You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 214

Clarrisa pointed out the problem from last night, but Matthew was not surprised.

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

Clarrisa pursed her lips and stared at Matthew in silence.

Matthew, on the other hand, lifted his head and responded with a gentle grin.

“Did you do that on purpose?”

“It’s about time, Clare.” It was as if he was trying to coax a child to accept a decision that he had already made.

Clarissa was tongue-tied, but she still gave him a wry smile and continued eating.

Neither did she agree nor reject his suggestion.

Matthew’s smile became even more pronounced.

“What do you think?” he still asked insistently.

Clarissa took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked into his eyes.

“Since you’ve already done it, what else can I say? Can you take it back?”

An awkward silence ensued after she threw out the question.

Clarissa was so embarrassed that she wished she could turn back in time and swallowed those words.

But it was too late.

She even tried hiding under the table after spewing those words, but that move had only deepened her embarrassment.

Matthew froze for a bit but responded with a chuckle.

Clarissa was too embarrassed to see him, so she decided to curl up under the table.

Instead of comforting her, Matthew burst into laughter. She was rather speechless at his reaction.

Clarissa was so bored that she started tapping her index finger on the ground, but all of a sudden, Matthew grabbed her finger and carried her into his arms.

“Oh, Clare.”

Matthew was still all smiles when he looked at her. Clarissa hid her face in his chest as she refused to have any eye contact with him.

She then pinched his waist as a punishment for teasing her but stopped when she began to feel heavy breathing above her head.

Matthew looked at her and smiled wryly.

He might be an invincible man, but he was also made of flesh and blood. The fact that the woman he loved pinched him so hard made the pain more difficult to endure.

Matthew gently pinched Clarissa’s chin, forcing her to look at him.

Clarissa pushed his hand away and covered her face with her hands while lowering her head. “Forget everything I said earlier. Just pretend that you didn’t hear anything.”

Matthew chuckled and played along. “All right then. As you wish.”

Clarissa finally lifted her head and looked at him. But upon seeing him smiling, she could not help but blush instantly.

“All right, stop it! Let’s eat.”

She turned around, walked away from him, and returned to her seat. Yet, Matthew still refused to look away. She gave in after letting out a sigh and decided to finish her meal as soon as possible.

After the meal, Clarissa looked at him and asked, “Don’t you have work today?”

Matthew grinned, held her hand, and walked her to the living room. He then tenderly caressed her hair and said in a deep voice, “I want to have a kid with you, Clare.”

Clarissa pouted and mumbled, “Okay…I didn’t say no”

Matthew’s mouth curled into a smile. He gave her a peck on the forehead and looked at her lovingly.

“Thank you, Clare,” Matthew expressed his gratitude very formally.

Clarissa looked at him and smiled. “Don’t thank me first. There’s no guaranteed success anyway. We should just let nature take its course, so don’t you dare rush me or give me pressure!”

“All right,” Matthew chuckled, “No pressure!”

Clarissa, too, responded with a chuckle. “Okay, stop the drama. Go to your office now. I still have some important things to do.”

Matthew raised his brows. “More important than spending time with me?”

Clarissa rolled her eyes at him. “All the shopping, okay?”

She then pushed her away and went upstairs to change. She was hoping he could give her a ride to Ellie’s studio.

Ellie had found a few helpers to help her out with the shopping carnival, and Clarissa was one of them. Not only was she impressed by the number of products Ellie sold during her live stream, but she was also taken aback by the spending power of the consumers.

The sales were so good that Clarissa had to stay and help her until midnight. If it were not for Matthew, who came to take Clarissa home, Ellie would not have let her go.

While they were on their way home, Clarissa showed Matthew what she had splurged on.

“I bought a lot of stuff too. Look, these are all discounted items. But come to think of it, I’m not even sure why I bought them in the first place. I’ve been a spendthrift, haven’t I?”

Matthew smiled and took a serious glance at her shopping list. “Do whatever that makes you happy. I’m pretty sure you’re not capable of emptying our family wealth, anyway.”

Clarrisa’s mouth twitched. “Fine. I know you’re filthy rich.”

“Not me alone. We’re both rich.”

That remark brought a smile to Clarissa’s face, especially after she had splurged on so many things.

