You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 282


    With the arrival of his son, Matthew resented that he was not able to spend much time having fun with


    him.


    However, he also had a job. He couldn’t just drop everything without a care and just stay at home.


    If not for rissa’s vehement refusal, Matthew would have really brought Damian to work with him.


    That day, Matthew had been dawdling. He had already eaten breakfast but was still reluctant to leave


    for work.


    Matthew was waiting for Damian to wake up. He greeted the boy, hugged him, and yed with him for


    a while before leaving.


    This was also why rissa was urging him to leave.


    “Goodness, do you know how long Donnie has been waiting for you? You said it would only take a


    while, but it’s been half an hour!”


    As rissa was nagging at him from the sidelines, Matthew was still feeding Damian. His


    meticulousness made rissa a little jealous.


    “Matthew, didn’t you hear what I said? Why aren’t you leaving?”


    rissa tutted, seemingly irritated.


    Matthew raised an eyebrow and nced at her. He put down the cutlery, patted his son’s head, and


    walked over to rissa. Matthew snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her close into his


    embrace.


    He angled his head and brushed his lips over her mouth, but rissa tried to push him away. She


    struggled a little before Matthew finally let her go.


    He furrowed his brows, but rissa prodded his chest hard, motioning him to look the other way.


    The pair turned around to look at Damian, who was staring at them with his mouth smeared full of


    ketchup. The kiss had caught his eye. His eyes bore a strong resemnce to that of rissa’s, which


    exuded an innocent air. He looked at them curiously, but there was also a hint of shame.


    Matthew was the first to recover from his surprise.


    Indifferently, he ced his arms around rissa before turning to look at his son. “Damian, your


    parents have a good rtionship. Daddy loves Mommy, and Mommy loves Daddy too!”


    Damian struggled to climb off his chair, then ran over to them.


    Matthew reached down to pick him up since Damian ran straight towards them.


    Both their faces were stained with ketchup, and rissa couldn’t help but burst intoughter. She


    looked at Matthew enquiringly, but he did not seem to mind.


    Damian’s voice sounded cheerful when he responded. “Damian loves Mommy and Daddy too!”


    “Alright, I know you love us. But let’s go back to the table, darling. Daddy has to go to work. You must


    let daddy earn money so he can buy you more gifts, okay?”


    Damian was set down again. After hearing his mother’s words, he then waved at Matthew.


    “Daddy, you can go to work now. Make money and buy gifts for me!”


    Matthew grinned and shook his head with a smirk. Reluctantly, he left.


    After Matthew left, rissa pouted and muttered, “I have never seen you this reluctant before.”


    “Mommy?”


    Damian did not catch what his mother said.


    rissa picked up some tissue and wiped his mouth clean. “I said that Daddy really loves you. Do you


    love Daddy too?”


    Damian nodded enthusiastically.


    “What was that? You love Daddy more than me?”


    Damien pondered over this for a moment, as if he were carefully weighing out the gravity of his answer.

    His hesitance made rissa a little unhappy.


    She yfully pinched her son’s ear and giggled. “Well, you’re so mean! Didn’t you say that you love me


    the most?”


    “Mommy, I love you the most! I love you so so so so so much! More than my toys!”


    Damian’s assertion seemed to satisfy rissa.


    Mostly because she knew that he loved his toys so much.


    rissa smiled and kissed the top of his head. “Alright, eat up.”


    Damian smiled very tteringly before busying himself with his food.


    rissa did not bring her son along with her but instead left him in Zen Hignds. He could then


    explore the grounds on his own for a while.


    Although Damian was a bit sad and started crying at rissa’s departure, he was easily coaxed with


    choctes and a new toy. He then waved at rissa.”


    “You can go off to work, Mommy. I’ll be a good boy and wait for you toe home.”


    Seeing how her son reacted, rissa was worried that someone could easily kidnap him by luring him


    with toys and food.


    It took a while before rissa arrived at the studio. When she reached, she brought Mandy along and


    went through her usual day’s work at the mediapany. Plenty of discussions were had on the script


    and its scenes. At the end of the meeting, she was asked to decide on the cast.


    “In terms of the cast, I trust in the decisions you have made. You’ve always selected some decent


    actors. As long as you think they are the right fit, feel free. I don’t have an opinion on this.”


