You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Outsiders might think that Matthew was a lone wolf, a cool and collected person determined to achieve his goals no matter what.

But there was another side to him that very few people knew about.

Unreasonable? A horrible flirt? Thick-skinned?

And so many other qualities that she had yet to discover.

What the hell am I thinking!

What else is there worth discovering?

Clarissa wanted to push Matthew away and leave him behind in an ultra-cool fashion.

But the reality was that she wasn’t strong enough to push him away, and she couldn’t act cool at all.

She gave up on trying to push him away. Furrowing her eyebrows, she said, “Let go of me. I want to go home.”

“Go home? To let your mother send you straight to Luke’s bedroom?”

His words hit a nerve.

Clarissa was so frustrated she wanted to scream. If she went back to her apartment, she might have to deal with Hilary’s various acts of victimhood and attempts to gain pity. And even if she tried to prevent herself from feeling any emotions, there was no way she could be cruel towards her own mother.

So, she calmed down and just stood there.

Matthew chuckled under his breath, the hint of a mocking smile on his face.

This woman’s too stubborn and prideful to take back what she said. I bet she’s waiting for me to be the one to persuade her to stay.

“Are you staying?”

Clarissa forced herself to glance at him. “I’m taking the guest room downstairs.”

“Of course. Did you think you were going to get to sleep in the master bedroom? Or worse, sleep with me?” Matthew raised an eyebrow.

“You… You wish!”

Clarissa’s jaw clenched in annoyance.

He had already let go of her and was heading upstairs.

Just as he turned the corner, he looked back to say, “Don’t come out of your room at night. I’m afraid you might come into my room and take advantage of me.”

“That’s supposed to be my line.”

She pulled a silly face behind Matthew’s back to relieve her anger.

Soon after, Mrs. Lawson silently appeared out of nowhere to help her with her sleeping arrangements. Clarissa laid down on her bed after everything was settled, but she didn’t feel sleepy in the slightest.

It got worse when it started to rain outside. In the end, she sat up and left the guest room.

A small, dim lamp in the living room illuminated the silhouette of a man sitting on the sofa.

All her feelings of sentiment, sadness, and depression swiftly cleared from her head. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Matthew spoke up.

“Come here.”
