You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa had slept until the next afternoon.

When she woke up, she laid down blankly for a while before realizing where she was.

Hearing voices outside, she got up, looked at her crumpled clothes, changed into a T-shirt and shorts, and walked out of the room.

Catherine was talking softly to the nanny while kneading dough.

When she saw Clarissa coming out, the old lady acted as if nothing happened and smiled. “You’ve woken up? You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I’m making dumplings with Julia; they’re ready in no time. I also made your favorite pancakes! Eat as much as you want.”

Clarissa’s eyes were a little swollen, and her hair was messy, but she was unaware of it as she didn’t look in the mirror. She sat in front of her grandmother and hugged her coquettishly.

“Grandma, I love you so much. You’re the best grandmother in the world.”

The old lady laughed and poked Clarissa’s forehead with her flour-stained fingers.

“Come on. I become the best grandmother only when I feed you? Look at how messy you look! Go wash up quickly.”

“I don’t want to! I’m still your baby even if I look like a mess.”

“You…” Catherine smiled helplessly. “Alright, don’t act like a baby when you’re already a big girl. Go wash up, and you can eat.”

“Alright.” Clarissa pecked her grandmother on the cheek. After a shower, she felt refreshed.

After helping Catherine with the dumplings, Julia fried them while Clarissa and her grandmother sat in the living room and listened to the music playing from her phone while munching on snacks.

One of the old lady’s habits was listening to music, and Clarissa hummed along somewhat inaccurately to it.

Her grandmother suddenly asked, “Didn’t you say you had a boyfriend? Did you come back because you fought with each other? Or something else?”

Her chewing stopped, and she shook her head.

“No, we didn’t fight. It has nothing to do with him; it’s because of something at work.”

She only remembered that she didn’t inform Matthew about leaving D City in a hurry and was worried that he would be angry at her for turning off her phone.

“Did you tell him that you came back?”

Clarissa shook her head truthfully. “No.”

The old lady couldn’t help complaining, “Sigh. Can you hurry up and tell him already? Don’t make him worried about you. I know that you tend to hide in your room whenever something happened, but you’re a big girl now, and you’ll live the rest of your life with your loved one when I’m gone…” She sighed. “Clare, Grandma knows that you’re used to being independent, but you don’t always have to do so. It’s all my fault, I’m so old, and I can’t help you with anything…”

Clarissa almost cried when she saw her grandmother like this.

“Grandma, don’t say that…You’re making me feel bad. You have to stay with me for the rest of my life. You can’t leave…”
