You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 168


    After hanging up, rissa stood up and decided to return to W City.


    Instead of stopping her, Matthew followed her andforted her along the journey.


    Two hourster, they arrived at the house in W City.


    Pushing the door open, rissa rushed into the house to see Catherine and Jenny seated on the sofa.


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


    Catherine was stunned to see them. When she saw Matthew stepping in, she chided, “I’m fine. Why


    are you all here?”


    The caregiver replied, “I was the one who informed ry.”


    “re is concerned about you. It has been some time since myst visit, so I tagged along with her.”


    Catherine sighed. Matthew found out about our dirtyundry.


    “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’m her mother, so they won’t hurt me.”


    Catherine consoled rissa and patted her hand. After a while, she sighed guiltily.


    “re, Mimi stole all your stuff. I didn’t know they’d resort to such despicable means. I didn’t know the


    things were expensive. Jenny told me your bags and essories are worth thousands each. When I


    tried to reason with them, they denied taking it. re, I’m sorry. I was—”


    rissa interrupted her apology. “Grandma, these can be bought with money. I don’t mind as long as


    you’re safe.”


    “But they cost a lot of money. I feel bad.”


    Wrapping her arms around Catherine, rissa wiped off her tears andforted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll


    get them back.”


    “But what if they refused to admit it?”“


    “It’s fine. I have a n.”


    As Catherine had always trusted her granddaughter, she was relieved.


    She gazed at Matthew, feeling embarrassed.


    “You should’vee back alone. Why did you drag Matthew alone? He has to go to work tomorrow!”


    Catherine apologized immediately. “Matthew, sorry for making youe all the way here.”


    “It’s fine. re’s business is my business. I can’t remain in D City alone when you’re in trouble, can I?”


    “Sorry for all the trouble.”


    “Stop apologizing, Grandma. Go to bed. We shall talk tomorrow.”


    After persuading Catherine to go to bed, rissa heaved a sigh of relief.


    Matthew stretched his arms out and pulled her into his embrace. He pressed a kiss on her forehead.


    Gently, he said, “Your grandma is fine. Don’t worry. As long as she’s fine, nothing else matters.”


    “Mm, that I know. But I’m upset at how they treated Grandma. I shall demand an exnation


    tomorrow.”


    “Okay. I’lle along with you.”


    rissa shook her head and looked up, her lips pursed into a pout.


    “I don’t want you toe with me.”


    “Why not? I can be of help.”


    rissa shook her head stubbornly. “I’m going to fight. It might damage my reputation, so I don’t want


    you to see it.”


    Matthew chuckled and arched a brow. “Oh? Will it be ugly?”


    “Yes. I’m afraid I’ll no longer be your Miss Fairy after you see how ruthless I can be. You don’t have to


    come. I can handle it myself. Of course, if things spiral out of my control, I’ll ask for your help. But I


    don’t think that will happen.”


    Matthew’s mood elevated as he let out a chuckle. “Miss Fairy? You’re quite confident in yourself, huh?


    But re, I don’t see you as a fairy.”


    rissa promptly red at him and raised her voice. “What did you say?”


    Unfazed, Matthew repeated, “I said, I don’t see you as a fairy.”


    rissa’s lips thinned as she gritted her teeth unhappily.


    She glowered at Matthew, silently threatening him to change his mind or he shall die a horrible death.


    Matthew stood firm to his opinion and added, “You’re not a fairy to me. That’s because you’re a vixen,


    re.”


    rissa was rendered speechless.


    You’re such a seductive vixen! Suddenly, this sentence popped up in her mind.


    She smacked her lips at once.


    “I’m not a vixen. I’m a fairy!” she insisted. “Matthew, you’re wrong.”


    “Uh-huh. Really?”

    “Yes!”


    As rissa was adamant, Matthew grinned and acknowledged silently.


    “Alright. Fairy re, are you going to be a vixen during the fight tomorrow?”


    “Scram!”


    rissa gave him a forceful push and stood up to head to her room. When Matthew trailed behind her,


    she realized there was no extra room in the house for him.


    Suddenly, she shot him a beguiling smile. “Why don’t you sleep in my room? I can spend the night in


    the living room.”


    Matthew folded his arms and smirked. He said nothing, but his attitude and gaze showed what his


    intention was.


    rissa was scowling when the man picked her up and threw her onto the bed. She let out a tiny


    scream, but he covered her lips deftly and warned, “re, be careful. Your grandma might overhear


    us.”


