You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

The moment Clarissa hung up the phone, the enthusiasm on her face faded away.

She threw herself into Matthew’s embrace like a little girl.

Then, she yawned with her hand over her mouth, looking exhausted as though she just came back from a war. As she thought of the reason she was so tired, she could not help but pinch Matthew’s arm to vent her anger.

“It’s all your fault.”

By that time of the day, she was still feeling dizzy. How I wish I could get back to sleep right now. But I need to get home this afternoon, so I must book the flight.

Matthew was stroking her face gently with his big hand while trying to comfort her.

“Get some more sleep.”

Ignoring his suggestion, she reached out for her phone. After setting the alarm, she started searching for the next flight. Just when she was about to complete her booking, Matthew snatched her phone away.

“Are you really leaving today?”

Clarissa replied languidly, “Yup, I’ve promised my darling.”

His lips twitched. “So he’s your darling, and I’m not?”

Looks like someone’s jealous.

The corners of Clarissa’s lips drooped to form a frown as she snatched back her phone. “Don’t be such a child. I have to keep my promise. He’s expecting me to be back by today, so I can’t let him down. Besides, he’s more important than you.”

At that instant, Matthew was lost for words.

Holding her tightly in his arms, Matthew let out a long sigh as he realized his domineering charisma was starting to lose its effect on this woman.

She obviously cares more about the little guy than me. Matthew had not expected that one day, he would have to compete with another guy for her. And there was no doubt that he was the loser in this competition.

“Clarissa!”

The look in his eyes grew cold and grim.

However, Clarissa ignored him completely while she went on to book her flight. After that, she set the alarm and jumped right into her nap.

Matthew was beyond exasperated by her attitude, but he could only watch as she dozed off in a blink of an eye.

Forget it. At least I can still feel her in my arms right now. This is way better than those days when I could only meet her in my imagination.

Matthew hugged Clarissa tightly and slowly drifted into sleep as well.

A few hours later, the alarm rang. But before it could wake Clarissa up, Matthew jolted out of bed and swiftly turned it off.

Staring at Clarissa, who was still sound asleep, Matthew let out a cunning smile. He left a gentle kiss on her forehead while he pulled out his arm from under her head. Without making any sound, he got out of the bed and headed into the bathroom.
