You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 118

Margaret couldn’t believe that Matthew would reject something that was almost confirmed.

She held in her anger and questioned Matthew, “Did you say I forced you to be with Shermaine for a month? Did you also say you don’t have feelings for her at all?”

“That’s correct.”

“Okay, let’s say that I really forced you to do so, but you should also consider the relationship between the Wynters and us. If you refuse to marry her, do you think the Wynters will let it drop? Matthew, you can’t treat your marriage as a child’s play,” Margaret confronted him with a threatening tone.

However, Matthew refused to budge on his opinion. “Mom, Matthias, and I will take care of our relationship with the Wynters. Everything can eventually be solved as long as all of you are not meddling.”

“Did you say “meddle”? Matthew, I’m doing all this because of you! Tell me, is Shermaine not good enough for you? Why on earth are you willing to solve all the troublesome matters instead of being with Shermaine?

What would his motive be?

As soon as Margaret asked the question, a thought seemingly flashed through her mind.

“You are in love with another lady, aren’t you?”

Does he refuse to be with Shermaine because of another girl, even at the risk of jeopardizing the relationship between the two families?

Matthew did not answer nor deny it.

Margaret was rather upset. “When did it start? Was it before or after you met Shermaine?”

Regardless of the answer, Margaret would be infuriated by it anyway.

After all, she had jumped to the conclusion that an unknown woman “seduced” her son had made him disobedient.

However, Matthew was determined not to tell them anything about Clarissa.

Hence, he ignored her question and said, “Please stop matching me up with Shermaine. As for the Wynters, Matthias and I will solve the ensuing problem to maintain our relationship.”

Everyone was silent once he finished.

Meanwhile, Margaret poked George’s arm, hoping that he could say something.

“Matthew, do you think it will be that easy to solve the problems?”

George knew that it would be a difficult task because their relationship was complicatedly intertwined with various interests.

“Dad, Mom, please don’t worry about it.”

At this time, Matthias interrupted, “Matthew and I know what we have to do.”

George was deep in thought as he looked at Mathew. He knew that Matthew was opinionated and wouldn’t allow anyone to meddle in whatever he wanted to do.

Also, he knew that Margaret coerced Matthew to try being with Shermaine to match-make them. She even went to desperate lengths to fake illness so that Matthew would go to Moranta with Shermaine.

However, all of Margaret’s busy work didn’t bear fruit in the end.

On the contrary, the situation became more problematic because of what she did.

After a while, George said, “Alright, your mom and I won’t meddle in it for now. However, both of you will have to bear the consequences regardless of what the Wynters would do in response.”

As Margaret wanted to add something, George shot her a glance as a warning to stop talking.

Despite her anger, she had no choice but to hold her tongue.

Margaret finally berated George after Matthew left, “Why did you stop me? Do you know that I mentioned to the Wynters about their engagement ceremony just yesterday? But look at Matthew! What should I do now?”

Meanwhile, George furrowed his brows as he was a little irritated.

“Why were you that impatient? I mean, everything turned sour because of your wishful thinking.”

“Was it my fault? I did it for Matthew’s own good. I mean, Shermaine is a perfect girl. Besides, I didn’t force him to accept her when Matthew refused to be with her in the past. Nevertheless, Shermaine eventually became part of the Wynters. Since we are on good terms with the Wynters, wouldn’t Matthias enjoy more resources if Matthew and Shermaine can be together?”

“Were you planning to sacrifice Matthew for Matthias? How could you play favorites?”

“Was I playing favorites? I wanted the best for Matthew too.”

“Would you fake illness to threaten him if you wanted the best for him?”

“I… You didn’t oppose it, did you?”

“I really thought that you were sick!”

I…”

On the other hand, Ellie was annoyed by their buck-passing.

When she went upstairs to return to her room, she passed by her parent’s room and heard their conversation.

“So, did Matthew refuse to be with Shermaine because of that lady? I thought he and Shermaine were together. My goodness. I never thought that it was not the case.”

“All of us can tell that it was Shermaine’s unrequited love. I mean, when did Matthew ever smile at her? The Wynters are actually well aware of it but doesn’t want to tell the truth. Besides, the Smallwoods even added fuel to the fire by spreading rumors about the marriage between the Tysons and the Wynters.”

“When Shermaine was only part of the Smallwoods, their marriage isn’t necessary. Now that she became part of the Wynters, it wouldn’t be good to you if Matthew is still that stubborn. Will you really allow him not to marry Shermaine? He might be lovesick, but how can he ignore what might happen to you? You can’t afford to fall out with the Wynters at this juncture…”

“That’s enough.”

Matthias seemed to get impatient. “Stop the nonsense. This is about Matthew’s happiness. Since he’s not willing to marry her, how can we force him into it?”

“But…”

“Enough. Let Matthew and I handle this. Also, don’t talk any nonsense to Mom. I know what’s on your mind, but we can’t be that selfish.”
