Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Come Here Damien gave Luke not only a huge sum of money, but also a large mansion.

Luke, who was obviously thrilled by the gifts, immediately finalized the date for his engagement with Emily.

Clarissa, however, felt uneasy about Damien’s generosity. She knew full well that the fastest way to punish someone was to drive them into insanity.

On the day of Luke’s engagement, Clarissa helped Damien with his suit. As she did so, she sipped in a question and asked anxiously, “You wouldn’t do anything to my brother, right?”

Damien stared at Clarissa for a second before replying, “You care about him even when he’s not your biological brother?”

He then knocked her gently on the head.

Since he’s not my biological brother, why did you give him money?” That stunned Damien, who was in the middle of buttoning his shirt. “I had to.” Clarissa was still unable to let go of her unease. She held Damien’s hands and pleaded sincerely, “Don’t punish him, please?” Damien only looked at her. “There’s no need to.”

His words didn’t make Clarissa feel relieved or secure. Luke and Emily’s engagement took place in a four-star hotel. Theresa reached the venue early. Like Clarissa, she too was feeling insecure. Firstly, she was never fond of the idea of Damien as her son-in-law. Secondly, Damien was the one paying for everything To Theresa, this was no better than her selling her beloved daughter for money.

That fact made her heart as heavy as a stone.

But Damien gave the money to Luke already, and there was nothing much that she could do.

On that day, Emily was dressed in an extravagant dress that revealed a lot of skin.

She was only pregnant for three months. While this wasn’t obvious yet, she carried a rather small bump in her tummy, something she found sexy. Most importantly, Damien was present.

Luke was a complete nobody when compared to a man like Damien.

Luke had also invited Joseph to the engagement party. Arriving here, Joseph was quick to realize that Luke’s attitude toward him had changed.

The entire time, Joseph couldn’t tear his eyes away from Clarissa. Similar to Theresa, Clarissa looked bothered and filled with unease. Darien glanced over Joseph’s table, and quickly held Clarissa’s hand. While Clarissa knew that Damien was doing this to show Joseph their relationship, she couldn’t help but feel awkward about his gesture.

Luke didn’t share his mother or sister’s nervous sentiments. On the other hand, he was on cloud nine. He stood on the chair and made a toast, looking ecstatic all the way. “Today is my and Emily’s engagement party! I really appreciate everyone who attended.”

Then, he chugged down the entire glass of wine without hesitation,

Clarissa also drank a little, if only out of etiquette.

Emily accompanied Luke to drink with the guests, but her main target was Damien.

She strode toward Theresa with haughty steps.

“Mom, I’ll drink with you as your daughter-in-law. But since I’m pregnant, I can only drink tea. I hope you can understand.” Emily tried her best to make her voice seductive.

Plus, there was someone she wanted to impress today. And so, she went all out with her charisma and seduction, hoping they would do the trick.

“We’re a family now. It’ll be fine as long as everything is going well for you and Luke,” Theresa said gently.
