You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow
Chapter 395

What sort of needs and wants is he talking about?

The things related to the production of the movie were the only things Clarissa had in mind. Therefore, she couldn't fathom the thing Matthew had brought up.

She asked in return, "What sort of needs and wants are you talking about?"

He then inched over and ensured she could feel the throbbing in between his legs.

Immediately after she felt him, she flushed in silence. Unfortunately, he got increasingly aroused the more she retaliated against him.

Clarissa stopped retaliating and stayed still in between his arms. She asked, "Are you sure this is the time and place for that when it's time for us to start our day and tend to the things we have on our schedules?"

Afraid of offending him for real, she was extremely mindful of her choice of words and tried to negotiate with him. Otherwise, he might ignore everything else and let loose of himself.

On the other hand, Matthew leaned over and licked her ear. He then chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'm going to devour you?"

"H-Huh? N-No! S-Shall we talk about it once I'm home tonight? I mean, we're running out of time="

Matthew finally inched away from her. When he caught a glimpse of her cheeky look, he flicked her on the forehead.

"Our son needs you as much as I do! Make sure you're free on Friday afternoon to catch him performing on stage! If you can't make it, he's going to be so disappointed!"

"O-Oh..."

It was then Clarissa figured out the things Matthew wished to tell her. After spending a few seconds in guilt, she glared at Matthew in the eyes and threw a punch on his chest. "Urgh! Can't you tell me in a serious manner instead of pulling my leg?"

Matthew rebuked with a smile, "I'm just trying to tell you my needs and wants before telling you our son's! I mean, I can't afford to have you prioritize our son's needs and wants over mine! You need to treat us both fair and square, okay? Speaking of which, when are we going to get Damian another younger sibling? Isn't it about time to take this seriously?"

"Come again? Aren't you aware of the things I have on my schedule? We'll talk about it once I'm done dealing with the things on my plate! Also, get rid of your urge on your own!"

"No!"

"Haven't you always taken care of it without me back in the day?"

"I'm not going to take care of it without your aid since you're around!"

Clarissa was rendered speechless by her husband's reply. Her lips started twitching against her will as she marched her way upstairs.

Matthew went after her and offered to give her a ride to the set.

Clarissa had everything rescheduled on Friday and ensured she could make it to Damian's school for his performance in the afternoon.

She reached home at noon and got herself dressed up for their son's performance in the afternoon.

In order to make her son proud, she ensured she dolled herself up properly according to societal standards of beauty.

Matthew was on his way back to Zen Highlands as well.

Out of the blue, Clarissa, who was in the middle of deciding the pair of shoes to go along with her dress, noticed she had an incoming call.

She picked it up without any hesitation and asked, "Are you reaching yet? I'm almost done!"

To her surprise, the person on the other end of the call wasn't Matthew.

Instead, she heard a woman asking in an irritating voice, "Are you trying to deceive me, Clarissa? When are you going to announce we have patched things up? It has been quite some time since our last conversation!"

Clarissa responded with a frown when she found out it was Hilary on the other end of the call.

Had Hilary not brought that up, Clarissa would forget about the deal she had with her. She had no intention to honor her promise just yet as well.

"I'm in the middle of something! I'll post it as soon as I'm free in the evening!"

"Are you sure you're not trying to deceive me again? I'm not really in a great mood today! Stop getting on my nerves and post it at once! Otherwise, I'll do it on our behalf!"

If Hilary is the one making the announcement, I'm pretty sure she's going to make things up and accuse me of something I have never said or done!

Clarissa was utterly disgusted by the persistent Hilary. She had no intention to waste her time with her so-called mother anymore.

In the end, she announced, "I'll post it immediately! Also, stop getting in touch with me because I have a lot of things to do!"

Immediately after she wrapped up the conversation, she logged into her Twitter account and made an announcement.

She had no intention to waste her time with the netizens' comments since she would be meeting her son soon. Never would she allow others to ruin her day and get in the way of such an important occasion. Shortly after Matthew made his way back, he got himself changed into another set of outfits. It was evident they placed great emphasis on their son's performance.

Matthew had put on his custom-made coat, whereas Clarissa was in a crimson dress that was equally elegant.

They had gone to great lengths to ensure they could live up to the name of Damian's parents.

Clarissa wrapped her arm around Matthew's and alighted from the car one after another. They exchanged glances with a smile.

