You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 402

Matthew smiled adoringly at the sight and made his way over to the woman’s side. He leaned forward and met her eyes.

However, Clarissa swatted him away and continued to stare out into the space. One would be curious as to what was on her mind.

Matthew let out a chuckle.

He pinched her little ears and asked, “Penny for your thoughts?”

Clarissa did not answer the man, or at least she seemed disinterested to answer him.

Helpless, Matthew could only bent forward and carry the woman in his embrace and sat back down himself, placing her on his own lap. He pinched her chin and edged close to kiss her on the lips.

“Clare, are you unhappy? Are you feeling alright?”

Clarissa shook her head and blinked her eyes blankly. Her voice sounded weak.

“Just lazy.”

Matthew was rendered speechless before he smiled. “Are you feeling bored? What about we go on a trip tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?”

They had agreed to have a getaway trip some time ago but somehow did not get around to it.

All this while, Clarissa had assumed that Matthew just did not have the time. They would be garnering unwanted attention if they had chosen to go on a getaway trip right then.

However, it would be impractical to wait until the case was solved.

“Yes, tomorrow.”

Seeing as the woman had been cooped up in the house for some time, Matthew thought it must have taken a toll on her.

However, he found her demeanor irresistibly adorable.

He lowered his head and planted a deep, long kiss on Clarissa’s lips.

After their lips parted, Clarissa asked again, “Are we really going tomorrow?”

“Yes, so where do you want to go? We can decide right now.”

Clarissa got down from his lap and checked her phone. After fumbling with it for quite some time, she gave Matthew an address.

“Erihal?”

“Sure, I’ve never been there.”

Matthew reached out his hand and touched the tip of the woman’s nose affectionately.

“Sure.”

Their passports were ready, and as for the other items needed, Matthew had a knack for getting everything ready done in a jiffy.

Clarissa and Damian were especially excited about the getaway. The little guy had been looking forward to a trip with his parents.

The two of them packed a lot of stuff into their suitcases as they ruminated over what else to add on. Matthew merely watched them in a corner with a serene smile on his face.

Matthew was a man of his words. Under some disguise, the little family departed for the airport and boarded the plane that was headed for their destination.

Clarissa had only heaved a sigh of relief after boarding the plane. She was thanking her luck that no reporter had managed to tail her. Otherwise, they might have to take a raincheck for the getaway.

Unlike the Jeradus flight which only took two hours, the flight they had boarded was taking a much longer time.

Clarissa and Damian went from getting all excited before they slept and woke up, only to realize that they had not arrived at the destination yet.

Only then did they realize that the flight was a long one.

Clarissa placed Damian down securely before leaning against Matthew’s shoulders and into his embrace.

“This is the first time our family has gone on a vacation together. How rare.”

Matthew could detect a hint of grumble in her tone, to which he replied with a smile, “Didn’t we go to Jeradus as a family too?”

“But you were occupied with work all day. Then on our next trip…”

“Yes, my bad.”

Clarissa grinned. “Yes, exactly. Contrary to the popular belief of young women out there, a president like you does not flirt with girls all day. I’m starting to think that you’ve only gotten married in your thirties not because you’re demanding in your taste in women, but because you’re simply just too busy.”

“Why, thank you for being so observant, Honey.”

Clarissa lifted her chin smugly, “Right? You’re lucky that I’m Ellie’s friend, and that I went to your house. Otherwise, I think you’re going to stay single for so long that even if you do get married when you’re old and cranky, it wouldn’t be for love. Even if you do find love, I bet you’re not going to be able to find someone as interesting as me, and you’re not going to have such an adorable son. Am I right?”

Matthew shook his head. “You got one thing wrong.”

“Huh? What is it?”

Matthew said dryly, “It’s not true love if it’s not you. So, there won’t be talks of marriage and the sort.”

“Hehe.” Clarissa beamed with delight after listening to her husband. She wrapped her hands around his neck and edged close to peck him on his cheek.

“Hubby, you’re getting more and more handsome.”

I’m getting more handsome just because I said something that tickled her fancy?

Matthew did not quite understand her logic, but seeing as she was quite happy about it, he did not protest.

He turned around and was about to say something when he noticed that the woman had already leaned against his shoulders with closed eyes. She’s fallen asleep.

Matthew chuckled softly. She’s gone mute in less than a fraction of a second.

What an enviable skill.

He pulled her blanket up and let her lean against himself close before he cuddled her and closed his eyes to rest.

After the plane had landed, Clarissa made her way over to Matthew’s side. The man was pushing the trolley with their luggage and Damian while she was still trying to snap out of her jetlag.

However, they need not worry about any paparazzi since they were on the other end of the planet. It would be quite impressive if any reporter had somehow managed to get photos of them.
