You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 154

Clarissa flipped her laptop open. But before she even managed to open that video file, the hum of a car engine could be heard from a distance. It grew louder and louder by the second. She glanced away from her screen and saw Matthew’s car on the ground below.

That was exactly why she had decided to sit on the balcony that night. Even with her headphones on, she could constantly watch out for Matthew’s return and cover her tracks in time before he could notice anything.

To her surprise however, he had come home much sooner than she’d expected.

Clarissa could feel her cheeks turn hot as she hurriedly put her laptop away. As Matthew looked up from where he stood, she forced an awkward smile and waved at him.

Matthew raised a brow. Wasn’t she complaining about the cold weather earlier?

What is she doing on the balcony?

Brushing his thoughts and questions aside, he stepped into the house to see Clarissa had already come downstairs. She greeted him with a brief glance before seated herself on the couch and continued to fiddle with her phone.

His heart tickled at the sight of her reddened ears. Is she still thinking about how I teased her earlier?

“Clare?” he called out as he walked towards her.

Clarissa’s cheek burned even hotter when he sat down beside her and leaned over.

Her eyes remained glued to the phone. She could feel the heat within her head radiating slowly across her entire face and down to her throat.

Matthew gazed in amusement at her violently blushing cheeks and neck. He wondered if his dear little Clare’s body turned just as red beneath her clothes.

At that thought, a dim glow flickered in his dark pupils. He slouched against the backrest in a relaxing manner while crossing his legs and tilting his head slightly. His eyes fixed on Clarissa as he quietly enjoyed this satisfying yet torturing sight of her.

Unable to withstand his gaze any longer, Clarissa covered her ears in her hands and looked away.

“What are you doing? Quit staring at me and go upstairs! Dinner’s ready. The food’s gonna get cold if we don’t eat soon.”

Matthew raised a brow and smiled teasingly. “You aren’t even looking at me, Clare. How do you know if I’m staring at you?”

Still facing away from him with her ears covered, she rolled her eyes. Aren’t you being obvious enough?

“Of course, I know!” she scoffed.

“Come on, Clare. You know you’re wrong,” he chuckled. “You don’t believe me? Turn around and see for yourself. I’m not looking at you.”

Clarissa turned towards him and was about to shoot him a glare.

But the moment they locked eyes, heat began spreading through her whole body again like wildfire.

What Louisa had shared with her and Ellie earlier was still fresh in her mind. On top of that, she had been visualizing various scenes in preparation for her upcoming script. Sometimes her brain would unwittingly substitute the imaginary characters with herself and Matthew instead. Those fantasies had been tormenting her, and they’d become worse in his presence.

Now that Matthew was right in front of her, she couldn’t bring herself to look him in the eyes directly. The image of them both enveloped in each other’s arms passionately, feeling one another’s hot breaths and heartbeat, would resurface every time she looked at him.
