Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 470

It was Friday, and Clarissa didn’t have any classes. She stayed at home, doing research for her paper.

Someone knocked on the door, and she opened it.

“Neil?” She was both surprised and elated to see him.

When Neil saw her, he immediately hugged her. There was a hint of longing in his eyes, and Clarissa’s heart melted at the sight of him.

She bent down and pressed her forehead to his, tears welling up in her eyes. She held them back.

Clarissa hadn’t been too bothered throughout the three years she had been apart from him, but she couldn’t let him go now that she had the chance to meet him. This was why she had agreed to watch him when Damien had asked, despite her reservations.

“Neil, where’s your daddy?”

She was terrified that Neil would end up in a blind spot neither she nor Damien could see.

“He dropped me off at the corner of the staircase before going back downstairs,” Neil said.

“Oh, that’s good.” She glanced at the staircase. There was no sign of Damien.

Perhaps he was afraid she would turn him down if he were around, which was why he left after dropping Neil off.

Neil noticed there was a huge bookshelf when he stepped into the room.

“Neil, do you want to eat anything? Or would you like to read a book?” Clarissa had never truly spent time with children, so she didn’t really know what to do.

“Wow, pretty lady! You must be rich. You have a ton of books!” Neil exclaimed.

Clarissa laughed. “Yeah. Does your daddy still read all the time?”

He cocked his head. “You know about that?”

She felt a little awkward. “Just a little.”

“Daddy still loves to read on the sofa, but I don’t know what he does in bed.” He added, “I don’t sleep in the same bed as him. Pretty lady, since you know he loves reading, do you know where he reads?”
