You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 42


    rissa froze up as uneasiness took over her body.


    “Quite a lively scene in here, isn’t it?”


    Jeremy spoke with a hint of disdain in his voice. He was rather amused by the position rissa and


    Luke were in.


    Luke had no idea why Jeremy showed up. Anyway, he felt even more threatened by the presence of


    the man in ck behind Jeremy.


    In an instant, all of Luke’s carnal desires died down.


    He noticed the man looking daggers at him and hurriedly got up. He went to them and simpered.


    “Mr. Smallwood, what brings you here? If I know you’re around, I’d have asked you to join us!”


    Jeremy’s lips curled up. His double-lidded eyes went to rissa.


    Luke noticed the movement in Jeremy’s eyes and thought that he was interested in rissa. “I picked


    up this girl from the streets. Just bring her with you if you like her. You don’t-”


    Jeremy gave Luke a polite smile that spelled out his rejection. “It’s fine. I don’t have the guts to fancy


    her. Luke, are you sure you picked her up from the streets? My my, you’re quite daring for saying that!”


    “What?”


    Jeremy snickered. Without giving Luke a response, he turned to look at rissa.


    “rissa, howe you’re here after you got into a fight with Matt?”


    All at that moment, everyone was astounded by Jeremy’s words. rissa raised from the sofa and


    went to Jeremy.


    Matthew’s grim eyes were locked onto rissa.


    He spat gruffly, “Let’s go!”


    rissa bit her lips and strode out of the ce without any resistance.


    After the two of them left, Luke didn’t dare to speak. However, Jeremy reached out andid his arm on


    Luke’s shoulder.


    He sneered and said, “Luke, do you not look up the background of the women you bring back? Thank


    god I spotted you earlier and came before you did anything else. If not, you might not live to see


    tomorrow’s dawn.”


    “Mr. Smallwood, it’s all a misunderstanding! I am wrong! By the way, who’s that guy with you?”


    “Pfft, even I have to pay my respects to that guy! You’re damn unlucky, dude.”


    Everyone was on tenterhooks. They wondered what kind of person the man in ck was if even


    Jeremy had to be scared of him.


    If rissa were around, she would rejoice at the sight of them finally cowering.


    Right now, Luke and his men were as antsy as rissa’s colleagues were earlier. It turned out that


    they too could be intimidated by someone with more power.


    Luke hurriedly exined out of trepidation, “Mr. Smallwood, I really have no idea who that girl is. She


    didn’t say anything!”


    “Oh, she said nothing, I see. But did shee with you out of her own free will?”


    Luke felt awkward. Both Jeremy and he knew that rissa was brought to the private lounge by force.


    Jeremy straightened his back. “Matt is probably busy consoling someone now, but that doesn’t mean


    he will let you off the hook. I say you better watch where you step next!”


    After speaking his words, Jeremy left. Pft, these people are going to have a sleepless night!


    rissa picked up her pace and followed behind Matthew into the elevator. Once the doors closed, the


    air in the elevator suddenly thinned out.


    rissa made an attempt to thank Matthew. “Thank you for saving me, Uncle Matthew!”


    Matthew didn’t reply to rissa and neither did he turn to look at her. rissa, who was already feeling


    awkward, to begin with, could only continue to sit with the ufortable silence in the enclosed space.


    Ding! The elevator’s doors slid open.


    rissa lowered her head and exited the elevator with Matthew. Only then did she realize that the


    elevator had gone up instead of going down to the ground floor.


    rissa halted in her steps when she noticed the rows of hotel rooms ahead.


    “Uncle Matthew, it’s already sote. You should rest well. I’ll take my leave now.”


    Before rissa could leave, she was hoisted into the air. By the time she came back to he senses, she


    realized her body was on Matthew’s shoulder. The edge of his shoulder was pressing against her


    stomach while her head was pointing towards the ground. With all the blood rushing to her head, she


    could feel her vision begin to tremble ufortably.


    “Hey, let me down! Matthew, what are you doing?”


    Without saying a word, Matthew opened the door to one of the hotel rooms with a kick and carried the


    woman to the bed.


    As rissa was about to get up, he abruptly dove into the bed and pinned her down by her arms. He


    locked her legs between his and held her chin. Then, his lips sank deeply into her ruby lips.


    “Mmph…”


    rissa tried to w her way out of the bed but no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. She


    could only feel the rage meter in her slowly rising.


    When Matthew’s tongue was drilling into her mouth, rissa had enough and bit hard.


    “Hiss…”


    Matthew drew a sharp breath and was forced to let go of rissa. However, his body was still on top of


    hers. His eyes met rissa’s scorching gaze, which expressed how vexed she was.


    As the metallic taste of blood suffused Matthew’s mouth, his eyes were intently fixated on rissa.


    “Matthew, you b*stard!”


    Tears came gushing out of rissa’s eyes like a waterfall.


    She didn’t make a lot of noise as she sobbed. The aggrieved expression on her face was very heart-


    wrenching.


    All of a sudden, Matthew could not gather his thoughts. He was flustered as he didn’t know how to deal


    with a crying woman.


