You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 87
Yuliana’s tone was unpleasant.
Thus, Matthias reminded in a solemn voice, “Not here. We can only say these things behind closed
doors.”
“Alright.”
In truth, both of them had no say in Matthew’s marriage.
The Smallwoods suggested marriage between their daughter and Matthew only because of the
friendship between both their families.
Unfortunately, Matthew showed no interest in Shermaine. If it was before, Yuliana would have helped
them, but since Matthew had already announced his stand in front of so many people, she dropped the
idea entirely, lest she incur his wrath.
After all, she was only his sister-inw, and it wouldn’t bode well if she dictated his marriage.
However, the Smallwoods were persistent. Indeed, one reason was because Shermaine harbored
strong feelings for Matthew, but another was because the Smallwoods themselves wanted to solidify
their rtionship with the Tysons.

If it were anyone else, an arranged marriage with Shermaine as the bride wouldn’t be much of an
issue.
However, the person in question was Matthew, and no one had the right to speak for him other than
himself.
The Smallwood couple arrived very soon. James Smallwood and Ka Smith were close friends with
Matthias and Yuliana for many years. Hence, it wasmon for them to meet up asionally.
Unfortunately, after the incident regarding Shermaine, their friendship had be slightly strained.
To make matters worse, Ka had a soft spot for her beloved daughter. Every time she talked about
Shermaine, she would air her grievances on thetter’s behalf.
“Do you know how much my daughter likes Matthew? She cried the whole night after he broke her
heart, and then she went for filming with swollen eyes the next day. Even though she didn’t say what
Matthew did, I know how deeply she feels about him. He’s the only one who could’ve made her like
this. Yuliana, isn’t Shermaine good enough for Matthew? Why is he treating her this way? Didn’t they
get along just finest time? Shermaine even thought that they’d get married soon, but things turned
out this way. Has Matthew had a change of heart?”
Yuliana had been at the mercy of Ka’s waterworks more times than she could count. Right now, she
truly had enough of it.
“Ka, we can only give a few pieces of advice to Matthew when ites to his private life. In the end,
he still has the final say. Let them settle it between themselves. Besides, Matthew also said before that
he only sees Shermaine as a friend; he doesn’t have any other feelings for her.”
Yuliana knew it would be bad if Matthew was wrongfully used of ying with their daughter’s
feelings.
Ka looked at them with disappointment and was about to say something when James cut her off.
“Yuliana is right. We shouldn’t interfere with their love lives. Besides, we’ve been friends for so many
years now, so we shouldn’t let something like thate in between us!”
Matthias nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Even if we don’t be inws, it won’t affect our long-term
friendship. Isn’t that right?”
James froze. What Matthias said hadpletely foiled their ns for inviting them here today.
…
Matthew had reserved a private lounge in advance, so since rissa had arrived first, she went in
alone.
After scrolling through her phone for a while, he finally showed up.
The moment he came in, she lowered her voice into a whisper and asked, “Did you see your brother
and sister-inw outside?”
Matthew raised his brows in response.
Only then did rissa exin, “I met them at the entrance just now. It was such a close call, and it
scared me to death.”
She took a sip of her drink to calm her nerves.
Matthew sat down and gave her azy smile. “Didn’t you meet them already?”
rissa gave him a sidelong re. “You know what I mean!”
“Haha… I don’t.”
She rolled her eyes and refused to entertain him, lowering her head to sip on her drink instead.
After Matthew ced their orders, he turned back to her. “I can take you to meet them if you want to.”
rissa was truly terrified now, shaking her head rapidly as she immediately refused his offer.
“No, no! I don’t!”
After expressing her refusal so vehemently, she noticed that his face had frosted over.
rissa’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly rified, “I-I mean, we just started dating, so it’s too soon
to meet the family.” She paused for a beat before blurting out, “I’m scared, okay?”
Silence ensued as Matthew said nothing to that. When the food was served, he finally spoke, “Eat up.”
rissa sent a ttering smile at him. “Uncle Matthew, you agree with what I said, right? Going public
too early might end up stifling our rtionship. You’re too important to me. I can’t bear to part with you.”
She giggled.
A smile yed on Matthew’s lips. “Really?”
“Yes. Yes, of course!”
rissa nodded enthusiastically in response, eager to prove herself.
Matthew’s eyes flickered, and a mystifying smile stretched across his mouth.
Words failed rissa when he pierced her with such an intense stare, so she bowed her head to eat
instead.
Later on, her excitement went into full swing again at the mention of her coboration with Justin. She
prattled on about it, and this was perhaps the most she had spoken. As she described her
screenwriting ideas to Matthew, it never once crossed her mind that it might bore him listening to her.
Fortunately, Matthew did not appear bored. He clung to every word she said, appreciating the way she
seemed to glow and steal his breath away time and again.
