Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 588

Soon, it was four in the evening.

Having achieved her goal, Chanel said, “I’ll be going home for now, okay?”

She had purposely idled the time away until this hour before dropping by Damien’s place. She only wanted to delay things so that it would be late enough for him to offer her to stay overnight.

Just then, Damien snapped out of his musings. He checked the time and said, “It’s past four. It’ll be night by the time you reach Florin, and it won’t be safe for a woman to be alone.”

Chanel’s mind was running. She was thinking about how she should pretend to politely reject but find a way to stay should Damien invite her to spend the night.

“I’ll get the driver to take you home,” Damien finished.

He was already calling the driver.

Chanel was speechless. She gritted her teeth tightly, seething in silence.

“But it’s so late now. It won’t be safe for the driver either,” Chanel said after Damien hung up.

“It’s fine. He’ll stay at a hotel.”

Chanel had nothing to say to that.

Twenty minutes later, the driver arrived. He called Damien to say that he had parked outside.

Damien walked Chanel to the car.

His hands were in his pockets as he stood politely by the door. After the car left, Damien didn’t spend any more time waiting. He went back into the house.

He went upstairs. As he did, thoughts of killing Clarissa if she was pregnant with that man’s spawn filled his mind.

He was both regretful of having told Clarissa that he had married, and that he hadn’t actually married Chanel. Now, he was stuck between two extremes. This was really unlike him.

Clarissa was absent for the next meeting at New East Corporation as usual.

She had given the same excuse to Director Jones, saying that she wasn’t feeling well.

This time, Damien didn’t force her to come. However, his gaze kept flitting to her empty seat during the meeting.

He kept playing with a pencil. As he twirled the pencil, it dropped to the ground.

Now, he rarely had business trips to Florin. If there was something to handle, he would send Ray in his stead.
