You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Matthew laughed out loud at the sight of Clarissa being so bold and stubborn.

She knows I’m right, yet she can still lie through her teeth with such resolve?

Matthew suddenly removed his hand from Clarissa’s mouth and flicked her forehead, causing her to flinch in pain and glare angrily at him.

Unfazed by her reaction, Matthew chuckled softly. After what Clarissa had put him through, he could no longer keep his stern expression.

“You little rascal.”

Clarissa frowned and retorted, “Who are you calling a rascal? Just so we’re clear, you’re the rascal here! Falsely accusing me and being so overly dramatic about it…”

Matthew leaned back into the couch and relaxed his body, watching Clarissa shamelessly denying everything.

“All right, I can’t out-talk you.”

He might have many tricks up his sleeves, but even he knew he was no match to Clarissa’s ability to twist the facts.

“Of course you can’t,” Clarissa replied smugly.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Clarissa realized she had made a mistake and quickly corrected herself. “No, it’s not that you can’t. You were unreasonable in the first place, so you were never going to be able to reason with me.”

Matthew cocked his brows and smirked. “Okay. So? What’s the difference?”

“Of course there is! And things weren’t what you made them out to be. Think about it. Can you blame me for caring about Damian, given the situation at the hospital? I admit I was afraid before you went in, but surely you can understand why I feel that way? You know the kind of attitude your family has toward me. But after you promised me that Damian would be safe, I let you take him, didn’t I? That was me trusting you. And that was a decision I did not, and still do not, regret. When you came back, I was so proud of Damian that I got a little more enthusiastic and rewarded him. After that, you changed to go to work, that’s all normal, isn’t it?”

“Normal? Ever since we left the hospital, till we got home and I changed to leave for work, have you ever looked at me?”

“Of course-”

“No!”

Clarissa was about to rebuke when she realized she was no longer that confident of herself.

Matthew’s right. I don’t think I paid any attention or even looked at him. I don’t even know what time he left.

“Okay… But I was busy playing with our son, wasn’t I?” Clarissa retorted, this time a lot softer and with a twinge of guilt.

“Oh yes… You sure were busy. If you carry on like that, I don’t think you’d need me anymore.”

“Haha… How can that be? I can’t have kids without you, can I?”

“Ah, right. I’m still useful for the time being because we want a daughter. After our second child, I can be tossed away like trash,” Matthew replied flatly.

Clarissa grinned sheepishly and shook her head. “No, no. That won’t be possible…”
