You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 245

Hilary was fearful of Zach because every tender gesture he made was usually accompanied by motives and selfish reasons.

Hilary knew Zach too well from her years spent with him, and she was aware that if she wanted to remain as Mrs. Garrett and live a luxurious life, she needed to obey him.

Hilary did not even resist when he grabbed her phone.

Once the call was connected, Zach’s voice sounded very gentle and loving.

“Clary? It’s me, Zach. As an elder, I need to check on you since you’re getting married soon. Since this is also your home, come over for a meal with Mr. Tyson when you have time. Hehe, your mom was thinking about that too, but she was too embarrassed to call first. Please don’t take it personally, alright? I’ll be waiting for the both of you… Really? In that case, you are welcome to come by yourself. Jonathan’s having his holiday soon and will be returning home too, you siblings have always been close…”

Zach chatted with Clarissa for quite some time as he was trying to cultivate a good bond with her. Through the phone, he spoke to Clarissa as if she and he had a great relationship, more than the general father-daughter relationship.

While listening to their conversation, Yvonne was filled with jealousy. However, now that Clarissa had realized her dream, if she wanted to continue opposing Clarissa, her father would be extremely unhappy.

Most importantly, as long as Clarissa still had control over her, she had to avoid making any rash decisions.

Now that her relationship with Mason had hit a rock and he had been putting on hold their marriage plans, Yvonne wondered if he had discovered something. After getting engaged to Mason, even though she still fooled around, she remained cautious the entire time.

As Mason had been consistently putting off the marriage plans, Yvonne became suspicious.

After feeling that she was losing her position in her family, Yvonne didn’t want to stay any longer, so she got up and left.

As soon as Zach hung up the phone, he stopped her from leaving and said, “Yvonne, come here. Where are you going?”

Yvonne rolled her eyes and replied, “Where else can I go?”

Zach responded, “Clary is getting married soon. What about you and Mason?”

“How would I know? Since he doesn’t want to get married, what can I do?”

Zach furrowed his eyebrows unhappily and said, “Ask him to come over soon as I have something I want to say to him.”

Yvonne nodded and left.

Before Hilary could ask if Clarissa agreed to come for dinner, Zach was already staring at her with darkened eyes.

“Hilary, what exactly did you say to Clary that made her turn down the dinner invitation. You better tell me the truth, what makes her so angry that she refused an elder’s invitation? What exactly did you do to offend your child?”

“I…”

Hilary was also furious as she thought to herself. What do you mean by offending Clarissa? It’s that brat who went up against me.

However, she did not dare to tell the truth after looking at Zach’s cold stare.

Since she wanted Clarissa and Matthew to break up, Zach wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it if that happened, and Zach wouldn’t be able to acquire the fortune he coveted. She might be skinned alive if he knew what she was up to.

Hilary trembled as she couldn’t look Zach in the eye, then she replied softly, “I didn’t offend her, it was just her throwing a tantrum. Everything will be fine after a while.”

Zach replied in disbelief, “Really?”

“Of course, you don’t need to worry, just wait until I talk to her properly. She has become even more ill-tempered since she got together with Matthew. So, please don’t rush it, it will get better with time.”

Hilary coaxed and talked gently to Zach, hoping that her husband would stop pursuing the matter any further.

Hilary instantly called Clarissa as he answered a call related to work.

Since Clarissa had already rejected Zach and decided to cut off ties with Hilary, it only made sense that she wouldn’t go over to the Garrett’s for dinner or anything like that.

Clarissa could easily guess what Zach was thinking, however, he did not know Hilary’s intentions yet.

When Clarissa answered Hilary’s call again, Hilary’s voice was nonchalant as always as she declared, “Spoiled brat. What’s the meaning of this? Are you really thinking of cutting ties with me? You even turned down Zach’s invitation, aren’t you worried he will hit me again?”

Clarissa smiled coldly as she said, “Alright then, I’ll go visit the Garretts since you’re the one who is asking me to go. When the time comes, I’ll let Zach know why I didn’t want to go initially and why I wanted to cut ties with you.”

“You… Spoiled brat, I’m your mother. Are you threatening me now?”

“You are the one who’s threatening me now. Alright, just wait and see what Zach would do if I break up with Matthew.”
