You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 143


    rissa pouted unhappily, confirming his earlier guess.


    Matthew ran a hand over her back tofort her and chortled.


    “Do you still need me to deal with the fish?”


    rissa giggled along with him and rubbed her cheek against his chest affectionately.


    “Back then, after my dad died and my mom left us, Uncle Jacob didn’t want to take care of Grandma


    and me. Aunt Gloria dared not defy his wishes. I don’t mind, but she’s Grandma’s daughter. How could


    they abandon her?”


    Back then, they had to struggle to survive.


    rissa remembered how her grandmother took care of her. They cut off ties with Gloria’s family.


    Gloria would only show up with some food during holidays and such.


    The reason rissa despised Gloria was because thetter refused to take care of her own mother.


    After that, life got better, and they even bought a new house. Gloria and her family kept showing up in


    an attempt to mend their rtionship, but rissa had never weed them.


    As Catherine only had a daughter left, she had no choice but to allow them to visit her grandmother.


    Even so, rissa refused to treat them nicely.


    After listening to her exnation, Matthew felt sorry for her.


    Previously, Ellie told him how rissa was brought up by her grandmother. Thetter had experienced


    many tough situations in life, so there was a w in her character.


    He didn’t really believe Ellie until they had a fight and broke upter. Matthew finally understood why


    rissa reacted that way.


    Even so, he felt his heart shattering into a million pieces when she told him her story.


    She went over her experience briefly, but Matthew could imagine how much trouble she and Catherine


    had gone through back then.


    I wonder how they managed to survive.


    Matthew tightened his arms around her and nted a kiss on her hair.


    Suddenly, someone barged into the kitchen. Matthew and rissa hurriedly jumped apart.


    “re, Matthew,” the unwanted visitor greeted them with a grin. “My mom told me toe help you.”


    It was rissa’s cousin, who was still in high school. The young girl had put on thick makeup, so she


    didn’t look like a teenager. Her clothes were revealing as well.


    Even though she imed to be here to help them out, her gaze was fixated on Matthew.


    “Mimi Lester, if you’re here to help, we’ll leave. You can take over.”


    rissa wasn’t about to talk to her cousin nicely.


    Mimi snorted and stepped forward to grab Matthew’s arm, but the man swerved out of her reach.


    “Hey, Matthew. Don’t bother re when she’s cooking. You should head out. We can’t let our guests


    cook, can we? By the way, I heard you’re from D City. I’m nning to enroll in the art college there. Do


    you have…”


    Mimi’s enthusiasm annoyed rissa immensely.


    She stood in front of Mimi and dered icily, “Get out!”


    “re, what are you doing?” Mimi whined.


    rissa continued ring at her angrily until Mimi pouted and left the kitchen reluctantly.


    As she walked out, she grumbled silently.


    Matthew caressed rissa’s cheek gently and kissed the corner of her lips.


    “Darling, don’t be mad. It’s not worth getting mad at someone like her, hmm? You have your grandma


    and your Uncle Matthew, right?”


    rissa smiled at his words.


    She shot him a coy nce. “Mind your words. What if Grandma hears you?”


    Uncle Matthew? Hmph!


    That’s how I call him in private. If Grandma overhears him, that will be so embarrassing!


    Immediately, the tension in the kitchen was lifted.


    Meanwhile, in the living room, the Lesters and Catherine were engaged in polite conversation.


    “Mom, is ry’s boyfriend from D City? Does he have a house in D City? He looks handsome. Is he


    reliable? ry is rich. What if he tries to trick her?”


    “Mom, that’s utter nonsense. Matthew seems like a fine man. He’s a gentleman!”


    “Hey, shut up when the adults are talking.”


    Mimi’s father, Jacob Lester, sat aside and smoked without a word.


    Catherine replied coolly, “Matthew is from D City. It doesn’t matter whether he has a house as long as


    he’s a nice man. Besides, who told you ry is rich?”


    “Mom, I’m your daughter. You don’t have to hide it from me. I know ry paid for this house in full. You


    also told the old neighbors ry earned so much and would be able to survive even if she stops


    working now. Of course, she’s rich. Mimi also told me about the novels she wrote. Most authors are


    rich.”


    Immediately, Catherine regretted boasting about her granddaughter in front of her friends. But she did


    that to find a boyfriend for rissa.


    I didn’t know Gloria would find out about that.


