You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 71

“Matthew, don’t… don’t you dare lay your hands on me!”

Now, Clarissa was no different from a helpless animal waiting to be slaughtered. She could hardly do anything if he really forced himself on her.

Clarissa stuttered and tried to resist when she sensed the growing desire in Matthew’s obsidian eyes.

As they were so close to each other, Clarissa dared not to move an inch. Besides, she could clearly feel Matthew getting hard.

She held his arm forcefully and nervously and stared at him, hoping that he could feel her resistance and pleas.

“Don’t…”

“Clare…” He suddenly leaned forward and whispered in her ear in a slightly hoarse voice.

The next moment, her body shivered when he gently bit her ear.

“Clare, when can I lay my hands on you?”

“… Well, it won’t happen now. Since we’ve just started going out, we don’t really know each other yet…”

“Is that so? I know you very well!”

Matthew grabbed Clarissa’s waist tighter when he spoke to give her an obvious hint. Obviously, he had some misunderstanding about whether he really knew Clarissa.

Although Clarissa’s face was flushed, she looked at him with dissatisfaction.

She wasn’t as embarrassed or nervous as before when she said solemnly, “We haven’t really known each other yet. We might like each other now, but the feelings we have now are rather superficial. Uncle Matthew, you and I haven’t really understood our true selves. We are probably getting along well now but might eventually figure out that we are not as perfect as expected. So, why don’t we just take our time? After all, I don’t want to rush into a relationship.”

Matthew fell silent and calmed himself down. After that, he turned around and sat next to her. At this moment, the intimacy between them had faded away.

After a while, Clarissa sat up and kept a slight distance from him.

Although she could only see his back but not his face, she could somehow feel that he was angry.

Despite his vexation, she was determined to tell him the truth.

“I might seem ungrateful, but I mean what I said.”

A moment later, Matthew replied in a deep voice, “You’re indeed ungrateful.”

As she was baffled by his response, she couldn’t help but let out a “Humph.”

Unexpectedly, he turned around and pushed her body down. The next moment, he pressed against her body with his arms.

Why is he so unpredictable? He looked upset and said unpleasant words earlier on but hugged me now.

“What are you trying to do?”

She avoided his gaze as soon as he opened his eyes.

“Go to sleep!” He said coldly.

Upon hearing his command, she immediately closed her eyes and slept.

Meanwhile, his lips curled into a smile, which soon disappeared.

The next morning, Matthew had already left the room when the alarm rang and woke her up.

She thought to herself when cleaning herself up. Is he still mad at me?

Her guess was proven to be right because he didn’t harass her in the office throughout the day.

Humph! So, he’s mad at me? Why is he angry?

Does it mean that we have to break up just because we didn’t do the deed?

In that case, Clarissa thought he wasn’t the man who deserved to be loved by her.

Also, she unilaterally declared a cold war against Matthew because her mind was in turmoil.

After she returned to the apartment angrily, she didn’t even have the appetite to eat. Instead, she pondered if she had to make things clear with him. Since he is mad at me because of that reason, I must break up with him.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She answered it and asked grumpily, “What do you want?”

Miles away, Ryler was startled for a moment and chuckled upon hearing her grumpy voice. “What’s wrong, Clare? Who pissed you off?”

Once Clarissa heard his voice, she immediately composed herself and changed her tone.

“Oh, nothing. Ry, you are not filming now?”

“No. I’m back in D City for an event and happened to have some free time tonight. Would you like to have dinner with me?”

“Sure, but…”

Since Ryler knew Clarissa’s concern, he reassured her, “Don’t worry. We’ll meet at a private place where no one will take pictures of us.” “Alright then. Give me the address.”

After hanging up the phone, she put on a dress, a cardigan, and a pair of high-heels. She looked gentle but still a little sexy after letting her long hair down.

Given that Ryler suggested the place, it would certainly be a private restaurant.

After entering the private lounge in the restaurant, Clarissa finally heaved a sigh of relief.
