You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 280

After he got a kiss from his mother, he then got off the car and went home.

Damian, who had been playing the whole day, and was tired by then. However, he became excited again as soon as he saw Catherine. He hugged her fervidly as he spoke in a playful tone.

“Great-grandma, I really missed you today. I missed you so much that I didn’t even eat well…”

“Hahaha… My dear boy, I’ve missed you too. You’re such a good boy…”

She was happy to hear his words, feeling pleased with his eloquence and skills to make others happy.

Even though there were always many other children around every time Catherine took him out, Damian was the most popular among them. He was sweet and friendly to everyone and was also cute. As a result, others felt a sense of familiarity with him. Furthermore, he was also eloquent.

At times, Clarissa herself did not know where he got that from. Perhaps he learned from the cartoons he watched or learned through listening to adult conversations.

No matter what it was, he could remember the words as long as he had heard them before. In addition, he could pick suitable words to use in different situations.

Clearly, no one would dislike such a smart child.

At that moment, Damian was sitting beside Catherine as he talked about what he did that day and what he played with.

Clarissa had previously gone back to her room to change her clothes and came out just in time to hear him say, “Great-grandma, I miss Daddy. Today, another kid was there with his dad. I want Daddy to play with me too.”

She then paused in her footsteps, sighing inwardly. This kid even knows how to bring things up in such an indirect manner.

However, Catherine had remained silent at his comment. Just as Clarissa thought that her grandmother was angry, Catherine put her hand on Damian’s head instead.

“You’re right, Damian. Your dad should play with you.”

Surprised by her words, Clarissa stepped back a little, wanting to hear what else Catherine was going to say.

Instead, Damian then hugged Catherine. “Are you unhappy, Great-grandma? I want both you and Daddy. Don’t be sad. I’ll give you a kiss. “

“I’m not upset, my darling.”

She stroked his hair and continued, “You’ve grown up, Damian. You should be with your father. I’m old and can’t move around anymore, so you need to come back and see me often next time, okay?”

“Come back?”

She smiled. “Go to D City with your mommy. When you’re done enjoying yourself there, then come back. You haven’t been there even though you’re a big boy now.”

“D City? Where’s that?”

“Your daddy’s there! D City’s great. It’s a lot bigger than here and has many exciting things. Also, your daddy’s house over there is huge, and the scenery there is very pretty too. If you see a really big city while watching TV, that’s D City…”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wow… that’s D City!” he exclaimed exaggeratedly, opening his mouth wide. It was how he usually expressed his feelings.

In that respect, he was considered a good actor. He could easily show others his reactions, which encouraged them to continue talking.

“Yeah, that’s D City. You’ll like it when you go over with Mommy. Then, you can also play with your daddy.”

He cupped his face as he focused intently on what she was saying.

After a while, Catherine fell silent.

At that moment, Clarissa then walked out. As soon as Catherine noticed her, she waved and got up. “I’m tired and can’t entertain him anymore. I need a rest.”

Nodding as she picked her son up, Clarissa then carried him back to her room.

While in the shower, Damian asked, “Mommy, is the D City that Great-grandma talked about really that fun?”

“It is!”

Subsequently, she began to talk about many other fun places as he stared at her with big eyes, his gaze full of anticipation.

Instead of reading him a bedtime story that night, she continued talking about D City.

Then, when he finally fell asleep, she had some alone time to contemplate the situation.

I didn’t expect that Grandma actually approves of it. Back then, she was so resolute when she made me make the vow. She probably regretted it a little when she later found out I was pregnant, right?

Yet, Catherine had not said anything and had remained stubborn the past few years, at the same time taking the opportunity to test Matthew.

For some unknown reason, her grandmother’s change in attitude made Clarissa feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She then got off the bed to video call Matthew, telling him about what Catherine and Damian had talked about that day.

However, Matthew did not seem too happy and fell silent after hearing her story.

In reality, Clarissa was probably having the same thoughts as he was. Even though they felt happy, they also felt speechless at the same time.

Matthew then changed the topic.

“Clare, will you come back with Damian this time?”

She pondered before she said, “Let me ask Grandma. Even though she has agreed, I still want to ask her. There’s another problem. The air in D City now isn’t good, so we have to stay indoors and can’t go out for a few days in a week. Also, if I bring him over now, it’ll be too cold.”

