You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

It had been a while since Hilary and Shermaine saw each other.

Meeting Hilary again, Shermaine realized that the former was not as happy to see her anymore. In fact, Hilary looked guilty and was avoiding Shermaine’s eyes.

Shermaine scoffed internally, but she acted frightened and lost on the surface.

“Did I do something wrong to upset you, Ms. Hilary? I understand that no one likes me now, and I am content with the affection you gave me earlier. I am so sorry for wasting your time and disappointing you. I truly am.”

Shermaine looked too pitiful in that state.

At first, Hilary was heartbroken over the fact that Clarissa was insistent on disowning her, but seeing Shermaine in that pitiful state got Hilary to forget all about Clarissa.

The heartbreak Hilary felt when she saw Shermaine was a lot more intense than when she saw Clarissa.

As far as Hilary was concerned, Shermaine was the most important one.

The former quickly hugged the latter to offer some comfort. Hilary apologized, “Shermaine, this is all my fault. This has nothing to do with you.”

What’s the point of being upset, anyway?

That stupid Clarissa is such a thankless wretched for wanting to disown me like that. She truly stomped on the love I have for her.

Truth was, there was no need for Hilary to be sad. After all, when it came to that daughter, she had always been…

Hilary secretly made her decision. She would not sway anymore. Her heart knew who she should side with.

“Shermaine, I was busy lately, and that is why I’m only visiting now. I’m so sorry. I went to see Clarissa a few days ago.”

“Huh?” blurted Shermaine before she grinned bitterly and added, “That’s right. You have a daughter, and she is the most important one for you. I understand.”

“No, that heartless woman doesn’t even see me as her mother. She actually wants to cut all ties with me! As if this matter is so important that she needed to do that? She’s not nearly as kind to me as you are, Shermaine. How I wish you are my daughter instead.”

Shermaine seemed surprised. She asked, “How is that possible? Are the two of you not close? Are there some misunderstandings between you two? Or does she not like it when we hang out together?”

“It doesn’t matter if she likes it. The important thing is that I like you. Don’t worry, Shermaine. That stupid Clarissa is not worthy of Matthew, and I will not let her get married. I am her mother, and no one can complain if I am against that wedding. You don’t need to be sad either. She will not marry Matthew, and you will have your shot. I will do anything for you.”

Shermaine acted surprised.

After that, she teared up like she was extremely touched by those words.
