You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 128

The man was none other than Matthew.

She could feel it the moment she landed in his arms.

Her body went stiff immediately.

Why do I bump into him every time I get embarrassed or into a fight? What kind of ill-fated love is this? Did he overhear our conversation? This is so frustrating.

Clarissa could barely contain her exasperation. After Matthew held her up, she couldn’t bring herself to glance at him. With her head lowered, she mumbled, “Thank you.”

On the other hand, Helen was fearful when Matthew first showed up. However, the woman regained her boldness the moment she remembered that the two had already broken up. Looking at Clarissa’s timid face in front of the man, she became even more full of herself.

She sneered, “Haha… Mr. Tyson, what a coincidence. Clarissa didn’t tell me that you would be coming over as well, but she brought her boyfriend, Mr. Wynter, here. It looks like she didn’t tell you about it too.”

Helen mentioned Damon in an attempt to instigate a row between them.

Letting go of Clarissa, Matthew took a step back, putting both his hands into his pockets. His chiseled face stayed frigid while his piercing, dark eyes became unreadable and devoid of emotion.

He looked at Clarissa as though she was a complete stranger to him.

Seeing that, Helen’s lips curled up in a smirk.

“Mr. Tyson, we couldn’t believe it when Clarissa told us that she broke up with you. We only knew that she was being serious after she brought Mr. Wynter along to the gathering. Anyway, it’s not surprising since she has always had countless admirers. Other than the men in our class, she’s surrounded by many accomplished men like you, Mr. Tyson. I bet her suitors never stopped pursuing her when she was still together with you…”

Apparently, Helen was trying to set Clarissa up.

Perhaps she thought Matthew was going to get mad at Clarissa.

Nonetheless, before she even finished talking, the man turned around and walked away impassively.

Clarissa felt her chest tighten. Although Helen didn’t successfully enrage him, she still felt satisfied at the sight of Clarissa’s rigid expression.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Clarissa, are you still hoping for Mr. Tyson’s love? Tough luck! Why would he long for you when he already has a fiancée like Ms. Smallwood now? What a joke. By the way, I wonder how Mr. Wynter will react if he knows that you still can’t get over Mr. Tyson. You’re such a greedy woman.”

Averting her gaze from Matthew’s leaving figure, Clarissa turned to look at Helen. All of a sudden, a grin appeared on her face.

Her eyes fell on someone behind Helen as she said, “Why don’t you ask him about it yourself? Mmm? Damon, what do you think?”

Taken aback, Helen turned around and saw Damon standing behind her.

His expression grew stern at her question. Walking over to Clarissa, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a firm hug.

“Clare, I don’t mind whether you have feelings for me. I’m willing to love you wholeheartedly as long as you let me stay by your side. Please don’t push me away, Clare.”

His sudden confession startled Clarissa. His acting is so good that he almost fooled me.

On the other hand, Helen’s face contorted with resentment.

“Mr. Wynter, Clarissa is a loose woman. She…”

“Shut your mouth!”

Holding Clarissa in his arms, Damon shot daggers at Helen.

“Clare is my woman, and I know her way better than you do. You’re just slandering her out of jealousy. I don’t mind if anyone is as smitten with Clare as I am because she’s the best girl I’ve ever met. Those men who don’t like her are either blind or just unlucky. I know that you’ve been picking on Clare. I can forgive your past wrongdoings, but I will never let you off the hook if I ever find you trying to single her out again.”

Petrified, Helen turned around and stomped off furiously. Right after she was out of sight, Clarissa nudged Damon.

“Thank you for helping me out just now. Damon, you’re really skilled in acting.”

The man flashed her a warm smile. Though he had let go of her, they were still standing rather close to each other.

“I wasn’t even acting. I meant it from the bottom of my heart. You know I like you, don’t you?”

Clarissa felt mildly awkward all of a sudden, and her eyes flickered as she looked away. Sensing her uneasiness, Damon didn’t press on anymore.

“Let’s go. Do you want to go back to the private lounge or head home?”

Clarissa hesitated for a while. “Let’s go home.”

“Sure.”

On the way to the entrance, Clarissa stopped in her tracks. “You may go home first. I have something else to attend to.”

Damon raised a brow at her, but she smiled at him without explaining further.

“Okay, I’ll get going now. Be careful on your way home. Call me when you get into a cab and reach home.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

With a smile, Clarissa walked him to the entrance. She then went back into the private lounge to excuse herself. Her classmates gave her meaningful smiles without saying a word while Helen sat in silence.

Afterward, Clarissa didn’t leave the hotel right away. Even she herself couldn’t tell what she actually wanted to do. The woman despised herself for doing this, yet she couldn’t help it.

She roamed around the entire floor twice, carefully checking out every area and corner. Soon, she came to the realization that she was acting silly. What am I doing? Previously, I was adamant about breaking up, and yet I’m doing this now. Forget it. This is so not me. I’ve always been rational and decisive.

Turning around, she walked over to the elevator.

While she was waiting for the elevator door to open, she could hear footsteps approaching from behind.

However, she didn’t pay attention to them. With her head lowered, she clicked on an app to hail a cab.

“Clarissa? What a coincidence.”
