Chapter 423 Damian Grabs The Limelight
Someone was knocking on the door, so Clarissa went to get it. She was in casual attire, and she didn't have any makeup on.
When she looked through the peephole, she saw a beautiful woman smiling at her. “Hi, come in.”
Clarissa welcomed them in with a smile. “My husband went to the gym, and the kids are still sleeping, but I'll wake them up now.”
The photographer followed Clarissa upstairs into a room. Once the light was switched on, they saw that it was a very boyish room. The room was spacious, and it was filled with toys typically boys would play with, including a tent, a telescope, model guns, and model cars.
A young boy was sleeping soundly on the lower bunk of the bed.
“Wake up, Damian.”
Damian didn't stir, so Clarissa kept waking him up. Eventually, Damian rubbed his eyes unhappily, then Clarissa picked him up and kept waking him up.
“The shooting's today. You promised Daddy you'd make a lot of money so you can buy me pretty clothes and shiny diamonds. And you said you'd support Leia.”
Damian had grown up a little since he was already six. Compared to his peers, he was a lot more mature, so he'd see his promise through no matter what.
But when he realized the photographer was taking his pictures, he leaned closer to his mother shyly. “Hey, stop it. I don't have any clothes on,” he said sheepishly.
He had his underwear on though, so he wasn't fully naked.
The camera trembled for a bit since the photographer laughed in amusement. The photographer took a shot of the room, and Damian changed into new clothes when the camera wasn't on him. After that, he went to take a shower, but Clarissa didn't help him.
While Clarissa was making the bed, the producing director asked, “Why is it a bunk bed? Is he sharing a room with his sister?”
“No. He just wants a bed where he can move around. Where he sleeps depends on his mood. Sometimes he even sleeps in the tent.”
“So does lower bunk mean he's in a good mood or nah?”
Clarissa smirked at the camera. “I'm not sure, since he might sleep in both bunks even if he's not in a good mood. There's no pattern to it.”
The producing director was slightly amused.
After Damian was done with his shower, he wore the clothes Clarissa prepared for him all by himself before going downstairs with his mother.
Damian was already fully awake then, and he was staring at the camera curiously. At one point, he even poked the lens and smiled handsomely, melting the producing director and photographer's hearts.
“Hi, I'm Damian. What's your name, miss? I want to see your face, mister. Can I?” Once Damian got to know the producing staff, he started chatting with them.
Matthew had just returned from his workout when Clarissa came down, so he wanted to hug her, but Clarissa pushed him away in embarrassment. “There's a camera here.”
Matthew looked sharply at the camera, and the photographer could feel himself getting cut by Matthew's look alone.
Of course, Matthew wouldn't be that gentle to anyone aside from his wife, so he only nodded at the photographer. Then, he ignored him and kissed Clarissa before going upstairs. When he went past Damian, he patted his son's cheek and went back to his room.
Clarissa's face turned pink, then she went to the dining room to resume making breakfast, while Damian was fooling around with the camera.
Once everyone was around the table, the producing director asked, “Can we see your daughter, please?”
Matthew shot the producing director a sharp glare, while Clarissa smiled apologetically. “She sleeps a lot, and we can't wake her up that easily.”
The producing staff thought it was a shame they couldn't see what the legendary daughter of the Tysons looked like.
After Clarissa took out Matthew and Damian's luggage, she sighed. “I'm counting on you, Damian.”
Damian thumped his chest. “Don't worry, Mommy. I'll take care of Daddy.”
Clarissa chuckled, while Matthew arched his eyebrow at the precocious boy. Then, he looked at his wife and kissed her cheeks. He didn't want to leave, but he must.
“Alright, you guys should go now. You don't want to miss your flight.”
After Matthew and Damian kissed Clarissa goodbye, they went into the car, but once they did, Damian's attitude changed. He was looking cheerful earlier, but now he was on the verge of tears.
He looked at Clarissa tearfully through the rear mirror, but he refused to cry.
Matthew looked at his son, but he didn't console Damian whatsoever; instead, he calmly made a few calls and settled some work.
Damian had already stopped crying when he hung up. He was looking at the camera in the car and started messing with it. “Don't you feel like crying, Daddy? I'm starting to miss Mommy.” Damian wasn't feeling as upset at that point, so he started talking.
Matthew was acting as cool as usual. “You're a man. You shouldn't be crying for your mother all the time.”
You little brat...
Why you little...
