You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 311

Despite what was going through her mind, it barely elicited an emotional response from her.

After all, there could only be one explanation.

“What are you thinking about?”

Matthew lowered his gaze at Clarissa when she fell silent.

The woman shook her head with a smile. “Nothing in particular. I’m just thinking about where to go with Ellie and Damian. She plans to go to Snow Village, which Damian is also keen on after being showed some pictures.”

“But I’ve been very busy recently…”

“You’re not coming with us.”

When she saw how Matthew was upset at being ostracized, Clarissa stroked his face and coaxed him like she would a child.

“Be good. We didn’t want to disrupt your work as we’re aware of how busy you are. As long as you work hard, we will send you updates from time to time. Before you know it, we will be back.”

In response, Matthew lifted Clarissa’s fingers and bit them gently.

“Don’t you love me anymore? Why are you not bringing me along when you’re out enjoying yourself?”

Pfft, he sounds like a grumpy old maid.

Clarissa teased at once, “Love? Of course I do. In fact, my love for you grows by the day…”

Despite just being flattery, Matthew enjoyed hearing them still.

Obviously, he wasn’t dumb enough to compare himself with Damian. That would just be looking for trouble.

Just as Clarissa was in the planning stages of the trip, many others clamored to tag along.

They included Joshua, Damon, Jeremy, Yarick, and their respective partners. Furthermore, Henry somehow managed to convince Yaala to join them too.

Clarissa felt helpless as she knew it wasn’t going to be easy managing such a large entourage. Therefore, after discussing with Ellie, they decided to hire someone to organize the trip for them. After all, their group was big enough to form a tour group on its own.

All of them set off gloriously to the airport by bus. For some of them, it was the first time they were sitting in one. When they arrived at the airport, they were surrounded by reporters who kept taking photos of them.

It was a situation Clarissa hadn’t expected. Nevertheless, a group of bodyguards quickly came to manage the ruckus. Clarissa and Damian’s mysterious identities were undoubtedly the prize the reporters coveted.

After they boarded the plane, Yaala stated lowly, “Clarissa, the reporters likely came because of me.”

Shaking his head, Henry quickly defended his girl, “I don’t think so. After all, your movements have always been discreet. It must probably be someone else.”

The next moment, Henry shot a glance at Jeremy, acting as if he was the culprit.

“No, Henry. What’s with the look? Despite how eligible I am, I have kept a low profile recently. Therefore, I’m not the one who attracted the paparazzi. What about Yarick? Isn’t his new girlfriend an internet celebrity?”

“Enough. Don’t blame everything on me. She’s a small-time celebrity. There’s no way she could have attracted such a huge horde of reporters.”

“In that case, why?”

Taking out his phone, Damon scrolled through it before explaining in a sarcastic manner, “Dear sirs, all of you have declared to the world that you’re going on a trip. How can anyone not know? Whoever is interested can quickly find out by just checking the internet.”

Henry, Yarick, and Jeremy had posted on their social media accounts that they were traveling to Snow Village. All of them sounded especially childish while doing so. Furthermore, Yaala, too, had done the same, while Ellie had announced it to all her friends…

Therefore, it had become public knowledge.

As for Clarissa and Damian, they were the only ones innocent.

Thereafter, everyone scratched their noses awkwardly. None of them had expected the paparazzi to appear. The paparazzi themselves had staked out the airport for many days and were finally rewarded for their efforts.

They had managed to capture the photo of the mysterious woman and her son.

Somehow, the paparazzi had been tipped off about the appearance of Matthew’s illegitimate son. Furthermore, everyone who appeared at the airport was either his friend or associate, including Ellie, who was his niece. Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to deduce who the lady carrying the child was.

However, despite having taken pictures, there was nothing more they could do other their sharing them within their circle. Most of the pictures weren’t clear, and whatever news that resulted was quickly censored.

Hence, the exposure didn’t result in any issues in the end.

After the group on vacation disembarked from the plane and headed to the hotel, they encountered heavy snowfall. Sticking his face to the window, Damian watched on in awe.

“Mommy, Mommy, everywhere is being blanketed in snow… It’s beautiful.”

Amazed at his rapidly improving vocabulary, Clarissa smiled.

Realizing something, Judy smiled as she explained to her husband. “Hubby, I remember now. The name of the family then was Smallwood.”

“Really?”

Although they finally obtained information about Shermaine, they felt disappointed because she was in prison.

How are we going to extort any sum of money from someone in prison? Judy was visibly dejected.

However, her husband suggested, “Although she may be in prison, her family is rich! Besides, she used to be a famous star. I’m sure she still has a lot of money. Don’t worry; we will definitely get something out of her. Come, let’s visit the pitiful lady. Haha!”

With their hearts set ablaze by their desire for profit, the couple braved the freezing cold and headed out.

“Shermaine, you have visitors.”

At that moment, Shermaine was reading quietly in the prison library. When she heard the prison guard’s words, she looked up with a smile. Following him out, she said with a smile, “Thank you, officer.”

“You’re welcome.”

Along the way, Shermaine didn’t say a word. Instead, it was the prison guard that remarked, “You have been behaving very well. As long as you keep this up, you will reunite with your family soon.”

Feeling dispassionate, the woman thanked him with a faint smile.

“Thank you, officer.”

“Alright, there you go.”

James and Kayla were the ones visiting. Whenever Kayla saw her daughter, she would always burst into tears. Despite doing so for the last three years, her tears never dried up.

As for Shermaine, she could now calmly face her parents whenever they visited. She was no longer as emotional as before. Whenever they asked her how she was doing, she would always tell them she was fine. Three years had changed her a lot. The anger she felt all those years was now reduced to nothing more than a relaxed smile. She no longer lost her temper easily and had become more reasonable. She had also loved to learn and help others…

She was a totally different person compared to her three years ago.

Given how she had changed, it only intensified the heartache her parents felt.

“Shermaine, don’t worry. Uncle Jacque tells us you will be released very soon.”
