Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Grandpa Lawrence’s Final Three Months

Clarissa continued chatting with Grandpa Lawrence

He didn’t want her to leave, but he didn’t say anything

Around half past eight, he had already gone back to his room to rest. However, he kept holding, Clarissa’s hand and pulled her into the room with him,

People had the tendency to become more childlike the older they got Grandpa Lawrence had always been the educated, refined type, and Clarissa had never thought of him as childlike Now, however, she could feel it. The way he was reluctant to let her go reminded her of a child,

This made her feel like she was being very cruel.

When she came out of Grandpa Lawrence‘s room, she saw Damien still sitting on the sofa

“Come here for a second,” he said.

He then went upstairs.

Clarissa guessed he was going to get the divorce certificate for her, so she followed him.

Unexpectedly, in the bedroom, Damien merely sat down and lit a cigarette.

“Grandpa only has three months left, at most. You should consider spending this time with him.” He looked at her. Damien was her mother’s killer, but Grandpa Lawrence wasn’t. Clarissa didn’t say anything “This is the marital settlement agreement. I’ve already signed it, so you should have a look.” He handed her a stack of papers.

“Not the divorce certificate?” She looked angry.

“I don’t want anything to go wrong during Grandpa’s final three months. We’ve been putting on a show for so long, and you don’t want to fail on the eve of success, do you?” Damien said,

Clarissa didn’t want to drag things out, but this was between the two of them, after all. If he refused to get a divorce, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Moreover, he said they had only been putting on a show.

She had merely pretended to love him.

Clarissa scrutinized the agreement. She would have to spend the next three months with Grandpa Lawrence, after which she would get a hundred million dollars and two houses in Genovia that were two hundred square meters each.

That was a lot of money.

She would probably only be able to make that sort of money if she had started working millennia ago. Moreover, she was studying now and wasn’t making any money. She could only live off the twenty million dollars Damien had given her.

She didn’t want the money, though.

“I cheated on you, so I don’t deserve that much money,” she said, putting the agreement down.

“You’re aware that you cheated?” Damien’s gaze was cold and sharp “So why are you giving me so much money when you know that I cheated? I shouldn’t even get a single penny.” Her chest started to heave as she said this.

He knew that Joseph was also at Kortel University.

He knew that they had definitely seen each other. And he knew that the diamond pendant on Clarissa’s wrist was from Joseph. He even knew that she was pregnant with Joseph’s child. While on the phone, her tone was gentle and tender. The moment she hung up and spoke to Damien, her tone became distant and business-like.

“I’ll do it.” She added, “But before that, I have a few conditions. If you can agree to them, I’ll stay. If not, then I won’t be able to do it.”

“Name it.” “Firstly, there’s a time difference between Emmeria and Merania, so I’ll need to sleep in the day and study at night. Due to this, we have to sleep in separate rooms. Secondly, I’m pregnant, so you can’t lay a finger on me. If there’s a repeat of what happened last night, I’ll jump off a building. Thirdly, you have to give me the divorce certificate once everything is over. I’ll only return to Emmeria once I get it. I’m sure that a verbal promise is as binding as a written one, President Lawrence,” Clarissa said. “Fine. I’ll get someone to collect your stuff from the hotel tomorrow.”

Clarissa turned around mutely and went to the room next door without so much as a glance at him.

It was the one that Damien had made her sleep in alone before, one that she had previously feared.

But after enduring the pain of losing her mother and the loneliness of being on her own in Emmeria, she suddenly didn’t feel scared anymore. This was probably how people grew up and matured-by experiencing pain and sorrow.

Clarissa lay down on the bed and covered herself with sheets. In her sleep, a nightmare assaulted her.

It was one she often had just after Theresa’s death. It was back to haunt her again!

In her nightmare, she saw Theresa falling off the building, covered in blood. She also saw Damien laughing at the top of the building.

She was jolted out of her nightmare, panicked.

It was only then when she realized she could hear noises coming from Damien’s room. They went on for a long time.
