Chapter 168 Fallen for Someone So Unromantic
When Clarissa got downstairs, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa.
Mrs. Faber was serving the dishes, and they would soon be able to eat.
Earlier, Theresa had secretly asked Mrs. Faber who the woman from the night before was. Mrs. Faber had told her that she was Madelynn York, a celebrity,
Now, Theresa didn’t want to talk to Clarissa about Madelynn.
“What are you doing, Mom?” Clarissa asked her. She wrapped an arm around Theresa’s shoulder and pulled Theresa close.
“Joseph Moore, your brother’s boss, just texted me to wish me well. He has a way with words,” Theresa said as she replied to Joseph.
The smartphone she was using was one that Clarissa had bought her.
She still wasn’t too familiar with it, and typed slowly.
Clarissa fell silent. ‘Why is everyone bringing Joseph up today?’
She was just about to change the topic when Theresa said, “He seems to be a nice person. How old is he? Does he have a girlfriend?”
“He just turned thirty, and I don’t think he has a girlfriend. Let’s not talk about him, Mom.” Clarissa wanted to change the topic.
“Why not?” Damien came downstairs, his cold voice making her hair stand on end.
Clarissa frowned.
She knew this wasn’t her lucky day.
“I was asking Clary how old Joseph is, and I was thinking of introducing someone to him. He visited me before, and he even texted me today. He’s a pretty nice guy.” Theresa waved her phone around and smiled.
“Oh, is that so? Shouldn’t you ask him whether he has his eye on someone first?” Damien took in Clarissa’s awkward expression.
“Right. Clary, do you know what Joseph’s type is?” Theresa turned to Clarissa.
“Mom, stop being so impulsive. If he’s not worried about it, you shouldn’t be. Come on, let’s eat.” Clarissa sat down at the dining table.
Clarissa looked at the dishes and said, “Happy holidays, Mrs. Faber. Thanks for your hard work.”
“Oh, it’s nothing! Clarissa, I heard you’re turning twenty-four this year? You need to take good care of yourself, alright?” Mrs. Faber said.
“She almost forgot how old she was! Not only does she not remember her own age, but she also can’t remember Damien’s age! Are you really wife material?” Theresa patted Clarissa on the head.
Under normal circumstances, this was nothing but a joke.
To Damien, however, it wasn’t.
He clearly remembered her saying earlier that Joseph just turned thirty!
