CHAPTER 456 I*******M

Clarissa soon went back to Genovia, intending to stay at Lily’s place.

Lily didn’t look too pleased when she picked Clarissa up.

“I’m surprised you still remember this place. It’s hard to find someone as heartless and cruel as you in

this world now, you know. Your education’s so much more important than everything else, after all,” she

muttered.

Clarissa knew she was in the wrong, so she didn’t retort.

“Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal now that I’m back here?” They were old friends. There was no

need to stand on ceremony.

“No. My housekeeper’s a great cook, so why should I waste money on you? Come on, let’s go.”

Clarissa followed Lily home. Landon was still at work.

Lily checked her watch. “He should be back soon.”

After getting married, Landon moved out of his parent's home. He made some money with his gaming

company, and used it to buy a duplex apartment. Their little family of three was very happy here, and

now, Lily was pregnant with another baby.

She told her son, Eric, to greet Clarissa.

“He’s so big already?” Clarissa exclaimed in delight. She couldn’t help feeling bitter as she was

reminded of Neil. He didn’t know who she was at all.

“Yeah. I may not have been the best student or employee, but there’s no denying I’m the happiest

person alive right now. Landon hands his salary to me every month, and I’m in charge of the family’s

finances.” Lily looked pleased with herself.

“Alright, alright. No one’s happier than you are. Don’t forget that I have to be your kid’s godmother.”

Clarissa had a cheeky look on her face.

Now that she was with Lily, she was back to her old self.

“Who is it that wants to be my son’s godmother?” A voice rang out from the entrance.

“Clarissa?” Landon’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “You want to be his godmother? Do you know who

his godfather is?”

“Who is it?” Clarissa asked.

It couldn’t be who she thought it was, could it?

She had never expected him to be leisurely enough to be someone’s godfather!

Lily cleared her throat. She and Landon didn’t say anything else. Content provided by .

Their housekeeper truly was a good cook. Her food wasn’t as heavy as outside food, and it suited

Clarissa’s tastes. She enjoyed the meal greatly.

“Ha, Clarissa, look at your son. He’s so mischievous,” Landon said as he looked at his phone.

“What?”

He showed Clarissa his phone and flipped through the photos.

Indeed, they were of Neil.

“Where did you see them?” Clarissa asked.

“President Lawrence’s Instagram. He constantly posts photos of Neil to show off nowadays.”

“I haven’t checked my Instagram,” Clarissa said. She was trying to conceal her awkwardness.

It would be embarrassing for Landon and Lily to find out she wasn’t following Damien’s Instagram.

Clarissa had two phone numbers. One was from three years back, and she barely used it. When she

had first gone to Lotharia, she would occasionally check whether anyone had contacted her, but she

never replied. Gradually, people stopped contacting her on that number, and she stopped paying

attention to it. Moreover, she had already started using a new number.

Lily could see how awkward Clarissa felt, so she quickly changed the topic. “Clarissa, are you still in

contact with Luke?”

“No. Since I’m back here, I’m going to visit my mother’s grave. I’ll probably have to see him as well. We

can’t just become strangers, can we?” Clarissa didn’t know how Luke was currently doing.

“Speaking of your brother… No, forget it. Let’s not talk about him.” Lily felt like she had said too much

and continued eating.

This made Clarissa’s heart sink. At the same time, she felt guilty. She guessed that Luke must have

done something to offend Lily.

Actually, what Lily wanted to say was that there was a time when her car had broken down, and there

happened to be a mechanic’s workshop nearby, so she drove there to get the car fixed. It was a small

problem that should’ve cost around a thousand dollars to fix, but Luke had charged her a whopping five

thousand.

As the car had already been fixed, Lily had no choice but to pay up.

Clarissa felt ashamed on Luke’s behalf, but she still sent him a WhatsApp message.

Clarissa: [Luke, let’s go visit Mom’s grave one day.]

Visiting Theresa’s grave was not her main objective. She mostly wanted to see Luke, since it had been

a few years since they’d last seen each other. Despite everything he had done, Clarissa still thought of

him as her family.
