You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Meanwhile, Matthew had postponed his work to personally welcome Clarissa and Catherine upon their arrival at the airport.

Catherine seemed to be in a great mood when she got off the plane. She then started going on and on about how Matthew shouldn’t have troubled himself like that.

Taking her by the hand, Matthew smiled as he reassured her, “Don’t worry about it, Grandma. Besides, how could I miss out on something as important as picking you up?”

Catherine didn’t say anything further, but she was really satisfied with what Matthew did.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, the view of their house in Zen Highlands still left her shocked nonetheless. On top of that, it also gave her a decent idea about Matthew’s financial capability.

Catherine wasn’t an ignorant old lady and was well aware of how much Clarissa’s house had cost her when she bought it back then.

From what I heard, the market value of the houses in our residential area has gone up recently, so we were lucky that Clary bought it before that… I can’t even imagine how much a house in D City would cost these days, especially a villa with a huge garden like this… I bet I’d never have a chance to see that kind of money in this lifetime!

Catherine had a smile on her face as she entered, but she wasn’t really all that excited.

Upon entering the bedroom, she grabbed Clarissa by the hand and let out a sigh.

Clarissa sat down beside her, confused as to why she seemed unhappy all of a sudden. “What’s wrong, Grandma? Are you tired? Or are you feeling unwell?”

Shaking her head, Catherine stared at her granddaughter affectionately and said, “I knew Matt was wealthy and all, but I didn’t think he was this wealthy… This house is something we could ever hope to afford, Clary. I can tell that he really likes you, but there is something I need you to understand…”

Clarissa pursed her lips and nodded. “I think I know what you mean, Grandma.”

“Yeah… You’re a smart girl and have always made your own decisions for yourself, after all. Even so, I’m still going to say it anyway. Don’t commit yourself completely to your marriage with Matt, Clary. It’s not that I don’t trust him or anything, but there really isn’t much we can do for you if his family doesn’t treat you well. You know how much it pains me to see you get hurt, don’t you?”

Clarissa pouted and hugged Catherine as she said, “You’re the best, Grandma! I totally understand what you mean, and I promise I’ll be careful. But don’t worry. Matthew will have my back if they dare bully me. And if that doesn’t work out, I’ll just leave him and move back in with you, Grandma!”

Chuckling softly, Catherine gave her a light smack on the back. “What are you saying, Clary? If you two ever get into a fight, I want you to work it out between yourselves, okay? Matt is a really great man, so don’t you let go of him that easily, you hear me?”

“I hear you loud and clear, Grandma! Trust me. Everything is fine between us.”

After Clarissa’s reassurance, Catherine didn’t say anything further.

In the meantime, Matthew was making a call when Clarissa returned to the living room.
