said, “No, not tonight.”

She felt despondent at the thought of her not knowing where her roots were.

She wrapped her arms around Damien‘s neck tightly, and burst into tears again.

Though Damien didn‘t know what was going on, he knew she was a crybaby. He figured it was

probably a girl problem.

When he woke up the next morning, Clarissa was still asleep. Her eyes were red and swollen.

For some reason, his heart ached a little at the sight.

When Clarissa sat down for breakfast, Theresa rubbed her eyes with a hard–boiled egg.

“Look at how swollen your eyes are. I‘ll rub them for you. Stop crying, okay?” she said to Clarissa

She knew there was no way Clarissa would feel good after finding out the truth.

“Dennis‘s investment company needs an audit. Do you want to join this project?” Damien asked

Clarissa nodded.novelbin

The name Dennis was very familiar, but she couldn‘t remember where she had heard it.

She wanted to keep herself busy so she wouldn‘t have time to think about other things.

“When we get to the company, let Janet know that you want to join this project,” Damien said.

“What if I don‘t get it?”

Clarissa knew she was nothing but an assistant, and it would be hard for her to take part in

this job. Normally, these tasks were meant for certified auditors.

“Voubavamo dan‘t you

This warmed her heart. She nodded.

When it was time to go to work, Clarissa said to Theresa, “Mom, I‘m leaving.”

It was a normal farewell. In the past, Clarissa had always said this happily because she knew that this

home was a place that she could always return to. Things were completely different this time, though.

It was not yet time for work when they arrived at the company, so Clarissa decided to do some

journaling.

That day, she didn‘t draw a star behind her journal entry. This was a rare occurrence.

She didn‘t even write about how mean Damien was to her.

She wrote about what Theresa had told her the day before, since Damien didn‘t read her journal

anyway.

When Janet came in, Lucas called her into his office.

Clarissa knew that it was probably to inform Janet about the project at Dennis‘s company.
