You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 362

Clarissa was not making a big fuss out of anything. She was really disappointed with Matthew. Why can’t he wrap his head around my feeling? Doesn’t he know that both Damian and I would be greatly affected by the DNA test?

It is indeed a slap in the face for a woman when her child needs to undergo a DNA test. For the others, there is no smoke without fire. We can’t blame them for assuming that the woman is leading a promiscuous life, no matter how the result turns out to be. If not, her child doesn’t have to undergo a DNA test, isn’t it?

As for Damian, from the moment he undergoes a DNA test, it would trigger others’ suspicion that he might be an illegitimate child. Even if he is proven as the Tysons’ flesh and blood via the result of the DNA test, others might be gossiping about that. What’s more, those malicious people might even stir up trouble by claiming that the result is faked. Subsequently, he would have to bear with how others look and gossip about him for the rest of his lifetime. It’s really unfair for Damian if he has to face that! That is the final straw for me!

It’s undeniable that everyone tends to have an ugly side. Words can kill. They are unaware that they are unfair to others when gossiping as they like and twist the facts. No, I can’t let Damian go through a DNA test. Once he undergoes any, it would become a nightmare that haunts him for the rest of his lifetime. What if it’s made use by others to slander him when he grows up?

Clarissa could not accept the way Matthew had the matter resolved. She wondered if he would ever know about the implication of the DNA test for Damian. Besides, she would not be surprised if the issue gradually turned into a snowball effect, hindering both of them from reconciling.

At night, Matthew and Damian had a video call with each other. Damian dragged Clarissa to show her face in front of the phone screen. Nonetheless, she was still not in the mood to say anything. After all, silence is golden. Thus, she remained silent to avoid having a further dispute with Matthew.

In the following days, Clarissa either took Damian out shopping for Christmas or accompanied Catherine for a short vacation in the cities nearby. As time elapsed, the whole W City was engulfed by the lively atmosphere of the advancing festival.

Clarissa made up her mind to enjoy the fullest before and after Christmas. It’s a blessing to be able to kick back at home, doing nothing at the moment. This is indeed the most relaxing moment for me throughout the whole year! I don’t have to rack my brains for anything as well.

Once in a while, she would take time to bring him out for fun. W City was actually not a big city. One day, Clarissa bumped into an ex-classmate when Damian was having fun in an indoor playground of a shopping mall.

“Clarissa? Is that you?” A woman seated not far from Clarissa called out her name. While keeping an eye on her daughter who was having fun in the playground, she happened to catch a glimpse of Clarissa. After glancing at her a few times, she realized that Clarissa really resembled her ex-classmate.

Clarissa was stunned and turned to look at her instinctively. For quite a while, she tried to recall who the woman was.

In an instant, the woman told her excitedly, “It’s me, Tianna Ziegler. It never crossed my mind that I will bump into you here! It’s been so many years. The rest of us still keep in touch with our group chat all these years. Many of us have been trying to contact you, yet we don’t have your contact details. It’s really a coincidence to bump into you here!”

Contrary to her excitement, Clarissa was not really pleased with such a coincidence. She only smiled nonchalantly and said, “Yeah, what a coincidence.”

“You still look as pretty as ever. We are already in our late twenties, yet you didn’t really change. No, I should say that you are prettier and even more stylish now. I bet those of our male classmates will have their eyes popped out if they happen to bump into you now!”

Clarissa smiled in embarrassment. Nonetheless, Tianna started to babble non-stop. “Do you know that we’re really proud of you for entering D University at that time? Too bad we have lost contact with you. Some of them even grumbled that you looked down on us. Others even mentioned that…”

As she was babbling non-stop, Clarissa did not really pay attention to her words. She was overwhelmed that Tianna was still talkative as ever even after so many years.

“Ah! Is that your son? I never expect that you are already married! Why didn’t you inform any of us about it? Where is your husband from? What is his occupation? Haha, sorry if I’m asking a lot. I’m just curious if he’s worthy of you. After all, you were deemed the prettiest among all during our school days!”

After having some small talks with her, Clarissa stood up and walked toward Damian who was drenched in sweat in the playground. At the same time, she hoped to escape from Tianna by doing so.

Out of her expectation, Tianna followed behind her as well and introduced her daughter to Damian. Damian was over the moon to have a new friend and even held the girl’s hand excitedly right away. Clarissa twitched her lips as she was rendered speechless.

After almost one hour, Damian’s energy was almost drained. Clarissa took the opportunity to talk him into going home. She could barely wait to leave the place with him at once!

“Hey, Clarissa, can I have your contact number?” Tianna asked eagerly.

“I’m sorry. My phone was stolen.” Clarissa tried to give an excuse.

“It doesn’t matter. You lost the phone, yet the number is in use, right? Moreover, you surely need a new phone soon. It’s just unusual for anyone to live without a phone number in these modern days. Just give me your number. Don’t worry. I won’t call you if there’s nothing.”
