You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Before The Wedding

There were a lot of guests at the banquet, and a lot of reporters too. In other words, Matthew just made a proposal on national TV. The audience who were watching the show felt touched, envious, and happy for the couple.

Clarissa was the happiest woman in the nation that night. In fact, everyone thought she had made it in life.

In the end, the guests started cheering Matthew on, so he hugged Clarissa and kissed her. Of course, the reporters made it their job to take as many photos of the kiss as possible.

Apparently, the proposal was the actual highlight of the event.

After that, Matthew said he would set up a foundation called ‘Clarissa’s Kindness’ to honor Clarissa.

Clarissa had been crying tears of joy ever since Matthew proposed to her. Lots of women were so envious of Clarissa.

After that night, Clarissa would be the idol of every woman in the nation. She was beautiful, smart, successful, happily married to a hot and loving husband, and she had two beautiful children. In short, she had made it in life.

Besides, they loved her novels and movie, especially Clarissa and Matthew. Whenever they felt down in life, the ladies would watch Clarissa and Matthew to feel better.

The movie gave them hope that a good life was waiting for them. They had hope that they could either have a successful career or a great love life thanks to that movie.

For a long while after that, Clarissa’s life was a great motivation for a lot of people, but that was another story.

For the time being, everyone had their eyes on the wedding that would come soon after the proposal. Everyone was wondering how the happy couple’s wedding would look like. They wondered where and how it would be held.

Everything was already perfect for them, if there was one thing missing, that would be a wedding.

Some people even started guessing where the wedding would be held. Some said it’d be held in a European castle, while some said it would be held in the polar region. Some said it’d be held on a beach on an island.

But there was not much argument over the style since it’d either be an Oriental, Western, or a mixed of both. However, the people were speculating over the list of guests.

All the famous celebrities were asked if they’d attend the wedding.

“Are you invited to Mr. and Mrs. Tyson’s wedding?”

“Do you know any details about the wedding? Can you tell us about the date?”

Everyone who was remotely related to Clarissa would be bombarded with the same questions. That was even more so for Yaala, Roxanne, and Ryler, who were best friends of Clarissa.

“Clarissa, when are you guys going to hold the wedding? Get it over with, or the reporters are gonna kill me with their questions. They keep hounding me for answers, but I don’t have any! Why aren’t they asking you?”

Clarissa smiled apologetically.

“Oh, right. They don’t even have the guts to do that. You’re really lying low right now.”

Clarissa didn’t appear in front of the public anymore. She was like a princess living in her castle all day. The reporters were dying for a scoop, but they couldn’t even find her, so no scoop for them.

Clarissa wasn’t doing it on purpose. She was staying at home to come up with a new script. She got that inspiration from an orphaned girl she met back at the foundation. The girl’s life was a sad one, so Clarissa wanted to write a script based on orphans. That was why she locked herself in. She wasn’t shy or anything.

“A movie script, huh? Your scripts are super popular right now, aren’t they?”

Yaala knew the quality of Clarissa’s scripts. She might have been awarded best actress, but she was on a bad streak at the moment, so she never got to see a good script.

Since she was Clarissa’s friend, she wanted to see if she could get a role.

Clarissa smiled. “Ms. Zaha, the script is a work in progress. And the lead is a child.”

“I know. I’m good with a supporting character as long as they stand out.”

Clarissa gave it some thought. “Hm. I’m still drafting the supporting cast, but I’ll put you on the list if I can come up with a perfect one for you. That’s a promise. You know I would love it if you can get a role in my story.”

“Sure. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Matthew came back before Yaala could leave, so Yaala had to watch as they kissed.

Ugh. So mushy.

Yaala wanted to look away in embarrassment, but she didn’t.

After Matthew went upstairs to change, Yaala asked, “Honestly, when’s the wedding?”

Clarissa shrugged. “Who knows?”

It wasn’t a straight answer, but Yaala noticed the love in her eyes.

