You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

It was not that Matthew wasn’t on good terms with his family, but he was put off by the things they did to him.

In the end, the family bond worn off by the day.

Nonetheless, he kept his mouth shut. He was used to keeping this toxic family relationship to himself. In fact, he was a man of few words.

“Ok then, I’ll deal with Grandma while you take care of your family.”

Matthew lifted the corners of his lips and patted her butt. “Ok, leave it to me.”

Clarissa wrinkled her nose to show her displeasure at Matthew for getting handsy.

However, she let him be since that was just how he was around her. She was used to it by now.

They walked along the road facing the sun as Matthew blocked the wind for her. He wrapped her up in his coat, closed his eyes and took a whiff of the cool crisp winter air. It felt like he was enveloped in warmth even though they were out in the bitter cold.

Moreover, Clarissa need not be afraid of the cold anymore with Matthew around.

They made out for a bit before heading back home.

Clarissa video-called Catherine alongside Matthew when they got back home.

She told Catherine all about their wedding plans.

“Good, good. It’s good that you’ve finally settled down.”

Catherine was ecstatic.

“Grandma, I’ll come over with Clare for a visit soon. I feel the need to formally inform you of this matter.”

“Oh, it’s fine as long as I’ve been informed that both of you are getting married. Right, have you guys decided on the date? How are you guys planning to do it? Anyhow, I’ll leave it to you. You, youngsters, are full of ideas. I saw lots of Chinese and Western-style weddings on the telly. You can decide for yourselves, no need to go through me. I just want you to be happy.”

“Grandma, you talk as if he doesn’t need your permission to do the proposal officially.”

Catherine chuckled. “Isn’t he doing just that right now?”

Clarissa rolled her eyes. Catherine was acting like she couldn’t wait to marry her off.

She shot Matthew a look of disapproval but was caught red-handed by Catherine. “Clare, why did you roll your eyes at him? That’s rather inappropriate. Also, don’t bully Matthew. He didn’t do anything to you.”

Clarissa widened her eyes in disbelief. However, Catherine brushed her off and turned her attention back to Matthew.

“Matthew, we don’t have any marriage requirements from our side of the family. What about yours?”

Clarissa kept quiet as Catherine asked about the Tysons. Nonetheless, Matthew kept it together with a smile. “Grandma, everything is fine from my side of the family. I will take care of everything, so you don’t worry.”

“Oh, that’s great.”
