You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 14

Clarissa fidgeted in her seat and shifted away from him. She reached up to scratch her ears in an attempt to hide the fact that she was blushing. It was an adorable sight.

Matthew repeated, “Clare?”

“Yep,” came Clarissa’s reply.

She thought he’d stop after calling her nickname, but his body was still leaning sideways. “Are you hot? Why are your cheeks red?”

“Umm, a little. But I’m fine.”

Clarissa was afraid he’d dig out her embarrassing secret, so she changed the topic instantly. “Uncle Matthew, where are we going?”

Matthew glanced at her pinkish cheeks and ears before straightening his back.

“My friend’s new manor in the countryside.”

The moment Matthew pulled away, Clarissa relaxed visibly. Finally, she could breathe more easily.

Upon arriving at their destination, the car rolled to a stop. Both of them got off the car. A man wearing a white shirt unbuttoned to his chest and white slacks came to greet them. His slippers were slapping on the ground noisily as he came to them. He must think he’s sexy in this outfit, Clarissa decided.

His eyes lit up when he spotted Clarissa.

“Oh, my! Matt, isn’t this—Oh, I get it. Hello, you must be Matt’s girlfriend. I’m Jeremy Smallwood, Matt’s friend.”

Clarissa waved her hands awkwardly and explained, “You’ve gotten it wrong. I’m not his girlfriend. I’m Ellie’s friend. Uncle Matthew, Ellie’s there. I’ll go to her now.”

With that, she scurried away.

Jeremy glanced at her retreating figure before turning to Matthew with a cheeky grin playing on his lips.

“Uncle Matt? Is this your new fetish?”

Matthew ignored him and entered the manor. When Jeremy caught up to him, he noticed Matthew’s gaze landing on the young lady.

Tsk, this is interesting.

Clarissa knew they were here to cool down from the summer heat, but she was surprised to find a swimming pool here.

In the evening, when it wasn’t scorching hot, Ellie forced Clarissa to change into a swimsuit.

“Oh, Clare!”

When Ellie saw Clarissa coming out of the bathroom in a bikini, she covered her mouth in exaggerated shock. After running her hands all over Clarissa’s body, she dragged the latter out of the room. Even though Clarissa couldn’t swim, Ellie insisted on bringing her to the pool.
