You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Smart Leia

As it was the weekends, Clarissa slept for a longer time.

After waking up and heading downstairs, she saw her daughter 'meditating' alone as usual. She lay on the couch and basked in the sun lazily. As she was closing her eyes silently, Clarissa did not know if she was sleeping or thinking.

Damian was accompanying her at the side. Like a mature little boy, he read a book seriously.

When he saw his mother coming down, he flashed her a sweet smile.

“Mommy, you're awake!”

Clarissa returned a smile. Walking over, she kissed her son's forehead. Damien was now in year one and he resembled Matthew even more.

Even his face was starting to look like Matthew.

However, unlike Matthew, he was a caring little gentleman.

Perhaps because he had been influenced by Clarissa, he preferred to smile and praise others. Not only did he enjoy helping others, but he was also kind at heart.

Clarissa was pleased that he was growing into a thoughtful and kind boy.

At least, she did not need to worry that Damien would grow up to be aloof and cold like Matthew.

She turned her gaze to her daughter. The little girl was becoming prettier as time passed, inheriting all of Clarissa and Matthew's features. However, they were puzzled about where she got her laziness from.

Clarissa would never admit that she had passed her laziness genes to her daughter. That was simply impossible.

“Is your little sister asleep?”

Damien laughed. “No.”

Chuckling, Clarissa walked to her daughter, squatted down and tugged her hair.

Only then Leia's eyes flutter open as she gazed at Clarissa. However, there was a tinge of unhappiness in her eyes.

Clarissa even pinched her ears and chubby cheeks.

“Leia, why don't you eat breakfast with me?”

The little girl stared at her silently, her eyes revealing her annoyance.

It was like she was replying, “I have already eaten, so you can eat alone.”

“I know that you've eaten, but you always eat very little. In that case, you won't be tall or pretty in the future.”

However, a mocking look appeared in Leia's eyes.

Clarissa gazed at her son innocently. “Damian, is Leia mocking me? Did I say something wrong?”

Damian pursed his lips and chuckled. “Mommy, how can Leia's gaze reveal so many emotions? Did you write so many novels that you imagined it?”

“But didn't you see that? Isn't she laughing at me?”

Damien glanced at his younger sister. However, Leia closed her eyes and turned her head away, as if she did not want to talk to Clarissa.

“See, she's looking down on me!”

Clarissa pouted pitifully and tried to seek consolation from her son.

However, Damian gazed behind her.

Before Clarissa could react, Matthew pulled her into his arms and gave her a good morning kiss, not bothered about both his children watching.

However, no one in the family would feel awkward by this simple kiss as they had already gotten used to it.

After that, Clarissa started to complain, “Matthew, your daughter is mocking me with her gaze. Did you see that? She actually knows how to mock people! Wait, that's not the point. The point is—does she understand what mocking someone means?”

Matthew shot a glance at the innocent-looking Damien and Leia, who could not be bothered with Clarissa.

Fine, it isn't nice to keep hiding the secret from Clarissa.

Sighing softly, he hugged Clarissa's waist and walked toward the dining room. Meanwhile, he coaxed, “Let's eat first. I'll tell you the reason afterward.”

“What reason? I just told her that if she doesn't eat breakfast, she won't become tall or pretty in the future. That's very clear! I'm just wondering if Leia's a bit too mature. When did she learn how to mock others? This can't do. I'm her mother, but how can she treat me like this? I'm devastated... Matthew!”

In reality, Clarissa was exaggerating it.

When she pretended to cry, she even cast a glance behind Matthew's shoulder to see if her daughter would come over and console her.

However, Clarissa was simply too naive.

Leia was as lazy as everyone knew her to be.

She had never been as thoughtful and caring as Damian when he was younger.

Clarissa shot a disappointed look at Matthew, which caused him to chuckle in amusement. Stroking her cheeks, he said, “Stop fooling around. Let's eat first!”

Clarissa huffed unhappily before sitting down and eating.

As she only woke up late morning, the family had already eaten. Usually, she would be the last one to wake up in the family. Firstly, she did not have to go to work. Secondly, she was so used to 'exercising' with Matthew at night that this became a habit.

Although Matthew did not eat breakfast with her, he was there to keep her company. He would use his phone to check his emails or read the news.

While Clarissa ate, she kept nagging about how her daughter was not sweet and caring at all.

However, Matthew merely smiled silently.

Sometimes, if he actually agreed with what she said, she would chastise him instead.

As time passed, he realized that staying silent was the best response he could give.

Sometimes, after nagging for a while, Clarissa would interrogate him, “Why aren't you saying anything?”

Only after he spoke rationally without being biased to anyone would he be spared.

Why did he suddenly mention Einstein?

Ahhh... It's annoying how Matthew's beating around the bush and changing the topic.
