Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Do You Have A Boyfriend?

Even though it was the holidays, Uncle Pete still had to work. So, Aunt Cindy and Connie were the only ones at home

When Cindy saw Clarissa and her mother, her reaction was the same as Connie’s. They were both emotionless

Deep down, Clarissa felt bad for her mother. She had been bedridden for almost six years. All this while, Theresa couldn’t visit her mother at all.

When Grandma saw Theresa, they hugged each other and cried out loud. It was apparent that the affection they shared for each other was mutual.

Cindy glared at Grandma. Clarissa knew exactly what she meant by that look. She was warning Grandma to choose her words wisely.

Since Grandma depended on Peter and Cindy for a living, she was terrified of Cindy. Refusing to say anything, Grandma only sobbed in silence.

Looking closely, Theresa realized that there were bedsores on her mother’s back. On top of that, the bedsheet was extremely filthy.

“Mom, I’ll clean the bed sheets for you,” Theresa said.

Knowing that Theresa had difficulty moving around, Clarissa took the bed sheets to the bathroom. The moment she was about to dump them into the washing machine, Cindy looked at her with disgust. “You can’t use that!”

“Why?”

“There’s a lot of filth on it. She usually urinates and defecates on the bed.” Then, Cindy reached for a bucket from beside and continued, “Here, use this bucket.”

For the sake of her grandmother, Clarissa held back her anger and spent the entire morning washing the bed sheets with her bare hands. Since Uncle Peter didn’t want to waste money on electricity, they refused to switch on the heater. When Clarissa was finally done, her hands were so red they were almost frozen.

In the afternoon, Cindy cooked lunch for the guests.

“Clarissa, have you started working?” Cindy looked at Clarissa and asked sarcastically.

“Yes, I have.”

“What are you working as?” Connie prodded.

“I’m working at a small company as their accountant,” Clarissa lied as she recalled her mother’s words.

Cindy smiled proudly.

“Connie’s currently working at the largest paper mill in Pentatone County.”

“Oh. Good for her,” Clarissa said.

Clarissa didn’t sound genuine at all. So, Connie bragged even further, “I’m going to start working at New East Corporation after the holidays. New East Corporation is the biggest company in Genovia. I’m sure you’re aware of that.”

Clarissa paused and thought, ‘What?’

She was never really familiar with the job vacancies offered by the company.

Noticing Clarissa’s stunned expression, Connie swelled with price.
