You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 391

As soon as Matthew returned home, Clarissa rushed over and firmly wrapped her arms around his waist as if she had been longing for his return.

She started weeping in an aggrieved manner and reprimanded Hilary, “She’s such a shameless woman! In order to achieve her goals, she’s willing to do anything and everything!”

It had been such a long time since Clarissa last behaved in such an aggrieved manner in front of him. To be precise, it had been a long time since the last time someone picked on her.

She couldn’t do anything to sever ties with Hilary as she had to take Catherine’s wellbeing into consideration.

Although Clarissa was fine with tolerating Hilary’s absurd request, Matthew was heartbroken because of the things his beloved wife had to go through.

In an attempt to console her, he held her firmly in between his arms and caressed her back in a gentle manner. He was determined to teach those who had gotten on his wife’s nerves a lesson.

Out of the blue, he lifted Clarissa and brought her to the couch. He had her nestling in between his arms and continued caressing her back to calm her down.

A short while later, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips as he was aware she needed a way to take things out.

“Calm down and listen to me, okay? I’ll teach her a lesson on your behalf! Just leave the rest to me and forget about it!”

Clarissa looked at Matthew in the eyes with her eyes brimming.

Irked, she stammered as she couldn’t even catch her breath, “S-She’s such a shameless woman! I-I can’t believe she’s threatening me with Grandma! S-She’s currently at W City—”

“You need to calm down.” Matthew interrupted his weeping wife and handed her a glass of water.

Once she finished the glass of water, he wiped her tears dry and caressed her back.

He assured, “Just take your time to gather your thoughts. I’ll always be here for you! Nothing can possibly get in our way! Have faith in me, okay?”

It was then Clarissa took a deep breath to gather her thoughts as instructed.

She finally regained her composure with Matthew next to her. A few seconds later, she told him Hilary’s plan, “She has made her way to W City and barged into Grandma’s place! It turns out she has also figured out I’m aware she’s not my biological mother! Hilary wouldn’t stop provoking Grandma as she was certain I would do anything to keep Grandma in the dark! To be honest, Grandma only gets to spend another few years with us! I want her to spend her last few years in joy! I can’t afford to let anyone provoke her!”

Matthew nodded as Clarissa had indicated her will to give in to Hilary’s demand for Catherine’s sake. He asserted, “If that’s the case, we’ll proceed with Grandma’s sake in mind. No matter what, we need to keep Hilary in check for the time being and ensure she’s going to keep the secret safe.”

“Mmm! To be honest, I’m afraid of doing anything rash! Otherwise, she might break the news to Grandma if she’s offended!”

Things couldn’t possibly get any worse. Initially, Hilary was the one who should be afraid since she was the one at fault.

However, Clarissa was afraid Catherine wouldn’t be able to handle the harsh truth awaiting her. Hence, she ended up being the one suffering.

On the other hand, Hilary was thrilled as things had just taken a drastic turn of events for the better.

Catherine was Hilary’s only chip of bargain she could rely on to gain a fortune. Thus, she secretly prayed for Catherine’s wellbeing.

“You don’t have to worry. I’m sure Hilary has the same thing in mind and will refrain from trying anything reckless since Grandma is the only one she can make use of.”

“What am I supposed to do next, Matthew?”

Clarissa’s mind was all over the place. She had a hard time figuring out her next best course of action.

“Hilary is merely coming after you to get her hands on a fortune. We’ll just give it to her when the time comes. She’s also filing for divorce with Zach. I’m pretty sure she’s going after his fortune as well. Let’s do her a favor and get her the best attorney to assist her in achieving her goals. You need to stop overthinking things over some trivial issues. We’ll keep her in check for the time being and figure out the proper way to deal with her soon.”

Clarissa listened to Matthew’s suggestion and said, “Mmm! I’ll get in touch with her as soon as possible!”

“She’s going to get in touch with you when the time comes. As for now, there’s no way she’s going to tell Grandma anything.”

Concerned, Clarissa asked, “Are you serious?”

“Just have faith in me and everything will be fine!”

Clarissa snuggled in between his arms. She was just glad to have him next to her when she needed someone the most.

Clarissa grasped his hand and expressed her gratitude in a mellifluous tone, “Matthew, thank you so much for being around!”

“Isn’t it natural for me to keep you safe from those who try to bring upon your misfortune?”
