Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 529

After breakfast, Clarissa washed the dishes. When she was done, she said to Neil, “Listen to your Daddy, okay? I have to go back to the university to spend some time with my friend, and I’m busy with classes. You and Daddy can come to the university to have lunch with me in the afternoon.”

“Okay. Bye, Mommy.”

After saying goodbye to Neil and Damien, Clarissa suddenly felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. After all, it had been four years since Theresa’s death. The hatred, resentment, and anger she had felt at that time had faded with time. Though she still felt uncomfortable at Madelynn’s death and Lucy’s imprisonment, Damien had told her that he had done it for her sake.

In truth, it wasn’t really possible for her to move on from these things, but she wanted to give it a shot. She wanted to find an excuse for Damien and for her feelings for him.

The moment she got to the paved path before Marble Garden, an elderly person stopped her.

He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and his hair had turned white. He wore glasses and an expensive-looking wool overcoat. He looked like a respected lecturer, but Clarissa was sure she had never seen him before.

She didn’t think much of it, since there were plenty of people that she didn’t know at the university. However, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of affection for elderly people. Perhaps it was because of Grandpa Lawrence.

She wanted to walk past him and didn’t notice that he was staring at her.

His gaze was probing, curious, and admiring.

“Miss Clarissa Johnson?” Just as Clarissa walked past him, he called out to her.

“Huh? Do you know me?” She turned to face him. Perhaps it was because she and Damien had made up as well as the good impression she had of the old man. She smiled at him.

“Do you have some time to spare? I’d like to talk to you about something,” he said.

“Me?” She pointed at herself. She was sure she didn’t know him.
