You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 61

“Go away!”

Her fair and small-looking face looked frosty as she uttered that.

Matthew rubbed the tip of his nose against her face and neck. He fully embraced the beautiful scent that was lingering around her.

A moment later, he lifted his head and curled his lips at Clarissa.

“I sense that someone’s on edge.”

“That’s because I’m sweating…”

Having uttered that, Clarissa felt embarrassed and started blushing.

Matthew couldn’t help but chuckle after seeing her adorable reaction.

“Haha…”

“Stop laughing!”

Clarissa was a little annoyed and her cheeks puffed up in anger.

However, it only made her even more adorable looking like that.

Matthew couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks with his slender fingers. It was only after he received another angry glare from her that he decided to straighten himself up and let go of Clarissa.

With a lazy smile, he uttered, “Go on now. Otherwise, they would think that you’re holding me back in the kitchen to do something unspeakable.”

After saying that, Matthew left the kitchen.

As for Clarissa, she couldn’t even utter a word due to the anger she felt after hearing his words.

What did he mean by me holding him back?

He was the one that’s forcing me! That man’s such a rascal. He’s simply, simply… A complete and utter bastard!

Clarissa was infuriated. She then looked at the final dish she had prepared when a sinister thought popped up in her mind. She sprinkled a lot of chilies on it and stirred it well before taking the dish out with a cold smile.

Mrs. Lawson had mentioned before that Matthew never eats spicy food and Clarissa had never cooked anything spicy either. Hmph! Just you wait, Matthew! As for the two uninvited guests… You can suffer along with him!

Clarissa was fuming from within. After she brought the dish out from the kitchen, she deliberately placed the dish in front of Matthew. Upon seeing that, Jeremy couldn’t help but tease him jokingly.

“Ah, Mrs. Tyson is so caring toward Matt!”

During the entire time, Yarick was focusing on his food. He did not dare utter another word to avoid offending others even more.

Matthew raised his brows and glanced at Clarissa. To his surprise, she did not turn away but gave him a coy smile instead.

Then he shifted his gaze onto the delicious-looking dish.

Clarissa sat down again and started eating quietly.

There was a heavy silence for a moment before Matthew pushed the dish toward her abruptly and said, “Clarissa, you’ve worked hard tonight. Do eat more.”

The corners of Clarissa’s mouth twitched instantly. Unbeknownst to her, Matthew had caught on to her plan and his eyes darkened while a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“No, I’m fine. So just go ahead and eat.”

Clarissa pushed the dish toward Matthew awkwardly.

Matthew stared deeply at Clarissa. Under his intense gaze, she could feel guilt surging within her. She kept her head lowered the entire time she ate.

“Yarick, Jeremy, eat up.”

Jeremy was taken aback. His eyes darted back and forth between Matthew and Clarissa. He knew then and there that something was up as Matt was never the generous nor understanding type of man.

“Haha… Matt, you’re too kind. I don’t like to eat this, let fatty have it.”

On the other hand, Yarick suddenly felt like crying after receiving such overwhelming kindness. Before that, he was feeling sorry for himself because he had said the wrong things and ended up offending others.

“Thank you Matt, thank you Mrs. Tyson…”

Without saying another word, he picked up his spoon and took a big mouthful.

“Uh…”

Just when Clarissa was about to say something, she held back her words instead.

The three of them stared at Yarick chewing the food.

Moments later, he started coughing violently. “Water, water…”

Clarissa quickly handed him a glass of water while Yarick coughed up all the food that was in his mouth. It was a rather disgusting sight to watch.

Fortunately, everyone managed to dodge away from getting sprayed by the food.

Yarick’s chubby face turned red instantaneously. Then, he stared at Jeremy, Matthew, and Clarissa accusatory.

Both the men were calm and not feeling the slightest guilt even though they had victimized him.

Meanwhile, Clarissa couldn’t hold it in any longer and started apologizing with her face flushed bright red. “I’m sorry. I must have added too much chili in the dish, I’m really sorry.”

“Clarissa, are you sure you didn’t do it on purpose?”

Even Yarick who wasn’t as bright could tell what was going on. It was obvious that she had done that deliberately, but that dish was for Matthew, not him.

Clarissa was feeling uncomfortable under the men’s stares. She quickly stood up and said, “I… I’m done eating. Please enjoy the food.”

Time for me to escape!

After she left, the three men who remained in their seats had completely lost their appetite.

Matthew stood up and walked toward the living room. After lighting up a cigarette, he sat down.
