You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 145

The next morning, when Clarissa woke up, Matthew and Catherine had just arrived home.

She walked out of the room in a daze to the sight of Matthew with bags of groceries hanging on both his arms. It was a funny scene.

“Lazy girl, you’re finally awake. Matthew woke up early in the morning. He even took a jog before accompanying me to the morning market. Look at you now.”

As Catherine nagged on, Clarissa stuck her tongue out playfully and headed to the bathroom.

When she finally exited the bathroom, her gaze was clear. She skipped out happily.

Matthew laid out the breakfast they bought earlier. The three of them sat down to enjoy the spread.

Catherine was obviously in a jolly mood.

After breakfast, Clarissa asked, “What happened to Grandma? She can’t seem to stop beaming.”

Matthew caressed her smooth cheek adoringly.

He satisfied himself with a kiss and nibbled on her earlobe before replying lazily, “She feels proud.”

“Proud of what?”

“She introduced me to her neighbors and friends at the morning market.”

Clarissa’s lips twitched wordlessly. Oh, so that was what happened.

I should’ve known. Those who go to the morning market are elderly people from our neighborhood or nearby. Grandma knows most of them. As Matthew tagged along, she must’ve boasted about him proudly.

Looking up, Clarissa studied the man’s attractive features and let out a laugh.

“Grandma must be proud to have such a handsome grandson-in-law.”

She stood on tiptoes and gave him a loud smack. “Good job. This is your reward.”

“Darling, this is too simple a reward. I want more than that.”

With that, he captured her mouth in a long and passionate kiss.

That morning, Clarissa brought Matthew around W City. Instead of visiting the tourist spots, they visited the places familiar to her—her alma mater, favorite park, the favorite cafe where she used to type her heart out, and some local eateries.

At this moment, Matthew was no longer the stern president of Tyson Corporation. He accompanied his girlfriend for the whole day like a normal boyfriend would do.

Even though he kept a low profile, heads kept turning in his direction. Besides, Clarissa was also a gorgeous beauty. A striking couple like them attracted plenty of attraction.

The tall man was cool, but he spoiled his pretty girlfriend to bits. Delighted by his antics, the young woman let out a tinkling laugh.

“Oh, my. What a hunk! He’s indifferent to others, but he’ll always put on a smile whenever he looks at his girlfriend.”

“Yes, yes. Aww, he’s so striking. Could he be a rich man?”

A few young ladies gathered and tittered at the sight of Matthew and Clarissa, who were currently standing in front of a food stall. They weren’t the only ones, as plenty of passers-by were staring at the couple.

“Rich man? Rich people wouldn’t buy food at roadside stalls. Don’t be silly.”

Mimi glanced in the direction of the couple and scoffed in disdain.

“Mimi, perhaps his girlfriend likes to eat at roadside stalls. He’s being attentive. Besides, look at the girl. She’s holding an expensive bag, and her bracelet costs a few thousand. I can’t make out the brand of the man’s outfit, but he’s obviously not an ordinary man. Just now, his watch peeked out from underneath his sleeves. It’s obviously a Calatrava!”

“Seriously? Are you sure? I know who they are.”

Mimi sneered. “The woman is rich enough to afford the bag and bracelet. But they might be fakes. That man is her kept man. He’s pretty poor.”

“Really? You know who they are?” her friend inquired.

“Yes, that’s my cousin. She told me that her boyfriend’s a poor fellow. I can’t believe she’s foolish enough to spend her money on him,” scoffed Mimi.

She’s rich, but refused to lend money to us. Look, she can afford to buy expensive bags and jewelry. Jealousy shone in Mimi’s gaze.

A flash of disdain appeared in the eyes of the girl who recognized the brands on Matthew and Clarissa.

Why would they tell you the truth? She thought silently.

“Let’s go. What they wear is none of your business.”

Feeling upset, Mimi glared at the couple as jealousy overwhelmed her entire being. Suddenly, the man looked up and met her gaze.

A chill immediately crept up Mimi’s spine, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Matthew looked away without a word. It was over in a few seconds, but Mimi was already sweating profusely under the man’s icy gaze.

“Hey, Mimi. What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”
