You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 60

Clarissa’s heart raced upon getting into the car. It was as if she had done something unspeakable.

“What if someone sees us?” She couldn’t help but complain while making herself comfortable.

Matthew raised his eyebrows as he turned around and stared at the surreptitious girl. He let out a sigh.

“Why would I be scared about that?”

“Well, I’m worried that someone might see us. Alright?”

Matthew’s lips curled. “Why would a beautiful girl like you afraid of being seen by others?”

Upon receiving such a compliment, she blushed and fell silent.

Damn this man, he knew full well why I’m acting like this.

Matthew stared at Clarissa’s reddened face in fascination for quite some time without looking away, making her blushed even more.

Clarissa couldn’t help but turn away from his intense soul-piercing gaze and looked out the window.

Fortunately, Matthew’s phone rang and diverted his attention instantly.

“Yes?”

Matthew’s voice was deep and husky.

“I’m not free… Go home for dinner, no I can’t… Woman is mine.”

It sounded rather noisy on the other end of the line. Soon after, Matthew hung up the phone.

Clarissa blushed upon hearing him utter ‘Woman is mine.’

Was he talking about me? She couldn’t stop her face from reddening even more.

“Do you want to go and have some fun?”

She could feel his warm breath at the back of her neck and she shrank away. The moment she turned her head around, her lips gently brushed against his.

In a moment of shock, she leaned backward. However, Matthew reacted faster than her, he grabbed the back of her head and kept her in place until their lips and noses were almost touching.

Clarissa blushed as she stiffened. “You… Let go of me…”

Her lips brushed against Matthew’s while uttering that. She could feel herself burning from within.

Matthew chuckled softly and his deep voice filled the air between their lips.

“Answer my question, do you want to go and have fun?”

He leaned forward deliberately while asking that as if he was going in for a kiss. It was becoming more and more enticing for him.

“No!” Clarissa exclaimed instantly.

“Alright, we shall not go then!”

With Matthew being so close, Clarissa couldn’t help but shut her eyes. She didn’t dare to look anymore as she uttered her prayer inwardly in an attempt to calm herself down.

Seeing that, Matthew chuckled. In the end, he gave her a light peck and let go of her.

Just when Clarissa was about to take a deep breath after being released, he leaned in once again and pressed his lips against hers. Being utterly shocked, both of her eyes were opened so wide it looked as if they were about to pop out of her eye sockets. After a while, Matthew let go of her and burst out laughing.

Clarissa frowned while complaining, “Matthew, can you not be so childish?”

She didn’t expect Matthew to act in such a way.

Matthew stopped laughing. With his fingers propping up the corner of his forehead and his lips curled up, he stared at the infuriated Clarissa and replied, “Sure. I guess you prefer the composed me after all, right Clare?”

“Who likes the composed you, huh?”

“You don’t like it? So you prefer the childish version then?”

“I… I don’t like either!”

She retorted loudly and Matthew fell silent.

Just when Clarissa thought that Matthew was angry at her, he suddenly uttered, “You never say what you truly feel, huh?”

Clarissa was rather speechless because she knew he was on point about that. In response, she simply remained silent.

Feeling embarrassed, she turned her head to avoid looking at Matthew. His gaze was too passionate and it was burning with desire.

A smile flashed across his face as this was even more interesting than what he had imagined.

He failed previously because he had rushed in too quickly and it was too hasty of him.

But now, it seemed that slow and steady was the right strategy, and having an unspoken bond like this would add joy to his everyday life.

Not to mention, it would be more satisfying and rewarding at the end of the day.

Upon getting out of the car, Clarissa ran into the kitchen where Mrs. Lawson had prepared the ingredients for her to cook as usual.

Matthew went upstairs for a shower and after spending some time in the study, the dinner was finally ready.

The moment he sat down and was ready for his meal, someone arrived at the door unexpectedly.

Mrs. Lawson spoke into the videophone by the door and turned around to announce, “Sir, Mr. Smallwood and Mr. Payne have arrived.”

Matthew frowned. “I don’t want to meet them.”

After Mrs. Lawson relayed the message, Matthew’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Jeremy and Yarick were waiting outside. They were thinking of getting a free meal and taking the opportunity to find out who the woman was.

They thought that it could be Clarissa.

Knowing that Matthew would refuse to see him, Jeremy didn’t give up and called him again.

“Matt, don’t hang up. Let us in and join you for dinner, won’t you? Ah, don’t hang up. If you don’t let us in, I’ll go find your parents and tell them you’re hiding a woman! Wait! Don’t hang up, I won’t tell, alright? But please, we’re famished here, so just let us in, Matt!”

Yarick was sitting in the car with his legs crossed. He felt all kinds of disdain upon seeing Jeremy using threats and playing dumb just to get a free meal.
