You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 417

Shermaine has a half-brother of a different mother? Hilary must have fallen for Clarissa’s father when she was pregnant!

On top of that, she had a different affair with another man after getting married to Clarissa’s father! In other words, she had conceived Shermaine during her affair with another man when she was engaged to Clarissa’s father!

Shermaine’s father was merely a thug back in the day. However, he was lucky to have acquired a fortune over the night. Hence, he couldn’t be bothered by his affair with Hilary since he had started a family with another woman.

It turns out Shermaine was never a member of the Quigleys! Hilary wouldn’t have thought her so-called daughter was the daughter of the thug she deemed unrelated at all.

Maybe she was aware of the truth but made up her mind to keep everyone in the dark for her sake.

Shermaine is such a disgusting woman! I can’t believe she’s a fan of incest with her half-brother!

“We have gotten everything under control and taken those involved into custody. Therefore, they’re not suspicious of anything at the moment.”

Matthew nodded and instructed, “Keep this confidential from Clare for the time being. I don’t want anyone or anything to get in her way and cause her any trouble.”

“Alright.”

Matthew was afraid others would mess around with Clarissa. He was glad their daughter was around to keep her occupied. Therefore, he needed to keep her in the dark to ensure she had adequate rest.

As long as Clarissa was home, Matthew would keep her safe at all costs in spite of things spiraling out of control out there.

Seconds after Donnie excused himself and departed, Matthew made his way to the nursery room and found out their daughter had fallen asleep in Clarissa’s arms.

He grinned when he saw his wife and son beaming in the presence of their daughter.

He approached his family with a gentle smile and thought he was lucky to have been blessed with such a happy family.

The little girl, who was not much different from a chunk of meat, seemed to have morphed into an adorable infant over the night.

The little girl was blessed with ethereal-looking facial features and resembled the gorgeous Clarissa a lot.

She had relatively fair skin as compared to her peers. It was evident she would turn into a woman as gorgeous as her mother in the future.

Matthew, who had always wanted a daughter, never had the chance to hold the little girl in his arms because he was afraid of hurting her.

After all, she wasn’t even the size of his forearm. He was afraid he would easily injure her had he failed to stop himself from exercising his strength.

On top of that, he had been quite occupied with all sorts of things since the time they were still at the hospital. Thus, he thought of going along with the flow.

It was the first time the thought of holding his daughter in his arms crossed his mind. Nonetheless, he was afraid he would accidentally bruise her with his coarse fingers.

In the end, he inched away the moment he stretched his arms in an attempt to reach her.

Clarissa chuckled and teased, “You need to stop being afraid of hurting her. Otherwise, you’ll just have to stay away from her until she has grown bigger.”

Matthew leaned over and hesitated even after Clarissa assured him it would be fine. He was also afraid of rousing their daughter from sleep.

Out of the blue, Damian held his father’s hand and whispered, “Daddy, she’s so small and adorable!”

“You’re not allowed to pinch her, okay?”

Damian was irked by his father’s remark. He pouted his lips in an aggrieved manner and announced, “Daddy, there’s no way I’ll be pinching her!”

Chuckling, Clarissa remarked, “Both of you need to stop being overly cautious around her.”

The duo nodded in a goofy manner and took note of Clarissa’s instructions.

She chuckled and asked, “Speaking of which, have you thought of her name?”

Matthew had been racking his brain for the suitable name for their daughter.

It wasn’t much of a challenge to think of a name, but he just couldn’t think of a suitable one since he had high hopes for her.

“Mommy, shall we name her Coco since she’s so adorable?”

Clarissa found his son hilarious and asked in return, “Is that the only reason you’re going to name her Coco?”

“Yes! It sounds like an adorable name befitting my adorable sister!”

Matthew rebuked with his lips twitching against his will, “No!”

“If that’s the case, I’ll sort out her nickname and get you to name her, Matthew.”

“Sure, what sort of nickname have you thought of?”

“Leia.”

Her husband’s confusion was written all over his face. He asked, “Can you tell me the reason behind her nickname?”

“Well, since the name carries the definition of languid, don’t you think it’s the perfect description for our little sloth over here? Has she ever been awake for anything else apart from eating?”

Damian and Matthew exchanged glances as they were at a loss for words to rebuke Clarissa’s statements.

The father and son duo also thought it wouldn’t be wise to turn her down. Thus, they announced with a nod, “Alright, Leia it is!”

“Alright, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you soon.”

Shermaine had her fair share of doubts and asked Gary, “Are you sure you have successfully carried out the plan and swapped the little girl?”

“Can you have a little faith in your brother? Has anyone mentioned anything about the authenticity of the DNA test? Just take it easy!”

“Have you gotten rid of the baby girl?”

“Have I not told you to take it easy? I have long disposed of her!”

Once Gary assured her he had everything sorted out, Shermaine responded with a vicious grin.

A few seconds later, she glared at the man and asked, “Where have you disposed of her? I need to know her precise location! I can’t risk others rushing to her rescue!”

“My sister is such a vicious woman! However, you don’t have to worry since I have asked them to throw her in the woods on the outskirts! I don’t think others will show up in the woods for no reason! She’ll be long dead by the time someone shows up! Why don’t you go ahead and give it a try? I’m pretty sure you’re going to end up seeing a little girl’s corpse!”

Shermaine gave it a thought and burst out laughing once again.

“It’s not worth my time! I’m just glad there’s nothing they can do to turn the tables around even if they’re aware their so-called daughter isn’t their daughter! Hahaha!”

Gary started shivering in fear as the woman next to her laughed at the top of her lungs, gloating over others’ misfortune.

I guess it’s not an exaggeration when others claim women tend to be the most vicious beings on earth! This woman next to me has just brought upon an old woman’s demise in front of me a few days ago! Instead of showing any signs of remorse, she burst out laughing in content!

The man wasn’t aware Shermaine’s plan was far more complicated than it might have seen. It turned out she had taken everyone’s response into consideration.

She was certain Clarissa would rush her way to Catherine’s side and had everything sorted out with those affiliated with the hospital. In other words, they had been dancing to her tune ever since the beginning of Catherine’s demise.

Gary was aware Shermaine was thrown behind bars after the failed attempt to take Clarissa out three years ago. It turned out she had gotten better with plotting against others after being set free.

She would no longer make any rash decisions without proper contingency plans in store for unforeseen circumstances.

On top of that, she had gotten better with her acts and managed to deceive everyone apart from Gary.

He got increasingly aroused the more he thought about the woman next to her. His urge to get his hands on her got stronger than ever.

Thus, he got on top of her and started another raunchy session without asking for her consent.

To his surprise, Shermaine played along with him instead of reprimanding him. Thrilled, she had a great time after putting on an act for such a long time.

The pleasure had transcended beyond physical sensation, especially when she recalled Clarissa wasn’t aware her so-called daughter wasn’t her daughter. She just couldn’t wait to share the truth with them and turn the life of the happy family upside down.