    “Even if she’s rich, she spent it all on the house. She doesn’t have any money now.”


    As Catherine insisted rissa had spent all her money, Gloria’s lips twitched and stopped pressing


    on. Well, I still think she’s rich.


    But judging from how she treats us, she might not agree to lend us money.


    After bringing the dishes to the table, rissa didn’t kick the Lesters out.


    She was in a good mood as Matthew was present.


    However, the Lesters couldn’t rx on the dining table.


    It wasn’t because of rissa’s unweing gesture; it was because of her boyfriend.


    When he swept his gaze across them, all they wanted to do was to escape at once.


    He looks scary.


    Luckily, Matthew didn’t keep staring at them. He helped rissa with the shrimps and removed the


    thorns in the fish for Catherine. Gradually, the Lesters rxed. He seems like a nice man.


    “Matt, you adore re, huh? My mom said you’re from D City, right? What do your parents work as?


    Which area are you staying in? What is your job?”


    “That’s none of your business,” Catherine interrupted bluntly. “Just eat.”


    Gloria stopped, feeling humiliated by her mother’s rebuke.


    Jacob spoke up. “Yes, stop asking. Matt,e, let’s drink. If ry’s father is still alive, he’ll drink with


    you, too.”


    Matthew had no choice but to clink sses with him.

    rissa didn’t stop him and chatted with her grandmother over dinner.


    “re, I’ll head to D City to attend the college entrance test soon. Can I visit Matthew there? Oh, can I


    stay at his house?”


    “Yes, that sounds great. We were worried as Mimi has to go to D City alone. As Matt lives in D City, he


    can take care of her. Matt, thanks for your help.”


    Matthew grunted in acknowledgement and didn’t reject them immediately.


    rissa expression darkened, but she said nothing.


    It was Catherine who voiced out. “There are plenty of people taking the exam. Do they all have


    rtives in D City? Mimi is taking the test with her friends, right? Where will her friends be staying


    then? Don’t trouble Matthew. He’s busy with work.”


    “Grandma, my friends are staying at the hotel with their parents. I want to join them, but Mom and Dad


    are busy, so they won’t be joining me in D City. They won’t allow me to stay in the hotel alone. As


    Matthew lives there, I can stay with him. Matthew, can you take me in for a few days?”


    Mimi gazed at him expectantly.


    She was sure he wouldn’t reject her request.


    After all, she was still rissa’s underaged cousin. He won’t say no to me.


    Matthew parted his lips to reply, but rissa cut in. “I’m also in D City. Why would you need to go to


    Matthew? I can stay with you at the hotel.”


    “Why would you be in D City?”


    “Ha! My boyfriend is in D City. Why would I remain here?”


    “Oh, okay. There’s no need to stay in a hotel. I can join you and Matthew to save some money—”


    “Matthew doesn’t have a house. He shares a ce with his colleagues. You want to join them?”


    “Huh?”


    The Lesters were shocked to hear that. They gazed at rissa suspiciously.


    Gloria chuckled. “ry, are you joking? Matt lives in D City. How could he not have a house under his


    name?”


    “He doesn’t. If Mimi wants toe, she has to stay with me.”


    “Well, that works. As long as there’s someone to take care of her. Mimi, remember not to trouble ry,


    alright?”


    Mimi nodded reluctantly.


    She shot Matthew a disdainful stare.


    She might despise him, but he was still a hunk. What a pity. He’s just a kept man.


    Mom told me re wants to marry someone who’ll take herst name. Well, if the kept man is as


    handsome as him, that’ll do.


    I’m not as foolish as her, though.


    Soon, she looked away. Her attention was focused on her phone during dinner.


    Both Gloria and Jacob stopped talking to Matthew.


    After dinner, Mimi left to meet up with her friends. Jacob and Gloria remained to talk to Catherine. To


    stay away from them, rissa brought Matthew to her room.


    In the room, Matthew sat on a chair while rissa sat in hisp.


    Wrapping her arms around his neck, she straddled him and trailed kisses from his cheek down to his


    lips.


    shing a seductive smile, she asked, “Uncle Matthew, are you mad at what I said about you?”


    After hearing what she said about him, the Lester family thought he was a loser.


    Matthew pinched her cheeks in amusement.


    “Nope. But your Uncle Jacob said you want your husband to take yourst name? Do I fit your


    requirements?”


    rissa’s lips twitched helplessly. Why is he asking that?
