Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 299 Marriage

Clarissa made her way downstairs to find Raymond sipping on some coffee.

“What is it?” asked Clarissa coldly.

Raymond looked at her, his expression thoughtful.

Ever since he brought Clarissa back, his relationship with her had been rocky.

He could not treat her like he did with Wyatt or Wilbur.

After all, Clarissa was his daughter. He couldn’t possibly treat her like she was his son.

“How are you and Charles getting along?” he asked.

“Hold it right there!” Clarissa was displeased. “I only like him as a brother. I’d suggest that you stop your meddling.”

“I’m thinking about your future,” Raymond said solemnly. “I raised Charles myself. I have full confidence in his character. If you are with him, you won’t encounter any issues in the future.”

Of this, he was very certain.

Clarissa was furious. “Listen here, old man. I don’t like Charles that way. He is like a brother to me. If you even think of arranging our marriage, I’ll do what mom did. Maybe you’d be happy seeing me dead!”

“You insolent brat!” Raymond slammed his fist on the table. “I’m your father! How can you speak to me like this?”

“Why can’t I?” retorted Clarissa angrily. “I have a better idea. Why don’t you just kick me out? Let me live as the outcast I once was! See if I even care!”

Raymond’s face was contorted with fury.

Clarissa clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed.

“Is something the matter?” Charles had heard the commotion and hurried over. “What are you two arguing about, Godfather?”

“You’re back,” said Raymond kindly. “It’s nothing.”

Clarissa turned on her heel and ran outside.

Feeling rather helpless, Raymond muttered, “That child hates me, Charles. Please help me persuade her. Don’t let her get too angry at me.”

Charles nodded.
