You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 129

“Okay, hurry and get into the car.”

Right when Clarissa was about to get into the back seat, Mavis beat her to it. The former gave the woman a sideways glance before getting into the front passenger seat.

At that moment, Jeremy, who was standing right beside the car, turned around and heard Clarissa’s voice from the car.

“Thank you, Uncle Matthew and aunt.”

Pfft!

Jeremy staggered and almost tripped over.

Looking over his shoulder, he watched as the car drove away.

The man broke into a fit of laughter. He chortled even louder as he imagined Mavis’ expression.

I bet her face is contorting with rage right now.

Meanwhile, in the car, Mavis was on the verge of losing her cool when Clarissa called her ‘aunt,’ resisting the impulse to scratch the gorgeous young girl’s face.

“Girl, I’m not very much older than you, so just call me ‘miss,’“ she said through gritted teeth.

Without looking over her shoulder, Clarissa replied coldly, “You’re together with Uncle Matthew, so based on seniority, I should call you ‘aunt.’“

“Haha…”

At that moment, Clarissa could vaguely make out the hostility in the woman’s laughter.

Whatever!

Throughout the car ride, both Matthew and Clarissa remained quiet.

The atmosphere felt rather odd, but Mavis didn’t realize the awkwardness between the two.

Brushing aside the way Clarissa addressed her, she started chatting with the man.

“Matthew, let’s send this girl home first. Come to my house. I need to discuss the collaboration with you tonight.”

What collaboration? Why must she discuss it with him at night?

Clarissa pursed her lips with dissatisfaction.

In the meantime, Matthew hummed in response, “Mmm…”

In the passenger seat, Clarissa clutched her phone so hard that it almost broke in half.

How could he be so straightforward? I know we’ve already broken up, but doesn’t he feel ashamed of flirting with another woman in front of his ex-girlfriend?

“That’s great, Matthew. By the way, if it weren’t for this collaboration, we wouldn’t have met each other again after so many years. Do you still remember those good old days when we were still in school?”

The woman started talking about the memories they shared.

Right then, Clarissa felt an itch in her throat.

“Cough, cough… Cough, cough, cough…”

The sound of her unceasing cough was so loud that it interrupted Mavis’ reminiscence.

A few moments later, she finally managed to stifle her coughs, murmuring to everyone in the car, “I’m so sorry. I think I caught a cold.”

A hint of displeasure flashed across Mavis’ gaze. Did this girl ruin the mood on purpose?

“If that’s the case, we should ask the driver to send you home as soon as possible.”

“Cough… It’s okay, Mr. Davis. Please send her home first. I might need to go to the hospital later, so we shouldn’t hold her up.”

As Matthew’s chauffeur, Kyle Davis was very close to Clarissa.

Nonetheless, he said nothing and dared not to show the closeness between them.

Based on my personal experience, I prefer Ms. Quigley to the other woman.

While driving, he secretly gave Clarissa a meaningful look to reassure her.

“It’s okay. I think we should send you to the hospital first as I have a discussion with Matthew later.”

Clarissa didn’t argue with her. It’s all up to Mr. Davis. If Matthew really has the nerve to ask him to send me to the hospital first and spend time with this woman alone, I’ll not hesitate to do something about it as well.

Fortunately, the man didn’t utter a word.

The moment the car pulled over in front of Mavis’ house, the woman was displeased.

“Matthew, why don’t you come upstairs with me? Let the chauffeur send the girl to the hospital then.”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Before Matthew could answer, Clarissa coughed her lungs out.

After some time, Matthew finally spoke, “Mavis, it’s getting late. We’ll discuss it in the office.”

“But…”

“Goodbye.”

Mavis was smoldering with rage. My plan is ruined because of this b****!

Since Matthew had already rejected her, there was nothing else she could do but give up.
