You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 168

After hanging up, Clarissa stood up and decided to return to W City.

Instead of stopping her, Matthew followed her and comforted her along the journey.

Two hours later, they arrived at the house in W City.

Pushing the door open, Clarissa rushed into the house to see Catherine and Jenny seated on the sofa.

“Grandma, are you alright? Did they hurt you?”

Catherine was stunned to see them. When she saw Matthew stepping in, she chided, “I’m fine. Why are you all here?”

The caregiver replied, “I was the one who informed Clary.”

“Clare is concerned about you. It has been some time since my last visit, so I tagged along with her.”

Catherine sighed. Matthew found out about our dirty laundry.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’m her mother, so they won’t hurt me.”

Catherine consoled Clarissa and patted her hand. After a while, she sighed guiltily.

“Clare, Mimi stole all your stuff. I didn’t know they’d resort to such despicable means. I didn’t know the things were expensive. Jenny told me your bags and accessories are worth thousands each. When I tried to reason with them, they denied taking it. Clare, I’m sorry. I was—”

Clarissa interrupted her apology. “Grandma, these can be bought with money. I don’t mind as long as you’re safe.”

“But they cost a lot of money. I feel bad.”

Wrapping her arms around Catherine, Clarissa wiped off her tears and comforted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll get them back.”

“But what if they refused to admit it?”“

“It’s fine. I have a plan.”

As Catherine had always trusted her granddaughter, she was relieved.

She gazed at Matthew, feeling embarrassed.

“You should’ve come back alone. Why did you drag Matthew alone? He has to go to work tomorrow!”

Catherine apologized immediately. “Matthew, sorry for making you come all the way here.”

“It’s fine. Clare’s business is my business. I can’t remain in D City alone when you’re in trouble, can I?”

“Sorry for all the trouble.”

“Stop apologizing, Grandma. Go to bed. We shall talk tomorrow.”

After persuading Catherine to go to bed, Clarissa heaved a sigh of relief.

Matthew stretched his arms out and pulled her into his embrace. He pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Gently, he said, “Your grandma is fine. Don’t worry. As long as she’s fine, nothing else matters.”

“Mm, that I know. But I’m upset at how they treated Grandma. I shall demand an explanation tomorrow.”

“Okay. I’ll come along with you.”

Clarissa shook her head and looked up, her lips pursed into a pout.

“I don’t want you to come with me.”

“Why not? I can be of help.”

Clarissa shook her head stubbornly. “I’m going to fight. It might damage my reputation, so I don’t want you to see it.”

Matthew chuckled and arched a brow. “Oh? Will it be ugly?”

“Yes. I’m afraid I’ll no longer be your Miss Fairy after you see how ruthless I can be. You don’t have to come. I can handle it myself. Of course, if things spiral out of my control, I’ll ask for your help. But I don’t think that will happen.”

Matthew’s mood elevated as he let out a chuckle. “Miss Fairy? You’re quite confident in yourself, huh? But Clare, I don’t see you as a fairy.”

Clarissa promptly glared at him and raised her voice. “What did you say?”

Unfazed, Matthew repeated, “I said, I don’t see you as a fairy.”

Clarissa’s lips thinned as she gritted her teeth unhappily.

She glowered at Matthew, silently threatening him to change his mind or he shall die a horrible death.

Matthew stood firm to his opinion and added, “You’re not a fairy to me. That’s because you’re a vixen, Clare.”

Clarissa was rendered speechless.

You’re such a seductive vixen! Suddenly, this sentence popped up in her mind.

She smacked her lips at once.

“I’m not a vixen. I’m a fairy!” she insisted. “Matthew, you’re wrong.”

“Uh-huh. Really?”

“Yes!”

As Clarissa was adamant, Matthew grinned and acknowledged silently.
