Chapter 223 Whose Is It?
Clarissa’s hand stilled. “President Peterson?”
“Yes, it’s me. I heard that you went abroad to study. How is it? Are you back for good?” He ran his eyes over her.
Clarissa didn’t know what to say. ‘Damn, why did I have to run into someone he knows as soon as I’m back? What am I going to do?’
Her only hope was that Dennis could quickly return to his meal and get himself drunk, then forget all about seeing her.
Damien rarely left the house at night, so she wasn’t too worried about running into him.
“Yeah, everything’s good. I’m back for an exam, and my friend’s buying me a meal.” Clarissa had just finished her sentence when she felt nauseous again. She turned back to the sink and started vomiting Dennis felt that it would be really awkward for him to remain here. “Well, Mrs. Lawrence, I still have some friends waiting for me, so I’ll make a move,” he said.
Clarissa nodded.
Dennis went back to his private room and sat down next to Damien.
“Is Mrs. Lawrence back? I saw her just now,” he said.
Damien was silent for a short while. “Yeah, she’s back. She’s having dinner with her friends.”
“You work fast, President Lawrence. You didn’t manage to get her pregnant when she was here, but she’s only gone abroad for such a short time, and she’s already pregnant. Come on, how often did you fly to Emmeria?”
“How’d you know that she’s pregnant?” Damien smiled, but his eyes were frosty.
“It was so obvious. Who could miss the way she was vomiting? She doesn’t look that far along, though. She isn’t showing yet.”
“Yeah.” Damien chuckled.
She was back!
She’d returned without letting a soul know. And she was pregnant with another man’s child. Clarissa had left four months ago, and if she was pregnant with his child, she would already be showing. Moreover, she had taken contraceptives to his face that day.
The chances of the baby being his were close to zero.
Joseph was in Emmeria as well.
If Dennis hadn’t happened to run into her on this night, she probably would’ve continued to play dead.
Clarissa went back to the private room and said to Lily, “I’ve had my fill. Let’s go.” “Are you feeling better?” Lily asked. “Which washroom did you go to? I couldn’t find you anywhere.”
“Oh, the one on the left-hand side. Come on, let’s go. I want to do a bit more reading before hitting the sack early. My exam’s tomorrow, after all.” “Alright, then.”
Landon drove Clarissa back to her hotel before dropping Lily off. Lily’s phone rang, and she almost threw it away in her panic. “What’s wrong? Answer it.” Landon watched as she trembled. “Have you seen a ghost or something?”
“It’s President Lawrence! If he wants me dead, I definitely won’t live to see tomorrow,” Lily said in fright.
