You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 420

Leia was weaned when she was fourteen months old.

Just like everyone had expected, Leia had grown to be a beautiful young girl. Her hair was black and lustrous, her eyelashes were impeccably long, and her features were not unlike the perfect creation of a master artist. In fact, she was prettier than a doll.

Anyone who saw her would love to take her home. But even though she was perfect, there was one thing that marred this perfection. You see, Leia didn’t like to talk. She didn’t care about anyone, and everyone thought she got that from Matthew. Yes, she was cold, but everyone loved that gap more.

However, her family knew Leia wasn’t apathetic; she was just an impossibly lazy girl. There was one time where Clarissa had to take a call after she made Leia her milk, so she couldn’t feed the girl. Clarissa left the milk on the coffee table and told Leia to finish it on her own.

Leia was on the sofa, reading her favorite book then. The milk was just at arm’s length away, so all she had to do was get off the couch and take it. Thinking the girl would do it on her own, Clarissa went away to take the call.

When she came back later, Leia had just closed her book. She was staring at the bottle on the table, but Clarissa realized Leia hadn’t even taken it.

Clarissa went down to look Leia in the eye. “Leia, I thought I told you to help yourself. Why didn’t you?”

Leia looked at Clarissa, but she didn’t answer right away. However, Clarissa waited patiently, so in the end, Leia answered reluctantly, “It’s too far.”

Clarissa stared at Leia for a moment, then she sighed.

She isn’t even motivated to talk? Jesus, this girl is in for some trouble.

But aside from Clarissa, everyone thought Leia’s laziness was adorable, even more so than Damian, in fact. Thanks to that, all her relatives liked to play with her so they could see how she would respond to them.

But up until now, Leia never showed any different response no matter who was talking to her, not even her parents.

Even so, Clarissa thought that side of her daughter could be funny sometimes.

That day, Clarissa left Leia home along with Damian. The kids played together, while she went to work.

Her movie was a success, but she never wanted to star in another movie again.

She wasn’t a professional actress in the first place. The movie was just a way to confess to Matthew, so she quit after one movie. After that, all she wanted to do was to write her book and script.

Aside from writing, she started spending a lot of time on doing charities. She used to help Olive with her foundation, but only occasionally. It was a busy time for her back then, so she seldom helped.

But that changed after she gave birth. Clarissa started showing up more, and sometimes she brought Leia with her as well. She didn’t want to be absent when Leia needed her milk, after all. Not to mention she had great fun and found another purpose in life through doing charity.

Clarissa also thought getting involved in charity would be great for her children as well. Either way, helping out with charities was what Clarissa liked to do the most for the time being, since it brought her peace and color in life.

Olive was holding a big charity banquet for her foundation that day. This time, Clarissa was both a guest and staff member. She was already working on the scene since morning, but she changed into a dress at night so she could attend the banquet.

Matthew wouldn’t let her dress too beautifully though, since there wasn’t anyone there to keep her safe.

He’s been following me all day. Everyone’s looking at us. This is so embarrassing.

“Can you just sit down, Matthew? I’ll come over once I’m done. Stop following me around…”

Matthew arched his eyebrow, grinning matter-of-factly. “Am I getting in your way, Clarissa? No, right? And I can even help you out.”

Clarissa rolled her eyes, but Matthew covered her face quickly and smiled. “Your image, Clarissa.”

“What? Nobody’s looking.”

As if. You have no idea how mesmerizing you look right now, and not just on the outside either. You’re charming both on the outside and inside.

Looks weren’t the only important thing for the guests in the banquet. They had seen a lot in life, so charm was more important than looks for them.

To Matthew, Clarissa was only getting more charming and beautiful with every passing day, and his love for her only grew deeper.

“Oh, gosh.” She chuckled. “Cut it out and have a seat. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Someone called Clarissa over, so she went over to them, leaving Matthew alone.

Just when Matthew got back to his seat, Jeremy huddled closer and whispered, “Are you getting nervous, Matt?”

Yes, Matthew was nervous, but he didn’t show it to anyone. Aside from Clarissa, nobody could see through him.

But Jeremy smiled, for he obviously saw through Matthew. “Clarissa’s looking lovely today,” Jeremy praised, only to get glared at by Matthew.
