Love in Twilight의 모든 챕터: 챕터 221 - 챕터 230

Lily and Landon went to see Clarissa off when it was time for her to leave the country.She hadn’t seen Damien since the day she took the morning-after pill.She didn’t miss him, either.Clarissa buried Theresa in the deepest part of her heart and put a smile on to show the outside world. She had never left the country before. This was her first time.Damien had already found her a university, but she wasn’t going to go there. She had secretly applied to another university’s finance faculty. If she wanted to get her master's, she had to attend a one-year preparatory course beforehand.She would take three or four years to complete her master's.By then, she would be twenty-eight years old.Rich men like Damien liked to go for pretty, young things.She would give him enough time and space to find someone new.At that time, he would be looking forward to kicking her to the curb.“Clarissa, don’t forget to keep in touch with us,” Lily said worriedly.“Alright, alright. Don’t

Clarissa’s hand stilled. “President Peterson?”“Yes, it’s me. I heard that you went abroad to study. How is it? Are you back for good?” He ran his eyes over her.Clarissa didn’t know what to say. ‘Damn, why did I have to run into someone he knows as soon as I’m back? What am I going to do?’Her only hope was that Dennis could quickly return to his meal and get himself drunk, then forget all about seeing her.Damien rarely left the house at night, so she wasn’t too worried about running into him.“Yeah, everything’s good. I’m back for an exam, and my friend’s buying me a meal.” Clarissa had just finished her sentence when she felt nauseous again. She turned back to the sink and started vomiting.Dennis felt that it would be really awkward for him to remain here.“Well, Mrs. Lawrence, I still have some friends waiting for me, so I’ll make a move,” he said.Clarissa nodded.Dennis went back to his private room and sat down next to Damien.“Is Mrs. Lawrence back? I saw her just n

Clarissa continued chatting with Grandpa Lawrence.He didn’t want her to leave, but he didn’t say anything.Around half past eight, he had already gone back to his room to rest. However, he kept holding Clarissa’s hand and pulled her into the room with him.People had the tendency to become more childlike the older they got. Grandpa Lawrence had always been the educated, refined type, and Clarissa had never thought of him as childlike. Now, however, she could feel it. The way he was reluctant to let her go reminded her of a child.This made her feel like she was being very cruel.When she came out of Grandpa Lawrence’s room, she saw Damien still sitting on the sofa.“Come here for a second,” he said.He then went upstairs.Clarissa guessed he was going to get the divorce certificate for her, so she followed him.Unexpectedly, in the bedroom, Damien merely sat down and lit a cigarette.“Grandpa only has three months left, at most. You should consider spending this time with hi

Clarissa went back to her bedroom and sat down for her class.She didn’t know whether Madelynn had gone to Damien’s bedroom, nor did she know whether they had done anything.She didn’t particularly care, but she couldn’t stop her mind from wandering a little.Life continued like this for a month and a half.During the day, she would sleep while Damien would go to work.Their schedules were completely at odds, so they didn’t see each other for days on end.Clarissa saw Grandpa Lawrence every day, though. When she woke up in the evening, she would go downstairs to eat and chat with him. She would tell him about her studies.“Clary, I know you went abroad to study because you were upset about your mother’s death. If you come across any problems over there, come home, okay? I’ll be waiting for you.” He patted her hand.“Okay.” Clarissa was touched.‘How can someone as kind as Grandpa have a grandson like Damien, who’s so ruthless and cruel?’On Saturday, Clarissa finally got to r

The next day, Damien went to work.Clarissa packed her luggage and left the villa.She had already booked her plane ticket the night before.Before the plane took flight, she received a text message from her bank. Damien had transferred one hundred million dollars to her account.Aside from that, his assistant had sent her a WhatsApp message. He had sent her the locations of the two houses in Genovia, along with photos of the house deeds and the details of the ownership transfer.It had been a long time since Clarissa had last received a message from this number.In fact, she had been very confused when she had first received his messages because she had saved his number as “President Shaw, computer company”.She had wondered why he was sending her information about houses.President Shaw: [I’m President Lawrence’s assistant, and this is my personal number. If you face any problems in the future, Mrs. Lawrence, you can always contact me at this number.]Clarissa smiled bitterl
