Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 It Had Been a Long Time Since She’d Said “Dad”

“D-Damien, you…” Madelynn held a hand to her face, stunned into shock,

She was aware of how close he was with Grandpa Lawrence, but she never expected him to actually slap her.

“Get out! Also, return the house at Southern Paradise to me! Have the key delivered to my company at once.”

A humiliated Madelynn fled right after she heard those words.

She returned to the car, feeling infuriated.

“How did it go?” Connie asked, looking expectant.

Madelynn gave Connie a slap, one even louder and harder than the one Damien had given her.

She was a celebrity, yet she had to endure getting slapped by Damien. Why couldn’t her assistant, who had given her such a dumb idea, endure a slap from her?

Connie’s face burned from the pain. She held a hand to her cheek and bit her lip hard as tears of humiliation streamed down her face.

“It’s all your fault for coming up with such a dumb idea!” Madelynn raged, screeching at the top of her lungs. “I bet you’re a spy Clarissa sent to set me up!”

“I’m not!” Connie’s voice was low, but her tone was firm.

“You better not be! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die an ugly death. You won’t be getting a bonus this month unless you can think of a way to make Clarissa and Damien get divorced immediately!” Madelynn crossed her arms over her chest, seething.

A wave of ruthlessness washed over Connie. ‘Forget just Clarissa, I’ll make sure both you and her suffer!

Clarissa helped Grandpa Lawrence back to his room.

Later, Damien went to check on his grandfather before returning to the living room.

He knew Grandpa Lawrence had been putting up an act, but he was still worried about the elderly man’s health,

He lit a cigarette

Meanwhile, in Grandpa Lawrence’s room…

“Clary, how was my acting?” he asked Clarissa.

“Grandpa, you.” Clarissa’s heart almost leapt out of her chest. She was terrified something

“Doesn’t Damien know their number?” she asked Grandpa Lawrence.

“He doesn’t want to know. Let’s not talk about it.” He waved a dismissive hand. “It’s all because of something bad that happened in the past. Even if Damien doesn’t want them to come back, I don’t think I can hold out for much longer.”

“Then… Should I call them now?” Clarissa asked.

There were already tears in her eyes.

“Go ahead. Damien will never make this call, and they won’t come back if I’m the one calling. They’re ashamed to see me.”

Clarissa dialed Patrick’s number, feeling a little anxious.

Soon, someone answered the phone.

“Hello?” A man’s voice rang out on the other end of the line.

“Hello…” Suddenly, Clarissa didn’t know how she should introduce herself. “Umm, I’m Damien’s wife. My name’s Clarissa. I suppose this means that I’m your daughter-in-law… Dad.”

It had been ages since Clarissa had last addressed someone this way.
