You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 356

Clarissa didn’t want the Wynters to reveal the news. However, Damon asked to see her within the next few days.

As Ellie didn’t join them, Clarissa knew that Jacque and his wife must have said something to Damon.

Just as expected, Damon’s expression was grim when he met her.

After a long silence, Clarissa couldn’t help but chuckle. “What are you thinking about?”

Clucking his tongue, Damon took a seat before sighing remorsefully.

“I was thinking what a close shave it was. Luckily, you didn’t accept me. Or else, it would have turned into incest.”

“Sheesh, stop with that nonsense.”

Damon smiled wryly. “Although we aren’t biological siblings, we’re still cousins. Hence, I’m no longer in competition to vie for you. Prior to this, I was considering getting together with you after Uncle Matthew pass on with age. Given the age gap, he would likely meet his maker much earlier than us.”

Obviously Damon was just joking.

Clarissa shook her head and smiled in resignation. “You had better give up on that idea. However, I did tell them to keep it under wraps still. Were you the only one they told? Or does the entire Wynter family know?”

If the entire Wynter family knew, it was the equivalent of making it public.

“Don’t worry. Only I know about it. Besides, the reason Aunt Sandra told me about it was that she wanted me to talk to you, hoping that they could get to know you better. Anyway, I’m just passing on her message. She mentioned that she likes you a lot and you’re so much more capable than you know who. Hence, she sincerely hopes that you can acknowledge us as your family and not be a stranger. Furthermore, you cannot change the fact that you are related to us by blood.”

Damon added, “Obviously, I don’t share her sentiments. If I were you, I would feel equally lost. After all, the complexity of this issue goes beyond just a few words. You should do as you see fit. Today, I’m not here to talk you into it. Instead, I just want to spend some time bonding with my cousin.”

Staring at Damon, Clarissa pursed her lips into a grin.

All of a sudden, Damon spread out his arms. “How about a hug, dear cousin?”

Clarissa couldn’t resist a chuckle. She then hugged Damon before they exchanged smiling glances.

The feelings they previously felt for each other had been nothing more than platonic. Nevertheless, their friendship and familial affection had survived the trials and tribulations of time.

A while later, the nanny returned with Damian from the washroom. After being placed in between both of them, they took turns caring for him.

After the meal, Damon walked them to their car. Before they left, he leaned on the door and gazed at them. At that moment, Damian excitedly acknowledged Damon as his uncle. Now that they were related, the child figured he would get more presents by doing so. In fact, he even sent him a flying kiss.

The next day, the warm scene mysteriously found its way to the internet.

Furthermore, the news was stamped with the word “Exposed”. The picture was accompanied by the description: Wife meets male companion in secret with son who adores the man. Husband at work and oblivious about liaison.

The picture was blurry but their silhouettes were clear. Although the exposé didn’t say much, the first thing that came to everyone’s mind when they saw it was: affair!

In less than half an hour, the news went viral.

Some felt that it was just an ordinary meeting between friends. After all, they were sharing a meal in broad daylight.

While some others felt that it was unnecessary to bring a child to a meeting with a male friend. The fact that the child was there aroused the suspicion of the public.

Some of them even suspected that the child might have belonged to the man given how close they were.

Despite how ridiculous the rumors were, the netizens didn’t care for the truth. They just loved believing in what they wanted and enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

Their comments largely contained the words: affair, illegitimate child, betrayal, prominent family, fortune…

However, as it was still early, Clarissa was either not up yet or helping her son brush his teeth.

She had no idea she was mercilessly slandered online. Everyone blamed her for betraying Matthew and even having someone else’s child. In the future, the child would inherit the Tyson fortune and she would subsequently dump Matthew to be reunited with her lover…

Furthermore, it didn’t stop there.

There would always be an unnamed source divulging insider information. She was being accused of meeting the man in secret and sleeping with him. The description was so detailed that it sounded as if the person had witnessed the act itself.

In the end, Clarissa only found out about it when one of her loyal readers called her after she didn’t respond to her messages.

When the reader heard Clarissa’s silence, her heart sank.

“Clarissa, the consensus in the group chat is that we trust you. We know someone is trying to malign you. So, don’t be angry. Once we find out who did it, we will make him apologize and suffer the consequences…”

Suppressing her emotions, Clarissa thanked the reader before ending the call.
