You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 403

Did I just underestimate my own son’s ability to adapt and cope?

No, something’s not adding up. He was saying that I should be the one worrying about losing my status quo.

Is he suggesting that it is possible for them to shower all their love in the baby daughter and might neglect me in the process?

Clarissa furrowed her brows in worry.

The father and son were eagerly anticipating for a daughter, and she could already sense that her position in the family would be threatened.

Ah, that’s sad.

Clarissa smiled wryly. She almost felt like crying but was feeling too sluggish to even do so.

Ah, it’s better that I just keep quiet.

Damian transfixed his gaze on his mother’s belly. He reached out and caressed Clarissa’s belly. Anticipation was written all over his little face as he wished for a cute and pretty little sister. Damian was already thinking about how he could bring his little sister out to play, and how he was going to tell her bedtime stories…

Clarissa was oblivious to what was on Damian’s mind.

Matthew came back and gave Clarissa the pregnancy test kit.

Frowning, she got off the bed and headed for the bathroom while Matthew waited outside the bathroom eagerly as if it was his first time being a father.

In fact, it was his first time experiencing this sort of feeling.

When Clarissa was pregnant with Damian, Matthew had missed the chance to share the sentiment. However, it was different this time. It was the first child that he was able to experience the whole range of emotions—apprehension, anticipation, and even a little excitement, all of it intensified by the prospect that it may be a daughter that he was hoping for.

Damian lifted his head and looked at father, and his little hand reached out to grasp his father’s.

To Matthew’s surprise, the little guy was comforting him.

“Daddy, baby sister is coming.”

Matthew’s eyes glinted. “Yes, she is.”

He knew that the little guy was just playing guess, and his son’s words were not to be taken seriously. However, Matthew knew better than to question the inexplicably wondrous nature of children’s words.

Matthew hoped that his son was right, and that the little princess that he had been hoping for was finally here.

Right then, Clarissa made her way out of the bathroom and gave Matthew the pregnancy test calmly before she lay down on the bed again.

She closed her eyes and yawned. I can finally sleep.

The two red stripes on the pregnancy test left Matthew stunned and surprised for a long time.

He wanted to exclaim in joy to express his delight. However, at the sight of the woman sprawled out in bed tiredly, he was overcome with apprehension.

He hurriedly made his way over to the bedside and looked at her. “Clare, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Let’s go to the hospital right now.”

Feeling annoyed, Clarissa knitted her brows and said, “I want to sleep.”

“Huh? Okay then, sleep…”

Matthew lowered his voice and dared not say anything further. That being said, he still felt a surge of warm feeling coursing through his heart at the sight of the woman in bed.

The man had not noticed that Damian already made his way over to Clarissa’s side too.

Damian did not seem at all unhappy about being neglected. On the other hand, he was overjoyed to be able to have a baby sister soon.

Matthew carried his son and swung him around happily. The little guy broke into a chortle.

“Quiet, please.”

Clarissa grumbled and the father and son duo went mute and exchanged glances with each other with a smile.

The getaway trip started with Clarissa’s surprise. Despite feeling sluggish, she still pulled through and the little family went back with an extra family member.

Matthew was even more careful after knowing that Clarissa was pregnant. He arranged for a day flight back and made sure that no reporters were present to disturb Clarissa. Besides, he also made sure that his wife was not plagued by any negative news, and minimized the use of any electronics that might harm her. He took a step further by asking Julia to take care of any corners that would not suit a pregnant woman back at home and even prepared a new nursery room. However, the room would not be ready until some time later. Hence, Matthew planned on getting Clarissa’s input in the matter.

Matthew’s efforts had been proven to be an overkill.