    “Don’t cry.”


    Matthew meant to console rissa, but his words sounded like a harshmand instead.


    It only distressed rissa even more, and she wept with tears cascading down like a waterfall.


    Matthew sighed and turned over to let go of her. rissa sprawled on the bed, and for some reason,


    she was bawling with her face buried into the linens. Matthew furrowed his thick brows a little and


    extended his arm to move rissa into his arms.


    Hisrge palm patted her on her back to a steady rhythm.


    “Don’t cry.”


    “Boohoo… I don’t need you… to boss me around…”


    rissa’s wails were getting louder by the second. She was letting out all the pent-up stress and fear


    she had earlier that day.


    Matthew was at wits’ end. He decided to just let her cool down.


    He didn’t believe that rissa had the energy to cry the whole night.


    As Matthew had expected, rissa’s crying slowly came to a halt after she had vented her emotions.


    Only then did she realize that she was in Matthew’s arms. She hurriedly shoved him away and got off


    the bed. Without a word, she stomped in the direction of the exit.


    Matthew quickly caught up with her and blocked her from going further.


    He forced her up against the wall and asked, “Where are you going?”


    “That’s none of your business.”


    Matthew writhed his lips and scoffed. This youngdy has taken my kindness for weakness!


    I will not yield to her.


    Matthew clenched rissa’s dainty face tightly with his fingers and forced her to look into his dark, cold


    eyes.


    “None of my business? Then why didn’t you say so earlier in the private lounge?”


    rissa was suddenly at a loss for words to defend herself.


    “Tsk, why are you roaming around in the streets sote at night? You looking for guys to pick you up?”


    “That’s enough!”


    rissa howled in response to Matthew’s derisive remark.


    “Matthew Tyson, do you think your behavior just now is any different from them? Have I given you


    consent to touch me? Or to you, I’m just someone who can be harassed freely by anyone?”


    Matthew blinked and rissa stared back at him fearlessly.


    Then, rissa’s mood sunk to the bottom of her heart.


    “Bah, I don’t care whatever you have on your mind. Just let me go. I want to leave this ce.”


    Matthew remained silent for a moment.


    Eventually, he still let her go.


    But before rissa could scurry out of the room, Matthew grabbed her arm.


    “Let me send you off.”


    “No need for that.”


    “Let’s go.”


    rissa suddenly went into an outburst of anger.


    She bellowed at the top of her lungs, “Did I not make myself clear? I said there’s no need for that!”


    What ensued was a piece of deafening silence in the room.


    rissa didn’t dare to let herself get caught in Matthew’s surly eyes.


    Just as Matthew was still caught in a trance, she instantly shrugged off his hands and fled from the


    room.


    rissa hitched a taxi back to the hospital. Initially, she wanted to stay at the hotel for the night, but


    she figured she was too disconcerted to be alone.


    There were beds for visitors at the hospital. rissa decided to just spend the night in the hospital.


    Before entering the ward, she stood at the door to calm herself down. Only a whileter did she gently


    pushed the door open. She didn’t want to wake her sleeping mother.


    “Hubby, I’m really fine! I miss you so much! If I didn’t have to leave her at D City, I would have already


    checked out of the hospital… Yes, I understand. If you guys show up, she’ll definitely be suspicious. It’s


    okay… Alright, when things between us smooth out in a few days, I’ll set her up with someone once I


    get out of the hospital. Hopefully, I’ll find her someone she likes so she won’t run away again…”


    rissa froze at the spot. Her whole body was rock solid.


    Then, she quietly left the ce alone.


    Back there in front of the door of her mother’s ward, rissa nked out. She felt like an unwanted


    child.


    Behind her the lights were glimmering, but all she could see was the murky darkness ahead.


    She had no clue what to do now. Of all the unfortunate events that happened to her that day, her


    mother’s lies were the worst.


    She enwreathed herself with her arms and sat on the stairs. Even though it was a breezy night, she


    could feel herself being iced out.


    Matthew stood not far from her. The cigarette between his fingers was glowing softly. He wasn’t going


    to leave until rissa got up.


    Finally, Matthew sauntered to her.


    rissa raised her head slowly. She wasn’t really surprised to see Matthew.


    Her frail eyes were filled with sorrow and misery. She just stared nkly ahead with her lips sealed


    together.


    Matthew sighed and stubbed his cigarette before disposing of it.


    He leaned in to scoop her up. This time, rissa didn’t struggle at all. She obediently allowed Matthew


    to pick her up as if she was a meek, newborn kitten.

    The man brought the woman to his car.


    rissa remained silent and had her eyes shut the whole time. She looked pitiful in her fragile


    appearance.


    Matthew stroked her face and ordered the driver, “To Zen Hignds.”


    The driver stifled the shock in him and set the engine running in a hurry.


    The Zen Hignds was Matthew’s private space. Even if the Tysons wanted to visit there, they needed


    Matthew’s permission.


    Never once had any women not from the Tyson family enter the Zen Hignds before, not even


    Shermaine who was spected to be Matthew’s wife-to-be.
