Love in Twilight

Chapter 297

Chapter 297 From Now On, It‘s Us Against The World After Clarissa got into the car, Damien remained

outside. He leaned against the car while smoking a cigarette, trying to appease his irritation.

Connie and her family irritated him to no end.

Damien had been raised in an affluent family, and on this day, he had witnessed the acrimonious and

harsh environment in which normal, middle–class families lived. They were unbelievably calculative.

He kept frowning

“What‘s wrong?” Clarissa asked.

“It‘s nothing.” He started the car.

She felt both inferior and apologetic. “Is it because of my uncle‘s family?”

“Don‘t overthink.” He said, “You‘re not related to them in any way.”

Damien was trying his best to tell himself this–Clarissa did not come from such a family.

“But they‘re my relatives in every sense of the word. So is Luke. They might not be my flesh and blood,

but they did still raise me. Since my biological parents abandoned me, they must not have wanted me.

Maybe they‘re even worse off than my adoptive parents, and maybe they would‘ve gotten into worse

fights than that. That‘s just how my family is, and there‘s nothing that can be done even if you don‘t feel

good about it,” Clarissa said as she faced the window.

Damien didn‘t say anything else.

Clarissa suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to get the ring back from her grandmother.

Then again, since Damien was so repulsed by the atmosphere in their house, it would be better not to

ask him to go back to get it. Moreover, she had never placed any importance on the ring.

She had never thought of relying on it to find her actual family. Since they had abandoned her, that

would‘ve been the end of their bond with each other. By the time they got home, the sky had already

turned dark. There was a short flight of stairs from the basement car park to the first floor. Clarissa

started to walk up them with a hand supporting her back. Damien held out his hand, and she grabbed it

instinctively. She tried to pull away from him in the elevator, but he tightened his grip and stopped her.

She couldn‘t help thinking that familiarity did breed fondness. The feelings she used to have for Damien

were slowly starting to resurface, and they seemed to be even stronger than before.

In the past, she had been nothing but an innocent, naive girl.

Now, she was pregnant with his babies.

And he was the father of her children.

That night, Clarissa was still feeling upset about her parentage.

“What‘s wrong?” Damien could tell that she wasn‘t in a good mood. She seemed to secretly be crying

“It‘s nothing.” She thought about Grandpa Lawrence‘s death.

With her back to Damien, she asked, “Why didn‘t I see you cry when Grandpa passed away?” “Why do Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

you ask?”

“How can you be so heartless? You‘re his grandson, but I...” She felt even more desolate at the thought

of the ring she had left at her grandmother‘s place.

She would just get it back the next time she was there. Of course, it didn‘t matter if she didn‘t manage

to get it back. She didn‘t think it would really help her find her family.

Damien‘s arm wrapped around Clarissa from behind. He then turned her around to face him.

He kissed her on the cheek and said seductively, “From now on, it‘s us against the world.”

Her heart skipped a beat at his voice, and she could feel herself getting hot. Her hair spilled over the

pillow.

“Who‘s going to be with you?” Clarissa said. He put a hand on her belly and continued to kiss her ear.

“You.” “No, I‘m not!” She didn‘t want to listen to such words.

“Who else could it be?” Damien asked. “Oh, right, there are two other people.”

This shocked Clarissa. She pushed him away. “Who are they?”

“Your parents–in–law.”

She almost had a heart attack.

She thought he was referring to the babies.

Clarissa couldn‘t really handle being, frightened like this. ‘I have to tell him the truth...
