You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 144


    “Matthew, that’s not it.”


    rissa retorted with a smile. “Even if I allowed you toe to my house, that doesn’t mean I’ll marry


    you.”


    “Your family has epted me, so we can get married soon,” Matthew insisted.


    He pressed his lips against her forehead and whispered, “re, I might not be able to take yourst


    name, but if you wish, we can bring Grandma to D City. She can stay with us. That way, we can take


    care of her together. You won’t have to worry her after that.”


    It was obvious why she wanted to marry someone who’d take herst name.


    It was because she wanted to take care of Catherine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to do so.


    As Matthew understood her, he decided to grant her wish. They could take care of Catherine together.


    rissa hugged him tightly, her heart bursting with gratitude.


    That would be a decision to make after she got married. Right now, she wasn’t confident that they’d get


    married.


    Of course, she dared not express her thought out loud.


    “We’ll see how things go. Jenny takes care of her, and I’m often at home. There’s no need to take


    things so far.”


    “Often at home? What about me?”


    rissa chuckled softly and looked up at him. “Then, I’ll slowly move over to D City.”


    That’s more like it.


    A smirk flitted across Matthew’s lips while his gaze darkened.


    They were in rissa’s room, which smelled like her. The air was sweet and romantic.


    As Matthew was in his girlfriend’s room, he couldn’t keep his emotions in check.


    Lifting her chin up, he brushed his lips across hers affectionately.


    “Get out! Now!”


    Suddenly, Catherine’s yell sounded from the living room. rissa shivered in shock and left Matthew’s


    arm. They walked out of her room swiftly.


    Gloria was groveling by Catherine’s feet while sobbing pitifully.


    “What are you doing?” rissa demanded angrily.


    She dashed over and nced at her grandmother in concern.


    “Grandma, are you alright? Did they hurt you?”


    “ry, what are you talking about?” Jacob eximed.


    Immediately, Matthew’s head swiveled as he gazed at Jacob sharply. Upon meeting his gaze, Jacob’s


    lips twitched before he sat down without a word.


    Meanwhile, Catherine was ordering her daughter to leave.


    “Leave right now. I don’t want you here. ry doesn’t have any money. I know what you want. You


    won’t get it from me!”


    rissa immediately understood the family’s vile intentions.


    Oh, so they are here for money.


    Why would they need money though?


    rissa didn’t press on and helped Catherine up. “Grandma, I’ll take you back to your room.”


    “Mom! I’m your daughter! ry, I’m your Aunt Gloria. Will you please help us?”


    They ignored her pleas and returned to the room.


    After a long silence, rissa heard the door m shut. The couple had finally given up and left.


    “Matthew, I’m sorry you had to see that.”


    Catherine sighed, feeling embarrassed at what had happened.


    After all, one shouldn’t wash one’s dirtyundry in public. It was Matthew’s first time at her house, so


    the olddy felt humiliated that he had to see that.


    rissa didn’t seem to mind that Matthew had witnessed everything. “Grandma, what did Aunt Gloria


    say? Did they ask you for money?”


    “It’s nothing. Let’s not talk about it. I’m fine. You should bring Matthew downstairs for a stroll. Go along.”


    She shooed them out.


    Clearly, she didn’t wish to borate.


    Matthew understood at once. Perhaps she didn’t want to exin in front of me.


    rissa frowned unhappily. She was about to say something when Matthew dragged her out of the


    house.


    Downstairs, they held hands and strolled in the neighborhood. rissa was still in a foul mood, so she


    said nothing.


    After some time, Matthew stopped and ced his arms around her. “Your grandma refused to exin


    because I was there.”


    Realization dawned on rissa.


    She pouted and sighed.


    “She’s afraid you’d dislike our annoying rtives.”


    “No,” Matthew refuted. “She’s afraid I might dislike you because of those people.”


    rissa raised a brow in response.


    “Will you?” she asked.


    Matthew pinched her cheek lightly and gave her a quick kiss.


    “You’re pretty and adorable. Why would I dislike you?”


    rissa giggled at his words. Flinging her arms around him, she huffed coyly. He’s good at cheering


    me up.


    Their strollsted for thirty minutes before they returned home. When Catherine saw them, she


    beamed and went to prepare some fruits for them.


    Looks like she’s not upset anymore.


    rissa didn’t mention anything about her aunt’s family and chatted with her grandmother..

