You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 213

Shermaine’s comments about their resemblance shocked Hilary.

As her expression changed, she laughed awkwardly. “Is that so? Haha… we really are fated to find one another given that we resemble each other.”

However, Shermaine didn’t elaborate further on the topic.

After all, she was only being polite.

“By the way, I just remembered. Aren’t you Clarissa’s mother?”

Hilary nodded. “That’s right. I’m surprised you remember.”

“Of course, I do.”

Shermaine smiled but Hilary didn’t understand why her expression changed until she recalled the matter involving Matthew.

However, Hilary wasn’t sure if Shermaine knew anything about Matthew and Clarissa.

She couldn’t help but probe, “Shermaine, have you really broken up with Mr. Tyson?”

Shermaine didn’t expect such a question from Hilary. Smiling wryly, she made it look like she was sad and hurt. Before Hilary knew it, Shermaine started to shed tears.

As teardrops streamed down her cheeks, Shermaine began to sob in silence. Anyone who saw her would feel heartbroken, let alone Hilary.

She felt as if her heart had been torn open as tears dropped from her eyes. Overwhelmed by emotion, Hilary couldn’t stop herself as she sat beside Shermaine and embraced her.

“Shermaine, stop crying. It hurts me when you do. This isn’t your fault but theirs instead. How can they do this to you? My child… my poor child…”

As if she had found outlet, Shermaine couldn’t help but bawl in Hilary’s arms.

As both women hugged each other crying, it was as if they were venting all the frustrations pent up in their hearts.

After a long time, they began to calm down.

Shermaine got up and went to the ladies to freshen up.

While Hilary was angry at herself for not keeping her own emotions in check.

By the time Shermaine returned to the private room, Hilary didn’t say much while Shermaine just smiled.

“Mrs. Garrett, no, can I address you as Ms. Hilary?”

“Of course, as you wish.”

“Ms. Hilary, I’m sorry about just now as I haven’t cried in a very long time. It’s just that there has been so much welled up inside me. No one believes me, and no one is willing to hear me out.”

Hilary shook her head quickly. “It’s alright, Shermaine. I like you a lot and you can trust me. No matter how sad you are, you can always share it with me.”

Shermaine nodded with a bashful smile. “Thank you, Ms. Hilary.”

“Why don’t you tell me what happened between you and Mr. Tyson?”

When she saw how depressing Shermaine’s cry was, Hilary couldn’t help but curse Matthew in her heart.

Evidently, she had forgotten the joy she felt when she first knew Clarissa and Matthew were together.

Shermaine shook her head with a sardonic smile. “Let bygones be bygones. There’s no point saying more or else I’ll be accused of being bitter. Once he has someone new, I no longer mean anything to him.”

Although she made it sound ambiguous, her words caused Hilary to assume that Clarissa was the third party.

Underneath the table, Hilary clenched her fist at the thought of Clarissa breaking up Shermaine’s relationship.

And that she still dared to accuse Shermaine of being the slanderer when in fact she was the one who slandered.

Gritting her teeth, Hilary felt that Clarissa wasn’t being fair to Shermaine.

“Ms. Hilary, what is it? What are you thinking about?”

Hilary shook her head and grinned. “Nothing much. Alright, let’s not talk about sad times. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

After that, both of them casually chatted until night fell. Even then, they still felt as if they had a lot more to say, and realized they seem to click very well.

Finally, they bid each other a reluctant goodbye.

When Hilary returned to the Garrett residence, her mood improved significantly compared to the last few days. Hence, she personally cooked dinner and spent a happy evening with Zach.

At the end of the night, after her husband had slept, Hilary was still awake.

There was a lot weighing on her mind. She thought back to twenty years ago, about Shermaine, and many other things except for Clarissa.

…

Before Ryler left, he came to see Clarissa who was already expecting him.

Besides saying goodbye, there was something else, for example, Jamie.

“Has Jamie come to you?”

Clarissa took the initiative to ask when she saw that Ryler had something to say.

He nodded. “She said that you have sidelined her. Now that she has been blacklisted by the company, no one dares to approach her. All she can do now is sing in bars and work on other small gigs.”

“I did do it.”

Ryler fell silent and didn’t ask any further.

Clarissa pursed her lips before asking, “Did she tell you why I took such drastic action?”
