You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 342

Yarick thought he had said something smart, so he laughed heartily after he finished.

In response, Clarissa simply kept quiet.

Sitting beside her, Damian suddenly clapped his little hands excitedly, “Mommy, I want to drive, too…”

The group burst out laughing when they heard this.

How Clarissa wished she could get rid of the snickering bunch. Facing her innocent son, she forced herself to smile. “Damian, you’re still young and you won’t be able to get a driver’s license until you’re eighteen years old. Didn’t I tell you? You have to wait until you’re a grown-up before you can really drive.”

She was rather embarrassed by these people and thinking the word “driving” made her feel really awkward.

Nonetheless, Clarissa acted normally. She replied accordingly to Damian’s understanding lest the boy gets his view warped by the raunchy group.

Damian was not appeased. “But when will I grow up?”

“Very soon. If you sleep well and eat properly, you will grow up quickly, alright?”

“Alright…”

Clarissa wiped away the imaginary sweat from her brow and as she looked up, she found herself looking directly into Matthew’s dark, thoughtful eyes.

She frowned, feeling puzzled.

Matthew whispered, “After we touch down, you can drive whichever way you wish, I’ll definitely play along.”

A few snickers and snorts sounded out at that.

Evidently, in this huge cabin with so few of them, Matthew’s soft whisper was not soft enough because the rowdy bunch behind had heard him.

They laughed aloud without any modesty as if urging the couple on.

Clarissa rolled her eyes at Matthew, feeling shame and resentment as she blushed and gritted her teeth to admonish him.

“You want to kneel on the washboard again, don’t you?”

Matthew smiled innocently before turning his eyes back on the computer. He continued working as if he had not said anything at all.

Clarissa was so embarrassed that she was fidgeting in her seat as they laughed at her openly.

In the end, she decided to go to the bathroom to get away from it for a while.

Somebody said something and she heard everybody laugh again.

She waited for a while in the bathroom to calm herself down before coming out to find everyone looking at her as if she was some noble heroine.

What came next was everyone giving her the thumbs up. With the corners of her lips twitching, Clarissa looked at Matthew in puzzlement only to see the man himself was looking rather glum.

What on earth happened?

After getting off the plane, Clarissa learned from Yaala that they had heard something about a washboard remark and how Damian had innocently told them that there was a new washboard at home.

Obviously, everyone knew that washboards were no longer used to wash clothes.

Instead, these days, washboards were used for men to kneel on as punishment. As such, it was quite obvious that Matthew had been punished.

This was precisely the reason why they gave Clarissa the thumbs up earlier to express their “respect” for her.

“Haha… Clarissa, you’re awesome. I’ve decided that you’re my idol from now onwards.”

Clarissa gave a dry chuckle before turning around to look at Matthew, whose expression had darkened even further.

This is bad… He just lost his pride and dignity. Will he strangle me when we get home?

Yaala probably saw through Clarissa’s worry, for she quickly gave her a thumbs up, saying, “Clarissa, fear not! If Mr. Tyson dares to do anything, just make him kneel on the washboard till it breaks.”

Clarissa was rendered speechless.

She doubt she would have the guts to do so. Besides, she loved the man too much to do that.

When the group arrived at the hotel, Matthew passed his son to Ellie before scooping Clarissa into his arms and going into his room amidst the laughter and cheering of their friends.

No matter how Clarissa struggled or begged for mercy, no one came to her rescue. In the end, after the plane ride, she had to go for another ride…

She went for a few rides.

On their first day in Jeradus, Clarissa’s activities were all done in bed.

She never even got to use the hot springs that were built into each room.

The following days, Clarissa got her wish of soaking herself in the hot springs after missing out the first day. However, her experience at the hot springs was one that would sear into her mind for the rest of her life, causing her knees to go weak whenever she saw places that had some relation to hot springs such as bathtubs and pools.

“I will never soak in a hot spring ever again!”

“Yes, you will.”

Clarissa was laying by the side of the pool as she complained weakly but Matthew paid her no mind, dragging her into his arms and refused to let her leave the pool.

“Let’s make a visit to the hot springs more often in the future.”

“Hah! I refuse. Over my dead body.”

Matthew chuckled. “Hmm… but I did go over your body and multiple times at that…”
