You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Any man who witnessed this would not only see the woman’s true character, but it would also stir up the man’s competitive spirit.

At that, Johnny pushed Jolene away and shot her a warning look.

Only then did Jolene pull herself together and move away, but her eyes remained on Matthew.

Johnny stood before Matthew, trying to challenge the latter’s air of superiority, but the difference was just too obvious.

He could not help but feel angry.

As for Matthew, his cold gaze did not rest long on anyone but shifted to the sullen Clarissa.

“Clare… I’m here to fetch you home.”

Clare?

Who is this man calling?

As everyone watched in shocked amazement, he walked to Clarissa, stretched out his hand, and held them.

Clarissa did not object. In such a situation, Clarissa would not show her temper. Or maybe, one should put it this way—perhaps Matthew had foreseen that, under such circumstances, she would not reject his advances.

“Okay.”

She smiled simply and looked at the teachers.

“Everyone, this is my husband. We are leaving now because our kid is still at home. I’ll come back to pay you all a visit sometime soon.”

“Oh, alright. Get along then.”

Craig had seen Matthew’s photos on the internet before. Now that he had seen Matthew in person, he could feel that Matthew was an outstanding man—one that had surpassed Craig’s expectations, and he felt excited to see Matthew.

Matthew showed respect to the three teachers by shaking each one’s hand and greeting them before he left.

Meanwhile, the rest of them were at a loss for words while they stared in shock at Clarissa and her husband.

As they were leaving, Jolene suddenly grabbed Clarissa’s arm.

Clarissa turned around and was alarmed by Jolene’s warm smile.

“Clarissa, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Since your husband came, you should sit down together with us. It’s such a rare opportunity that you have brought your family members. For so many years, we’ve been classmates, so wouldn’t it be such a pity if you don’t introduce them?”

Clarissa looked at Jolene as if the latter was crazy.

She pulled back her arm and said coldly, “No, it wouldn’t. After all, I have no reasons to do so.”

“Clarissa, look at you! Does your husband know how you’ve been behaving?”

At that, Jolene looked at Matthew hopefully, but he only had eyes for Clarissa.