After both of them finished their meals, he held her hand and led her out. While they talked, Matthew’s
face lit up with a soft smile.
When James came out with the others, he happened to glimpse Matthew’s silhouette. Surprise filled
him and was about to hurry after the two of them, but they had already entered the elevator.
Sensing his hesitation, Ka walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
James shook his head, deciding to keep this matter a secret for now, since he wasn’tpletely
certain about what he saw.
Matthias and his wife didn’t mention about Matthew having a girlfriend just now. Perhaps they really
don’t know, or maybe they’re hiding it. No matter the reason, they’d never tell us about it.
Hence, James kept this matter from the two of them.
After both couples parted ways, Matthias revealed to his wife. “I saw Matthew just now.”
Yuliana was astonished. “Really?”
“Yeah. He was holding hands with a girl.”
“What?”
This was the biggest shock of all.
“Could you be mistaken?”
“No, I’m certain it was him. James probably saw him, too. This matter wasn’t a big deal in the
beginning. And now that Matthew has found himself a girlfriend, none of us have the right to intervene,
but the Smallwoods might get upset once they find out. As for his girlfriend, her identity undoubtedly
ys a key role in how things pan out.”
Yuliana was no fool, easily catching the meaning behind her husband’s words.
However, she shook her head after a split second. “It’s not thatplicated. Based on Matthew’s
assertive personality, once he’s sure about something, no one can change his mind. What can the
Smallwoods do? Are they going to force Matthew into marrying their daughter? I’m sure they know very
well what kind of person Matthew is.”
Matthiasughed. “Of course, Matthew will never allow anyone to manipte him. It’s just my father
who might pose a problem.”
Yuliana fell silent at that.
Indeed, this was a problem.
Matthew and rissa had just returned to Zen Hignds when Matthias called.
Seeing as rissa was still grumpy after being forcibly brought to Zen Hignds, Matthew pinched her
cheek affectionately before answering the call.
“Hey, Matthias.”
rissa immediately perked up as her eyes widened in rm. Flustered, she leaned closer to
Matthew, wanting to listen in on their conversation and find out whether they had been discovered at
the restaurant earlier.
Matthew smiled lopsidedly and yed with her hair while he spoke to his brother on the phone.
“Mm… Oh, you saw me?”
rissa was shocked to hear this. She leaned even closer to him. Faced with her dramatic facial
expressions, Matthew was greatly amused.
“What’s so funny?” rissa protested in a barely audible voice, but Matthias still caught it on the other
end of the line.
“So, it’s true.”
“Yes.” Matthew did not deny it.
“And you’re serious?”
“Mm.”
“When will you bring her home?”
Matthew nced at the hyperventtingdy beside him before replying, “Maybe after a while longer.”
“Alright. Just do as you see fit. You know very well how our parents are.”
After they ended the call, rissaunched herself at Matthew and stared at him with bulging eyes that
were filled with trepidation.
“Did your brother find out about us? He saw us, didn’t he?”
Matthew naturally curled his hand around her waist and answered, “Yes, he did.”
“Ahhhh… He really saw us?” rissa shrieked like a banshee.
As if the sky was falling. Panic overtook her body, and she iled her arms in Matthew’s embrace, her
mind inplete shambles.
He found her reaction adorable.
Unable to handle her cuteness any longer, he grasped her chin and sealed her lips.
rissa struggled for a while, to no avail. Only after she went limp from his passionate kiss was
Matthew willing to release her. Finally freed, she shot him a petnt re.
“That’s enough, Matthew! You’re still kissing me at a time like this? He knows! Oh God, your brother
knows! I’m doomed. Doomed! What must they think of me?”
Matthew had in fact omitted the truth—his brother did not see that it was rissa beside him.
He just enjoyed watching her get all flustered.
“Mm. Indeed, what must they think of you?”
“They probably think I used Ellie to get close to you, a-a-and that I seduced you! Maybe they even think
I’m trying to marry into your family because I’m after your money… Who am I kidding? Of course that’s
what they think!” she huffed with a sulky expression on her face.
Then she shoved Matthew away, her chest heaving slightly as her imagination ran wild.
As though she was convinced that the Tysons really thought of her this way, she was once again
overwhelmed by the unpleasant feeling of being misunderstood and cursed at.
It reminded her of the time when she was severely criticized online. It was something she did not want
to go through a second time.
Disappointment and despair washed over her, making her feel depressed.
Matthew sensed the turmoil in her. He immediately scooped her into his arms and patted her back
gently.
In a deep andforting voice, he cooed, “Are you that afraid? Well, don’t be. You have me, right?
Besides, didn’t you say that I was the shameless one who forced you into this? So why can’t you just
push it all onto me?”
It looks like she’s actually just a timid little girl.
