You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Meanwhile, Clarissa invited Jeremy and the others to have dinner at Zen Highlands. Since it was not easy to be able to get them all together, she began preparing dinner in advance.

In the afternoon, Ellie arrived at Zen Highlands. As she seldom came here, she ranted about Matthew in an exaggerated fashion.

“I’m sure you’re not aware that Zen Highlands is Uncle Matt’s personal domain. Even my family has to ask for permission before coming over. It’s the same for my grandparents, let alone for someone like me. Clare, I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that I don’t really know how Zen Highlands looks like. On my previous visits, I only sat in the living room and would leave after they were done talking. Tell me, is he still the same person?”

Clarissa laughed, “You’re just being a drama queen. There’s no way your uncle will forbid you from coming over to Zen Highlands.”

“It’s a possibility!”

Shaking her head, Clarissa couldn’t help but smile. “If you feel like coming anytime in the future, I will definitely not stop you.”

Ellie replied with a smile, “Err, I’m not sure if Uncle Matt is still the same person but I definitely know you’re going to be my dear Aunt Clare!”

Clarissa was embarrassed when Ellie addressed her that way.

She threw a clove of garlic in Ellie’s direction. “Stop the nonsense and peel the garlic for me.”

“Alright, Aunt Clare. Whatever you say, Aunt Clare.”

“Shut up!”

“Yes, Aunt Clare… Hahaha.”

Unable to do anything, Clarissa ignored her ramblings and focused on cooking instead.

In the evening, when Matthew returned from work, the other guests arrived one by one.

When all of them greeted Clarissa, they couldn’t help but tease her.

“Mrs. Tyson, what a wonderful housewife you are. When is Matt going to marry you and tie you down?”

“Marry? Is this not enough?”

“Matt is really lucky given how pretty and capable you are. How did he managed to snag you?”

“What do you mean snag? That sounds so crude. You should ask how he won Mrs. Tyson’s heart instead?”

“I think Matt must have forced himself on her. Or else, if I were Mrs. Tyson, I wouldn’t want an old man like Matt.”

“Ahahah…”

Unlike their usually reserved selves, even Justin chipped in with a joke or two. They embarrassed Clarissa so much that she just wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole.

Finally, they stopped teasing her after Matthew shot a glance at them.

Laughing awkwardly, they took their seats while Clarissa returned to the kitchen to continue with dinner preparations.

Soon, dinner was served. The moment they started to dig in, Yarick devoured the food just like a hurricane. While the others maintained their table manners, he was there just to enjoy the food and couldn’t care less about keeping his manners.

Meanwhile, Ellie almost got into an altercation with Yarick over the last chicken wing as she felt she deserved it for being the youngest.

Given how obnoxious the reason was, Clarissa rolled her eyes at Ellie.
