Love in Twilight

Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Her Heart Yearned for Him Again Even though Damien knew of Emily‘s schedule and

whereabouts very well, he couldn‘t forcibly bring her to Clarissa and make her spit out the truth.

Regardless of the identity of the true murderer, be it Patrick or Damien, the fact still stood – the

Lawrences were the ones who killed Theresa.

Damien didn‘t want Clarissa to hate him, but he didn‘t want her to direct her hatred to Patrick as well. In

the end, he could only insist that Theresa‘s death was an accident.

On the way home, Clarissa had nothing to do, so she started looking through her social media.

She discovered that Madelynn had posted something on her homepage a few days ago. There was a

picture of a table filled with delectable cuisines attached to the post. The status read: [Dining with the

man of my dreams.]

Madelynn even pinned the location of the restaurant, which happened to be the same one Damien had

taken Clarissa to in the past. The date matched the day Lily and Clarissa had gone out to lunch

together. The post was uploaded to Madelynn‘s homepage around noon as well. During those few

days, Damien had moved back to the Hill Villa, so Clarissa had no idea what his schedule was like.

However, she was confident that Madelynn‘s so–called man of her dreams was Damien.

Anxiety flickered in Clarissa‘s eyes when she realized something. Did Damien overhear her speaking

about her plans to fly overseas in January? Was that the reason why he was adamant that she showed

up at the company today, just to remind everyone that she still existed?

Clarissa couldn‘t help but frown. Damien was an incredibly frightening person who knew everything

A few days later, it was time for another prenatal check–up.

As Clarissa progressed into the third trimester, her prenatal check–ups became more and more

frequent. Now, she was at the stage where she had to attend weekly check ups to keep track of her

blood sugar.

This time, she didn‘t tell Damien that she was going for her check–up. Well, Clarissa had never told him

in the past anyway.

She tended to inforin Mrs. Faber early in the morning before sending Leah a Whatsapp message.

The latter was always the one who informed Damien about the check–ups.

Leah: (Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence wants me to accompany her to her prenatal check

up. I‘m on the way to Atherton Garden right now.)

Damien sent a voice message in return. “Return to me once you‘ve dropped her off at the hospital.”

Leah: [Got it.]

Upon reaching the hospital, Leah told Clarissa that she would wait for her downstairs, so Clarissa and

Mrs. Faber were the only ones heading upstairs.

It was Bethany‘s shift today.

Clarissa tended to go for her prenatal check–ups during Bethany‘s shifts.

Bethany glanced through Clarissa‘s vitals and stats before remarking, “You‘re doing a pretty good job in

controlling your blood sugar. How‘s he doing in terms of self control?”

“What?” Clarissa didn‘t understand the question.

“I‘m talking about your husband. Has he been forcing himself onto you lately?” As a doctor, Bethany

didn‘t feel embarrassed about asking private questions.

“Oh. Well, he hasn‘t done anything to me lately. In fact, he‘s rather calm these days.” Even Clarissa

had no idea why Damien became so calm all of a sudden. It was as if nothing in this world could piss

him off.

Someone entered the office from the outside. Clarissa originally thought that it was Mrs. Faber, since

the latter had gone downstairs to pay for the ultrasound procedure. In this check–up, the young woman

planned to undergo an ultrasound procedure in order to check on her babies‘ condition.

The moment she stood up and turned around, Damien was the one standing there. She was shocked.

She wasn‘t sure if he had overheard Bethany talking about his habits of ‘forcing himself onto her.‘

“Why are you here?” Clarissa asked calmly. “Why can‘t I attend your prenatal check–up?”

“I‘m doing an ultrasound procedure soon. Men aren‘t allowed into the room. Wait here for me.” After

that, Clarissa left the office.

The ultrasound report was printed on the spot after the procedure. About ten minutes later, Clarissa

returned to Bethany‘s office and handed the report over to her.

medical records from Bethany. Bethany asked Clarissa to give her a moment before she left the office,

Soon, Clarissa and Damien were the only ones left.

Bethany had only taken a short trip for the procedure, yet there were already cold beads of sweat

dotting Clarissa‘s forehead.

When Damien noticed Clarissa‘s condition, his heart felt like it got squeezed by an invisible hand.

“Aren‘t you going to wipe your sweat?” he asked,

Then, he grabbed a piece of tissue paper and started dabbing on Clarissa‘s forehead for her.

Clarissa grabbed Damien‘s wrist just as he did that. “Did you find out about my plans to fly overseas?”

That question came out all of a sudden.

Her hand wasn‘t big enough to wrap around his entire wrist.

If it wasn‘t for Damien‘s tolerance, he would‘ve never given Clarissa a chance to threaten him..

It wasn‘t her first time threatening him, anyway.

Damien wasn‘t surprised to see Clarissa reacting like this. Since Madelynn had posted something on

her social media, he knew straight away that Clarissa would find out about the lunch sooner or later.

“Is it supposed to be a secret? Is Joseph meant to be the only one who knows about this?” He didn‘t

stop dabbing on her forehead despite having asked that question.

“I have to go! Don‘t stop me!” Clarissa replied firmly.

The bright sunlight made her sweat profusely. Her cheeks were slightly red, making her look like a

gentle sun that was starting to rise.

“Give birth to the babies, and I‘ll raise them for you. Other than that, I won‘t stop you from doing

whatever you want.” Damien knew that if he were to try to stop Clarissa, she would definitely do

something else.

“Why would you raise them?” Confusion was written all over Clarissa‘s eyes.

‘Did he find out something when Mrs. Moore dropped by and proposed to me on Joseph‘s behall?‘

Damien was a man with eyes as sharp as a hawk‘s. He could always pick up traces and clues that no

one else could find.

“You won‘t be able to find anyone who‘s richer than me when it comes to materialistic aspects. You‘ll

only return to me if I have the babies under my custody.”

The reason why Damien offered to raise the babies was not because he knew that he was the father,

but rather, it was because he wanted Clarissa to return to his side. Al that moment, Clarissa‘s heart

started yeaming for him once again.
