You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

With just a few words, Clarissa made Matthew weak in the knees.

How can Clare be so adorable?

A warm hue gleamed in Matthew’s deep gaze as his lips curved into a gentle arch. As he smiled to himself, he felt an instinct to pamper his little princess.

The temperature of the room rose steadily, and one could almost feel the irresistible sweet scent of love in the air.

Letting the pleasant warmth engulf every inch of his body, Matthew took his time to read through Clarissa’s draft on the computer with her in his arms.

Eventually, he joined Clarissa in bed.

Though his little girl was still deep in slumber, when he pulled her closer in bed, she made a whiny sound and nuzzled against his chest with her hands around his waist.

Matthew lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently as he, too, fell into a deep slumber.

The next day.

Clarissa yawned as she rolled around in bed. She dragged her feet as she went about washing up and having breakfast. As she basked under the sunlight before the window, her eyes half-open, she suddenly remembered the draft she had been working on the previous night.

Her head immediately cleared as she scrambled to find her computer.

Fortunately, the draft she had written was safely stored and saved on the computer.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Clarissa began brainstorming what to write next.

Unbeknownst to her, Matthew had already found out about her special present for him.

For the entirety of the day, Clarissa put all her time and energy into working on her draft. Only when Matthew returned home did the events from the previous day come to mind. A sense of nervousness crept up her spine as she quickly closed her computer to welcome Matthew.

“I’m sorry. I forgot about it again today, but don’t worry. From now on, I will always stay with you when you’re at home! How’s that sound?”

Clarissa smiled meekly at Matthew, praying in her head that history would not repeat itself.

To her delight, Matthew seemed to be really “understanding” that day.

Running his fingers through Clarissa’s hair endearingly, he smiled gently. His soothing voice sounded rich and smooth, like a cup of hot chocolate, very much unlike his usual tone.

“Clare, that sounds great. If you feel inspired to work on your draft now, you can go ahead. I’ll just keep you company.”

What? Why does he seem so kind and understanding today?

Clarissa felt very doubtful about Matthew’s responses. She raised her eyebrows as she locked gazes with him as if asking him if there was some sort of trap.

“What’s wrong? Hah… What are you looking at?” Matthew chuckled and stroked her cheeks.
