You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 51


    “You…”


    rissa took a step backward. But she did not expect to step on an obstacle, so she fell in terror.


    Luke stood there watching her fell but he was disappointed by the oue.


    rissa ended up falling into a firm embrace. As a reflex, she lifted her head in shock.


    At that, Luke’s face turned pale and he took a few steps back.


    Matthew walked out of the shadows to catch rissa from falling. His palms were supporting her waist.


    She could see his grim expression and darkened gaze up close.


    “Luke, how do you n to get my woman?”


    Dissatisfaction shed across Luke’s eyes. He was acting all and mighty as if he was not afraid of


    anyone earlier.


    But when Matthew stood before him, he had to admit that he was terrified of the former.


    “You’re hearing things, Mr. Tyson. I was just joking.”


    “Is that so?” Matthew said in a deep voice and cocked his brows. Every word he uttered was a warning.


    “Luke, I had met your father yesterday. The person beside him, Morris, is an excellent man. I like him.”


    rissa did not understand his words. But Luke gritted his teeth after hearing that.


    Morris was the illegitimate son of his father, and he favored him. Thepany was still in the hand of


    his old man. By right, Luke was supposed to be the heir. But Morris helped to manage thepany at


    the moment. With his outstanding performance, he won the support of many.


    Matthew was putting pressure on Luke and attacked him in his weak spot. As a result, he could only


    gnash his teeth without expressing his pain.


    Luke grimaced in anger. “Mr. Tyson, I’m sorry.”


    rissa had a strong urge to p his face.


    Apologizing now, are we? Spineless man!


    Matthew contemted and uttered, “Luke, don’t make me warn you for the third time.”


    This was the second time he forced rissa against her will, including the previous one.


    “Yes, Mr. Tyson. I got it.”


    Following that, Luke fled from the scene miserably. rissa sighed regretfully that made his escape


    like a humble servant. But she had forgotten that she was in Matthew’s arms.


    By the time she regained her senses, Matthew had pushed her into his car.


    “You…” she stammered as she was at a loss for words.


    It seems like I can’t say anything other than express my gratitude.


    Matthew had a cold and gloomy look—true to Luke’s description.


    rissa was feeling a little uneasy as she sat beside him. She was undecided about giving him a


    proper exnation.


    If I don’t exin, won’t he think that I was the one calling for the date? But what will he think about me


    meeting up with Luke? But, I don’t want him to have any misunderstanding.


    She did not probe into the reason behind having thoughts like that in her mind. Perhaps she dared not


    admit the little secret she buried deep inside her heart.


    Eventually, she exined, “Thepany of my mother’s husband is nning to coborate with the


    Harrisons. Luke used that to ask me out for a dinner date. I only agreed because my mother begged


    me to. We just had a meal. That’s all there is to it.”


    Matthew remained motionless and expressionless.


    rissa heaved a sigh quietly and felt a bit frustrated.


    The ominous silence in the car caused her to feel suffocated.


    Right after they arrived at Zen Hignds. Matthew got out of the car speedily. Then, he clutched her


    wrist and dragged her into the house.


    “Ouch…” rissa endured the pain.


    After entering the house, Matthew threw her to the sofa.


    She plonked on it while rubbing her wrist. Her brows knitted together in displeasure.


    With a stern expression, he tugged his cor and loomed over her. There was no warmth in his eyes.


    rissa raised her head in an instant, then lowered it again.


    “rissa Quigley!”


    Hearing him addressed her in full name, rissa could tell that he was enraged through his tone.


    At that, she covered her head with her arms and retracted her neck. She dared not face the infuriated


    Matthew and also afraid of getting hit by him.


    After a long while, she did not hear him say a word.


    So, she raised her eyes carefully and was met with his dark gaze. Then, she immediately retracted


    them.


    “You…”


    Matthew’s anger dissipated after seeing what she did.


    He pursed his lips, snorted and sat on the sofa.


    “You fool!”


    Alright. I can still ept a scolding like this. At least he did not unleash his fury.


    Matthew took a cigarette and lit it up in irritation, trying to calm the burning rage.


    After taking a puff, he blew out a circle of smoke and narrowed his eyes.


    “What are you posing in this silly position for?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    rissa bit her lips and put her arms down slowly. An awkward smile was yed on her face.


    She started rubbing her wrist and Matthew noticed that.


    Without warning, he pulled her hand over to look at the finger marks on her wrist. After that, he


    messaged that area with his fingertips.


    As expected, he did not apologize to her.


    “It’s okay. I’m fine now. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”


    rissa wanted to retract her hand but was unable to do so. Hence, she allowed him to message her


    wrist as he pleased.


    Right then, she began to justify herself after being called a fool.


