Chapter 449 At This Moment, the Moon Shone Brightly Ray could be considered a competent nanny.
Whilst Damien was busy talking business, he would take pictures of everything Neil had done. He would also take pictures of Neil‘s meals to show Damien that he wasn’t fooling around.
On this day, Ray had brought Neil to the park to play with the other kids. It was obvious from the photos that Neil had a lot of fun. He was even sweating profusely.
Ray suddenly came into Damien’s bedroom. “Oh, right. When I went back, Mrs. Faber asked me whether you managed to see Caleb’s crush.”
Damien paused, but he didn‘t say anything, “Close the door when you leave!”
Ray was speechless.
After a moment’s consideration, Damien made a collage of the photos Ray had sent to him and posted it on his Instagram with a simple caption. Damien: (My three-year-old.) He didn‘t normally post anything, and every time he did, he had his motives. Ever since Clarissa left, he regularly posted photos of Neil. It didn‘t matter to him whether Clarissa was still using her old account, because he had already blocked her. He didn‘t want her to see any of his posts.
He wanted her to see what it felt like to be excluded from his and Neil‘s lives.
Didn’t she think she was oh-so-strong?
The next night, at Rainforest.
Chanel spent the whole day trying to make herself look presentable without making it too obvious. She was extremely nervous.
After finally settling on a dress that was simple but not too plain, she met up with Clarissa. Clarissa got into her car, feeling that she was just like a pimp as Damien had said. This date felt so awkward.
But Chanel had previously said she was head over heels for her husband. Plus, she and Damien were already in their thirties. Wouldn‘t it be weird to still be obsessed with love and romance? This was just a simple reunion between classmates.
After spending three years in Lotharia, Clarissa had her fill of their cuisine. Since her return to Merania, she had eaten most of her meals at the university‘s canteen. It wasn‘t every day that
she got to eat exquisite dishes like these.
As Damien spoke to Chanel, his gaze would occasionally land on Clarissa. She wanted to have some crab cakes, and it was brought to her on the turntable. She looked up and saw that Damien was the one who had turned it over to her, so she nodded at him as thanks. When Clarissa was half full, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Lisa, her student.
She excused herself and answered the phone. Lisa wanted to ask Clarissa some questions about Clarissa‘s previous lecture. She said she hadn‘t managed to find anything on the topic, even after scouring through all sorts of information. Clarissa felt that this was going to be a long call, so she walked out of Rainforest. The restaurant wasn’t a big one. It was only after stepping out that she noticed the moon hanging high up in the sky. As Lisa spoke, Clarissa hummed in acknowledgment and told Lisa which books she could refer to.
Without even realizing it, the conversation went on for forty minutes.
At this moment, the moon shone brightly.
