You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 267

What’s that? Oh, the marriage certificate. The one from three years ago.

Clarissa had not seen her marriage certificate in a long time and had almost forgotten that she was a married woman.

Of course, only Matthew and I know about this. Oh right, my part-time lawyer, Yael, and Tyson Corporation’s chief lawyer Hector too.

Clarissa’s mouth twitched.

“Matthew, do you carry your marriage certificate everywhere with you?”

The man in question raised his eyebrows as if to ask, “Is there a problem?”

However, she could not deny anything. No problem. Of course not.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she remained silent and avoided his gaze.

On the other hand, Joshua widened his eyes. “Is that a marriage certificate? Can I see it? I haven’t seen one before.”

Feeling helpless, Clarissa asked, “Is that your main focus, Joshua?”

Upon hearing her words, he came back to his senses and quickly composed himself.

“Oh, right, that’s not the point. But the point is, Rissa, he really is your husband. I don’t really want to provoke him, so I’d better quit first.”

He’s a good man who knows how to read the room.

Matthew smirked in satisfaction and looked over at Clarissa, but was she rolling her eyes at Joshua instead. How hopeless! He’s admitting defeat before he even tried. No wonder he can’t find a girlfriend.

Matthew put away the marriage certificate, then walked in and sat down, not the least bit looking as if he was there to care for a patient. He acted as if he was in his territory, his movements powerful and graceful.

“Clare, you’ve stayed here all night. You must be tired too. Go back and rest. I have a caretaker here anyway.”

However, she still had some anger left in her and wanted to vent it out. Yet, even though Matthew made it a point to come over, she would not let him off easily.

With a calm expression, she ignored Matthew, looking at Joshua as she said, “What do you want for breakfast? I’ll get it for you.”

Despite Clarissa’s “warm” concern, Joshua felt the air turn cold as a dangerous aura filled the surroundings. He had never felt that cold before.

He chuckled awkwardly, then said, “It’s fine. Let her go and buy it. I’ll eat anything.”

He then asked his caretaker to go and buy him some food.

However, it meant that only the three of them were left in the ward. Instantly, Joshua felt the air become more suffocating.

As long as Matthew was there, he felt as though he could not breathe properly.

If things continued the same way, Joshua would suffer from frostbite first before his injury even healed.

“Um… I…”

He suddenly spoke weakly, interrupting the strange silence between the other two people.

Then, when suddenly faced with the unusual stares from both of them, he awkwardly tried his best to seem as small as possible before he said, “I want to sleep. I still don’t feel very well. You guys should leave and don’t disturb my rest.”

Since the patient was already chasing his visitors out, Clarissa had no other reason to continue staying there.

She left the room first, and Matthew soon followed after.

Just as they exited, Matthew grabbed Clarissa’s wrist and pulled her hard into his arms. His other hand grabbed tightly onto her slim waist, making her unable to move at all.

“Let me go…”

Clarissa pretended to struggle, of course, without success.

Matthew then lowered his head as he leaned into her face. His breath tickled her cheek, hot and intimate.

“Clare…”

His voice was low and firm.

“Still angry?” he asked.

She snorted coldly then glanced away, not wanting to meet his gaze. She clearly did not want to bother about him.

However, regardless of how angry she was, things were fine as long as explanations were given.

But I can’t handle it. I’ll just stay silent like this till the end.

Helpless, Matthew leaned further in, nosing her cheek. His voice softened and had an additional tone of compromise.

“Clare, I really didn’t mean anything else when I said those words last night. I wanted you to head back to the hotel and rest well. If I’d said something wrong or didn’t realize my problem, could you please tell me? If you tell me what I did wrong, I’ll definitely correct it. If you don’t say anything and just sulk like you’re doing right now, I still won’t know what I did wrong. Then, wouldn’t your anger be in vain? In that case, I might still upset you because of the same thing in the future.”

Clarissa asked coldly, “Are you threatening me?”

Wow, look how innocent he thinks he is!

“Clare, Darling. That’s not what I meant. Look, you’re overthinking again.”

“Yeah, okay, I love to overthink. Happy?”
