You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 257
The moment rissa hung up the phone, the enthusiasm on her face faded away.
She threw herself into Matthew’s embrace like a little girl.
Then, she yawned with her hand over her mouth, looking exhausted as though she just came back
from a war. As she thought of the reason she was so tired, she could not help but pinch Matthew’s arm
to vent her anger.
“It’s all your fault.”
By that time of the day, she was still feeling dizzy. How I wish I could get back to sleep right now. But I
need to get home this afternoon, so I must book the flight.
Matthew was stroking her face gently with his big hand while trying tofort her.
“Get some more sleep.”
Ignoring his suggestion, she reached out for her phone. After setting the rm, she started searching
for the next flight. Just when she was about toplete her booking, Matthew snatched her phone
away.
“Are you really leaving today?”
rissa repliednguidly, “Yup, I’ve promised my darling.”
His lips twitched. “So he’s your darling, and I’m not?”
Looks like someone’s jealous.
The corners of rissa’s lips drooped to form a frown as she snatched back her phone. “Don’t be such
a child. I have to keep my promise. He’s expecting me to be back by today, so I can’t let him down.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Besides, he’s more important than you.”
At that instant, Matthew was lost for words.
Holding her tightly in his arms, Matthew let out a long sigh as he realized his domineering charisma
was starting to lose its effect on this woman.
She obviously cares more about the little guy than me. Matthew had not expected that one day, he
would have topete with another guy for her. And there was no doubt that he was the loser in this
competition.
“rissa!”
The look in his eyes grew cold and grim.
However, rissa ignored himpletely while she went on to book her flight. After that, she set the
rm and jumped right into her nap.
Matthew was beyond exasperated by her attitude, but he could only watch as she dozed off in a blink
of an eye.
Forget it. At least I can still feel her in my arms right now. This is way better than those days when I
could only meet her in my imagination.
Matthew hugged rissa tightly and slowly drifted into sleep as well.
A few hourster, the rm rang. But before it could wake rissa up, Matthew jolted out of bed and
swiftly turned it off.
Staring at rissa, who was still sound asleep, Matthew let out a cunning smile. He left a gentle kiss
on her forehead while he pulled out his arm from under her head. Without making any sound, he got
out of the bed and headed into the bathroom.
Right after he freshened up, Donnie arrived at the door to deliver some clean clothes. After exchanging
a brief conversation with Matthew, he left.
With that, Matthew got changed and sat down before the desk in the room, trying to aplish some
work before rissa woke up.
He asionally lifted his head to check on his woman, who was still in bed. For some reason, she had
cut her long hair short, but still, she was as lovely as before.
Matthew could spend the whole day staring at her.
As the day started to get dark outside, rissa’s phone rang all of a sudden. Reflexively, she reached
for the phone and answered it.
At that instant, the voice from the other end flushed away all her dizziness.
She started exining nervously as to why she was not yet home by that time.
“I’m so sorry, Darling. Something urgent came up suddenly. Don’t be mad, alright? Of course. I promise
I’ll bring you to y when I get back. Anywhere you want to go. Yes, I’ll buy you a toy too, but you can
only pick one…”
rissa was utilizing all her avable tactics tofort the angry child on the phone.
In the end, theforting and persuadingsted for more than half an hour.
Matthew sat there the entire time without moving an inch, overwhelmed with jealousy and displeasure.
While on the phone, rissa lifted her head and spotted the upset look on Matthew’s face.
With a sneer, she shot him a re.
“Did you shut off my rm?” she asked as soon as she ended the call.
Matthew denied in aposed tone, “Nope. You didn’t hear your own rm.”
“That’s not possible.”
“Why not? You were so tired that you were snoring. How could you hear your rm when you were
sleeping so soundly?”
Upon hearing that, the vein on rissa’s temple throbbed, and she did not question him further.
Matthew’s exnation sounded pretty reasonable, and there was no way for her to prove otherwise.
Her expression turned awkward as she could note up with anything to retort back.
However, she was still extremely mad.
“Then, why didn’t you wake me up?”
“Why should I?”
“You… You’re ying dirty!”
rissa pouted at Matthew huffily, and thetter seemed to ept her usation willingly.
With that, a staredown between them kicked off. Eventually, rissa’s re was defeated by the smile
stered on Matthew’s face. With a pout, she got out of bed and went to take a shower.
