You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 54

The corners of Matthew’s lips lifted slightly into a small smirk as he leaned on his bedframe again.

He did not call her back and thought of how the woman must be freaking out on the other end.

As expected, Clarissa grew frustrated after she ended the call.

It was not till the extent where she was in despair, but she still felt like someone had stabbed her heart with a knife. She rolled in bed, unable to calm down no matter how hard she tried.

The main issue now is why didn’t Matthew call me back?

He mentioned earlier that he would continue to call if I hung up, and he wanted to see my face until he falls asleep.

So why is he not calling me then?

Does he have so much to talk with that woman that he can’t be bothered to call me back?

Or, could they be…

Clarissa grabbed her hair and screamed in her head. You bastard, Matthew! Damn you!

Taking in a deep breath, she sat up from her bed with a cold glare that was burning with anger.

Hmph!

Why do I care so much? I have nothing to do with him anyway.

Clarissa, you should not think about anything else. I only need to fall asleep now. One sheep, two sheep…

She lay in bed, counting sheep, then, she started to hum a song after counting for a while. After a long while, she thought of the outline of her new article, with various scenarios playing in her mind.

After ten minutes, she sprung up to a sitting position in bed while tugging on her hair like a madwoman.

At that moment, her phone rang.

When she answered the phone, she immediately mocked Matthew, “Oh? Isn’t it a bit fast for you to be done with that pretty lady at your door? What’s wrong? Are you physically incapable or too weak?”

The smile that was originally on the man’s face disappeared as soon as he heard her words.

“Clarissa, do you know that a price has to be paid for challenging a man’s physical abilities?”

Instantly, Clarissa regretted what she said on a whim.

Feeling guilty, she immediately apologised, “I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. Whether or not you are capable has nothing to do with me.”

After she said that, she realized that her words could be interpreted in another way.

Embarrassed, she turned to face elsewhere, wishing it could hide what she thought.

Obviously, it did not help.

Clarissa was too naive.

At that sight, Matthew smirked and narrowed his eyes.

“It’s only a matter of time that it will have something to do with you.”

Instantly, the woman’s face turned red.

Unsure of what to rebut, she stuttered, “N-No… it won’t”

“Hmm, let’s test it out then. Let’s see if you will have something to do with me in the end, and you can see for yourself if I’m physically capable or not,” Matthew challenged.

Clarissa’s lips twitched in response.

“Also, you will be the only person who knows whether I am capable or not,” Matthew added.

“You… Must you keep talking about this? If you have nothing else to say, I am hanging up!” Clarissa huffed.

Immediately, Matthew stated, “Oh, I do have something to say. You are jealous.”

“No, I’m not!” Clarissa denied it outright but it didn’t sound the least convincing.

Matthew’s eyes glinted, and he continued to stare at her without saying anything else like he was already convinced that she was jealous.

On the other hand, his stare made Clarissa feel awkward.

Without a word, she hung up.

However, the moment she cut the call, he called again. Every time she ended the call, he would dial for her number again.

Matthew did not plan to stop pestering Clarissa that night.

In the end, she had to turn off her phone. Finally, peace.

While she lay in bed, she had an angry expression on her face with her lips pursed together. Unlike earlier where she had to count sheep, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes this time.

In contrast, when Matthew closed his eyes, his mind was filled with images of the woman. In the end, he dreamt of her that night, tempting him in various ways which drove him crazy.
