You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 269

Clarissa’s question surprised Matthew. At least, she could tell from the expression on his face that he had not seen it coming.

And that was how Clarissa realized that Matthew did not share her thoughts.

The discovery put her at ease, but Matthew chose that time to speak.

“Clare, is that what you’ve been thinking about these past few days?”

He sounded cold.

Clarissa could sense the displeasure in his tone, as though telling her that all of her thoughts and troubles were foolish and insignificant.

In Matthew’s opinion, she was just being silly.

They were husband and wife and would remain a couple even if they were separated. How could she think that I will not wait for her?

Matthew’s hard jawlines tensed up even more, as though he was trying his best to restrain his anger.

“What were you thinking, Clare? I thought we were just having a couple’s quarrel these past few days, but you’re actually thinking about separation?”

His voice sounded stiff.

Gazing into his deep, dark eyes, Clarissa took a step back.

“I wasn’t thinking about that…”

Muffling her voice, she came up with a weak defense.

“You weren’t? Then, why have you assumed I can’t wait any longer? If that’s not suggesting a separation, then what’s it supposed to mean?”

Clarissa stammered, “I… I…”

She could not look Matthew in the eye. Bowing her head, she mumbled, “I’m just asking!”

Of course she would not admit that she had really been thinking along those lines.

Under Matthew’s stern gaze, she dared not admit it.

Matthew stared at Clarissa as she struggled with her guilty conscience. He briefly pursed his thin lips and opted to keep quiet.

Clarissa could feel the fiery, sharp gaze upon her. Her lips quivered and she finally spoke.

Because staying quiet would only make things worse.

“Okay, maybe I’m overthinking it. It’s just that… three years is a really long time.”

She could feel the tension in the air the moment she finished her sentence.

Damn, I’ve really done it this time.

Then, she made a feeble attempt to amend her mistake.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered an apology, but it came too late.

Matthew might not accept it.
