You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

It was evident that Ellie would be going against Shawn, and this choice of hers was not made lightly.

Her heart ached for Clarissa and Damian.

That was the reason she decided to disturb Shawn no matter the cost.

The duo had a direct face-off, and the tension grew palpable. Shawn was the first to break his stance. As he raised his hand, Ellie immediately made a fuss. “What? Are you succumbing to hitting people now, Shawn? Help! Police brutality and maltreatm- Mmn!”

Before Ellie could finish, Shawn cut her off with a sudden kiss. Harmon and the rest began cheering and whistling at the show.

Breaking of the kiss, Shawn growled in a low tone, “Mind your business!”

“Pfft, hahaha…”

Despite Shawn’s warning, Harmon could not help but burst out laughing, earning a murderous glare from Ellie.

After a while, the atmosphere turned serious enough to begin the interrogation.

Embarrassed by the kiss earlier, Ellie stood at the side in silent as they interrogated Matthew. However, once it was over, she could no longer hold her tongue.

“You really can’t meet Clare. She’s with Damian upstairs. The poor boy was startled so badly that he is now clinging onto Clare and refusing to let go. To be honest, Clare will just be telling you the same thing Uncle Matt just told you. Must you interrogate her personally? After all, she’s either with Uncle Matt or the crew all the time…”

Even though Shawn believed that Clarissa was innocent, it was still protocol to take her alibi as well.

Just then, Matthew interrupted, “I’ll go upstairs to check on them. Please wait for a moment…”

In the room, the first sight that greeted Matthew was the mother-and-son pair wrapped in each other’s arms. At the sight of Matthew, Damian finally broke the silence.

“Daddy.” Damian’s childish voice called out softly.

Matthew smiled warmly and rubbed Damian’s head affectionately. “Hey Damian, Mr. Shawn is downstairs. Would you like to go see him?”

Clarissa looked up, exchanging glances with Matthew. The latter gave a reassuring nod.

On the other hand, Damian seemed to have recovered from his initial shock. A look of concentration showed on his face as he contemplated whether or not he should go downstairs.

“Mr. Shawn and the police officers are still here. Some of the police are even wearing their uniforms. They look very smart and handsome. Don’t you want to see them?” persuaded Matthew.

Swayed by his words, Damian raised his head to look at Clarissa. “Can you go with me, Mommy?”

“Of course I will go will you!” Clarissa smiled.

“Okay!”

After Damian’s prompt agreement, the three of them made their way downstairs.

Unlike his usual reaction, Damian was not overcome with excitement to see Shawn. He kept clinging onto Clarissa, not daring to let go. Even so, a polite smile still hung on his lips as he nodded towards Shawn and the police officers.
