You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 289

After becoming a mother, Clarissa wished to commit everything to Damian. Her biggest hope was that he could grow up happily and peacefully.

Hence, she couldn’t understand how Hilary could be so cruel to her own daughter.

Hilary might be stubborn and selfish, but why did she do that to me?

I can understand that Hilary abandoned me back then to be married into a prominent family.

However, why did she break Matthew and me up? Did she do it for her favorite actress, Shermaine?

On the surface, it was probably the sole reason that Hilary broke them up.

However, Clarissa believed that Hilary certainly had an ulterior motive, for which the latter was willing to sacrifice her own daughter’s happiness.

In fact, Clarissa doubted it three years ago. Nonetheless, she didn’t have time nor interest to dwell on it back then.

She underestimated Hilary’s shamelessness, for she had the cheek to show up three years later.

More importantly, Clarissa couldn’t understand why Hilary thought she could be bullied again and again.

“If you don’t like to see her, I’ve many ways to make her and her husband leave D City.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Clarissa looked up and met Matthew’s eyes, which were full of affection.

Now that a loving husband and a cute child were around her, Clarissa actually didn’t care if Hilary showed up anymore.

“It’s fine. Even though you definitely can sabotage the Garretts, but this won’t do Tyson Corporation any good. I don’t want you to be a cruel man. Besides, I still have some doubts.”

Matthew took her into his arms and put her on his lap. Then, he leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips and whispered, “What are your doubts? I can help overcome them for you.”

Matthew sounded serious and natural.

As such, she couldn’t help but chuckle and tug his cheek softly. She felt that Matthew looked better when he smiled.

“What was Hilary’s motive?”

Hilary didn’t hesitate to sacrifice Clarissa’s happiness and dampen her own dream to marry Clarrisa into a prominent family. Besides, she wasn’t even perturbed that doing all these would affect her son, Jonathan. Therefore, Clarissa’s biggest doubt was how important the ulterior motive was, so much so that Hilary would make such merciless choices against her.

Also, Clarissa believed that it would deal a huge blow to Hilary once she got to the bottom of it.

She didn’t think of herself as a saint, for she couldn’t forgive Hilary and had thought about retaliating against Hilary.

Back then, Clarissa had no ability nor time to retaliate. Now that Hilary showed up by herself, Clarissa felt that she had to do something to make up for her psychological trauma in the past.

“Alright, I’ll investigate it for you.” Matthew kept fiddling with her fingers as he talked.

Since he made the promise, he was determined to fulfill it to make her happy.

On the other hand, Hilary felt irritated after she was chased out.

However, she didn’t know why she came here to look for Clarissa.

Perhaps I’m harboring my last hope?

Although Hilary initially failed to contact Clarissa, she managed to get the address of her studio from someone and came here anyway.

I never thought this brat would hate me and be so cruel to me.

Hilary had been waiting for quite some time in the car, yet no one showed up. As such, her last hope shattered.

She did not return to the Garretts’ villa since she left. After all, the villa was like a nightmare, a challenge, and a form of torment to her. Now, even her son refused to come home. However, Hilary actually couldn’t understand why things would turn out this way.

Would I have a wonderful life and be respected by the Garretts if I didn’t stop Clarissa in the first place? Alas, my life now is even worse than a maid.

Nonetheless, how could I answer Shermaine if I didn’t stop Clarissa?

Hilary heaved a sigh. I fulfilled what Shermaine wanted, yet she went to prison in the end.

She couldn’t help but think that she made the wrong choice thirty years ago.

Since Clarissa didn’t help her, she had no choice but to return to the Garretts’ villa.

Yvonne nitpicked about everything as soon as Hilary returned. After dinner was prepared, Yvonne didn’t eat any food but went out with her drinking buddies. Also, Zach didn’t come home for dinner.

Lately, Hilary always found some stuff that belonged to a woman in Zach’s clothes. Sometimes, she could even smell the strong fragrance of perfume once he came home.

Back then, Zach would try to come up with some excuses to cover it up. Unfortunately, he didn’t even care concealing it from her now.

Their relationship turned sour because Clarissa was chased out by the Tysons.

It was thus the reason that Hilary looked for Clarissa earlier on.

Zach only came home at midnight, yet Hilary dared not complain about it. She didn’t even utter a word after he lay on the bed.