By the time she walked out of the bathroom, she was already dressed in a simple knitted dress. She
looked extraordinarily sexy in that piece, and her figure was much more shapelypared to three
years ago. Gazing at the alluring sight before him, a me of desire burned within Matthew.
Matthew rose from his seat, abandoning his work. Then he approached her and wrapped his arms
around her waist while trying to kiss her. Unexpectantly, rrisa pushed him away at once.
“Don’t even think about it! I am still mad at you.”
Matthew let out a helplessugh. “re, please try to understand. How much time did I have with you
in the past three years? I believe we’ve not even met more than ten times. Compared to the time you
spent with that kid, I don’t think I’m asking too much, am I? Besides, he knew you were meeting me,
yet he deliberately urged you to go back. Clearly, he’s going against me.”
“Can you stop calling him that kid? This is preposterous. He’s not even three years old. How could he
possibly be that smart? He knows nothing.”
Matthew chuckled softly. “Yeah, right. The only thing he knows is how topete with me.”
Out of words, rissa rolled her eyes inwardly.
Alright. I admit that my boy does surprise me sometimes. He can even say, “I love you, Mommy,” while
hugging me at such a young age. And ever since he learned about his daddy’s existence, thetter has
be the person he despises the most.
Whenever rissa went on a business trip, he would assume she was meeting up with his daddy. No
matter how hard she exined, he would not believe her.
Hence, rissa could only go on business trips behind his back.
As expected, when he found out that rissa was on another business trip, he cried for a long time on
the phone, using his daddy of stealing her again. In his mind, it was all Matthew’s fault that rissa
could not spend time with him.
“He’s still young, and he has never been separated from me. So can you stop acting so petty?”
“No, I can’t!”
“You…”
rissa’s face flushed red with fury. “Please! You’re already over forty…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she got cut off by his intense kiss, whichsted for quite a while.
And after that, Matthew did not forget to mention, “rissa, I’m only thirty-nine, not forty.”
“Pfft…”
I don’t think there will be another man who’s fussy as you.
At that thought, rissa could not suppress herughter while she poked Matthew’s chin
mischievously. “Uncle Matthew, people often say, men age like wine and be more sophisticated
with time. But look at you, why are you still so childish like a little boy?”
Matthew grabbed her finger swiftly and said in an earnest tone, “Do I look that old?”
Look at him being petty again!
Despite feeling annoyed, she startedforting him, “Not at all. Look at your fit body. Thanks to your
habit of going to the gym, I bet others will think of you as a thirty-year-old man! Just one year older than
me.”
She did not mind lying at all in order to keep him happy.
Just like what she expected, Matthew seemed satisfied with her exnation. He let out a genuine smile
while pulling her hand to his lips and kissed it.
“Are you hungry? Let’s go out for dinner. And how about staying at Zen Hignds tonight?”
“No, thanks. I’ll just stay in the hotel,” rissa rejected without hesitation.
rissa stood her ground, refusing to enter the Tyson residence, including Zen Hignds.
Feeling helpless, Matthew hugged her andined in a low voice, “You’re a hard woman to please.
If you don’t like Zen Hignds, we can find another ce. You know I am even willing to buy a new
house for you. But you won’t ept it, will you?”
She pouted like a stubborn child. “I’ve always been like this. You should know that.”
“Yes, I know. What if you buy one for yourself?”
rissa blinked in disbelief. “Please… You know I can’t afford it.”
“I could lend you the money first.”
“No way!”
She says that all the time. All Matthew had been getting from her all these years was rejection. And
now that she was finally earning more money, she used it to pay the office’s rent instead of getting her
own house.
She was so stubborn that he would have believed she was trying to break up with him if it weren’t for
the assurance she gave him.
“Alright, alright.”
Once again, Matthew could only give in.
“Then let’s head out for dinner ande back here after that.”
rissa finally agreed after Matthewpromised. But as soon as they stepped out of the hotel,
rissa’s phone rang; it was Ellie asking to meet her.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant mentioned by Ellie. But Matthew noticed that there were other
people besides Ellie in the private lounge, and he raised his brow in irritation.
Give me a break.
“rissa, why are you with Matt?”
Jeremy was the first to break the silence, addressing the elephant in the room.
With that, rissa responded indifferently, “We met at the entrance. We are not close.”
Right at that moment, the whole room fell into an awkward silence, and everyone burst intoughter
secondster.
Yarick acted as blunt as he had always been. “Well, what’s so funny? Honestly, I’m not close with some
of my hookups too.”
