You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Matthew tried to change the subject with mischievous wordplay.

If it were any other time, Clarissa would have just let it slide. But the agenda was extremely important as it was about their son’s future.

Damian had always been Clarissa’s number one priority.

She didn’t laugh at his joke. Instead, her expression darkened while her gaze turned icy cold.

Realizing that it was futile trying to escape his grasp, Clarissa stopped struggling. Instead, she let her fiery gaze express her dissatisfaction.

At the same time, Matthew held her sharp gaze for a long while before letting out a sigh.

Releasing his grip on her, he adjusted her position and placed her on his lap instead.

However, Clarissa’s expression was just as gloomy. Reaching out to stroke her face, Matthew smiled as he spoke with a deep and magnetic voice. “Clare, I admit that I didn’t bother maintaining the secret. The way I see it, there’s no need to do so.”

At that moment, rage began to well up within Clarissa. However, she took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress it. She was worried that she would let her temper flare uncontrollably.

She knew that she shouldn’t act so impulsively. After all, it was only fair for her to allow him the opportunity to explain.

Somehow, Matthew understood what was going through her mind and continued, “The need doesn’t arise because he is both your son and mine. No matter who it is, and I do mean no matter who—”

At that moment, Matthew emphasized his words with fervor. “No matter who it is, I will never allow them to break our family apart nor let them lay a finger on Damian.”

Clarissa could feel Matthew’s confidence. Gritting her teeth, she replied, “Fine. Do you mean that you’re not afraid of exposing Damian and will definitely not let anyone take him away?”

“Yes.”

“But I’m afraid!” Clarissa sounded exasperated. With her steely gaze and icy expression, she explained, “Matthew, Damian isn’t just your son. He is also mine. Putting aside the idea that you can protect him from harm, which I still have my doubts about, what’s the benefit of revealing his existence? He is just an ordinary kid. Do you know that by doing this, you’ll just invite a lot more trouble?”

Clarissa’s tone was grave.

Matthew rebutted, “Clare, Damian is indeed an ordinary kid. But, he is also my son. So what’s wrong with letting the world know about it? What could possibly happen? Since you said so yourself that he’s no different than others, why do we need to hide him?”

As both of them faced off, neither wanted to compromise.

Clarissa wasn’t just angry, but also worried and fearful at the same time.

However, Matthew didn’t understand what she was afraid of.

Matthew asked, “Who are you really afraid of? I don’t understand your urge