As they marched into the hall, Clarissa said, "I'm so nervous! I wasn't even as nervous when I was part of an international show! Hopefully, we're not going to embarrass our son!"

Matthew glanced at the woman next to him and responded with a simple nod. He praised her, "You have done a great job dolling yourself up in a proper manner without putting on any ostentatious items." She secretly clasped their fingers together and denoted, "I liked that you're being so honest!"

Has she always been such an adorable and needy woman? If we're not in the public, I'll definitely kiss her on the lips!

As soon as they marched into the hall, their son's homeroom teacher showed their son and his fellow classmates the way to the hall.

Damian had put on the formal uniform of the school. Clarissa couldn't take it anymore as it made him seem as though he had matured over the night.

Initially, Damian was caught up with helping his homeroom teacher as he wasn't aware his parents were there. When he saw them, he couldn't conceal his excitement anymore.

The timid little boy approached his parents with a satisfied beam. He grasped his mother's hand and started complimenting her, "Mommy, you're so gorgeous!"

"My son is very handsome as well!" Clarissa returned the favor and started caressing Damian's head.

"Mommy, come over and have a seat!"

He showed his parents the way to their seats and announced his achievement with his chest held high.

As much as he wished to carry on with the conversation, it was time for him to leave since he had to get ready for the upcoming performance.

Clarissa asserted, "We'll be here until the end of your performance! Once you're done, we'll bring you out for a meal with us! We'll carry on with the conversation tonight, okay?"

After she wrapped up their conversation, Damian returned to his homeroom teacher's side.

The performance began with a speech from the representative of the teachers. It was the first time Clarissa was part of the school's event. She was afraid the teachers would reprimand her son for being a naughty boy.

To her surprise, that wasn't the case. In fact, the teacher complimented Damian for being a helpful student. Clarissa was unable to hold back her pride as the little boy's mother anymore.

Clarissa couldn't believe the things she deemed trivial could bring her so much joy. She was proud that her son had brought his homeroom teacher the cent he found on his way back to the classroom.

I'm so proud of Damian! He's such an exceptional young man! I think he's superior to his peers in many aspects!

While Clarissa continued indulging in the honorable moments, Matthew was in a conversation with the parents of their son's peers.

Matthew was the one who had enrolled Damian in that particular school. Clarissa deemed it the cradle of the upper echelon since most of the students were the heir or heiress of a renowned family. A few of them were closely acquainted with Matthew.

They had established some sort of special relationship since their children were friends with one another as well.

Soon, the performance started under the guidance of their homeroom teacher.

The little ones had changed into costumes of different kinds of animals. They were about to perform a skit they had been practicing.

However, the audience burst out laughing due to all sorts of accidents that had occurred throughout the show. Nevertheless, they had a great time and applauded at the end of the show.

Meanwhile, Damian, who was nowhere to be seen, finally showed up on stage and took Clarissa by surprise with his performance.

It turned out he would have to recite a classic poem of a renowned poet. As a screenwriter, Clarissa had exposed him to all sorts of poems. Afraid he might be irked, she had never once forced him to recite any of those.

To her surprise, he was capable of reciting it without any problem.

Damian, who was on the stage, successfully recited the poem without forgetting its content. As a result, Clarissa couldn't stop herself from applauding and showed him a thumbs up for a job well done.

The rest of the parents and teachers wouldn't stop complimenting Damian in front of Matthew and Clarissa. However, none of those could please them as much as a cuddle from Damian.

The performance merely lasted for a short while. Matthew, Clarissa, and Damian departed shortly after the closing ceremony.

The little boy turned into a chatterbox and couldn't stop himself from sharing the things he had in mind with his mother.

It was the first time in a long time the family of three had the chance to gather around for a meal.

After they finished their meal, they thought they would get to spend some quality time together at home, but a call brought the session to a halt.

Upon a simple glimpse at her phone, Clarissa found out it was another call from Hilary.

She picked it up and heard the irritating voice stuttering, "H-Help me, Clary-"

Hilary couldn't even finish her sentence as the conversation was brought to a halt with a loud shriek.

Startled, Clarissa dropped her phone.

Matthew rushed over to Clarissa's side and asked with a concerned look, "Is everything fine?"

Staring at her husband in the eyes, Clarissa had her fair share of doubts and horrifying thoughts. She kept those to herself and said, "I'm not sure, but I'm afraid something bad has happened to Hilary!" Her husband narrowed his eyes to a slit and announced, "I'll make a trip to the hotel with you."
