Chapter 147 My Wife Lives with Her Mother for Now
In the morning, Clarissa hitched a ride with Damien to the company.
He visited the audit department around eleven o’clock.
Since the audit department had glass doors, Clarissa was able to spot him immediately the moment he showed up.
He glanced subconsciously in the direction of her office almost immediately.
Instinctively, Clarissa covered the segment of her face that was visible from her office door with her hand.
After that, she saw Damien and Lucas taking the elevator to the bottom floor.
She didn’t know what on earth the senior management was about to do.
Truthfully speaking, Damien asked Lucas to come along for the final interview of the new finance director.
Once the interview was over, Damien returned to his office. He spotted Madelynn sitting there right away.
“Why wasn’t the door locked?” He frowned instinctively, looking displeased.
Madelynn found the question to be very odd. ‘Is it really necessary for him to keep his guard up against me?’
“Damien, has Grandpa Lawrence recovered yet?” She pretended to sound very concerned.
“How did you know he fell ill?” Damien pulled his lips back into a mocking sneer.
However, Madelynn didn’t notice it.
She was under the impression that Damien’s feelings for her had never changed even after so many years. Back then, she flew to Emmeria due to her spoiled and stubborn personality. Now, all
she had to do was to capture Damien’s heart once again.
He and Clarissa got married thanks to the marriage contract, after all. Once Grandpa Lawrence was dead, that contract would be over. Or so she believed.
“Oh. I was shooting in another city a few days ago. Some time ago, I called Grandpa Lawrence and asked how he was doing. He told me that he fell ill.” Truthfully speaking, the reason Madelynn called Grandpa Lawrence was so she could find out if he was dead or otherwise.
Unexpectedly, that old bag of bones was still alive.
“Is that so? He’s doing well. It’s all thanks to the amazing medical staff,” Damien replied coldly.
“I hope Grandpa Lawrence will continue to remain healthy. The thought of you and Clarissa living together because of the marriage contract makes me…” Madelynn started crying. She sounded like she regretted being spoiled in the past. If it wasn’t for her attitude, Damien wouldn’t have gone through all this torture and trouble.
