You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa’s lips curved up.

“I’m not cold. We’re taking a car there, and the venue is well-heated.”

“Clare!”

As Matthew was being insistent, Clarissa explained, “I prepared this dress just for this event. This is too last minute. I don’t have other suitable outfits!”

“Why not? Your closet is full of clothes.”

Clarissa rolled her eyes in irritation and paid no heed to him.

She gazed at him defiantly.

Arching a brow, Matthew didn’t press on. Instead, he leaned over and planted hickeys on her neck and collarbone.

Immediately, Clarissa pushed him away. Yet, she was no match for him.

In the end, Matthew felt pleased to see the hickeys all over her fair skin. They were too obvious to ignore as her skin was as fair as snow.

Matthew knew how enticing she was.

The sight of her alluring figure only served to fuel his desire. His gaze darkened dangerously.

Clarissa hurriedly covered his eyes with her hands. “Stop!”

After removing her hands, Matthew pressed into her body and whispered, “Clare, let’s stay at home. It’s the weekend. We shouldn’t spend it with those annoying people. Why don’t we—”

“No. I’ll change my clothes now, okay?”

Clarissa gritted her teeth and gave in.

Disappointment showed on Matthew’s face. “Clare, you don’t have to change. There’s no need to attend that engagement party. Let’s stay at home and…”

Before he could finish, Clarissa had already dashed upstairs to change.

Soon, she came downstairs clad in a simple buttoned-up shirt and knitted knee-length skirt with a long coat outside. She was totally covered up from head to toe.

“Are you happy now?”

Matthew grinned. “Clare, you look good in anything!”

“Ha!”

Due to the delay, they were nearly late for the party.

It was a grand event. They had booked a huge banquet hall in the hotel for the party. Plenty of guests were milling around. There was a photo of the engaged couple by the door.

Clarissa took a glance at the man who was supposed to be from the Wynter family. Huh, he looks nothing like Damon.

The person who was collecting the gifts at the door took Clarissa’s cash gift and wrote her name down. She also sized Clarissa up.

Deep down, Clarissa was complaining silently.
