You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 45
Ouch, it hurts like hell!
It really hurts!
Despite the pain she felt, rissa still forced a smile on her face.
“Uncle Matthew, I’ve done my part. Can you let me go now?” she asked.
Matthew let out a sneer and held rissa’s chin with his fingers, forcing her to face him with no chance
of escape.
“You’re not allowed to speak such nonsense. What about the answer you promised me?” He pressured
her.
rissa felt a surge of anger that very instant. He’s still insisting for an answer?
How could he be so shameless?
“Matthew Tyson, what do you think I am?” she blew up and roared at him. “You think I’m that slutty? Let
me make it clear. I will never promise you anything in this lifetime.”
“This lifetime?” he challenged her in a calm tone. “My dear re, this lifetime is a long way to go. So
what if you do agree to me?”
“I won’t. If I do, I would have broken my word and I don’t consider myself a Quigley anymore,” she
retorted.
Wow, that’s toxic!
rissa felt like she had nothing to lose by being strict with herself and maintaining her dignity.
The grin on Matthew’s face widened as his dark eyes conveyed an ambiguous expression.
“We shall see,” he said.
“You don’t have to wait, because that day will nevere.” She pushed him away and walked straight
out of the room.
The only reason rissa slept on the same bed as Matthewst night was because she was in shock.
Tonight, she was not going to allow him to get close to her no matter what.
She asked Mrs. Lawson to arrange a separate bedroom for her, and she made sure she locked the
door so Matthew would not be able to sneak into her room in the middle of the night.
After locking the door, shey down on bed in peace, but she couldn’t seem to fall asleep.
Undoubtedly, something was bothering her.
This was the first time she had developed feelings for a guy, and before the rtionship had even
gotten serious, she found that he already had a fiancée. On top of that, he treated her with little respect
and dignity. However, rissa struggled to ept reality as she did not want to see Matthew in this
light.
Beneath thoseyers of emotional conflict, she was upset and angry at herself for not knowing better.
While pondering on these thoughts, she fell asleep unknowingly.
By the time she woke up, it was already bright outside.
She quickly packed up her things and left without eating breakfast or saying goodbye to Matthew.
Upon returning to the hotel, rissa decided to pay a visit to the hospital after all.
As soon as she entered the ward, Hry immediately grabbed the cup on her bedside table and flung it
towards her. Luckily, rissa managed to dodge in time, or else her skull would have cracked into two.
Without any hesitation, Hry unleashed her rage and cursed incessantly, “You stupid girl, where the
hell did you go? You never picked up any of my calls! Do you even see me as your mother anymore?
Or do you just wish for me to die earlier? You unfilial daughter! I’ll see you in court for abusing your
mother and I’ll make sure you get cklisted in your industry!”
rissa simply listened to her mother’s scolding without saying a word. After Hry finally stopped, she
took a seat next to her bed and maintained a calm expression.
“You don’t seem to be short of energy. I guess you have fully recovered. Okay, I’ll get you discharged
then, and I’ll go back to the old home,” said rissa.
“Stop! Who said you’re allowed to leave after this?!” Hry shouted. “I thought you were a good
daughter, but now it seems that I can’t count on you to do anything good for the Quigley family. You’ve
only taken care of me for a few days, and you’re already short on patience? If you take a step out of
this ward, I’ll jump out the window to show the world what an unfilial daughter you are!”
rissa smirked coldly.
“Why are you still trying to put on an act? You were the one who tricked me intoing to D City to
take care of you. Are you going to set me up on a blind date next and marry me off to someone you
choose? If I refuse, what would you do next? Drug me? Do you really think I’m that stupid? I won’t fall
for your tricks anymore.”
“What… what nonsense are you talking about?” Hry was caught off guard. She looked a little
flustered and embarrassed, but she still denied her daughter’s ims tantly.
The next moment, she put on a pitiful look and whimpered, “ry, that’s not true.”
“Then, what?” rissa demanded.
“ry, I’m getting older by the day, and I really want you by my side as I grow old. My approach may
be wrong, but my intention is sincere. Now that I’m aging, all I want is to spend my days with you, my
dear daughter. I thought you would be able to stay with me in D City as long as you agree to the
arranged marriage I n,” Hry exined.
rissa stared at Hry, whose eyes were full of tears by now, but she waspletely unmoved.
“You might need me, but Grandma needs me more,” she said.
“You can bring Grandma to D City too. I will not oppose that idea for sure. ry, I have wronged you a
lot when I was younger. Why don’t you give me a chance to make things right?” Hry sobbed.
“I don’t need you to make it up to me after all these years,” rissa snapped back.
“Do you really not care about me at all? I’m your mother!” Hry’s emotions spiraled uncontrobly.