“Yeah, don’t stay here for long. If possible, you can bring him over so he can familiarize himself with the environment first.”

Clarissa nodded, and they then began to discuss the child’s room and what other facilities they should add to Zen Highlands. Basically, every little thing in the house had to be altered for the child.

Matthew seemed to have a lot he wanted to say regarding those few matters. As a result, they spoke until the wee hours of the morning.

For the next four days, Clarissa stayed at home. However, she still had to return to D City for work.

In preparation, she looked up D City’s weather and found that it would be good for quite a few upcoming days. Then, the day before she left, she hesitated for a long time before mustering up her courage to speak to Catherine.

However, Catherine spoke even before she could.

“Clare, take Damian with you when you go to D City this time.”

Clarissa was stunned upon hearing her words. She had not expected her grandmother to take the initiative and bring up that matter first.

Compared to Catherine’s calmness, she was obviously a little stunned.

Yet, Catherine neither said much else nor explained herself. She did not talk about whether she was right or wrong in the past and did not explain why she was letting go of control then. Perhaps she actually did not think that she did wrong back then.

Resultantly, Clarissa did not know what she was thinking, and Catherine would not say it either.

Maybe if Damian weren’t born then, things would have been different. But such a thing can’t be predicted anyway.

Ever since Damian’s birth, the furthest he had been was only to somewhere around Summerbank’s zoo. Since he was so young, it was rather inconvenient to bring him out, especially when Clarissa was alone.

However, that day, Damian was about to head to D City. Regardless of who was there in D City or how it was like there, simply going on a trip was an exciting experience for a child nonetheless.

Clarissa had packed a huge bag of clothes for him, and he had insisted on bringing his toys. In the end, he almost brought everything over.

Damian decided to only bring a small bag of toy cars only after Clarissa promised to buy more toys for him in D City.

Meanwhile, Matthew wanted to go over and pick them up himself upon knowing that both the mother and their son were heading to D City.

It was Clarissa who stopped him from his exaggeration. On the day they left, Jenny helped send the pair to the airport. They flew first class, and Damian was very excited when the plane took off, although he sat obediently in his seat when boarded the plane.

Then, as soon as he could move around, he put on his best smile and started to act cutely.

He greeted everyone on the plane, smiling at each one of them.

As it was rare to see such an eloquent, sweet-tongued child, the passengers all looked at him in interest.

From aside, Clarissa was rather embarrassed and smiled along with her son, constantly blushing.

Luckily, he’s not as bad as he usually is at home and didn’t make me lose face in the past two hours. Otherwise, I’ll throw myself off this plane right now.

When they finally arrived at D City’s airport, she wanted to carry Damian, for she was worried that he would get lost in such a huge crowd. However, he wanted to walk by himself.

Walking off by himself, she then chased after him as she shouted. Eventually, she could not help but grab him, then scolded him sternly for his action. The all excited Damian immediately became upset.

To show his unhappiness, he put on a long face and looked away from her. Then, stuffing his hands in his pockets, he walked forward without bothering about anything else.

Clarissa slowly followed after him, almost laughing at how he was behaving.

His hands were in his pockets as if he were an adult, and he had on a cool expression as he walked forward on his short legs, ignoring everything else. As soon as the other passengers walking past saw how cute he was acting, they couldn’t help but laugh.

Someone then teased him, trying to get him to speak. However, he was no longer the same smiley boy just moments ago and had instead turned a cool-looking boy with an attitude.

Yet, the more he acted that way, the more others found it funny.

He continued walking until he reached the arrival gates, where he then noticed numerous people waiting in front of him. Then, he finally felt scared and turned around to look at his mother.

Pressing her lips together, Clarissa smiled slightly.

“Why aren’t you walking forward?”

Ultimately, Damian was still a child, so too much walking had made him tired. Moreover, the crowd in front of him also made him sacred.

He called out to Clarissa softly, starting to act cute again.

“Mommy… Carry me…”

Snorting in laughter, she then lifted him onto the suitcase and rolled it as she walked. At last, Damian smiled cutely again.

However, they had only taken a few steps before he was lifted again and pulled into the arms of a strong, broad-chested man.

Carrying his son, Matthew locked eyes with Damian’s widened ones. A few seconds later, Damian shouted, “Daddy!”