    Frowning darkly, rissa dered, “Then stop messing around.”


    A corner of his mouth lifted against her lips. His breath puffed into her face.


    “I never mess around.”


    Kissing my girlfriend isn’t messing around. I’m doing this openly.


    As he muffled rissa’s grumbles with a kiss, she cursed silently. Isn’t this messing around?


    Nevertheless, Matthew stopped after giving her a kiss. Perhaps he was afraid Catherine might


    overhear them. Besides, he didn’t prepare any protection. After the kiss, they hugged each other and


    fell asleep.


    The next day, rissa left Catherine in the hands of Matthew and went to the Lesters’ house.


    It was early, so the Lesters were still asleep. She kept pressing on the doorbell and woke Gloria up


    rudely.


    “Who is it? It’s still damn early!”


    After opening the door and spotting rissa, Gloria cowered guiltily.


    rissa had only ever acted this way in front of her Aunt Gloria.


    Back then, Gloria and her family kicked Catherine and rissa out after getting the money left by her


    late father. After rissa earned enough money to live a better life, Gloria and her family shamelessly


    returned to reconcile their rtionship.


    On both asions, rissa was expressionless, but her gaze was deadly cold. Gloria suddenly


    recalled how the young rissa looked like she was going to murder someone back then.


    Terrified, she called for her husband.


    “Honey! ry is here! Honey…”


    It was toote. rissa had stepped into their house.


    The house wasn’t big, with a few pieces of furniture scattered around. Most importantly, it was filthy.


    rissa strode past the living room and entered Mimi’s room. Thetter was still sleeping soundly.


    Immediately, she saw her bags, essories, clothes, and shoes that the Lesters had stolen from her


    house strewn everywhere in Mimi’s room. How despicable. They took everything they saw.


    Carefully, rissa picked up her stuff and ced them into her bag. Jacob and Gloria rushed over and


    saw her action.


    “ry, what are you doing?” yelled Gloria.


    “I’m retrieving my own stuff.”


    Gloria’s yell woke Mimi up. The girl’s eyes fluttered open in a daze. The moment she saw rissa, she


    jolted awake at once. At the sight of rissa packing up her stuff, Mimi dashed over and grabbed them


    out of her hand.


    “What are you doing?”


    Calmly, rissa raised her eyebrow. “I’m taking what is mine.”


    “Yours?”


    Mimi retorted without hesitation. “They are mine. How could they be yours? Do you have evidence to


    prove they are yours? I bought them myself!”


    “You bought them yourself? With your own money?”


    Mimiughed smugly. “That’s none of your business. Anyway, I bought them myself. You entered our


    house without permission and tried to steal my stuff. Aren’t you afraid of being sent to jail? Ha! Leave


    while I’m being kind. Otherwise, I’ll call the cops.”


    Gloria was trembling in fear. Seeing how calm rissa was, she spoke, “ry, this might be a


    misunderstanding. Why would we take your stuff? You must’ve gotten it wrong. Recently, there is news


    about thieves breaking into empty houses nearby. The thieves must’ve stolen your stuff.”


    Grinning arrogantly, Mimi put on the ne and bracelets she had just taken from rissa. “re,


    don’t be jealous because I can afford to buy expensive stuff. You can buy them yourself. After all,


    you’re rich!”


    “You’re right.”


    Suddenly, rissa smirked. “Aunt Gloria, since it was a thief, I’ll call the cops.”


    The Lesters’ expression soured at her words. Jacob was about to say something when rissa added,


    “Oh, I forgot that I’ve already called the police before I came here. They should be arriving soon.”


    Speaking of the devil, the doorbell rang.


    rissa grinned, while Gloria and Mimi paled visibly.


    “ry, what is this? Do you think we’re the thieves? I’m your aunt and Mimi’s your cousin! How could


    you be so cruel?”


    “If you’re not the thieves, why would you be afraid? Uncle Jacob, won’t you open the door? If you don’t


    answer the door, the police might think you’ve robbed and murdered me.”


    Jacob red at rissa darkly before he went to answer the door.


    “No, honey. Don’t open the door!”


    “Dad…”


    The police were yelling by now because no one was answering the door.


    Left with no choice, Jacob opened the door. rissa came out and greeted the police. “Hello, sir. I was


    the one who made the report. Someone had stolen earlier my stuff totaling to a hundred thousand.”