“I will pay for your daily expenses and medical fees,” rissa said coldly.
“No… I don’t need your money. ry, please don’t leave me. I’m begging you as your mother,” Hry
pleaded.
Seeing that rissa was firm on leaving, she got out of bed and begged her while sobbing
uncontrobly. It was a pitiful sight.
Nevertheless, rissa remained unshaken as she prepared to leave the ward. Just as the door
opened, Hry unbuttoned her sleeves and showed rissa the scars on her arm out of desperation.
“ry, look. If you really go, I won’t be able to live anymore.”
rissa was taken aback. “What are you trying to show me?”
“These were caused by Zach—he hit me! When you disappeared the whole of yesterday, he took it out
his anger on me. I’m left with no other choice, ry. You may think that we’re in a happy rtionship,
but the truth is I’m terrified! Whenever he’s not in a good mood, he will hit me. I really don’t want to live
like this anymore…” Hry cried.
“Why don’t you divorce him?” asked rissa.
“When he’s not angry, he treats me really well. I’ve grown used to it after so many years. I——”Hry
retreated into her shell before she finished her sentence.
Nevertheless, rissa continued looking at her with inquiring eyes.
“Why do you insist on sending me on a blind date?” she questioned.
“It’s because… he ns on benefitting from your arranged marriage. I’ve told him that you’re not his
biological daughter but he doesn’t care. ry, it’s just a blind date. Why don’t you stay and see how it
goes first? If all these blind dates don’t work out, he will stop insisting and he won’t take it out on me
anymore. Please, I’m begging you.” Hry wept.
“You should sue him for domestic violence,” said rissa.
“I know, I know. Once I reach my limit, I will file for divorce. But as of now, I can’t do that yet. Why don’t
you help me out this time, ry? I promise there won’t be any danger involved. If you don’t feel safe, I
can go with you. Just show up to the blind date first. You can reject the match at the end, and Zach
won’t have anything to say,” Hry replied.
By now, rissa could not ignore the shocking scars on Hry’s arm.
She kept quiet, indicating that she agreed to her mother’s request. Hry then heaved a huge sigh of
relief and quickly brought her back into the ward to have a seat.
After rissa verbally expressed her consent to the blind date, Hry made arrangements for her
amodation. Then, they chatted about old times and brought up happy memories that they shared
with rissa’s biological father.
Later on, rissa met up with Ellie but did not disclose the real reason behind her trip to D City.
She only mentioned that she was back because her mother was sick.
She did not tell Ellie about the other two incidents with Luke and Matthew either. Since she would not
be meeting them again, she didn’t feel the need to disclose their earlier encounters.
However, it was a small world out there.
That night, when she was out partying with Ellie and Damon, she bumped into Luke unexpectedly.
Luke didn’t seem to be in a good mood at that time. Aggravated by thedy next to him, he pushed her
away violently, causing her to knock into rissa.
“What the hell are you doing? Don’t you have eyes?” Ellie shouted at Luke and hispanion while
she held onto rissa.
Luke’s sullen expression suddenly changed when he turned around and saw Ellie’s group.
Meanwhile, Damon asked anxiously, “re, are you alright?”
rissa shook her head, feeling upset that she was always prone to bad luck. That very moment, Luke
walked over and scanned Damon from head to toe.
Clearly, Ellie and Damon knew who he was.

Without sparing him any embarrassment, Ellie said, “Luke, if you’re here to hook up with girls, get a
room. Don’t make a fool of yourself out here.”
“No,” Luke retorted.
Noticing that rissa bowed down her head and looked rather withdrawn, he felt puzzled.
Damon then red back at Luke and said displeasingly, “What are you looking at, Luke? She is our
friend, not one of those girls you can simply hook up with.”
“Your friend?” Luke chuckled. “Since she’s your friend, why don’t you introduce her to me? I don’t mind
making a new friend. Come on, what’s her name?”
“Hi, I’m rissa Quigley,” rissa forced a smile and introduced herself.
Luke’s smile turned sinister when he caught a glimpse of the innocent glimmer in her eyes.
“Pleased to meet you, Ms. Quigley. I’m Luke Harrison,” he greeted her.
Damon sensed ill intent from Luke and quickly interrupted, “Alright, let’s go in.”
However, Luke insisted on following them. “It just so happens that I’m free tonight. Can I tag along?
Would that be okay with Ms. Quigley?” he asked.
“Don’t you have a femalepanion with you? Why would you want to follow us?” Ellie protested.
Luke turned to look at his femalepanion with a certain expression, and she left immediately. Then,
he spread his arms and said, “Well, can I follow you guys now?”