    Soon, it was bedtime for the olddy. Standing up, she told rissa, “re, bring your nket to my


    room. Give Matthew a new nket.” She turned to Matthew. “Matt, we don’t have extra rooms. You can


    sleep in re’s room tonight.”


    “Sure, no problem. Good night. I’ll return to my room now.”


    “Okay. If you need anything, just tell re.”


    Catherine returned to her room while rissa moved her nket out and tidied up her room. She was


    doing the finishing touches when Matthew pounced on her.


    She nearly yelled out in astonishment and stopped herself in time. By then, Matthew’s lips had already


    covered hers.


    “re,” he moaned in a deep voice.


    rissa promptly knew what he wanted.


    However, they were at her house. Her grandmother was here, too.


    She grabbed her clothes, which Matthew was about to rip off, and pleaded. “No. Grandma is waiting for


    me in her room.” Her cheeks were flushed.


    “Just a kiss, hmm? One kiss…” Matthew cajoled, his voice hoarse.


    Soon, rissa was lost in his kiss. Her body gradually went limp in his arms.


    “Ahem! Ahem!”


    Next door, Catherine’s cough brought rissa back to reality.


    She shoved Matthew away and pulled her clothes hastily. Her face was burning as she rose to her feet.


    Before she could leave, Matthew grabbed her arm.


    Turning back, she saw Matthew lying on her bed, his gaze dark with desire.


    There was no way she’d satisfy his desires right now.


    “Stop it. Let me go. Grandma heard everything,” she whispered.


    Matthew didn’t release her and continued gazing at her.


    rissa was speechless. If this goes on, I might cave in.


    She dered, “You won’t let me go? What will my grandma think of you?”


    Matthew jumped to his feet and released her. He even helped her tidied her clothes before kissing her


    forehead.


    “re, my good girl. Go back to your room and rest. Good night!”


    rissa was at a loss for words as Matthew brought her to the door calmly.


    She snickered and left.


    After entering Catherine’s room, she realized the olddy was still awake.


    At the sight of her granddaughter, Catherine muttered, “You’re not married to him yet.”


    rissa immediately blushed at her grandmother’s bluntment. She lowered her head and replied


    shyly, “I know. We didn’t do anything except talk.”


    “Mm. I know you young people are reckless. I won’t say anything as you know your limits.” She


    exhaled. “Just now, I couldn’t say anything as Matthew was there. Your Uncle Jacob and Aunt Gloria


    want to borrow some money to rent a shop. They don’t have any savings. Besides, Mimi is going to art


    college. Her tuition fees must be expensive.”


    Catherine couldn’t stop sighing at the mention of her only daughter.


    rissa changed into her pajamas before joining her in bed. “Do you want to lend them the money? If


    you do, go ahead.”


    “No.”


    Catherine was firm. “That’s your hard-earned money. I can’t give it to them. I might be old, but I’m not


    befuddled. Gloria and her husband can’t run a business. They failed at everything. Anyway, they won’t


    die. After all, they managed to survive all over the years. Let’s just ignore them. I’ve already told them


    you don’t have any money. Don’t tell anyone about your money, alright? Not even Matthew. Remember


    not to bber everything to him.”


    rissa chuckled. “Grandma, my money is nothing to Matthew. It isn’t even enough for him to pay for


    his car.”


    Catherine was surprised to hear that. Or rather, shocked.


    “You said he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. How wealthy is he? Is he a millionaire?”


    “Well, he isn’t a millionaire.” To the olddy, being a millionaire was already an amazing feat. “He’s


    richer than that. Anyway, you won’t be mad at me for hiding the truth from them, right?”


    “Why would I be mad? Your Aunt Gloria and her family are snobs. You did the right thing.” She paused.


    “But is Matthew that wealthy? If you marry him, what will his family think of you? What about his


    parents? Do they approve of you?”


    Catherine looked worried.


    rissa gave her a reassuring smile. “Grandma, we’re only seeing each other. Let’s worry about that


    later. Don’t worry and just go to bed. If things don’t work out, I’ll get a man who’s willing to take myst


    name, alright?”


    “Silly girl,” Catherine uttered in exasperation.


    It isn’t as simple as it seems.


    If ry doesn’t like Matthew, she wouldn’t have brought him home.


    Now that he’s here, it means she cares a lot for him. I know her well.
