You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 367

It was the first time Matthew was allowed to set foot in the villa Clarissa had bought Catherine. She forbade him from making his way over without her consent.

On his way into the foyer, he held Damian in his arms and carried Clarissa’s bag on her behalf.

The moment they stepped into the living room, Damian announced once he saw Catherine, “Great-grandma, this is my daddy!”

Unable to contain his excitement anymore, he started introducing his father to his great-grandmother in the living room.

Catherine responded with a gentle smile and looked at Matthew in the eyes, deadpanning her greetings, “It’s been a while.”

On the contrary, Matthew made his way over and greeted Catherine in a courteous manner, “Thank you so much for having me, Grandma.”

Catherine waved and asserted, “It’s fine as long as Damian is enjoying himself.”

Matthew was about to bring up something else, but she stopped him and instructed, “Alright, go ahead and get everything ready for lunch and dinner! I’ll keep Damian company!”

Then, she lifted Damian and announced, “Damian, let’s leave your parents alone as they need to get our meal ready. I’ll keep you company for the time being.”

Matthew couldn’t even respond to Catherine’s announcement as Clarissa had shown him the way to the kitchen.

They noticed Catherine had gotten the ingredients ready beforehand. As soon as they put on their aprons, they started preparing the ingredients.

Standing in the middle of the kitchen, Matthew was unsure of the things to do. However, he was glad he was allowed to join the family for such an important occasion.

He ended up on the receiving end in spite of the series of surprises he had in store for Clarissa.

“Clare, what am I supposed to do?”

“Can you go ahead and wash this?”

Clarissa handed Matthew the lettuce and asked him to clean it for one of the dishes.

Shortly after they started preparing their lunch, an aromatic fragrance permeated throughout the kitchen. Matthew had no choice but to bend over to stop himself from knocking into the cabinets. In spite of his awkward posture, he continued preparing the ingredients as instructed.

Clarissa, who had to get most of the dishes ready, turned around and checked on him. She was taken aback when she caught a glimpse of Matthew bending over just to get his job done.

She then lost herself in a process of thoughts while staring at the hardworking man until he turned around and looked at her in the eyes when he had the ingredients ready.

Matthew beamed in satisfaction when he caught Clarissa looking away to avoid his gaze. After he wiped his hands dry, he walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

“Clare, don’t you think I look great even when I’m in the middle of house chores?”

Clarissa rolled her eyes and asked, “Are you sure you’re not overthinking things?”

“No! Judging by your glistening pair of eyes, I’m pretty sure that’s the thing you have in mind!”

Her lips started twitching involuntarily when she heard him.

In an attempt to defend herself, Clarissa suggested, “Why don’t you show me the things you’re talking about?”

I’m pretty sure this narcissistic man has been exaggerating things again!

Matthew hesitated no more and leaned over, staring at her in the eyes with a bright grin. His pair of eyes were gleaming in elation.

“See? Actually, I have always had my eyes glued to you in a similar manner because I can’t stop myself from being head over heels in love with you!”

He inched over once he finished his sentence as he was afraid she couldn’t get a clear glimpse of his elated expression.

However, Clarissa had enough of the man’s confession. She stretched her hands and pushed him away from her. “Stop getting in my way when I’m cooking.”

After that, she got herself occupied with the dishes she had been preparing in an attempt to shrug him off.

Matthew had no intention to bother her as he beamed in satisfaction when he caught her blushing.

As he wouldn’t move his eyes away from her, she got increasingly unease. No longer could she focus on the things she had in mind. As a result, she accidentally dropped the lid she had with her.

Clang!

Clarissa stared at the lid open-mouthed while Matthew leaned over and picked it up on her behalf.

Things will never go wrong as long as I take the initiative to patch things up with her.

He caressed her flushing cheek and denoted with a smile, “I’m so sorry for the things I have put you through. Can you forgive me?”

Clarissa shot daggers at him and reprimanded him, “If you’re not going to be of much help, why don’t you get out of the kitchen and leave me alone?”

Immediately after she finished her sentence, she chased him out of the kitchen and locked the door.

Matthew could see the occupied woman through the window. He smiled and shook his head helplessly.

The moment Damian saw his father, he yelled, “Daddy, hurry up and join us! Great-grandma and I can’t solve this puzzle!”

Matthew turned around and marched his way over in their direction when he heard his son. He took a seat next to Damian and started sorting out the puzzle on the little boy’s behalf.
