You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 284

D City finally woke up to a pleasant morning after a few consecutive days of chilliness. Clarissa woke up and looked out of the window, delighted by what came into view. The exceptionally clear blue sky indicated that it would be a day of fine weather. It was really a perfect day to plan for an outing. Almost instantly, she made up her mind to grab the golden opportunity and take Damian out.

There were many places of interest in D City. Clarissa took some time to browse through the reviews on recommended destinations online with her phone and shortlisted a few places that they could visit. After packing some necessary items for their outing, she proceeded to wake her son up.

People tended to be idle and sleep more during winter. Damian was not an exception. When Clarissa patted him lightly on the back to wake him up, he turned to his side and mumbled reluctantly. Even though he looked adorable like a hibernating baby bear, she had to wake him up from his dreamland.

Clarissa knew the most efficient way to wake her son up. She leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear, “Darling… sleepyhead, wake up now. Do you want a yummy donut? I have bought a big one for you.”

Miraculously, Damian moved and sat up in an instant. Even though his eyes were still closed, he started to mumble, “Donut! I want to eat the yummy donut!”

Pfft! Clarissa could not help but feel amused and chuckled.

She quickly took out her phone and set it to video mode to capture his funny moment. My goodness! What a little glutton! He’s even licking his lips in his dream! The next moment, she burst into laughter.

Upon hearing Clarissa’s laughter, Damian finally opened his eyes. Rubbing his groggy eyes, his mind was fully occupied by the delicious donut!

“Donut! Donut! I’m coming!” he yelled excitedly and was about to climb out of the bed.

Clarissa immediately put aside her phone and pulled him into her arms. “You’ve woken up, right? Come, let’s wash up before you eat your donut.”

He turned to wrap his arms around her and called her coquettishly. Stroking his fine hair lovingly, her heart was warmed by his sweet voice.

After a quick wash-up, Clarissa and Damian went down for breakfast. Damian was given a donut as promised earlier by her. After savoring his favorite donut, he went up again obediently to brush his teeth and dressed up before they stepped out.

Matthew did not allow Clarissa to bring Damian out just by herself. Other than the driver, he advised her to bring along Julia and another nanny who was specially hired to look after Damian. For Clarissa, he might be a bit overprotective of Damian.

Nevertheless, she could not reject as he insisted to do so in order to secure their safety. As a loving father, it was just natural for him to cater to his beloved son’s wellbeing by all means. Thus, Clarissa understood that she had no right to go against his will.

Their first destination was the museum in D City. Once they stepped into the museum, Damian was mesmerized by the massive dinosaur skeleton displayed in the center of the hall. His eyes glistened with excitement as it was his very first close encounter with the skeleton of the mysterious prehistoric animal. His curiosity was piqued when he looked at the ancient artifacts of the prehistoric stone age, and Clarissa briefed him on the history of human development.

Later, his eyes lit up again when his mother pointed out to him that the world consisted of different regions as shown on a giant globe. It was sort of a unique educational trip which had enlightened Damian and spurred his interest to explore the amazing world.

As a mother, Clarissa wished that her son would gradually grow up and become more mature through self-development. At the same time, she hoped that he would continue to have an ongoing passion for the unlimited exploration and discovery in the world which was full of uncertainties.

At noon, they headed for lunch at a popular restaurant nearby. Clarissa ordered a few types of food as recommended by the waiter. She did not leave out Damian’s favorite fried chicken.

Damian applauded the moment his fried chicken was served. He munched the drumstick, licked his thumbs, and kept complimenting, “Mommy, this fried chicken is really finger-lickin’ good!” Clarissa shook her head and was speechless at his humorous way of enjoying his fried chicken.

Look at this drama king, who is a typical food lover! He can really exaggerate when it comes to food! He can actually help to advertise for the restaurant! She took the video of Damian enjoying his fried chicken and sent it to Matthew at once.

Other than the fried chicken, Damian tried other types of food eagerly as well. After a while, he was already full and let out a burp. While waiting for the others to finish their meal, he took a small piece of brownie and started toying with it.

Clarissa knitted her brows and advised him patiently, “Damian, I have told you before that food is not a toy, right? You’re not supposed to waste the brownie by treating it as your toy. Just finish it first!”

Damian put on a fawning smile and handed Clarissa the small piece of brownie which was already a bit out of shape.

“Mommy, I give it to you!”

“You naughty boy, I won’t help you to finish it. Since you’re the one who took it, you have to swallow it. If not, bring this home and you will have it as your dinner tonight!” Clarissa put on a stern look and warned him.

Upon hearing her words, Damian pouted his lips in displeasure and put the small piece of brownie directly in her plate. After that, he got off from his dining chair and started to trot around the dining table.

Ah! The little glutton is done with his meal. It’s finally my turn to enjoy my meal now! Since Julia and the nanny could help to keep an eye on Damian, Clarissa just let him move around freely. She had not really taken any mouthful of the food as she was busy serving Damian a while ago. Thus, she quickly grabbed the chance to fill her stomach first.

A while later, Damian started to feel bored in the private room and dashed out. Both Julia and the nanny ran out hastily to catch up with him. Clarissa glanced at them and continued eating.

Her phone buzzed abruptly. It was a call from Matthew.

“We’re having a meal now, and almost done. We’ll be back in a while, so you don’t have to come. Do you want to talk to your mischievous son? He had just run out of the room a while ago. Don’t worry, Mrs. Lawson and the nanny are following him closely. He won’t get lost…”

Matthew was actually thinking of having a video call with Damian. As Damian was not with her at the moment, he requested, “Since you’re already out, just bring him to my office later.”

“We’re not going,” Clarissa blurted out and rejected without hesitation.

Sensing that she was a bit blunt by blurting out the words, she explained at once, “We have spent a few hours out today and I’m afraid Damian is tired. He will surely need a nap later. Apart from that, I’m protecting him from the humiliation that I encountered at then. I’m sure you understand how I feel. I won’t let Damian experience the miserable moment that I’ve gone through. Matthew, I’m serious about it. If the same thing happens to our son, I would surely confront them and fight them to the end!”

There was even an unmissable firmness in Clarissa’s tone, which implied that she was serious with her words. As a mother, she would not let anyone inflict any harm on her child.

No doubt Matthew was the love of her life, yet Damian would always be her top priority. Moreover, he was still young. She would not think twice to sacrifice anything in order to protect him.

Matthew remained silent momentarily and consoled Clarissa, “Clare, I understand how you feel. Don’t worry, I will ensure that it won’t happen again. I won’t let anyone hurt you and our son.”
