Love in Twilight

Chapter 60

Chapter 60 She Knew She Had No Right Clarissa stayed in the Lawrence residence for several more

days. One day, Damien informed her that his grandfather’s birthday would arrive soon.

“Are we throwing a huge party for Grandpa? What should I do?” Clarissa asked seriously. “What

Grandpa hates most is wasting money on grandeur. The three of us will be the only oncs celebrating

that day together.”

Clarissa went to take a look at the calendar, only to realize that it was a Sunday. On Friday night, she

specifically went to the mall to preorder a massage bed for Damien’s grandfather. The massage bed Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

would be sent to the mansion on Sunday.

Clarissa even planned to whip up a seast for the old man. On Saturday night, Damien tormented her in

bed until it was past midnight, causing her to sleep in as a result. She finally woke up at ten o’clock in

the morning the next day.

Clarissa stood near the stairs sleepily, having noticed Grandpa Lawrence sitting in the living room.

There was a bowl of noodles on the table.

She initially thought that the caretaker made this for him.

Just as she arrived downstairs, Madelynn could be seen walking out with a plate of cooked fish. She

was wearing an apron and a pair of indoor slippers.

“Oh? You’ve just woken up, huh? Have you forgotten that today is Grandpa Lawrence’s birthday?”

Madelynn said in a joking manner. “….” Clarissa was about to relort that she didn’t forget about the

auspicious day, but she realized that she barely did a thing today since she had just woken up.

“Grandpa” Knowing that she had woken up late, Clarissa shot Grandpa Lawrence an apologetic look.

He smiled kindly at her “It’s fine if you don’t remember my birthday. Clary. This is only the first year.”

Clarissa knew that Grandpa Lawrence didn’t have much time to live. Perhaps there wouldn’t be a

second or a third birthday to celebrate in the future.

To think she had missed out a good chunk of the most important birthday just by sleeping in…

That thought made her heart go heavy with regret and sorrow.

“It’s all right. I know you care about my birthday, Clary. Don’t think too much about it. I wasn’t able to

finish my noodles in the morning, so you can help me finish them. You must be hungry since you

haven’t had any breakfast you. Both you and Damien are still very young, so I completely understand

your situation,” Grandpa Lawrence continued patiently.

Naturally, Clarissa knew what he meant when he claimed that lie knew her situation. Tears brimmed in

her cyes, but she refused to let them fall. She replied bashfully, “Grandpa…”

Al that moment, Madelynn exited the kitchen with another dish in her hands. She noticed how close

Grandpa Lawrence and Clarissa were, and had cavesdropped on their conversation.

Upon listening to their words, her expression became stormy in an instant.

Then again, she was an aciress, She quickly dispelled that expression and replaced it with a bright

“Where’s my husband?” Clarissa look nowhere to be seen.

She said those three words out loud on purpose for Madelynn to hear.

Clarissa know very well that Madelynn would always provoke her at every chance. Not only did the

latter accuse her of having an umbrella that was an imitation product of a brand, but she also tattled on

lier lo Damien about her interactions with Josephi and the fact that she wanted to dump Damien to her.

“Oh, your husband’s gone out to buy condiments for me. There aren’t enough condiments at home,”

when Madelynn talked about Damien, she sounded like he belonged to her.

“Oh,” Clarissa instinctively knew that Madelynn’s tone was off, so she chose to be nonchalant about it,

“I woke up early in the morning just to cook noodles for Grandpa Lawrence. Now, I’m preparing a meal

for all of you. Wait for a moment, okay? The food’s almost done.” After that, Madelynn returned to the

kitchen.

Right now, she looked like the lady of the house.

Clarissa stared at the magnificent spread that took up the entire dining table. Some of the dishes

consisted of roasted vegetables, lamb chops, Bimbo, steak, baked potatoes, and grilled lisli.

Altogether, there were over Twenty dishes on the table.

Clarissa should’ve been the one who prepared the feast.

Madelynn’s intention was very clear. She wanted to replace Clarissa’s status in the family.

At that time, the massage bed that Clarissa had ordered finally arrived at the mansion. The workers

soon moved it into Grandpa Lawrence’s room.

Naturally, the old man was very happy, “I love anything that you buy for me, Clary,” he said jovially.

Clarissa was smiling as well.

Madelynn decided to pipe up with another joke. “Did you just order it for Grandpa Lawrence? At least

you made it up with a good gill, what’s with your sleep in and all.”

What she meant was that Clarissa had totally forgotten about Old Mr Lawrence’s birthday, Thai

massage bed was just a last-minute pill that she had ordered for him.

As Clarissa know how much of als ich Madelynu was, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with the latter.

Grandpa Lawrence never liked that double-faced actress, anyway.

Once Damien returned home, he went to the kitchen to deposit the condiments,

In the kitchen, Madelynı noticed that he was covered with dust, Shesimpered, “Look at you!

How on earth did you become this filthy? Let me clean you up.” After that, she grabbed her apron and

placed one hand on Damien’s shoulder. Then, she used her other hand to start dusting his clothes.

Clarissa witnessed the entire interaction, but she pretended to not notice them. All she could feel was a

swell of putrid jealousy forming in her heart. Then again, she knew she had no right.
