You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 227

After Catherine left to rest, Clarissa threw herself into Matthew’s embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist like a child.

Chuckling lightly, Matthew caressed the top of her head as if she were a pet.

Clarissa’s hair became a mess, but she did not mind. They held each other for a long while, neither of them breaking the comfortable silence.

Matthew allowed her to work through her churning emotions while he waited patiently.

Quite some time passed before Clarissa spoke.

“Grandma cried her eyes out the day my father passed away. Had it not been for me, she might have followed him soon after. Now that Aunt Gloria’s sick, Grandma’s greatest fear is attending another child’s funeral.”

“What did the doctor say?”

“It’s nothing serious, and it’s definitely not fatal, but Grandma still feels anxious. The way I see it, Grandma will keep worrying until the operation is over.”

“Well, just have the surgery as soon as possible.”

“Yeah, it shouldn’t take long, but Grandma would probably be too preoccupied to enjoy herself in the meantime. I’m feeling pretty depressed myself. I understand that it’s a matter of life and death, but I know all too well that they have hidden agendas.”

Matthew smiled. He tilted her chin and lowered his head to give her a peck. “Don’t worry about their petty schemes. Those issues will resolve themselves.”

“I’m only holding back because Aunt Gloria is sick. If they push me over the edge, I can be mean too,” Clarissa stated, pursing her lips.

“Mean?”

Matthew laughed lightly and pinched her cheek.

“Clare, you don’t have a mean bone in your body. Why don’t you show me how mean you are, hmm?”

Matthew’s stare bore into Clarissa, making her chortle. She gave him a coquettish look.

“Stop it,” she whined in mock anger.

She then grabbed Matthew by his ears and faked a fierce expression. Narrowing her eyes, she tried to appear as menacing as possible.

“I look mean, don’t I? I’m telling you, I’m a bad person. I’m rotten to the core.”
