You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 299

The woman heard her son’s remarks but decided to play dumb. I’ll see what other funny ideas you can come up with!

“Mommy, Mommy…”

Clarissa remained silent.

That made the little boy upset, so he pretended to cry.

“Mommy has lost her soul… Mommy has lost her soul!”

Pfft! Clarissa couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

His acting was so exaggerated that it became comical.

Clarissa recalled that this was how Damian’s grandmother behaved when Damian was startled by the sound of firecrackers. I can’t believe that this little brat actually remembers it and uses this against me!

She smiled at Damian.

Surprised, Damian’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “You’re awake, Mommy?”

“What do you mean I’ve lost my soul? Where did you learn that? I’m working, so stop spouting nonsense.”

“But Mommy, you ignored me…”

Earlier, Damian went to look for Clarissa to play. However, the latter was too busy to entertain him.

“I’ll be very busy with work recently. If you want to play, you can look for Mrs. Lawson or Mr. Nick. Otherwise, you can wait for your Daddy to come home and play with him.”

Damian pouted, looking extremely upset as he hung his head and continued eating.

Clarissa smiled resignedly and turned to Matthew. “Yael is admitted to the hospital. Perhaps, she has overworked herself. I’ll be putting more of my time in the studio for now. You’ll have to take care of Damian.”

He nodded and asked, “Should I bring him to my company?”

Clarissa shook her head at his question. “No, he has to go to school in the morning and take his afternoon nap once he’s home. It’d be tiring for him to travel to your company after that and return home again.”

“He can take his nap at the company. I know what you’re worried about; no one will see him.”

Clarissa pondered for a few seconds before replying, “All right.”

While the adults were discussing, Damian looked up and wondered if they were talking about him.

The woman wasn’t lying when she said that she was busy.

There was a lot of work to be done, so much so that she had to pull an all-nighter.

Luckily, Yael could guide her through the phone. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything.

After her discussion with the publisher, she returned to the studio and heard the laughter of a little boy.

Clarissa followed the voice and saw a few of the staff gathered together. In the middle of the group, the voice of the little boy came. “Thank you, Ms. Mandy. You’re a nice person. I like you.”

“Don’t you like me, Damian?”

“Yes. I like all of you because you’re all pretty and nice to me…”

“Aww, you’re such a darling. Come here, Damian. Let me give you a kiss.”

Clarissa was at a loss for words. This little one came here to flirt.

“What are all of you doing?”

The group was startled by Clarissa’s sudden appearance. Looking excited, Mandy exclaimed, “Clarissa, look at this cutie. Damian, this is Ms. Clarissa. She’s a beauty. You—”

“Mommy!”

Before she could finish introducing them to each other, the boy hopped off from his seat and ran towards his mother.

Clarissa instantly bent down and hugged him.

“Why are you here, Darling?”

“Mr. Donnie sent me here. Mommy, I miss you. I love you so much.”

“I love you too. Did you come here with Daddy? What is he doing? Why did he let Mr. Donnie send you here?”

“Oh, how I miss you so, Mommy…”

He said nothing else besides, “I miss you.”

But Clarissa was suspicious as she stared at the pitiful look he put on.

“Did you do something bad, Darling? Did you get in trouble?”

A wicked smile instantly crept up his face. He grinned from ear to ear, revealing a row of white teeth.

The corner of her lips twitched, knowing that this brat must have gotten into trouble.

Nonetheless, she said nothing about it and picked him up instead. Only then did she notice the shocked faces of her colleagues.

“C-Clarissa, t-that’s your son?”

“Who’s the father, Clarissa?”

Mandy knew the answer to it right after she asked. Those questions which had been bugging her seemed to have their answers.

“I-Is it M-Mr. Tyson?”

Clarissa nodded with a smile. “Why are all of you so shocked? Didn’t Donnie say anything when he sent Damian here earlier? You brought him in just like that?”

“Mr. Sheldon led Damian out of the elevator when his phone rang. After he saw me, he merely nodded at me and went back upstairs,” she said in confusion. “I thought Damian was his son. Anyway, Damian is a sweet talker. We are all smitten with the boy.”

That was why no one asked him about his father. Clarissa had returned before they could even ask.

While Damian returned to play with Mandy, Clarissa gave Matthew a call.

On the other side of the phone, his apologetic voice sounded, “Are you back at the studio? Is Damian okay?”

“Yes, he’s enjoying himself. Did he get into trouble, though? I asked him about it, but he only smiled in response. You know, the typical reaction he gives when he gets into trouble.”

Matthew chuckled at that. “He tore one of my important agreements and doodled on it.”

“You should have told him that he shouldn’t touch your stuff.”

“I assumed my son is obedient. I even told him to do whatever he pleases,” he said somewhat self- mockingly.

“Oh, dear!” Clarissa instantly burst into laughter. “Don’t you know that your son is best at acting cute? He’s as naughty as a little boy can be and knows no boundaries! He is so mischievous that sometimes I wish I could just disown him!”

She didn’t pity her husband at all.

Matthew didn’t spend a lot of time with Damian. Most of the time, he would let Damian do whatever he wanted. The boy seemed pretty obedient then. However, on second thought, it was probably because Clarissa was on the watch.

But he turned into a brat the moment she let go of him and started to cause trouble.

Matthew was exasperated as he massaged his temples.

“I looked upset earlier; I wonder if I have frightened him. Donnie brought him away because he thought I was angry. I wanted to talk to him, but I was afraid Damian is angry with me.”

“You don’t have to be so anxious. Sometimes, we have to give him a little scare. Just you wait. Once we get home, he’ll come flattering you,” she said with a smile.

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ll let you get back to your work. He can hang out here.”

After hanging up, Clarissa noticed that her son was still busy flirting with her colleagues. She warned him to be good and went to busy herself with work.

……

Matthew finished his work on time and went to pick up his wife and son downstairs. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was his first time at the place in three years.

Mandy and the others were seniors in the studio. They had seen him previously, so they weren’t shocked to see him. They were happy that Clarissa and Matthew were still together.

However, the newcomers were staring at him. Mr. Tyson, one of the eligible bachelors in D City. Oh, how many women dream of being with him!

Although they worked in the same building, it was rare to catch a glimpse of him, let alone be in such close vicinity.

Mandy and the rest quickly pulled them away, leaving space for the family.

Matthew carried Damian in his arms. True enough, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

“I miss you, Daddy. I love you so much. You’re so handsome. Here, I’ll give you something yummy…”

He was saying all the nice things, hoping that his father wouldn’t be angry at him.

In the end, Matthew couldn’t pull off his serious look. His cold heart melted at the sight of his cute son.

He kissed Damian and smiled.

“I love you too, Damian. I’m not angry at you, so don’t be afraid. I wasn’t going to scold you earlier.”

“I know, Daddy. You love me the most.”

Clarissa leaned against the doorframe as she watched the corny scene unfold before her eyes. Oh, my goosebumps!

“All right, that’s enough. Both of you should head home first. I’m heading to Yael’s to ask her some questions. Don’t wait up and have your dinner first. I’ll be late.”

Matthew and Damian waved at her in unison.

“Bye, Darling.”

“Bye, Mommy.”

After they left, the staff ran out, all of their hearts melted from the earlier sight.

“How can they be so gentle, cute, and handsome? Who needs to watch that father and son reality series when we have them! Clarissa, you should suggest Mr. Tyson take part in the show. I can guarantee that both of them will get the highest ratings.”

Hearing their suggestions, Clarissa suddenly felt that it would be cute if it were her husband and son.
