You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

The next morning, when Clarissa woke up, Matthew and Catherine had just arrived home.

She walked out of the room in a daze to the sight of Matthew with bags of groceries hanging on both his arms. It was a funny scene.

“Lazy girl, you’re finally awake. Matthew woke up early in the morning. He even took a jog before accompanying me to the morning market. Look at you now.”

As Catherine nagged on, Clarissa stuck her tongue out playfully and headed to the bathroom.

When she finally exited the bathroom, her gaze was clear. She skipped out happily.

Matthew laid out the breakfast they bought earlier. The three of them sat down to enjoy the spread.

Catherine was obviously in a jolly mood.

After breakfast, Clarissa asked, “What happened to Grandma? She can’t seem to stop beaming.”

Matthew caressed her smooth cheek adoringly.

He satisfied himself with a kiss and nibbled on her earlobe before replying lazily, “She feels proud.”

“Proud of what?”

“She introduced me to her neighbors and friends at the morning market.”

Clarissa’s lips twitched wordlessly. Oh, so that was what happened.

I should’ve known. Those who go to the morning market are elderly people from our neighborhood or nearby. Grandma knows most of them. As Matthew tagged along, she must’ve boasted about him proudly.

Looking up, Clarissa studied the man’s attractive features and let out a laugh.

“Grandma must be proud to have such a handsome grandson-in-law.”

She stood on tiptoes and gave him a loud smack. “Good job. This is your reward.”

“Darling, this is too simple a reward. I want more than that.”

With that, he captured her mouth in a long and passionate kiss.

That morning, Clarissa brought Matthew around W City. Instead of visiting the tourist spots, they visited the places familiar to her—her alma mater, favorite park, the favorite cafe where she used to type her heart out, and some local eateries.

At this moment, Matthew was no longer the stern president of Tyson Corporation. He accompanied his girlfriend for the whole day like a normal boyfriend would do.
