You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 142

After getting lost and drenched in the rain, Clarissa ended up catching a cold.

Her holiday was rather colorful.

Clarissa lay on the bed with a splitting headache as Matthew patiently took care of her.

After taking her meds, she fell asleep. Occasionally, she’d wake up and drink some water before going back to sleep again.

Matthew felt his heart breaking at the sight of how weak she was. He decided to force her to work out after she recovered from the cold.

She’s too weak.

Two days later, Clarissa finally felt much better.

She had to take a flight back to W City this afternoon. This time, Matthew was to join her because she was still weak from the cold.

Clarissa was terribly nervous.

She leaned on the bedpost and watched as Matthew packed up.

Her brows were furrowed up as she twiddled her fingers nervously. Matthew had noticed her action, but he said nothing.

It was obvious what she was concerned about.

In the end, Clarissa couldn’t stand it anymore. She hopped off the bed and started cajoling him. “Why don’t you stay back? I’m not mentally prepared yet. Besides, I haven’t told my grandma about you.”

Matthew snickered and pried her hand off his shirt before he gave the phone to her.

“Tell your grandma now.”

“Well, won’t you celebrate the holidays with your family? You shouldn’t be a gatecrasher.”

Clarissa hurriedly changed the topic.

Nevertheless, the sneer on Matthew’s face remained as he glared at the young lady, causing her to shift guiltily.

He stared at her for a long time without a word.

Finally, Clarissa caved in and grumbled, “Fine, you can go.”

She unlocked her phone and gave Catherine a call.

Catherine was busy preparing snacks with Jenny, her caretaker. When she saw a male figure behind her granddaughter’s, her heart clenched anxiously. It was evident who that man was.

Giving a warm smile, she asked, “Clare, when will you be back?”

“Grandma, my flight is at noon. I’ll be back around 3 p.m.”

“Okay. I’m preparing some snacks. When you’re back, you can prepare dinner.”

“Sure!”

Both sides fell silent. Catherine wasn’t in a hurry, anyway.

Clarissa forced out a smile as a blush crept up her cheeks.

“Grandma,” she mumbled shyly. “I’ve invited someone to our house.”

“That sounds great!”

Huh, that went better than I thought.

Clarissa was at a loss for words, while Catherine added, “Is it your boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, got it.”

Clarissa peeked at Matthew and made sure he was satisfied before hanging up.

After flinging her phone away, she returned to the bed and lazed away. Matthew lay beside her and flipped her around so she’d face him.

Clarissa glared at him. After all, she had said it out loud.

She reached out and poked his shoulder.

“Why didn’t you greet Grandma earlier? Actually, you can see her through the video call. You don’t have to follow me back. Are you that confident my grandma won’t kick you out?”

Matthew squeezed her finger and chuckled. “I want our first meeting to be a formal one. Shouldn’t I be confident of myself?”

Clarissa tutted. “Why are you so confident?”

“Because my darling Clare loves me. I’m sure her grandma will love me, too.”

Clarissa blushed in embarrassment. He’s right.

Seeing her reaction, Matthew gave her a peck on her lips.

That very afternoon, Clarissa and Matthew arrived at their destination. They alighted the car and brought the gifts along.

Clarissa was excited to be home.

She scurried into the building. Turning back, she realized Matthew was rooted to the spot with a stern expression.

Is he regretting his decision to come here?

A while later, she saw Matthew taking a deep breath.

Clarissa immediately burst out laughing.

Matthew ignored her and strode up the stairs.

Clarissa trailed behind him while chuckling in delight.

“Matthew, are you nervous?”

He didn’t reply.

“Matthew, you don’t have to be nervous. My grandma’s very nice. She’s only worried because you’re ten years older than me. Of course, you don’t look that old. I don’t know if she still minds our age gap.”