She responded with a grin and kissed the corner of his mouth.

“You’re the best, Uncle Matthew. I love you.”

Matthew shook his head and laughed, “You’re so vain.”

Clarissa nodded and blinked. “Yup, I’m all about money and beauty. The only reason I’m with you is that you’re rich. Well, it’s too late for you to get rid of me now. I’ll shop till you drop!”

“All right. Don’t forget to shop for baby’s necessities too.”

That remark immediately rendered Clarissa speechless.

She pursed her lips and said, “Come on, give me a break, Mr. Tyson.”

“Have some faith in me, Clare.”

Err…

Instead of lingering on the same topic again, Clarissa decided to ignore him and let out a yawn.

She was genuinely exhausted as she had not stayed up late in a very long time.

Matthew knew she was tired, so he decided not to tease her anymore. He let her lean against his arm and sleep. After they had reached home, he helped her changed and tucked her in her bed.

Clarissa was aware of what he was doing, but she intentionally kept her eyes shut as she wanted to enjoy his service.

Once Matthew got into the bed, Clarissa rolled over to his side and slept with a smile on her face.

Ellie finally could take a breather after a few days of hard work. She took some time off and invited Clarissa to a beauty parlor.

While lying down on the beds and enjoying their massage, Ellie let out a sigh.

“It’s so true that the more money we earn, the harder we have to work!”

Clarissa gave her a smile. “Of course! Look at your Uncle Matt. People think he makes a lot of money, but they don’t see the efforts he put in and how busy he is. Even I feel so sorry for him.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Clare. We all know your life revolves around Uncle Matt now,” Ellie sneered.

Clarissa said, “Well, you can always go find yourself a man.”

“Excuse me? Look who’s giving me an attitude now.” Ellie gave her a stare. “Don’t you dare forget I was the one who brought you two together!”

“All right, all right. I’ll make sure I’ll announce this to the world on my wedding day, okay?”

“Damn you!”

Clarissa chuckled. “Relax! I’m just kidding. I’d for sure appreciate you for what you’ve done for us on our wedding day.”

“That’s better,” Ellie said, “Oh, so how’s the wedding going? What’s the plan?”

Clarissa could not help but giggle when she thought of the island wedding.

Ellie looked at her and knew something was on her mind. “So what is it? Stop laughing, and tell me now!”

Clarissa thought she might as well tell Ellie her wedding plan now.

“Are you serious?”

Ellie suddenly bounced up from bed and shocked both of the masseurs.

“Ms. Tyson, your mask…”

“Don’t talk to me about mask now.” Ellie waved her hand in the air and turned to Clarissa. “I didn’t know Uncle Matt can be so romantic. Damn it! I must get a man who can buy me an island too.”

Clarissa’s eyes brimmed with happiness.

Ellie lay down on the bed once again and continued, “You know, I always thought Uncle Matt was going to remain single for the rest of his life. I’m so surprised to know that he’s quite a romantic! He’s definitely crazy about you.”

“Hahaha…stop being so ridiculous.” Clarissa giggled once again.

“I’m not! You must be so happy about it. Go on, laugh it out.”

Clarissa was indeed thrilled, but the excitement had subsided since it was not a secret anymore.

Ellie continued asking Clarissa about the island, and she could not help but gasp repeatedly upon hearing all the details.

What they did not know was the masseurs overheard their conversation. They then went and spread the news to people in the beauty parlor.

The clients who frequented the beauty parlor were from the upper echelons of society, and Ellie was one of their regulars. They had no clue who Clarissa was at first but finally got to know her identity.

Ms. Ellie Tyson’s uncle, Mr. Matthew Tyson, is now dating Ms. Clarissa Quigley. He even bought her an island, they’re about to get married!

How romantic! The island must have cost a fortune!

The rumors about their relationship continued to spread like wildfire. While some were envious of Clarissa, some were jealous of her.

Even clients of the beauty parlor were aware of the relationship between Matthew and Clarissa.

From there, the wedding became the talk of the town. Soon, everyone found out Matthew Tyson from the Tyson Corporation was about to get married, and he had bought her fiancée an island.

It did not take the Tysons too long to find out about the wedding.
