You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 132

Clarissa did not know how to react.

These people had deliberately brought her and Matthew together, not to mention, everything they talked about always leads back to them.

Have a child prodigy together?

Clarissa felt somewhat helpless and shot a furtive glance at Matthew, only to see an indifferent look on his face, as though he wasn’t listening to them at all.

She withdrew her gaze as thoughts flooded her mind.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes a fraction. Ladies usually dig Matt’s proud and cold demeanor, but under current circumstances, he shouldn’t keep acting like an arrogant d*ck, not if he wants to get back together with Clarissa.

As the atmosphere turned awkward, Jeremy spoke up once again.

“What do you think, Matt? Both you and Clarissa are so smart. Can we expect you two to give us a super-smart little godson?”

This time, the question was aimed directly at Matthew.

In the private lounge, everyone was staring expectantly at Matthew. As long as he spoke, their plan would go smoothly.

They believed that he only needed to coax Clarissa a little bit and this conflict would be resolved. Hence, they wanted to see Matthew’s reaction first.

Except for Clarissa, everyone else was waiting for Matthew’s answer.

She was the only one scrolling through her phone with her head bowed, looking like she couldn’t care less what his answer was.

As for Matthew, he lifted his gaze unhurriedly at Jeremy’s question and drummed his fingers on his thigh.

Then, he parted his lips and spoke in a cold voice.

“What does my child have to do with all of you? Stop asking stupid questions, Jeremy.”

His reply was like a bucket of ice water.

Silence ensued and the atmosphere grew thick with tension.

Done saying his piece, Matthew stood up and left the private lounge.

After he left, things didn’t really take a turn for the better.

The few of them exchanged wary glances, having already glimpsed Clarissa’s expression. Unfortunately, she was wearing an unreadable expression that prevented them from figuring out what was going through her mind.

These two are really hopeless.

Justin chuckled to break the awkward silence.

“Jeremy, enough about Matt. I heard that your family has given you an ultimatum. You can choose not to marry, but you must give them a child, something like that? Tsk, I think they’ve accepted that you can’t give up on your precious forest. You should quickly do your part and have a child so that your elders will stop worrying.”

“What? A child? If they want one, they can just pick one up from the streets for all I care.”

Jeremy would never go along with his family’s wishes, and of course he had said this without giving it much thought. Little did he know that his casual comment would one day come true.

Of course, this would only happen later in the future.

Everyone loosened up considerably as they talked about family matters.

However, Clarissa started to get bored.

After Matthew came back, it was her turn to go out.

Seeing Matthew that night showed Clarissa that there was no reason for her to stay anymore.

She initially planned to leave in a few days, but at that moment, she immediately used her phone to book a flight back to W City the next morning.

There was nothing left to hold on to.

Clarissa turned around, planning to bid Ellie goodbye and call it an early night. When she reached the door to the private lounge, she spotted Matthew and Shermaine.

She paused but didn’t turn back from where she came. Instead, she chose to hide just around the corner. She wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but she just didn’t want to run into the two of them like this.

“Matt, why are you rejecting me? I thought you’d finally admitted to our relationship when you stayed in Moranta to accompany me during my treatment. Why, Matt? Do you know how much I want to marry you? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for that moment?

“Matt, even if you don’t have feelings for me, our marriage will bring benefits to both our families.”

Shermaine poured out her feelings, but Matthew remained impassive.

“Shermaine, I’m sure you know why I accompanied you to Moranta and everything else I did there.”

Indeed, Shermaine knew why. At that time, she was also aware that Esther was only pretending to be sick.

When Matthew pointed that out in a cold and sharp tone, Shermaine’s chest tightened painfully as humiliation and anguish swept through her.

“Matt, I don’t believe that you don’t have any feelings for me.”

“I only see you as a friend.”

“Fine, even if that’s the case, aren’t you afraid the Wynters will be upset that you’re calling off the wedding just like that, Matt?”

“Is this a threat I hear?”

Matthew finally looked Shermaine in the eye, but his gaze made Shermaine feel as though she was plunged into ice-cold water and was drowning.

Her heart leapt to her throat and she took a subconscious step backward as panic filled her eyes.

Due to her heels, she lost her balance and shrieked in alarm.

Still hiding in the corner, Clarissa’s heart clenched nervously, but she did not look at them.

Soon, the sound of Shermaine’s sobs reached her ears.

“Matt, you still like me and care about me, right? I love you, Matt. I really do. Can we get married, please? Even if… Even if one day, you find a woman you truly love, I won’t mind and I’ll even give you my blessings. But now, just give me a chance to love you. Please?”
