Love in Twilight

Chapter 260

Chapter 260 Hubby

Around five in the evening, Damien knocked on Clarissa‘s door.

“Clarissa, it‘s dinner time,” he said.

At this moment, Clarissa was writing in her journal.

She felt like a stupid woman for having sex with Damien again yesterday. If she knew she would come

back to him again, what was the point of fleeing overseas to suffer alone? The knowledge that Damien

was her mother‘s killer flooded her with instant remorse after she had slept with him.

With these conflicted emotions surging inside her, Clarissa bit her lip, as if trying to make sense of

them.

Damien‘s sudden appearance made Clarissa shudder slightly.

“What are you so afraid of?” Damien asked.

“Nothing, it was very quiet just now. The way you suddenly spoke scared me, is all,” Clarissa replied.

She stood up and went to the dining table.

Today, she had purposely worn a fur jacket to hide the necklace on her neck, which Joseph had gifted

her just now.

Although Damien wasn’t that good at cooking, he still went out of his way to fry some fish and sauteed

some vegetables for her.

None of them spoke as they ate.

Clarissa thought, ‘He‘s still taking care of me even though he thought I‘m not pregnant with his kids. I

should probably stop making things difficult for him.‘

Clarissa even thought that the reason Nicole got into jail was somehow related to her pushing Clarissa

down the stairs. Although Clarissa couldn‘t agree with Damien‘s way of destroying Nicole‘s life, she still

understood that Damien was just looking out for her.

Penelope was probably right, too. Damien had probably asked Arisona Corporation to partner up with

the company and speak highly of Clarissa, in hopes that her colleagues would view her in a different

light.

Although she hated him to the core, Damien had never once talked back against her.

Hadn‘t he endured enough? He was obviously very apologetic about it.

Noticing his kind gestures, Clarissa‘s hatred for Damien dissipated as time stretched on.

They still loved each other, despite everything that had happened

Clarissa picked up some fish and put it in his bowl.

Then, she continued enjoying her meal. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Is this for me?” Damien asked Clarissa,

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“No reason. I just feel like it. Anyway, happy new year.” Clarissa finally greeted him. She had been

holding in the words for so long,

“Why are you so nice to me? Is it because of what happened yesterday?” he asked.

“Why are men always thinking about sex? No, I‘m not grateful for that!” Clarissa was a bit angry.

Refusing to talk to him anymore, she dipped her head low and continued having dinner.

Although she couldn‘t see his face, she could feel that Damien was in a good mood today.

After dinner, Damien volunteered to do the dishes.

After resting on the sofa for a while, Clarissa decided to have a bath.

As she was months into her pregnancy, Clarissa couldn‘t stand in the shower anymore for fear of

falling. So, she had opted for baths instead. It was much safer than standing.

Soaking in warm water, Clarissa‘s face and body were filled with sweat.

She used to rent a place outside in the past, but it didn‘t come with a bathtub. When she was living at

Joseph‘s place, she felt uncomfortable as she knew she was living under someone else‘s roof. She

kept having a feeling that someone might enter and leave as they please, because it wasn‘t her room.

Even though Joseph‘s place had a bathtub, she had never used

it.

Damien‘s place was the only home where Clarissa felt safe. On top of that, his bathtub was so fancy

and comfortable that she almost fell asleep in it.

While soaking in warm water, she thought, ‘When exactly will my offer letter be sent to me?‘

‘What will happen if I give birth in the middle of my studies?‘

‘I don‘t think it‘s possible to take my kids overseas with me, either

Conflicted with her own emotions, she pondered, ‘Should I tell Damien that the kids are his?‘

After soaking in the bathtub for more than one hour, she lifted her left leg over the tub. Suddenly, she

slipped under her weight and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she clenched her hands on the

railing of the tub on time, which prevented a deadly fall. However, her position right now was much too

dangerous. If she were to loosen her grip even slightly, she would‘ve fallen to the ground,

Forcing herself up, Clarissa yelled in the bathroom.

“Damien! Damien! Help me!”

Could he even hear her through the soundproof walls?

“Darnien...”

“Damien! Damien! Hubby!” In the nick of time, Clarissa accidentally called out Damien‘s nickname.

She thought Damien might actually help her if she said something Damien liked to hear.
