You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 67

Matthew smirked and leaned forward to give Clarissa a peck on the lips.

“Yeah, I was threatening you. But you agreed anyway!”

“It doesn’t count!”

“It counts to me!”

“Matthew! You are so despicable!” Clarissa exclaimed.

“Oh, you’ll see more of the despicable side of me as time goes. Trust me – you’ll be loving it!”

“I don’t want to see it!”

She was confident that she would regret it once they head back.

It would then be too late for Matthew to bring her back to that place to threaten her.

Matthew chuckled and pinched Clarissa’s chin up while he pressed her down onto the back seat. Clarissa felt breathless as they were in a dangerous position.

“Alright, I was wrong! I won’t try to back out anymore. Uncle Matthew, I was wrong…”

Matthew did not release her. Instead, he inched closer, and his gaze turned intense.

“Clare, you dare say you don’t have any feelings for me?”

“I-I”

“You’re all that I have. I know that you have feelings for me, so stop denying those feelings, and please be mine.”

It was too simple to be true for them to be in a relationship just based on feelings.

As usual, Clarissa retreated. However, Matthew pressed her chin down and gazed intently into her eyes.

“Talk to me. Tell me what you’re thinking.”

“I’d have to admit that I really like you. However, I don’t think that we should be together just because we like each other – compatibility is more important.”

“I guess it all boils back down to your initial fear of being abandoned.”

Clarissa pressed her lips together but did not deny it.

“Then, let’s head to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate. Would that help to alleviate your fears?”

“N-No, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Then, what do you want?” Matthew asked coldly with his brows furrowed.

Clarissa thought to herself for a moment and dared not make any eye contact with Matthew.

She knew that she was a coward.

She was full of fears.

Honestly, even if she were to date other men, it would not reduce the possibility of a breakup. After all, not all relationships were fruitful.

As she thought to herself, she realized that she was nitpicking on Matthew.

Clarissa continued to reflect on her attitude and actions, but she could not hold herself back from reaching her arms out to hug Matthew. Then, she whispered in his ears.

“Okay, I agree to be with you out of my own will.”

Matthew finally got what he wanted. It was all under his control.

Even though she was slightly melodramatic, it was easy to control her as she had a kind heart.

He then lifted Clarissa and kissed her forehead.

“Are you serious?”

Clarissa nodded her head. “Yes, I am serious. I have no regrets because I really like you.”

Matthew could not hide his glee and prompted, “Really? What do you like about me?”

Clarissa blushed. “I like everything about you!”

“Everything?” Matthew said in his seductive voice.

He sounded so sexy as he caressed her chin.

“Tell me, Clare. What’s everything that you like about me?”

“Y-You!”

Clarissa hesitated for a moment while her cheeks blushed like a tomato.

As she was about to speak, there was a suspicious sound coming from outside the car. Matthew paused for a moment before letting go of Clarissa.

“Be a good girl and wait in the car. I have something to attend to. If you want, you can tag along too.”

What?

Clarissa looked out the window and saw several cars that stopped around. Donnie got off one of them and was waiting for Matthew.

Finally, she came to realization. She glared at Matthew. “So you were actually here for work?”

“You’re right. So smart of you!”

He kissed Clarissa’s forehead and elaborated, “This is a plot of land that Tyson Corporation recently acquired. Clare, what do you think we should build here?”

Clarissa was speechless – she felt like a fool.

What wilderness? What murder? It was all just a hoax!

That was just an excuse to threaten her. He had to be here for work anyway.
