You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 212

Meanwhile, Clarissa figured that Shermaine must have gone into hiding and wouldn’t be able to hatch any plots at the moment.

In truth, Clarissa felt they had not done enough as Shermaine’s punishment did not commensurate with how much harm she had done to others. She thought of Mandy’s attack while Xander was still lying in hospital. As long as she could get her hands on some evidence, she would definitely want to put Shermaine in prison.

However, she had nothing incriminating now but it was just a matter of time before she found any.

As she was in a good mood recently, Clarissa decided to have an island wedding. The tropical weather there meant that it would always feel like spring. Hence, with great scenery and weather, she needn’t have to worry about feeling cold in her wedding gown.

However, when she suggested it to Matthew, he threw a contract in front of her.

Having read through it, Clarissa gaped in shock.

“You… bought an island for… me?”

Matthew raised his brow in a charming manner and smiled. Inexplicably, he had the same expression Jeremy used when he flirted.

Clarissa’s surprise quickly turned into laughter. She remarked, “Why are you giving me that look? Did Jeremy teach you that?”

Matthew snorted softly with letting out a half-smile.

“Do I even need to be taught by him?”

In truth, it was Jeremy’s idea for Matthew to buy an island for Clarissa as a present.

Lifting her chin, Matthew asked, “Do you like it?”

Clarissa nodded slightly before nodding again with greater conviction.

I can’t believe it!

It’s such a romantic gesture.

To become an owner of an island was something out of a fantasy.

However, she quickly regained her senses and shook her head. Having thought of something, her expression became conflicted.

“Don’t you like it?”

“No, it’s just too expensive. This…”

Matthew smiled in adoration. “Clare, all that matters is that you like it. So, don’t think about anything else. Besides, I bought this island a long time ago and have no use for it. Now that I can give it to you as a present and make you happy, that alone makes it all worthwhile. What you need to do now is to accept it happily and give me a kiss to express your gratitude.”

Given the look in his eyes, Clarissa simply couldn’t refuse.

As their gazes locked, she suddenly snorted in laughter. Putting her hands around Matthew’s neck and leaning in, she kissed him on the lips.

“Hmm, dearest Uncle Matthew, I really love the present you have given me.”

Matthew smiled as he tousled her hair. After that, he took out another picture which showed the villa on the island and its facilities.

“When I first bought the island, I ordered a house to be built and the surrounding landscape to be planted with trees and flowers. There’s also a basketball court…”

When Clarissa looked at the pictures, she felt as if she was looking at paradise itself.

Laughing sheepishly, she remarked, “It feels like I’m the queen of the island.”

Matthew leaned in, brushed her ear with his lips, and whispered, “My queen, our island, I wonder…”

The moment Clarissa heard his words, she instantly knew his mind was filled with dirty thoughts.

She quickly interrupted him with a playful peck.

“You pervert…”

Instead of feeling embarrassed, Matthew was actually proud of himself. Hugging Clarissa, he continued his “perverted” advances.

Nevertheless, they quickly got their wedding date nailed down.

Since it was going to be an island wedding, they appointed a wedding planner to make the arrangements. The earliest date they gave was spring next year.

Clarissa figured that a backdrop of blooming spring flowers would be a beautiful sight.

Any earlier date would be too much of a rush.

Hence, they decided for it to be spring.

Until then, Clarissa could continue to “hibernate” through the uneventful winter.

…

Recently, Hilary paid close attention to Shermaine’s controversy. Watching how Shermaine was attacked broke her heart, to the extent that she could hardly sleep and eat. She would look gloomy all day worried about Shermaine.

Even Zach noticed her strange reaction. When he checked with her out of concern, she refused to talk about it.

Later on, he found out that she was feeling unsettled because of Shermaine’s case. Feeling amused, he assumed that she was just worried for her idol and didn’t think too much of it.

However, Hilary’s concern didn’t just remain a concern.

Racking her brains, she finally thought of Clarissa and gave her a call.
