Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Someone Like Her Doesn‘t deserve to Have Children

Clarissa was done with her yoga session in the afternoon. Then, she sent Leah a Whatsapp message since she wanted to go home.

However, the moment she arrived at the lobby, she had the urge to use the restroom.

Not many people worked on the first floor, and the restrooms there were rarely frequented. So, the restrooms there were quite small compared to the restrooms on the other floors.

Just as Clarissa was done using the restroom, she was about to exit her stall when she heard two voices drifting from the sink area.

“Have you heard? Clarissa came to the company just now.”

“Yeah, I heard the news! Her stomach is super big!”

“Her mother died a gruesome death, right? Everyone here knows that her mother didn‘t die in an accident. To think she still views Mr. Lawrence as her husband despite what he had done... They‘re even living together, for heaven‘s sake! She also plans to give birth to not one, but two of his children! I don‘t know what she‘s thinking about. Doesn‘t she care about her dead mother anymore?”

“Well, if you were in her shoes, wouldn‘t you use this opportunity to produce more children for Mr. Lawrence in order to stabilize your status at home?”

“Then again, who‘s the father of her babies? Didn‘t the rumors say something about Joseph Moore being the father?”

“Are you dumb? Why would Mr. Lawrence bring Clarissa to the company if Joseph Moore was the father? Besides, HR has already made arrangements for her to work here. She‘ll be on maternity leave even if she doesn‘t work for now, so she‘ll still get her salary.”

“Ugh! Why can‘t I get the same treatment?”

The voices soon faded into the distance. Clarissa could no longer hear their conversation.

In the past, she wouldn‘t have cared about people who gossiped behind her back.

But when the ladies mentioned Theresa‘s death, Clarissa could feel the most vulnerable spot in her heart twitching in pain. Their words left another fresh scar on her already tattered heart.

‘I can‘t believe I chose to disregard Mom‘s death by letting my heart make my decisions for me! Am Theartless for doing this to Mom?‘

When Clarissa exited the restroom, Leah was in the middle of calling her.

Clarissa quickly noticed Leah in the lobby, so she waved at Leah immediately. Leah

disconnected the outgoing call after that. On the way home, Clarissa kept thinking about Theresa.

Ever since her mother had passed away, she had grown even more mature. She no longer resembled her former self.

When Theresa was still alive, Clarissa felt like a child.

Now, she was a full–fledged adult.

After Clarissa went home, she used her fatigue as an excuse to retire to her room early. She also locked the door behind her.

She could hear Damien arriving home afterward, but she decided to ignore him.

He knocked on her room door, only to hear her tell him that she would be resting early due to exhaustion. Damien was also required to sleep in another bedroom for the next few days.

This time, he kept his cool instead of kicking down Clarissa‘s door.

When Damien left for work on the next day, Clarissa had yet to wake up.

A few days passed just like that. Damien could sense something was wrong with Clarissa. He knew she was struggling with her internal dilemma.

He decided to let her be.