The next morning, Hilary woke up early to cook breakfast. She finally said something before Zach left.

“I knew that Clary is in D City now and went to see her yesterday.”

Zach finally gazed at Hilary.

However, anger and mockery were apparent in his eyes, probably caused by what happened three years ago.

“Really? Did you manage to see her then?”

Her face instantly turned pale, her lips quivered.

“I know she’ll blame me. But three years have passed. Regardless of what happened, I’m still her mother.”

“Ha!” Zach snickered, gazing at her in disdain.

“I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a mother, yet she still becomes an outstanding woman. I’m ashamed of myself. I only knew recently that she came to D City. In the past three years, she received many awards and even attended Olive’s auction charity dinner. She was a well-known figure now, and there

are even rumors about her affairs with a few men. Anyway, I think she’ll find her true happiness even without Matthew.”

Clank! Suddenly, Zach flung the cutlery away from his hands and glared at Hilary.

“Since she couldn’t be with the best man ever, the other men are only her second-best options. What on earth is on your mind to claim that Clarissa can find a better man without Matthew? This is ridiculous!”

As Zach lost his appetite, he stood up and left right away.

On the other hand, Hilary was furious. She initially thought that Zach would be interested in talking to her to get some benefits from Clarissa.

Much to her surprise, Zach seemed to be nonchalant about the news.

Hilary felt that she overestimated herself and the benefits that Clarissa could deliver to him.

After picking up the kid from kindergarten, Clarissa suddenly recalled that something wasn’t right just now—the teacher called him Damian Tyson when they were leaving kindergarten.

Before Clarissa thought about his name seriously, the teacher had unintentionally pointed out the problem.

Clarissa wanted to discuss it with Matthew as soon as possible. After all, confirming Damian’s last name was important for many things, particularly when he had to attend elementary school.

Also, she believed they had to obtain Margaret’s approval to recognize Damian as a member of the Tysons.

With that, she would simultaneously reveal to Margaret that she had actually registered for marriage with Matthew. In fact, Margaret wasn’t aware of it thus far because they hadn’t made it public.

At night, Matthew came home and saw that Clarissa was sitting on the couch, alone and distressed. Meanwhile, once Damian heard the door opened, he stood up and rushed toward Matthew. Matthew picked him up and laughed heartily.

“Daddy, I miss you so much.”

Upon hearing Damian’s voice, Clarissa lifted her gaze to look at Matthew and pursed her lips.

Matthew kept his guard up once he noticed her unusual facial expression.

Why is Damian so enthusiastic? Hmm, there surely is a motive behind it.

“I miss you too, Damian.”

Matthew kissed Damian’s cheek and put him down. After that, Damian gazed at him cutely and said, “Daddy, please gift me a chocolate bar since you miss me so much.”

The next moment, Matthew and Damian’s gazes met as though they were in a standoff.

Clarissa burst into laughter. In fact, she was always amused by the little kid.

Despite the happiness, she still had to prohibit Damian from getting chocolate.

Meanwhile, Matthew replied, “Damian, didn’t Mommy give you some chocolate already? You and I have to listen to Mommy, okay?”

Suddenly, Damian’s face turned gloomy. He turned around and didn’t behave as enthusiastically as before.

“Is he that materialistic?”

After Matthew asked the question, Clarissa nodded smilingly. “He already had some chocolate after taking a nap in the evening. When I stopped him from eating, he became upset and even tried to play some tricks against me. Well, I almost fell for the tricks.”

Matthew shook his head and chuckled. So, my son has showcased his intellect on this.

A moment later, he sat closer to Clarissa and took her into his arms. After kissing her lips, he asked, “What were you thinking about just now? Are you facing any trouble?”

Matthew didn’t like to see her frowning.

Upon hearing it, Clarissa couldn’t help but heave a sigh.

“It’s about his name!”

“Name?”

Clarissa turned around to look at Damian and said, “Should his full name be Damian Tyson or Damian Quigley? It’ll be important when he has to attend elementary school. Anyway, the bigger problem is how should we tell Grandma. Of course, we can choose to keep it from her. But she was hurt before and it won’t be nice if we keep her in the dark now.”

In short, they had to face Margaret.

At the same time, Clarissa had to confront the question that she avoided lately—her future with Matthew.