    “Actually, I did not meet him unprepared. I actually brought a Taser with me. If he dares to paw on me, I


    will not hesitate to assault him. Besides, I think he was just trying to scare me. After all, he knows that


    Ellie is my best friend and she warned him not to do anything stupid before. His words were just empty


    threats. I suppose he won’t actually try anything funny—Ouch…”


    rissa’s wrist felt hurt from his grasp.


    She frowned and looked at Matthew, who had a gloomy expression. Then, he said in a cold tone, “He


    won’t try anything funny? Are you kidding me? rissa, what do you take men for?”


    Instantly, he threw the cigarette butt away. Following that, he gripped her wrists and pulled them over


    her head while leaning forward against her body, trapping her on the sofa. She could not move an inch


    as all her limbs were restrained.


    She could see how angry he was through the expression on his face.


    “You suppose? Did you know how dumb it sounded like? Just like this…”


    “I’m—Mm…”


    Her mouth was covered and could not let a word out of it. Her body felt feeble after struggling to break


    free from his grip.


    Matthew had the intention to punish her. His actions were rough, aggressive, and merciless.


    She waspletely at his mercy.


    Her body felt chilly after her clothes were ripped apart. Matthew’s movements became increasingly


    unrestrained, as though he was about to eat her up.


    rissa’s body trembled in dread. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she was resisting him.


    Suddenly, Matthew halted his movements and lifted his head to stare to the weeping woman.


    “Are you scared now?”


    “Boohoo…”


    Matthew pulled her up to sit on the sofa, then wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes. His


    expression remained calm as usual. However, his heart was full of warmth and helplessness.


    “Do you think Luke will stop like I did just because you cry? Do you think every man has self-control like


    me?”


    rissa just sobbed without answering his question.


    A gleam shed across Matthew’s eyes, and he pulled her into his arms while patting her on the back


    awkwardly.


    “Remember, stay away from men.”


    At his words, rissa pushed him away with all her might. Her eyes were still watery as she stared at


    him and said, “You are a man too.”


    Matthew did not know what to say.


    He pursed his lips and smiled.


    “Oh. Turning your back on me now, huh?”


    rissa wiped the tears off with the back of her hand and retorted, “Isn’t it true? What you did to me


    just now was not something kind.”


    “Hah! You are only remembering this? What about the times when I rescued you?”


    “Thank you,” she uttered in an insincere tone.


    Matthew had expected that she would be ungrateful toward him.


    “You’d better—”


    Before he could finish his sentence, rissa’s phone rang.


    After rummaging through her bag, she took out her cellphone and answered the call.


    “ry, are you having dinner with Mr. Harrison? You won’t be going back tonight, right?”


    “Why? Do you not want me to go back?” rissa answered in an icy tone.


    Hry hurriedly toned down the excitement in her voice and exined, “No. I thought that you have a


    good rtionship with Mr. Harrison. It’s just a casual question.”


    “Do I even have a good rtionship with him? My goodness! We went on our separate ways after


    dinner. I’m at a friend’s ce currently. I’ve fulfilled my promise to you. Whether Luke ns to give you


    the project has nothing to do with me anymore. Even if Zach is incapable, I can only help him once. But


    do I have to save his ass every time? If so, he might as well dere bankruptcy now. If he is a


    resourceful man, he won’t need my intervention.”


    “No, ry. Putting this aside, I actually thought that Mr. Harrison is a nice guy. Besides, he is interested


    in you. Why don’t you date him?”


    rissa clenched her fingers on her cellphone as if she was holding her back from losing her cool.


    Matthew frowned slightly as he was displeased to see her feeling upset.


    “Mom. Don’t tell me you don’t know anything about Luke Harrison’s reputation after staying in D City for


    so long. I don’t buy that. Now, you are asking me to date him? You are basically sending your biological


    daughter off to please a scum and let him do as he wishes. Sometimes you make me doubt if you’re


    my birth mother. Or maybe you just don’t care about me?”


    Hry’s heart sank at her words. “No, ry. It’s all a misunderstanding. I’m just—”


    “You know better than me if it is indeed a misunderstanding. I’m not sure if you love me or not. But,


    please at least have basic virtue as a mother.”


    With that, she ended the call with her back against Matthew while standing on that spot.


    Matthew hugged her behind out of the blue. With a gentle voice, he whispered into her ear, “re.”


    rissa removed his arms, turned around, and said nonchntly, “Stay away from me, you are a


    man!”


    Matthew was bereft of speech.


    Within seconds, rissa took her handbag, tidied her disheveled clothes emotionlessly, and prepared


    to leave.


    However, Matthew pulled her back into his embrace. He wrapped his arms across her body, lowered


    his head and let out a smirk.


    “Correction. Stay away from men. But it does not include your man, who is me.”
