You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 324

Clarissa sat with Ellie and watched Shawn from a stone’s throw away. Clad in a black uniform, the muscular man took the battlefield like a champion.

Unlike Matthew, who exuded an air of elegance and elitism, Shawn was more like a sharp-eyed tough man.

Clarissa was a little surprised to learn that Shawn was the man of Ellie’s dream, but after taking a closer look at the rugged man with a masculine physique, she could somewhat understand why Ellie was attracted to him.

The woman teased Ellie with a glance, and a line immediately formed between the latter’s brows. “Stop staring at me like that!”

Immediately, Clarissa responded with an impish grin. “What’s with you and Captain Hayes? Oh, wait—he’s the director now, isn’t he? Tell me more about your relationship with him. Have you two…”

Ellie was taken aback by how Clarissa phrased her question. “Excuse me, Aunt Clare, I know you’re married, and you’re an expert in ‘certain things,’ but are you sure you want to know the details?”

Ellie’s response rendered Clarissa speechless, and the latter instantly felt embarrassed for asking intimate questions.

She immediately feigned ignorance with a chuckle and switched to another topic. “So… you two have reconciled?”

Since Ellie pouted and kept mum, Clarissa took her silence as a “yes.”

Upon that, Clarissa grinned. “Are you going to get married soon?”

“What? No,” Ellie denied. “I still need to observe him for a period.”

“You’re right. We should never allow men to take advantage of us so easily.” Clarissa concurred.

Speaking of marriage, Ellie turned her attention to Clarissa. “You and Uncle Matt have been living together like a married couple for quite some time now, and you even have a kid with him. So when are you going to hold a proper wedding?” she asked, “The both of you might have experienced some ups and downs throughout the years, but nobody—not even my family members—can stop you from marrying him now!”

Everyone in the city knew Clarissa had borne Matthew a son, but they thought she had yet to earn the right to marry into the family.

What the public did not know was the couple had already registered their marriage.

Clarissa was a low-profile person. Initially, she did not care about what people thought of her, but she no longer wanted people to talk behind her back or make fun of Damian.

“You two should announce to the world for Damian’s sake. Otherwise, people would always view him as the illegitimate son of the Tyson family!”

That was quite a wake-up call for Clarissa, and her expression turned grim right away.

She did not mind being ridiculed by the public, but she had to think of her son’s future.

But even if she decided to hold a wedding now, people would think that Matthew married her just because he was the father to her child. Or people might even continuously regard Damian as a child born out of wedlock.

Rumors like this would further tarnish his reputation as he grew up.

All of a sudden, Clarissa thought of an idea. Once she got home, she immediately looked for her marriage certificate.

Yet, she could not find it after searching for a while. Left without a choice, she decided to give Matthew a call. “Where’s our wedding certificate? Did you lose it?”

He has it, right? He always carries the certificate with him.

Matthew did not answer her directly but asked instead, “What do you need it for?”

“Did you hide it?” she asked.

Matthew grinned. “Yes.”

Clarissa let out a sigh and pouted. “Am I supposed to go on a treasure hunt? Just tell me where did you hide it. I need it.”

But of course, Matthew was not ready to give in so easily. “First, tell me what you need it for.”

Clarissa then told Matthew about the conversation she had with Ellie.

“We kept our marriage a secret because we didn’t want some people to know, but they had all eventually found out about it. I think it’s the right time for us to make a public announcement. We have to do this for Damian.”

Clarissa decided to make this announcement online. She believed Catherine would not find out about this since the Internet was out of her reach.

Upon hearing that, Matthew’s expression turned grim for a moment.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you agree with me?” Clarissa wondered.

He answered, “You’re willing to do this for our son, but you’ve never thought of doing it for me.”

Hearing that, Clarissa was at a loss for words.

“Clare?”

A corner of Clarissa’s lips curled up. I see. Someone’s jealous.