Oh, she’s not finding out on purpose, huh?

Since Clarissa didn’t answer her, Yaala stopped asking and quickly left.

Clarissa was with Leia when Matthew came down, while Damian was learning a foreign language when watching a TV show.

This feeling of warmth was why Matthew looked forward to coming home every day. He had a wife and children, so there was something to come home to.

Matthew sat beside Leia and put her in his lap. When she realized there was something to lean on, Leia leaned against him, refusing to sit up. It feels comfy to lean on Daddy.

Clarissa frowned and smiled dryly. “If you keep this up, you’re gonna grow up hunched and ugly, Leia.”

Leia ignored her mother’s warning. “I’m as pretty as you are, Mommy,” she said calmly. Leia wasn’t trying to be smug or anything. She was just telling Clarissa what everyone told her.

Clarissa had nothing to say to that.

Matthew smiled. “Leia, your mommy’s right, so listen to her.

Leia pouted and refused to say anything. She wasn’t a talkative child anyway.

“See? That girl is so lazy thanks to you.”

Matthew shrugged. “She’s always been this way ever since you were pregnant with her. That’s why you’ve always been complaining.”

Clarissa couldn’t say anything to that either, but she glared at Matthew. She couldn’t get angry with Leia, but she could do it to Matthew.

However, she couldn’t stay angry with Matthew as he was looking at her so lovingly.

After getting Leia to sleep that night, Clarissa went to take a bath. When she came out of the bathroom, Matthew took her towel and helped her dry her hair.

Clarissa could do it herself, but Matthew liked drying her hair for her. He told her he’d dry her hair whenever he was around, so Clarissa played along.

She sat on the bed, while Matthew was drying her hair behind her. After a while of silence, Matthew blurted, “Why don’t we go on a vacation, Clare? Just the kids and us.”

Clarissa froze up for a moment, and she smiled. “Are you sure it’s a vacation?” She turned around, smirking at Matthew.

Matthew gave in. He smiled and pinched her cheek. “Can you not do that? You have ruined the surprise.”

“Hey, it’s not my fault. Everyone’s talking about it, and I’ve been wondering when you’ll bring this up.”

The only thing she saw online these days was her wedding. It was either another prediction, another ‘leak,’ or another detail about the wedding. Everything was fake, of course. Clarissa didn’t mind it one bit, but the netizens were getting jumpy over it.

Matthew tossed the towel away and put her on his lap, then she followed along.

“So when’s the vacation?” Clarissa smiled, deciding to play along.

“We’ll be going this Friday.”

“I see. Are you sure everything’s prepared?”

“Yes. It’s been years.”

The island Matthew bought for her was already filled with flowers, waiting for her arrival. Beyond that sea of flowers, the sacred vow awaited the bride in white.

To be honest, Matthew had been waiting for years for this event.

Clarissa smiled, and that smile extended to her eyes. She leaned ahead, kissed Matthew on his lips, nose, and eyes before answering, “I do.”

That was the answer she didn’t tell him back at the proposal.

Matthew’s heart leaped in joy, and that joy overflowed. He pinned Clarissa down, responding to her kiss. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

……

At long last, there was news about the much anticipated wedding between Matthew and Clarissa. They sent some invitation to the media, though only to selected outlets.

They even limited the kind of photos they could take, but even so, the invitation felt like bliss to everyone who received it. Thanks to that, the reporters showed the invitation off on their social media blatantly, much to their friends’ chagrin.

Aside from the reporters, after the couple’s friends and family made their landings, they would stay in a hotel near the island. A boat would pick them up the day before the wedding.

There were some houses on the island, of course, but it couldn’t house too many people, so only Clarissa, her bridesmaid, and her friends were there.

Matthew was staying in a hotel near the island, but his friends were taking him to a bachelor party the night before the wedding. However, the party was a little disaster.

Matthew would either call or voice text Clarissa every five minutes, much to his friends’ annoyance.
