You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 327

A smile crept up Clarissa’s face as she beamed while Matthew shrugged innocently.

“Hear that? Both Damian and I will have to eat lesser now so you don’t have to work so hard.”

“Pfft, not you too.” Clarissa laughed.

She then turned her head toward Damian with a smile. “Actually Damian, Daddy earns enough money for us. Don’t believe his lies.”

Clarissa did not want to give her son a false belief that their family was struggling with finances.

Upon hearing that, Damian’s perked up. “In that case, Mommy doesn’t need to earn money anymore. So just come back home, Mommy.”

“I can’t do that, Darling. I’ve promised others that I’ll be working. We have to keep our promises. If not, we would become untrustworthy people hated by others. You don’t want me to be hated, do you, Darling?”

Damian pouted as he mulled over Clarissa’s reasoning. After a while, he admitted reluctantly. “No, Mommy. I will wait for you at home, then. Come back soon!”

“That’s my boy. You’re the best, Darling. Such an obedient boy.”

Damian’s eyes lit up as he received the compliment, turning his scowl into a grin immediately. His chubby cheeks added to the adorableness.

Clarissa puckered up her lips and blew a kiss at the screen.

Damian reciprocated by kissing the camera directly.

Clarissa guffawed at the other end of the call, clutching her stomach. Matthew stroked Damian’s hair before saying, “Don’t kiss the phone, Damian. Wait till Mommy comes back, then you can give her a big kiss.”

He then turned his gaze onto Clarissa, his eyes boring into her before he added, “And so will I.”

Clarissa’s face reddened instantly. She averted her gaze and continued talking to Damian. If she hadn’t, her face would have turned into the color of a tomato.

After the call, Clarissa and Hilda worked on the script, reviewing it once again from the top, and made some changes according to the requests mentioned during the meeting.

The duo kept working till it was almost midnight. Out of the blue, Clarissa’s phone rang.

The caller ID showed Matthew’s name on the screen. Thinking that something had happened, Clarissa picked up immediately. What came next, however, was completely out of her expectations.

“Clare, I miss you.” Matthew’s magnetic voice sounded on the other end.

Clarissa was at a loss for words.

A furious blush crept up her cheeks and neck. Her reddened face did not escape Hilda’s notice, and the latter quickly gathered her things before exiting Clarissa’s room.

Clarissa closed the door behind her before whining in disapproval. “Why are you still awake? It’s almost midnight.”

Matthew was silent for a moment before he sighed helplessly.

“The little guy just fell asleep,”

“Why was he up so late?”

“Because you’re not around to stop him from playing. I only managed to get him to bed after much difficulty. Now that you’re not here, I just realized that I don’t seem to have any power nor authority over that kid.”

“Pfft!”

Clarissa chuckled lightly. Aww, doesn’t he sound pitiful?

“Well, it’s your fault for spoiling him all the time. I’ve warned you that he is a sharp and observant boy. I had to be strict with him, unlike you and everyone else who just caved into his coquettish behavior. As time goes by, he’s bound to know that you’re a softie.”

“Alright, you’re strict, I’m soft. At least it balances out. I just can’t believe that I, the powerful Matthew Tyson, would become so powerless dealing with my own son. Anyone would see this as a joke.”

“You’re the one who dug your own grave.” Clarissa laughed.

“Yeah… which is why I miss you.”

“Huh?”

Clarissa was stunned by the sudden change of topic. Her face began to feel hot again. “Do you only miss me because I know how to coax Damian?” She pouted.

“Of course not. I just miss you.”

That’s more like it, thought Clarissa.

She smiled wordlessly at Matthew’s confession. Hearing no response, Matthew could not help but ask, “Do you not miss me, Clare?”

“I do!” Clarissa answered softly but sweetly.

She quickly added, “I’m only here for a few days. So stop bothering me! You’re making me want to go home right this second. But I have to stay here for at least a couple more days. I can’t be so irresponsible.”

Contempt could be heard in her voice.

“Is that disdain I hear in your tone?”

Oops… I think I just pissed him off.

“Of course not, you’re mistaken,” retorted Clarissa quickly. “But be reasonable. I didn’t bother you all the time when you go on business trips. I only called to check up on you, and not distracting you from your work. Can you do the same for me?”

At those words, Matthew was silenced.

Thinking she had won the argument, Clarissa smiled triumphantly. “Alright, be a good husband now, and wait for me at home, won’t you? I’ll reward your patience once I return.”

Matthew smiled tenderly at the phone as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “And what will my reward be?”

“Hmm… a feast!”

“Do you think that’s enough, Clare?”

Clarissa rolled her eyes. “What else do you want, then?”

“Don’t you know what your own Hubby wants, Clare?”
