Chapter 64 How to Teach My Wife "What are you happy about?" Damien asked Clarissa. Il was evening, and the two were on their way back to the mansion. Clarissa wore a delighted expression laced with a tinge of smug triumph. "That was your first time praising me. Of course I'd be smug about it!" She couldn't suppress the clation on lier (ace.

"You're overthinking." Even so, a small smile tugged at the corner of Damien's lips.

"Why would you say that?" "I don't want anyone gossiping about my inability to educate my wife," Damien continued lightly

Clarissa turned her lead to look out of the window. She decided to ignore Darnien after that.

He always had the tendency to spoil the mood with unnecessary comments.

"Where are you going for your business trip?" Clarissa asked, changing the topic. "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I'm returning to Florin. Don't tell Grandpa anything about this." "Isn't it just a business trip? Why don't you want to let him know?" Clarissa cocked her head and looked at Damien, somewhat surprised. "Just don't say anything to him. Tell him I'm on a business trip."

"Wait, so it's not a business trip?"

Damien no longer answered hier questions. He merely stared ahead of him, looking like he didn't want to be disturbed at the moment.

Clarissa thought angrily, 'Fine! Keep it a secret, then! Hmph!'

After that, she spent the next three weeks in the Lawrence residence. Nothing much happened during that period of time. What surprised and delighted Clarissa was that Grandpa Lawrence's condition didn't deteriorate at all. In fact, he was showing signs of recovery. Every morning, he would take regular walks outside. He would also go for an occasional swim or two while paying attention to his diet. It was obvious that he had the confidence and a strong resolve to fight his illness. There were times when Clarissa would go on walks and swim with Grandpa Lawrence.

She even told him one time, "Grandpa, you're really impressive! Not only are you overcoming your fate, but you're also enjoying every aspect of your life while battling your illness!" All Grandpa Lawrence did in return was smile Clarissa had a feeling that he wanted to meet his great-grandson very badly, hence his motivation to keep living. What if he found out that she wasn't pregnant with Damien's child? Just how disappointed would he be?

Over the past twenty days or so, Clarissa visited the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics under the pretense of getting a check-up.

Meanwhile, Dannten finally went on luis so-called business trip. But on the first day of his trip, Madelynn surprised Clarissa by inviting the latter out to a meal.

The former had called Clarissa on her phone that day.

As she was a victim of Madelynn's provocation, Clarissa didn't have a good impression of Madelynn at all. Thus, Clarissa refused to accept Madelynn's invitation.

"Do you know why Damien went on a trip?" Madelynn asked on the phone.

It looked like Madelynn knew all the minute details of Damien's schedule. Clarissa could even detect a hint of smugness from her tone.

"Of course I know all about it. Stop beating around the bush, Miss York." Clarissa's tone was one of hostility. If she accepted the invitation, there was a chance that Madelynn would hire someone to sexually harass her and take her nudes before spreading them across Genovia in order to humiliate her.

"Don't paint such an ugly picture of me, Miss Johnson. It'll be a certain someone's death anniversary in a couple of days. I'd like to talk about that with you" Clarissa thought, 'It's probably not his grandparents' death anniversary. If it's related to his deceased grandmother, then lie wouldn't have told me to not let Grandpa know about it.'

Whose was it?

Curiosity drove Clarissa into wanting to know more. Besides, she wanted to see just what kind of scheme Madelynn cooked up this time.

Madelynn invited Clarissa to the most romantic open-air restaurant in Genovia, one equipped with a fantastic rooftop garden.

When Clarissa arrived at the restaurant, Madelynn was already there. She was clad in a white dress, giving her the impression of an ethereal goddess Clarissa found it odd, for Madelynn tended to appear in public as a seductive and charming woman. Why would the latter go out of her way to wear a white dress? "You're here, Miss Johnson," Madelynn said. All this time, she had been referring to Clarissa as Miss Johnson.

"Why did you invite me here? I'm worried that the paparazzi miglit take pictures of me if I stick around with you too long," Clarissa looked around her surroundings, vigilance written all over her face.

Madelynn threw Clarissa a faint smile. "You're funny, Miss Jolinson. This place is member exclusive. One year of membership here costs over two hundred thousand dollars. The paparazzi won't be able to slip here."

"Then, what is it?" Clarissa felt like she was in a tiger's den at the moment. All she wanted to do was to hear Madelynn out and leave as soon as she could.

"Do you know the reason I'm wearing white clothes today?"

"Nope." Clarissa shook her head. "Tomorrow is my father's death anniversary." Clarissa's mind went blank for a long time. So that was the reason why Madelynn was wearing white today! Perhaps it was also the reason why Damien decided to go on his trip. "Death anniversary? Did your father pass away?" Clarissa asked.

anniversary of my dad's death. He would do the same thing every year without fail. As for me, I don't have the courage to return home during this time of year. I'm afraid that I might cry so much that I'd be bloated like a pufferfish. My dad saved Damien's life in the past, so Damien bought a few properties for my mom in Florin. Every year, he'd go back to visit my mom." Madelynn continued, "Damien and I were in a relationship that lasted for a year. Back then, we swore we'd love each other till the end of time. He worked so hard in his career just so he could marry me, but I was angry at him for not spending enough time with me and ended up going overseas. He spammed me with over a dozen calls per day, and he even went all the way to a different country just to look for me. In the end, I never returned. That was why Damien got mad at me. He told me that if I didn't return in a year, he'd go and find another woman to replace me. Now that I'm back, I discover that someone else is now Mrs. Lawrence. A few days ago, he told me that he'd marry me after some days." Clarissa thought, 'She's probably talking about the past because she wants me to abort the baby.'

Frankly speaking, Clarissa knew a little about Damien and Madelynn's past. Damien still had Madelynn's pictures decorating his mansion, whereas Madelynn still missed him and wanted Clarissa to divorce him.

Naturally, Clarissa also knew that Damien planned to marry Madelynn in the near future.
