You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

That was what life was all about – finding joy in the little things.

Even though Clarissa and Matthew were still in the honeymoon phase, they had laid out a sturdy foundation for their relationship to thrive slowly even after their passion fades.

Clarissa finished the whole plate of baked chicken wings herself.

It was as if she was rebelling against grandma’s words by not leaving a single piece for Matthew.

Catherine glared at her several times for her childish behavior. After dinner, Matthew was rubbing Clarissa’s tummy while Catherine went for a walk with Jenny.

“Look at that! It seems like you’re now her favorite.”

Clarissa was still stuck on that issue.

Matthew smiled gently and lightly pushed her forehead with his finger.

“Grandma is doing all of that for you.”

Clarissa went silent as she knew that grandma’s actions were out of concern for her.

Clarissa pouted and nodded her head in hesitation.

“You knew, and yet you’re still upset?” Matthew chuckled at Clarissa’s grumpiness.

“She’s showing concern for me so that I would dote on you more. That’s just how she expresses her love for you. I’m sure you know her intentions too.”

Matthew pulled her ears in a teasing manner. “Setting aside grandma’s concern, don’t you feel my love for you?”

“Still not enough!”

“I’ll do better, as long as you still love me. Alright, so that’s our agreement, okay?”

Clarissa puffed her cheeks, pointed her finger, and poked hard at Matthew’s forehead.

“You view our relationship as a transaction?”

She was not pleased to know that.

Matthew smirked, grabbed her finger, and kissed her.

“Yes, a transaction involving my heart and my life. You have no other choice but to accept my offer.”

Clarissa stuck out her tongue and returned the joke, “So I guess I just got kidnapped onto a pirate ship.”

“So, do you want to be on this pirate ship?”

Clarissa flattened her lips in response.

Matthew chuckled in his deep voice.

“It seems like you love it.”

Clarissa pouted, and Matthew went in for a peck on her lips.
