You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 94

Clarissa stared into Matthew’s unfathomable eyes and marveled at the tricks behind those eyes.

She thought he already knew about everything, but he was lying.

Suppressing a grin, Clarissa said, “Nothing happened. I don’t believe Mr. Payne has said nothing.”

Matthew remained expressionless as he raised an eyebrow at her.

“What is he supposed to tell me?” Matthew asked.

“Nothing. Don’t sound like I’ve done something bad behind your back.”

Clarissa gave him an account of what happened earlier. “Alright. I didn’t know Luke would be there! He was arrogant and rude to me. If it was not for Mr. Payne, I don’t know how he was going to bully me next. You’re acting as if I’ve done something wrong, but I’m the victim!”

When Clarissa finished, she cupped Matthew’s face with her palms and poked the corners of his mouth in an attempt to make him smile.

“Smile, Matthew! Can’t you console me since I was insulted?”

“How do you want me to do it?” Matthew whispered in his low voice and grabbed Clarissa’s hands at the same time.

He started moving his hands toward her waist and pressed her toward himself. As their foreheads touched, they could feel each other’s warm breath.

“What sort of consolation do you want? This?”

Matthew’s action was enough. His way of comforting Clarissa was to kiss her gently.

Clarissa didn’t reject him this time. She even wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

Clarissa’s rare obedience and initiative made Matthew’s heart palpitate. Unable to withhold himself anymore, he deepened the kiss and almost wanted to have sex with her right on the spot.

In the end, he managed to control himself and walked away from her after seeing her frightened expression. Then, he smoked a cigarette to calm down.

Clarissa felt sorry as she stared after Matthew’s towering figure.

I’ve heard that it isn’t good for men to hold it back. Will it cause any problems for him?

When Matthew turned around and noticed Clarissa staring at his crotch, his blood almost boiled with passion again.

He rasped, “What are you looking at? Do you want to continue?”

Clarissa looked away hastily and shook her head. “No, no.”

Her eyes flickered as she avoided his gaze.

Not long after, Matthew sat in front of her in an elegant posture and carried on smoking.

“You’re such a seductive devil, Clare.”

Clarissa pouted, unaccustomed to him teasing her with a stern expression.

Disagreeing with him, she retorted, “Are you blaming me? It is because of men like you with the same mindset that we women live miserable lives. I didn’t ask to look seductive to you. You men are the ones who are dirty-minded…”

Fine!

Clarissa was unhappy even though Matthew barely said anything,

Matthew sighed, then he got up and sat beside Clarissa. Just as he placed an arm around her, he forgot that he was still holding a lit cigarette. She accidentally scalded her arm amidst the struggle.

“Ouch!”

Yelling in pain, Clarissa held her arm and almost leaped up from the couch.

Matthew threw away the cigarette instantly and cuddled Clarissa. Pouring cold water onto her arm, he apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Clare. It’s my fault…”

The pain faded away gradually as Matthew apologized continuously. Although it was just a tiny scald, it was so painful that Clarissa yelped out loud and almost cried.

Matthew coaxed her and asked Mrs. Lawson to get a doctor.

“There’s no need. It’s just a small injury, nothing to worry about.”

After Mrs. Lawson retrieved a tube of antiseptic cream, Matthew applied it on Clarissa’s arm carefully. Holding on to her hand tightly, he moved her hand toward his lips and kissed it dearly while comforting her apologetically with his soothing voice.

“It’s all my fault, Clare. Does it still hurt?”

Still furious at Matthew, Clarissa scoffed and wrestled her arm out of his grip.

“Matthew Tyson, I…”

Before Clarissa could say anything, Matthew interrupted, “I know, I know. I shouldn’t have said that.”

Clarissa glared at him. “You didn’t just say something wrong! You are apparently having trust issues with me! Am I really that bad in your opinion…”

Matthew swooped in to shut her up again.

After struggling futilely, Clarissa lost her final strength and slumped into Matthew’s embraced. Her face was flushing fiercely, but deep down she was still indignant.

“You’re wrong anyway.”

“Yes, I’m wrong.”

Matthew wondered if Clarissa was going to hold a grudge toward him after he acknowledged his mistake.

“Hmph!”

Clarissa pulled away from Matthew. He was distracted by her red lips and glinting eyes, but she said seriously, “Since you’ve done something wrong today, you have to be punished for it. We’re sleeping in separate rooms tonight.”

“No way!”

Stumped, Clarissa spat, “I’m going back to my apartment.”

“I won’t allow that.”
