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. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
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.”
“Okay.” Damian pouted, but after a while of silence, the boy blurted, “But you’re also a man, Daddy. Yet, you can’t leave Mommy either.”
Matthew’s face fell.
You little brat…
Damian continued innocently, “I heard what you said to Mommy last night. You said you can’t leave her, and you want to take her with you.”
Why you little…
Matthew was still quiet and stoic, so nobody could see what he was thinking. However, the producing director—who was in the front seat—was holding her laughter in, but only barely.
Noticing his father’s displeasure, Damian stopped talking to him. Instead, he started talking to the producing director.
Damian was a precocious boy, so flirting with girls was child’s play for him. He kept praising the producing director to high heavens, much to her delight.
It was a fun trip, and the producing director thought Damian would be the most popular kid of the season.
They eventually came to the airport and boarded the flight to their next destination.
At Damian’s request, he and Matthew took part in a variety show. If it weren’t for Damian’s insistence, Matthew and Clarissa wouldn’t have allowed him to take part in the show.
After he saw the show where other dads took their kids on a vacation, he kept telling his parents he wanted to go. When they refused, he even said he was taking part so he could make some money for Clarissa and Leia.
All their friends knew about Damian’s wish, so Ellie and the other ladies convinced Clarissa to let him go. Once Clarissa said yes, it would be easy to get Matthew’s agreement.
After much pestering, Clarissa finally gave in to her son’s request.
The moment the production team confirmed Matthew and Damian’s participation, they released the news in no time.
It proved to be a great move, for Matthew’s appearance hyped the show up. The director was over the moon, for he knew the show’s rating would break new records.
However, Matthew wasn’t the biggest reason the audience was looking forward to the new season—it was Damian.
Everyone knew Damian would grow up to be a man just like his father. He had never appeared in public before, but everyone who saw him said Damian was an extremely adorable boy.
Because of that, his rave reviews whipped the audience into a frenzy.
Once Matthew and Damian had disembarked, they went to the island first, meeting up with the other 4 pairs of fathers and kids and making some simple introductions. They weren’t that close yet, but they would get closer with time since they would be living together for a while.
Damian made some new friends, some younger, and some older. He preferred hanging out with the older boys since they were on a similar wavelength. Even so, he didn’t leave the younger kids behind.
“My sister’s super cute. I came here so I can make a lot of money for her. My mommy said she’s really lazy, so she can’t support herself when she grows up. In that case, I have to make sure she survives.”
Damian’s reason made the adults roar with laughter. The kids didn’t know what he was talking about, but they laughed along anyway.
“I’m also getting a lot of pretty clothes, jewelry, and heels for my mommy too.” Damian brought his mother into this as well, and it made him look like a boy who cared about his mother deeply.
……
The Tysons were watching the first episode of the show attentively the moment it aired. They were the last family to show up, apparently because they were the star of the show. When they finally showed up, Clarissa was the one who made the first appearance, while the producing director was fangirling over her.
Once Damian showed up, the funny captions wouldn’t stop showing. The moment the Tysons were introduced, the amusing and lovey-dovey elements kept showing up. With Damian making his
appearance, the audience could finally see what he looked like.
Just like that, Damian managed to get a lot of fans. All the ladies around the nation fell in love with him, and the airport was filled with his fans whenever he went to and from a shoot. Thanks to the show, Damian rose to fame.
His fans kept commenting on Clarissa, Matthew, and Tyson Corporation’s Twitter, asking them to expose Damian…
Clarissa smiled dryly as she refused another endorsement offer for her son, while Yael shrugged. “Looks like I came for nothing then.”
The request came from a friend, but Clarissa wouldn’t allow her son to appear too much on TV, even if the source material was only a photo.
“Hey, Damian wants to support Leia. You can’t just say no to such a good offer. How do you expect him to make any money if he doesn’t get any endorsements?”
“Wait, you guys thought he was for real? Damian only wanted to fool around. We couldn’t dissuade him, so we went along, but this is the only time he’s showing up on TV.”
“What a shame. Now I want a son too. If he’s as cute as Damian, I can just take things easy and survive on the money he makes.”
Clarissa’s lips twitched.
On the other hand, Damian’s table was filled with chocolates the girls gave him, much to his chagrin.
Oh, so this is what Mommy meant when she said popularity isn’t always good.
