You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 148

Clarissa’s smile sent a cold chill down Mavis’ spine. Trying to hide, she quickly lowered her head in trepidation. She was worried that Clarissa might ruin her moments with Matthew.

Obviously, Clarissa’s smile made Mavis feel uncomfortable as if it was an illusion of danger.

Clarissa took her time to sit down and eat whereas Ellie found Mavis’ actions very strange.

“What’s up? Do you know that woman?”

Clarissa feigned a smile. “Yes, I met her once.” Then, she told Ellie the incident where she met Mavis.

After hearing the story, Ellie burst out into laughter. Things are getting interesting!

“Haha… No wonder she looks like she’s afraid of you. She’s probably worried that you’re going to be a nuisance to her. Haha… That’s so funny. I’m sure she’s having ants in her pants now. Are you planning to do something?”

Although Clarissa had faith in Matthew’s loyalty, she could not guarantee Mavis could contain her feelings for him. As a woman, she was disturbed by the thought and felt annoyed with it.

“No, it’s not easy for a good looking guy and a pretty woman to have some time alone. It’s not nice for me to interrupt, is it?”

“Tsk… I sense jealousy.” Giggling, Ellie found it amusing to tease Clarissa.

Ellie was intrigued. We’ve been friends for many years and I’ve always imagined how she’ll be like when she falls in love. This is really fun, especially when she’s in love with Uncle Matt, one who always looks cool and unapproachable. I wonder what Uncle Matt is like when he pursues a woman.

As Ellie sank further in her imagination, she had goosebumps. Oh my, I can’t imagine this!

When the girls had finished eating, the other table was still in the middle of their dinner.

Staying silent, Ellie was observing Clarissa. She looks like she’s brewing something, I shall wait for some drama to unfold itself.

Clarissa powdered her nose, smiled sweetly, and rose to her feet. Ellie raised her brow and hurriedly followed suit.

As Mavis noticed that Clarissa was approaching them, her body stiffened and her face turned gloomy.

On the contrary, Matthew continued eating indifferently. He had his back on Clarissa, so he did not see her coming.

Coquettishly, Clarissa smiled as she stood by their table. There was a twinkle in her eye as well as a tinge of rebellious provocation.

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat as he realized her intention.

“What a coincidence, Uncle Matthew and Ms. Lynch! We meet again,” Clarissa greeted them in the loveliest and most pleasant voice ever, which sent tingles down Matthew’s body.

Pfft… Standing behind her, Ellie felt so tormenting to suppress her emotions and hold back her laughter.

Controlling herself, she said “Hi Uncle Matt, Ms. Lynch.”

Mavis was embarrassed. What sort of reaction is this from these two young ladies?

Matthew finally let out his first smile the entire night. It was a casual yet sexy and captivating smile, that Mavis almost jumped on him.

“Ellie, Clare…” he rolled his tongue and emphasized the R sound when he pronounced Clarissa’s name.

Ignoring his little action and alluring smile, Clarissa said, “Excuse me, Uncle Matthew and Ms. Lynch, since we meet by chance, shall we leave together? Ellie and I took a cab here. If you don’t mind, could we hitch a ride with you?”

Mavis bit her lips. This nasty girl does it on purpose! If the last meet-up was a coincidence, then it’s surely planned this time.

She threw a sharp gaze at Clarissa. Have I ever offended her?

“Sorry, I’m afraid it’s not convenient today. Your uncle and I still have some private matters to discuss,” Mavis rejected her request.

Clarissa went along with it. She smiled and responded, “That’s fine, we’re not in a hurry, right, Ellie? We can wait for you both to settle your private affairs before going home. Please take your time.”

“Oh… um… Yes, go ahead with your plan. We’ll just wait over here. We promise not to disturb,” Ellie chimed in. Let’s see if Uncle Matt will do anything with Mavis.

Ellie stared at the trio with her big round eyes. Haha, I can’t miss any moment of this melodrama!

Mavis could tell that the girl did it on purpose. It led her to believe it was also a deliberate act the last time.

But why? Was she instigated by Ellie? Perhaps Ellie doesn’t like me being with her uncle? That’s not entirely impossible. Mavis was puzzled.

Ignoring Clarissa, Mavis turned to Ellie who was standing behind her.

“Ellie, your Uncle Matt and I were classmates. Do you remember when I went to your house when you were little? You always wanted me to play with you.”

“Haha… No, I don’t remember. Anyhow, what happens between you and Uncle Matt has nothing to do with me. I’ll mind my own business.”

An ambiguous smile settled upon Ellie’s face. Suddenly, her phone rang and she left to answer it, leaving the three at the table.

Seeing how comfortable Mavis looked, Clarissa raised a light smirk. “Ms. Lynch, do you mind if I sit here? Since you guys are still eating, I’ll sit down and wait patiently for you.”

Mavis furrowed her brows. “I do mind. Anyway, we’re done. Let’s go, Matthew.”
