You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 120

Clarissa had no idea if it was merely a coincidence or if she had been tailed since the moment she departed.

A few days ago, she encountered Jeremy. Yarick showed up in front of her out of the blue and said it was merely a coincidence. Perhaps she might run into another man in the near future.

Clarissa had no intention to waste her time with him either.

“I’m not really a tea-enthusiast, and I don’t think I have much to offer, Mr. Payne. I believe it’s best to keep your precious tea to yourself. Ryler, let’s go.”

When she was about to leave, Yarick got anxious. He couldn’t allow her to leave just yet.

Since he happened to meet her by chance, he had to give his best to keep her grounded for as long as possible.

“No, Clarissa! Ryler can leave whenever he wants, but not you!”

Ryler arched his brows and got in front of Clarissa because he thought Yarick was up to no good. After all, as one of the heirs of the wealthy families, they had a lot of odd kinks.

“Mr. Payne, if Clarissa has accidentally offended you, please do me a favor and forgive her for once. She’s but a foolish and innocent woman. I don’t think—”

Yarick couldn’t stand it anymore. He started yelling at the top of his lungs, “This has nothing to do with you! Get out of my way, Ryler! I need to talk to Clarissa! Also, stop misperceiving my intent with that filthy thought of yours. I don’t have the guts to try anything silly, even if I have the desire to. I believe that’s enough! It’s time for you to leave!”

The defensive Ryler refused to believe Yarick. In the end, Yarick turned to Clarissa and said, “I think it’s not necessary for me to justify the reason I’m here, right? I believe you know what I’m up to. Can we please talk about it?”

Ryler was baffled because the arrogant Yarick made it sound like a humble request to get Clarissa to spare him some time.

Nonetheless, Clarissa dead-panned her reply with a poker face and rebuked, “Mr. Payne, I don’t think there’s anything for us to talk about. Please stop putting me in a tight spot, okay? Haven’t you and your kind always been pretty half-hearted? Don’t you think you’re embarrassing yourself by getting in my way?”

Excuse me? Are you sure you’re not the cold-hearted one?

“Ryler, I believe it’s time for us to leave.”

Seconds after she announced their departure, she dragged Ryler out of the private lounge.

Yarick went after the duo immediately, but he brought himself to a halt after he stepped out of the lounge.

He saw Matthew in the dark, with gloomy expressions looming over his handsome face. Therefore, Yarick knew it was time for Matthew to be in charge.

“Matt, you know what? Just abduct her and bring her back to your place. Teach her a lesson in bed! I’m sure she’ll learn to behave herself!” Yarick turned around and suggested.

Matthew remained silent, but Yarick got increasingly worked up and anxious on his friend’s behalf.

“As long as you sort out the misunderstanding with her and tell her the reason behind your decisions, she’ll definitely return to you!”

Casting a wrathful gaze at the departing figures, Matthew didn’t even flinch and remained a straight face.

Yarick ran out of methods to deal with Matthew and headed over to Jeremy’s place to talk about the incident right after Matthew’s departure.

“Jeremy, there’s nothing else I can do about it! You know what? I asked Matt to rush over to my store because Clarissa was there! However, when he reached my store, he refused to strike up a conversation with her…”

Yarick started complaining about the things he had been keeping to himself all this while. The session lasted for about thirty minutes before he decided to stop.

“No! Jeremy! We can’t allow Matt to continue sulking at his predicament! If this goes on, Clarissa will run away with another man! You need to think of something to bring them back together!”

Jeremy gave it a thought for a short while. A few seconds later, he announced, “I have just the perfect plan for that.”

On the other hand, after Ryler brought Clarissa back to her place, she didn’t get out of the car.

She was certain he would inquire about the things that had happened. Therefore, she decided to tell him the truth.

“It’s about my ex-boyfriend. However, I have moved on from the past, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Ryler frowned and related her words to Yarick’s statements. He thought of something and asked, “Did the man bully you?”

“No? Do I look like such a weak woman? I won’t allow others to get the better of me, okay?” Clarrisa rebutted with a confident smile, but Ryler refused to believe her.

“You’re not completely wrong, but it’s merely a piece of cake for the man, who’s able to intimidate Yarick, to pick on you, isn’t it? Clare, why don’t you tell me the truth? Judging by Yarick’s reply, it sounds like the man is trying to get you to return to him. If that’s the case, are you sure you’re able to hold your ground? Why have you guys broken up in the first place?”

Clarissa had no intention to talk about the past. Therefore, she brushed it off and said, “What happened in the past doesn’t really matter anymore. I have moved on and will never allow others to get the better of me. Why don’t you go home? Your phone has been ringing for some time. I’m totally fine, okay?”

Ryler couldn’t suppress the urge to give her one last heads-up after she alighted from the car. “Clare, no matter what, I’ll always be here for you, okay? Since you consider me a brother from a different mother, tell me if you need me. I’ll teach those who try to pick on you a lesson.”

She had just alighted from the car, but she turned around and cradled him in her arms to express her gratitude.

“Alright, Mr. Cooper!”

She finally returned to her home after the man departed and disappeared into the bustling streets.

After she returned home, Clarissa was overwhelmed by the built-up fatigue. She felt disheartened whenever she was alone.

When she approached the window, she took cover behind the curtain, staring at the car downstairs.

Ever since she made her way back to D City, she knew the car had been following her everywhere she went. Whenever she returned to her place, the car would pull over downstairs for some time.

Clarissa decided to play dumb and behaved as though she wasn’t aware he was there because his actions were meaningless. She had made up her mind to move on from the past.

…

In the evening, Clarissa put on a simple yet elegant dress and dolled herself up, highlighting her ethereal-looking facial features and slender figure.

It would be perfect if she could stop shivering.

“It’s so freaking cold…”
