You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

After the festive holidays, it was time for Damian to start preschool.

Although Clarissa was busy with work, the thought that he was going to kindergarten now made her feel melancholic. After all, he would be spending most of his time in school going forward.

On his very first day, she and Matthew brought him there. Matthew had chosen the school despite the fact that the school fees cost a fortune. Hence, Clarissa pretended not to know as her heart would ache every time she thought about how expensive it was.

Meanwhile, they spent the whole morning at the preschool, just in case Damian had any issues settling in.

However, much to Clarissa’s disappointment, Damian didn’t cry for his parents at all. In fact, he seemed to have forgotten about them.

Given that he had made many friends, he was simply lost in the excitement.

When school ended, he even felt reluctant to leave his friends and promised to come back bearing gifts the next day…

Back at home, the first thing Damian wished for was for the night to end quickly so that he could be back to school the next day.

Consequently, Clarissa felt dejected.

She finally saw how independent he was. In the past, others commented about how reliant Damian was on her. In truth, she was the one that was dependent on him.

And yet, this is just preschool. What about when he goes to primary school, high school, and then university? When he finds a girlfriend and gets married…

As the images flashed across her mind, Clarissa could feel her heart tighten.

What am I going to do? There is only a three-year gap between the time he was born to his first day of school. I only had his full attention for three years, isn’t it just too short?

Feeling upset, she threw herself into Matthew’s embrace in search of comfort.

“Hubby, why does having children feel this way? The time he spent with us is just too short. It makes me really sad…”

Given the mood Clarissa was in, there was no way Matthew could tell her how secretly happy he was.

In truth, children would leave the nest sooner or later, boys especially would do so at a younger age.

Hence, the only one who could stay by her side throughout the years would be her husband.

Unable to speak candidly, Matthew could only convey it in a roundabout manner.

“Clare, children grow up sooner or later, so don’t feel sad over it. If they stay by your side forever and don’t grow up, then you should be worried instead. All that matters is that he grows up to be a kind person with steadfast principles. That would make you feel proud, wouldn’t it?”

Clarissa’s silence meant that she implicitly agreed with him.

Matthew seized upon the opportunity to add, “Actually, when our son grows up, he will have his friends, teachers, and classmates by his side. Following that, he would have a girlfriend who would later become his wife. Didn’t you go through the same thing? Right now, the only person who will always be with you is me.”
