Love in Twilight

Chapter 460 Finally, He’d Gotten to Her

“Why didn’t you add me on Instagram? Did you see my friend request?” Clarissa asked after she

calmed down.

“Why did you add me when you hate me so?”

“I…” Once again, Clarissa didn’t know what to say.

“You wanted to see Neil?” Damien guessed that Lily had probably told her about his Instagram when

she had gone back to Genovia. That was why she sent him a friend request.

Finally, he’d gotten to her!

“Are you going to add me or not?” Clarissa asked.

Damien let her go, his tone becoming relaxed. “Give up. I’m not going to add you.”

Clarissa was speechless.

She turned to leave.

“Stop right there.”

“What now?”

“I heard you’re Eric’s godmother. Do you know who his godfather is?”

“I didn’t ask. It’s probably you.” Clarissa kept her eyes down.

“You knew very well it was me, but you still insisted on being his godmother. What are you playing at?”

Damien’s gaze locked onto hers.

“I…” She couldn’t say anything again.

She wanted to say she didn’t mean anything by it.

But the words were stuck in her throat. Anyone would think she had returned from Lotharia in hopes of

getting back together with him.novelbin

“I’m going to go.” Clarissa never knew what to say whenever she was with Damien.

He didn’t stop her this time. He had other things to do.

After she left, he checked his phone.

Assistant: [President Lawrence, Madelynn said she’s going to collect some things from me. What

exactly is she supposed to collect?]

Damien: [Go find out whether Lucy has a child. Buy some clothes and milk for the child, and make sure

you buy a lot. Also, make sure that they’re of good quality.]

Assistant: [Alright.]

Damien sat down on the sofa.

Neil then came out of his bedroom.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Damien asked.

“Whoa, Daddy! You have a way with the ladies, don’t you? When it was just me and Uncle Ray at

home, you’d definitely wear your pajamas after bathing. This time, you only wrapped a towel around

yourself to welcome the pretty lady. I bet she was completely bewitched!” Neil grinned.

“I didn’t have time to change into my pajamas.” Damien rubbed Neil’s head.

“Yeah, yeah. You can tell yourself that.” Neil poked Damien’s abs.

……

Clarissa left without getting her friend request approved.

She felt utterly defeated.

A few days later, however, Charles formed a group chat on WhatsApp and added everyone that was

relevant. This included ten of Eden Investment’s employees and the five from New East Corporation—

Damien, Ray, Janet, Lucas, and the director of the operations department, Alex Gray.

Clarissa was familiar with the other four from New East Corporation, but she didn’t know who Alex was.

She didn’t even know whether Alex was a man or woman.

On Columbus Day, Charles sent a WhatsApp message to the group.

Charles: [We’ve already signed the contract for the land at the south side, and we’re going to check the

place out tomorrow. I’ll get the relevant parties to handle the rest of the procedures once the holiday’s

over.]

A few people responded with OKs.

Ray: [I won’t be going. I’m already back in Genovia, and there are a ton of things I need to do here.]

Lucas: [The audit department’s having an important meeting tomorrow, so Janet and I won’t be there

as well.]

In fact, this collaboration with Eden Investment was only one of New East Corporation’s projects. It

wasn’t considered a priority, so it was only normal that they would push this aside for more important

things.

What’s more, everyone thought that Damien’s presence in Florin was enough to handle it.

He didn’t say anything, though.

Charles spoke to him directly.

Charles: [President Lawrence, are you going for the inspection?]

Damien: [Yes.]

Charles: [This means that only you and Alex are going tomorrow.]

Damien: [Yes.]

Clarissa checked the weather forecast and saw that there was going to be light rain the next day.

It was a habit of hers to check the weather every day so she could dress appropriately.

She picked out a thick pair of jeans, a white shirt, and a gray cashmere cardigan.

As she laid the clothes out, she suddenly recalled that Damien never brought an umbrella with him

when he left the house.

It was only appropriate for her to give them a kind reminder, right?

She sent a screenshot of the weather forecast to the group chat.

Clarissa: [There’s going to be rain tomorrow, so do remember to bring an umbrella.]

It was only after sending the message that she found herself to be a little too caring. It was too late for

her to take it back, though.
