You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Upon returning to Zen Highlands, Matthew went upstairs while Clarissa entered the kitchen after getting changed.

She was in a good mood and felt like making dinner for Matthew.

As the weather was cold, Clarissa decided to whip up a hot meal to warm themselves up.

At the same time, Matthew was standing by the kitchen door with his hands in his pockets while watching her prepare the food.

“Why are you standing there like that?” Clarissa asked with a smile when she saw him through the corner of her eye.

Unbeknownst to her, Matthew found everything she did captivating, including cooking in the kitchen.

Thus, he smiled back at her and said, “So I can admire your beauty, Clare.”

Clarissa blushed when she heard that and decided to ignore him as she focused on making dinner.

Matthew, too, simply watched her from a distance, so he wouldn’t get in the way.

After quite some time, Clarissa turned around and arched an eyebrow at him as she said, “It’s done! Come help me serve it up!”

Wow… She’s even ordering me around now? Matthew chuckled at the thought of that, but he refused to move.

Seeing that he remained stagnant, Clarissa frowned. “What are you waiting for? Oh, I can’t even ask you for a simple favor now, Mr. Tyson?”

“That’s not how you should address me, Clare.”

Clarissa blushed when she realized what he meant.

Jeez… Does this guy enjoy being called “Hubby” that much? Damn it… Ugh… I can’t bring myself to say it…

“You know what? Forget it. I’ll serve it up myself.”

As she was about to serve up the food, Matthew stepped forward and stood in the doorway, blocking her only way out with his huge frame.

She looked up at him and frowned in annoyance.

“Hey, what are you doing? You may not be hungry, but I’m famished! Get out of my way! Are you trying to starve me to death so you can inherit my life savings or something?”

Clarissa’s life savings meant the world to her, but Matthew didn’t understand her humor.

“And just how do you think your life savings will benefit me, Clare?” Matthew asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Alright, I get it… You’re so rich that it wouldn’t make a difference at all! Now, move it!”

Despite that, Matthew refused to move until he got what he wanted. “Clare… Can’t you just address me properly?”

“Matthew Tyson!”
