After one month of abstinence, Clarissa was greeted by a raging tempest in the form of Matthew.
He had made it a point to let her bear the full brunt of his lust, especially after it was held back by abstinence.
She was confined to her home for two whole days without stepping outside. In fact, Damian no longer complained about her going to work.
“Mommy, shall we play the game of war?”
Damian tugged Clarissa’s hand, hoping to go outside as the weather had begun to grow warm. Having grown older now, he began to feel restless at home and insisted Clarissa play outside with him.
However, she was too physically exhausted to play war games with her son. This game is too much for me.
By the time she was panting and could no longer run, she sent Matthew an angry message: Matthew, I hate you… aaargh!
Matthew chuckled when he saw it.
He replied: I know scolding me is your way of showing your affection for me. I really appreciate it.
Clarissa: Assh*le.
Matthew: Mmm-hmm, I could do a lot worse.
Clarissa was so annoyed that she threw her phone away.
I wonder why he is being so smug for.
“Mommy, Mommy, are you done resting? Shall we continue? This time, I’ll be the general and give out the commands while you be the soldier who fights…”
“Ahhh… save me…”
Thinking that Clarissa was playing along, Damian burst out in hearty laughter. He then ran up to Clarissa and lay beside her, laughing delightfully still.
When Matthew returned in the evening, Clarissa ignored him instead.
Therefore, Matthew had to choose between Clarissa and Damian to solve the problem at hand.
He naturally chose his son who was easier to deal with.
Of course, he didn’t avoid Clarissa. Carrying Damian in his arms, he explained, “Damian, Mommy’s body isn’t as strong as a man. Therefore, there are times where she will feel tired because she might be carrying your sister in her tummy. Hence, you can’t play with Mommy like you used to anymore. Instead, you can only play games that are physically gentle or not tiring at all.”
“A sister? Really?”
Damian’s eyes widened as he gave Clarissa a curious look. She could see the delight and anticipation in his eyes.
“When will my sister be out? I can’t wait to start playing with her.”
Matthew replied patiently, “You’ll still need to wait for a few more months. She is still very tiny and needs to grow bigger in Mommy’s belly. Once she has gathered enough energy, she will be strong enough to come out. Therefore, Damian, as her elder brother, you have to have some patience. You need to protect both Mommy and your sister, alright?”
“Mmm-hmm. Daddy, I definitely will.”
After that, Damian walked up to Clarissa and stroked her face. Just like an adult, he did so gently and spoke with a comforting tone.
“Mommy, you have to be good. I will protect both you and my sister.”
Clarissa’s heart melted at Damian’s words. He is just so adorable.
Hugging him tightly, she couldn’t resist kissing him. “Wow, who’s the cutest one in the room? My baby of course. You’re just so adorable that I love you to bits.”
“Hehe… Mommy, I love you to bits too.”
Matthew cringed at how cheesy both the mother and son were behaving.
The moment Clarissa returned to her room, Matthew came over to claim credits.
“Clare, I’ll give you a kiss, and all your worries will go away.”
Rolling her eyes, Clarissa avoided his attempt to hug her.
“Matthew, what’s the point of lying to a child? Telling him too many lies will just cause him to lose his trust in us. Next time, he won’t believe in us adults anymore.”
Instead, Matthew didn’t think that there was anything wrong.
Raising his eyebrows, he replied, “Clare, I’m not necessarily lying. Who knows, Damian’s sister might actually be in your tummy right this moment.”
Clarissa was stumped.
However, despite having broached the topic before, there didn’t seem to be any progress.
She couldn’t help but retort, “No, I just had my period a few days ago. Have you forgotten?”
“But, didn’t we try recently too?”
His response caused Clarissa to choke.
“You seem confident. Do you have any ideas?”
“Not really. We just have to continue working hard.”
Hah, what a good excuse!
Clarissa snorted before letting out a sarcastic smile. Is he expecting me to praise him for being such smarty pants?
“Clare, does that smile of yours means that you agree with what I said?”
