You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa’s face blushed scarlet.

How did we end up here?

Clarissa frowned and prodded Matthew’s face that seemed to be inching towards her.

“I’m being serious.”

“So am I. Clare, let everyone know that I am yours. I guarantee that nobody will call me for such banal reasons ever again.”

Clare was stunned into silence.

Is he thinking of going public with our relationship?

I don’t think it’s the right time. Especially now.

Clarissa smirked and gave him an awkward smile. “I think Mr. Smallwood is aware and that he did it on purpose. This has got nothing to do with everyone else. Forget it. You refused, so I don’t really care anymore.”

As she said this, she got up and left, muttering to herself about how tired she was after a long day.

Matthew looked at Clarissa’s hurriedly retreating figure and laughed. “Coward.”

It wouldn’t be too much of a hassle if Matthew chose to let the cat out of the bag. The worst of the opposition would come from the Tysons themselves, but that did not matter to him at all.

However, he still had to consider how stressed Clarissa would be. A public proclamation would definitely come with its own host of problems.

It was precisely because of this that Matthew was willing to temporarily hide his love affair with Clarissa. He wanted to give her a chance to adapt.

This was not meant to be a permanent solution.

She was to become his wife, sooner or later.

Of this, Matthew was certain. He thought that he was simply infatuated by her in the beginning, but he now realized that he could not fathom falling in love with anyone else. He was determined to be with Clarissa, and she was the only one for him.

She was the only one who could bring him the contentment he so desired. Besides, who else would he rather call Mrs. Tyson if not Clarissa?

Shermaine did have quite a bit to drink, but she was not completely inebriated. This was all facade.

She tried to use this ruse to get Matthew to attend to her, but it failed miserably.

Finally, all she could do was feign unconsciousness and was promptly sent home to the Smallwood residence by both her assistant and Jeremy.

Shermaine suddenly opened her eyes the moment Jeremy left, shocking Kayla who was helping her get ready for bed.

“Shermaine, are you awake?”

Shermaine took one look at her mother and hugged her tightly. She then burst into tears out of heartbreak, all while accusing Matthew of cruelty and indifference.
