You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Both the grandmother and granddaughter duo had no concern for Hilary any more.

Now that she had done things that way, she couldn’t expect them to still accept her as part of the family.

She had become a stranger to them, an annoying one at that.

She did not mention this matter to Matthew either, since revealing Hilary’s bad behavior would not benefit her in any way. Although she could treat Hilary coldly, she could not be mocking and talking badly about Hilary to others.

After that, the days went on as usual.

Clarissa’s birthday was approaching, but she did not make it a big deal. For the past few years, it was only Catherine who celebrated her birthday with her, cooking her tagliatelle for breakfast. Then in the evening, she would prepare a special dinner for her and they would make a wish and eat the cake. Clarissa had celebrated her birthday in low profile for more than twenty years, so she thought this year would be no different.

However, other people did not feel the same way.

Jeremy and the others had already started sending her presents in the group chat a few days earlier while urging Matthew to organize a birthday party for Clarissa.

Matthew rarely participated in the group chat, but when Jeremy suggested a birthday party, he agreed and asked Jeremy to organize it. Upon receiving Matthew’s orders, Jeremy gladly accepted the task.

Despite her attempts to refuse, Clarissa was completely ignored and they had started their discussion in the group chat already.

Should the venue be Zen Highlands or somewhere else, the party theme, who to invite…

The plan had already been set in motion. Some of them participated enthusiastically, even dragging Ellie into the group chat to discuss it further.

In comparison with the discussion of her wedding plan, Clarissa felt they had given more importance to her birthday party. There was even going to be a segment devoted to Matthew giving her a present.

While Clarissa pictured the situation, she couldn’t help but imagine that it would be as extravagant as him giving her the ring.

Clarissa discussed her thoughts and feelings with Matthew after he returned, but Matthew chuckled lightly and said, “This is not a bad thing if it really feels like that. It’s kind of like experiencing the wedding process in advance. Isn’t it good if we treat it as a wedding rehearsal?”

This made Clarissa roll her eyes and wrinkle her nose. “I won’t comment further then, alright? You can do whatever you want. I only hope it won’t be too extravagant, just a simple dinner party with a few friends, alright?”

Matthew kissed the corner of Clarissa’s lips and said, “I’ll speak to Jeremy about it, we will keep it simple.”

Clarissa felt relieved after hearing that. However, it might be too soon for her to feel that way because the simplicity she had in mind was very different from what Jeremy thought.

But she would worry about that later. As of now, Clarissa couldn’t imagine the outcome of the party Jeremy planned.

Recently, Clarissa began writing again. Hence, when Matthew came home, she didn’t cling to him like she usually did and that made him feel a bit empty.

In the past, she used to give him a hug or a kiss whenever he returned home. After dinner, she would stay close to him even if they had nothing to say, accompanying each other warmly while they went about their own business.
