Female Novel
Chapter 503 Daddy
“I like Clarissa. Will that do?” Seth glared back at Damien. “She’s already divorced. Even if she was
married, that’s in the past. Besides, she hasn’t been in contact with her ex-husband in three years. That
means that there’s no more chance there. Isn’t that right, Mr. Lawrence? Am I wrong in my logic?”
Damien smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “No, there’s nothing wrong.”
“In these three years, we have been friends, but we’re also like lovers. We help and support each other.
I think we can take things a step further and get married soon. There’s no problem there either,” Seth
continued.
“If you’re going to get married, why did you sleep in separate rooms?”
“I respect Clarissa. I don’t like making people do things they don’t want to do. Her ex-husband was like
that, and she didn’t like it. I was afraid I’d make her uncomfortable. As such, we have never slept
together. She wanted to sleep with me before, but I turned her down. I know she’s only just returned,
and that she’s been through a lot of turmoil. I won’t take advantage of her. Isn’t that right, Mr.
Lawrence?”
Seth kept hinting at Damien, so of course Damien noticed it.
Moreover, he even told Damien about Clarissa’s behavior when it came to her sleeping habits. That
meant that they were very close.
“It seems you’re a true gentleman, Dr. Highmore,” Damien said mockingly.
“I’m not sure about being a gentleman. However, I’m not a despicable man. Did you know that Clarissa
is afraid of you? She gets so scared sometimes, she can’t even breathe,” Seth said.
“And how do you know this?” Damien asked blandly.
“She tells me everything.”
“Of course, you’re a psychiatrist,” Damien pointed out, taking the opening.
“One should indeed be afraid of someone who’s taken three lives in succession without being affected
by it. Isn’t that right, Mr. Lawrence? It’s just like sleeping beside someone who has a knife in their
hands. How would you dare to sleep with them? One should feel terrified. In any case, you don’t have
too deep of a relationship with Clarissa. You only ended up marrying her because of a twist of fate. It
doesn’t count as love, only cohabitation,” Seth said. “Enough, Mr. Lawrence. I’m tired and I have to
return to Lotharia tomorrow. Please excuse me, Mr. Lawrence.”
Seth had said all that he had wanted to.
After leaving La Monde Hotel, Damien lit up a cigarette. Indeed, he had a formidable enemy on his
hands.
Besides, what kind of a relationship did Clarissa have with Iris? Why was it that Seth had found nothingnovelbin
even after three years of investigations?
While he was deep in thought, his phone rang. Chanel was calling him.
“Hello,” Damien answered.
“Daddy,” came through the line.
Damien thought for a moment before saying, “I’m not your father. Are you feeling better?”
“I’m better now.”
“You don’t have a fever anymore?”
“No. Daddy, can you come over and see me?”
Damien thought for a long moment, thinking that he would return to Genovia soon. He should probably
drop in and see Logan too.
Other noises came through the call.
“Hey! Who are you calling?” Chanel asked.
“My daddy.”
“Which daddy?” Chanel was a bit baffled.
“The daddy who took me to the hospital.”
“Oh! Logan, honey, that’s not your daddy. Remember that.”
“But I want him to be.”
Through the phone, Damien could hear Chanel say, “Hey, Damien, I was just preparing for class just
now. Logan took my phone without me even knowing it. Don’t listen to him, okay? You do your work.”
Chanel sounded regretful.
“I’m not busy. I’m going back to Genovia soon. I’ll drop by and see him before I go.”
“When will that be? Will you have dinner here as well?” Chanel asked.
“Mommy, get Daddy to have dinner with us! Get Daddy to have dinner with us,” Logan begged Chanel,
throwing a tantrum.
Chanel seemed to be unable to calm Logan down and finally relented. “Okay, okay. I’ll go get some
groceries.”
After that, she sounded very apologetic as she said to Damien, “Oh, Damien. Could you stay for dinner
to appease him?”
“Okay.”
Chanel hung up right after.
