You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 260

Although Damian was just an adorable little child, he was probably more mature and intelligent than his peers.

Although Matthew was oblivious to why he called him so affectionately earlier, Clarissa understood.

He must have noticed that his mother was unhappy. Even if he did not understand what the woman was talking about, he was sensitive enough to realize it.

Earlier, he refused to acknowledge Matthew when he called him Damian Tyson. He probably did not understand what last names signified, but since he was used to being called Damian Quigley, he had to rebuke Matthew’s words.

The young boy gazed at Clarissa pitifully, his eyes filled with indignance. He pouted, looking like he was on the verge of crying.

Unable to bear it anymore, she stretched out her arms and took him back into her arms.

When she carried him, he immediately broke out into a smile. Hugging her neck cutely, he declared, “Mommy, I only like you and no one else!”

Matthew, who had just been referred to as “no one else,” frowned. When he saw Damian acting cutely in Clarissa’s arms, he did not find him adorable at all. Instead, he clenched his jaw in frustration.

“Speak properly. Why are you acting cutely despite being a boy?”

While Clarissa hugged Damian, he made a face at Matthew. Then, he burrowed deeper into her embrace and said cutely, “Mommy, I’m your dearest darling!”

Clarissa suppressed her laughter, patted his back, and replied, “Of course you are! I love you the most, my darling…”

Matthew’s face fell, and he seemed to want to say something, but Clarissa shot a warning glance at him.

At the sight of her glaring eyes, Matthew held himself back and remained silent.

After Clarissa coaxed Damian, she tried asking, “Damian, why did you call for Daddy just now, but you don’t want him now? Aren’t you happy Daddy’s here?”

Snuggling in Clarissa’s embrace, Damian rubbed his head against her and stayed silent for a while.

As she waited patiently for his answer, she exchanged glances with Matthew silently. Finally, Damian spoke. Although his voice was muffled, she could understand him.

“Mommy, you don’t like her. Her son also kept talking about how amazing his daddy is, how he brought him out to play and bought a lot of toys…”

Even though the mother was bragging outside, I didn’t expect her son to be doing the same thing inside.

No wonder they are mother and son.

Matthew frowned and looked at Clarissa in confusion.

She merely described what had happened earlier before reassuring Damian, “He bragged about his father to you, right? But what’s there to show off? Your daddy’s taller, more handsome, and richer than his! He bought more gifts for you too!”

Damian moved his butt slightly, looking like he was starting to be a little convinced.

Clarissa smiled and lifted his head. “Look, you actually like Daddy, right? He bought you so many more toys! Doesn’t he make you proud?”

Damian’s resolve was starting to waver after hearing what his mother said. He cast a glance at Matthew but averted his gaze quickly before staring back at him for a while.

Matthew smiled slightly upon noticing the boy’s antics.

Meanwhile, Clarissa tried to send Damian back to Matthew’s embrace. This time, he did not resist and ended up in his father’s arms.

Although he was hugging Damian unfamiliarly, Matthew laughed. Unlike his frosty tone earlier, his voice was much gentler when he said, “I’ll teach anyone who bullies you a lesson, okay?”

Damian nodded. “I don’t like Jackie. He’s really mean. He keeps stealing my toys and insulting Mommy…”

Matthew raised his eyebrows while Clarissa explained, “Jackie’s a kid in our neighborhood. He’s two years older than Damian. As he’s been spoilt, he has a really arrogant personality.”

Matthew snorted coldly. “Spoilt? It’s his parent’s fault. Damian, I’ll teach Jackie a lesson.”

Actually, Jackie’s parents were quite decent. However, his grandmother would bump into them occasionally and gossip about how Clarissa had a child before marriage behind their back.

They lived in a high-class neighborhood, so the residents were quite civilized. Yet, they would sometimes come across a few people like Jackie’s grandmother. Clarissa could not be bothered to deal with them. As she did not know them and barely met them, she deigned to be petty with them. However, whenever she bumped into Jackie’s grandmother outside the house, she would deliberately smile at her provocatively. Clarissa wanted to see how frustrated the old woman could get when she was helpless to act on her displeasure.

“That’s enough. What are you talking about? Jackie’s parents are decent people. We live in the same neighborhood, so let’s not sour our relationships with others. They’re just so busy with their business that they neglected their child’s education.”

A cold glint appeared in Matthew’s eyes. “They neglected their child because they are busy. Only incapable people would use work as an excuse. Am I right, Damian?”

The young boy raised his head. “What does ‘incapable people’ mean?”

Matthew stroked his head and explained, “It refers to people who don’t have the ability to protect their family or work.”

Damian immediately puffed up his chest. “When I grow up, I’ll protect Mommy, Great-grandma, and work well!”

“Pfft!”

Clarissa burst out laughing at his statement. Damian’s determined look made him seem like a real man.

Matthew was quite pleased with this.

“You’re amazing, Damian! You’re my dearest son!”

Damien blushed in embarrassment upon being praised. His eyes crinkled, and a small grin spread across his cheeks, making him look utterly adorable.

Even though Matthew was not as affectionate toward Damian as Clarissa was, his heart melted into a puddle when he saw the little boy’s smile.

He hugged Damian tightly, kissed his forehead gently, and smiled.

The car stopped outside the Prime Hotel, the most famous hotel in W City. Other than the hotel suites, the restaurant was also nationally renowned.

Just like its name, the food was of prime quality.