    “Well, Mr. Yates and I think that since you’re the creator of the story, there would be some differences in


    how you’d want to approach it. I think your opinion will add weight and a few surprises to the


    production.”


    rissa may have been the creator, but she truly did not have much of an opinion. It had to do with


    how busy she was taking care of her son ofte.


    rissa seemed somewhat embarrassed, but Conrad stepped in. “Of course. But if you have the time,


    I think you should also just take a look. If you’re too busy, it’s fine too. We’ll not force you. Some of the


    actors could use a few pointers, though.”


    “Alright, thank you, Conrad, Mr. Yates. I’ll take my leave.”


    “Ah, it’s no rush! Since we’re done with work, we should also have a meal together. There are two


    actors we have in mind. If all goes well, we’re casting them as the lead actors. Why don’t you tag along


    and get to know them a little? They already know of someone as famous as you are, but they’ve not


    had the opportunity to meet you yet. This would be a perfect chance for them. Besides, you’d have to


    meet them eventually, so it would be ideal if you were friendly to each other.”


    rissa also knew that this was necessary.


    Getting to know the cast first was ideal. It would be better than the whole fiasco involving Shermaine in


    the first drama, who ruined the show before it was released, after all.


    rissa nodded in agreement. “Very well. I’m going to make a call first and notify the family.”


    Conrad smiled and asked, “Aren’t you from W City, Ms. Quigley? Is your family not there?”


    “Yes, my family lives there, but I brought my son here. I’m still a little anxious.”


    “Your son?”


    Maddox and the other producers were shocked. They did not know what to say.


    rissa had no choice but to exin herself. “Yes, my son. Sorry, but I really need to make this call.”


    Conrad and Maddox looked at each other, visibly surprised by the news they just heard. They also


    seemed to have other thoughts on the matter.


    Rumors were circting about rissa. Although, scandals would have been a more apt term when


    describing the nature of the gossip. They were curious about whether or not she was involved with


    Robert Johnson.


    As such, they never expected rissa had a child of her own.


    Were the rumors fake after all?


    The pair seemed to be thinking the same thing and exchanged a nce. Although they knew about


    secrets that other people were unaware of, it was not useful information to them.


    After all, they were not the type of people to sell secrets and gossip. They were all friends here, and


    this had nothing to do with them whatsoever.


    Soon after, rissa turned around and beamed at them both.


    “Alright, we can go. However, I might have to be back early, or my kid will be upset.”


    “Got it. It’s just a meal, and there’s nothing else nned.”


    After the bunch of them left thepany, they were surprised at how cold it was. Snowkes drifted


    about the air amidst a backdrop of flickering neon lights.


    Being in a major city, the most difficult thing to deal with was the heavy traffic.


    rissa looked out of the car window, observing the falling snow. Her thoughts drifted to how unhappy


    Damian sounded earlier, knowing that neither choctes nor toys would be able to pacify him


    anymore.


    Just then, rissa felt a pang of guilt.


    When I leave for work, does he feel sad? He does cry so piteously whenever I go and is reluctant to let


    me leave. I always have to make up excuses or leave in secret so that he doesn’t notice.


    Come to think of it, doesn’t his heart break every time I leave?


    The heart of a child desired nothing more than his parents. Neglecting a child was just irresponsible


    parenting at best.


    Fortunately, Matthew would be going home first to keep their sonpany.


    When she arrived at the restaurant, rissa entered a private lounge. The three of them first sat down


    and chatted amongst themselves. A whileter, two groups of people walked in.


    rissa nced over and was introduced to the two A-list celebrities. One was Leonard, a mature and


    attractive actor who became popr because of a period drama. The other was another popr


    actress named Skyler.


    rissa knew of them but had yet to be properly acquainted. Having met them now, she found that


    they were quite friendly.


    They both had a clean rap sheet, were not involved in any scandals, and seemed to be serious about


    their craft. rissa reckoned that she would get along with them just fine.


    As the conversation went on, rissa thought that they seemed like decent individuals.


    Leonard spoke very little, being a married man with children of his own. He looked and seemed like a


    sensible person. Skyler was also a little shy initially due to how they were strangers. After a while,


    however, she even managed to engage in a hefty conversation which rissa dly participated in. It


    could have been the fact that they were both women and thus had more inmon to discuss.


    However, Skyler was still much younger, and there was a generational gap in how they both


    communicated. Still, she found Skyler interesting.


    Halfway through the meal, rissa’s phone rang.


    rissa hurriedly answered the call as she walked outside. Before Matthew could get a word in,


    Damian started speaking.


    “Mommy! Daddy and I are here to take you home. I miss you!”


    Given how loud his voice was, everyone in the lounge could not help but look at her.
