You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 345
rissa burst intoughter at her son’s outrageous reply. She knew how much Damian loved his toys
and food, so naturally, he’d want those as rewards too.
Now that her mood was significantly better, rissa was ready to spoil her son with whatever he
wanted.
“Darling, what reward would you like? Tell me, and I’ll get it for you.”
“Really? I want a box of choctes! And the railway set you didn’t buy thest time. And, and, I also
want to eat…”
“Okay, okay. You can eat a little, but not too much. Haven’t I already bought you the railway set?”
“But I like the big one, Mommy. The set you bought was small,” Damian whined.
“Very well then, we’ll get the big railway set and one box of choctes. You can only have one
chocte a day, but since you’ve been so good today, I’ll let you have two. And, you have to brush
your teeth after eating. If you don’t, I’ll take back all your rewards. Deal?”
Damian truly disliked brushing his teeth, but for the sake of toys and choctes, he reluctantly nodded
his head.
“Okay, deal. You have to keep your promise, Mommy.”
“Of course! But you have too as well, darling.”
rissa and Damian were so engrossed in their conversation that they seemed to be living in their own
world. Even though Matthew was seated right beside them, rissa never once acknowledged his
presence.
The mother and son just enjoyed their time together as rissa cuddled and yed with Damian the
entire ride home.
Once they were back at Zen Hignds, rissa ordered the railway set for Damian under his watchful
eye. She had stashed away a box of choctes previously, so all she had to do was pretend to find it in
the fridge before surprising Damian with it. As expected, Damian was so happy he couldn’t keep his
hands off of it.
As she watched her son smile from ear to ear, rissa felt her heart burst with an incredible amount of
love and happiness.
And at that moment, that heart had space for only Damian and no one else.
Matthew silently made his way upstairs to pack and change into a new set of clothes beforeing
back down. When he saw how rissa still had her undivided attention on Damian, a cold glint shed
across his darkened gaze.
Without a word, he turned and left Zen Hignds.
Later that night, when rissa was ying with Damian, Julia received a call from Matthew.
“Mrs. Tyson, Mr. Tyson said he won’t being home for dinner tonight.”
rissa was shocked but still gave a nod of acknowledgment. Yet, she couldn’t shake off that feeling of
unease.
She didn’t mind that Matthew wouldn’t be home for dinner, but it was odd that he would inform Julia
instead of herself.
rissa even checked her phone to ensure that it was working, and yet, there were no texts from
Matthew.
Is he doing this on purpose?
Or am I overthinking it?
“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Damian suddenly piped up.
“Let’s go eat then. Your father’s noting home for dinner, so we can eat his share and not keep any
for him.”
Ever the obedient boy, Damian frowned slightly and replied, “Mommy, Daddy will be hungry when he
comes home. Can we leave some food for him?”
“Haha, as you wish, my darling. When your father’s home, don’t forget to let him know how much you
love him.”
Damian chuckled in delight before running off to the dining table, excited to tuck into his food.
When rissa woke up in the morning, Matthew’s side of the bed was cold to the touch.
With a sinking heart, she changed her clothes and made her way downstairs.
“Mrs. Lawson, did Matthewe backst night?”
“Yes, Mrs. Tyson. But it waste when he came back. He left very early this morning too.”
Afraid that rissa might get overly worried, Julia immediately added, “Maybe work has gotten busy? I
hear it’smon forpanies to be busier than usual around the end of the year.”
rissa smiled and nodded. “I guess so.”
For the rest of the day, rissa didn’t see Matthew at all untilte at night.
On the first day, rissa convinced herself it was just her overthinking things. On the second day,
rissa thought that work had indeed gotten busier.
However, when the behavior continued to the third day, rissa knew in her heart that she could no
longer lie to herself with excuses.
Is Matthew giving me the cold shoulder? For what reason, though?
rissa frowned as she tried to recall what she might have done to upset Matthew.
Is it because I made him kneel on the washboard? But that can’t be, as I remember him being quite
happy then.
Or is it because I protested about hisck of restraint in bed and refused to be intimate with him?
But that’s also impossible as he always gets what he wants. My rejections in bed are always futile
against him, so why would he ignore me over that?
Just then, something else clicked in rissa’s mind. Could it be the hospital visit? Is he mad at me for
being rude because I didn’t visit his father?
Yes. That’s very likely the reason.
rissa had never thought that she was in the wrong for not visiting George. If she had, the hospital
visit might have turned chaotic, with the Tysons feeling extremely ufortable in her presence.
Everything that she had done was in the best interests of the Tysons, so why couldn’t Matthew
appreciate that?
That night, rissa forced herself to stay awake with coffee so she could wait for Matthew to get home.
Even if he insisted on giving her cold shoulder, she was determined to know the reason for it.
In the end, Matthew never returned home.
Understandably, rissa seethed with rage. She could put up with him wanting a quarrel or giving her
the cold shoulder but spending the night outside was uneptable.
It was a way more serious problem than anyone could imagine, one that could bring about terrible
consequences. All it took was one wrong step to have a third party take advantage of the situation,
thereby leading to broken rtionships and families. With those concerns in mind, rissa knew it was
all the more imperative that she dealt with the matter.
Fueled by coffee and rage, sleep was an impossible task now. Thus, rissa decided to call Matthew
instead.
As soon as Matthew picked up the call, rissa felt a fresh swell of rage rise in her.
“Matthew Tyson, I don’t care where you are. I want you home right now! If you fail to do so, I’ll never
forgive you!”
Before he could reply, rissa had hung up the phone as she shook with fury.
The only thing rissa could be thankful for was that Damian was still fast asleep. Otherwise, her
demeanor would have undoubtedly scared the daylights out of him.
Half an hourter, Matthew was finally back at Zen Hignds. An irate rissa had been waiting for
him on the couch, staring angrily with big, bloodshot eyes.
With brows slightly furrowed, Matthew walked into the living room and removed his jacket,
“What’s wrong?” he calmly asked, although deep down, he felt apprehensive.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
rissa scoffed. “You dare ask me that? You stayed out all night without an exnation, Matthew. You
tell me what’s wrong.”
“I was at the hospital the whole night, keeping my fatherpany.”
Even though her anger was gradually subsiding, rissa pressed on, “That’s not the point. The point is
why you haven’t told me anything. For the past few days, you never once informed me if you’d be
working or going to the hospital. Are you intentionally avoiding me, or do you not want toe home?”
Matthew looked haggard as he massaged his temples, “I’ve informed Julia.”
“Oh? Is Julia your wife then?”
Judging by how overbearing rissa was, Matthew knew she was fuming.
Yet he couldn’t help but be amused at how she got riled up only after three long days.
“Why? Did Julia not inform you?”
“Why does it matter if she informed me or not? And what’s with that icy gaze of yours? Just say it if
you’re sick of me! I’ll leave immediately with Damian and never bother you again.”
I can’t live like this anymore.
Even though rissa didn’t say it out loud, that was what had been weighing on her mind.
She never understood why married couples loved throwing that sentence around, but now she finally
realized how impactful those few words could be.
I can’t live like this anymore.
Still feeling the anger thrumming in her veins, rissa red at Matthew, ready to up and leave with
Damian if he were to so much as nod his head.
However, Matthew never did. His unwavering dark eyes seemed to pierce rissa’s soul, making her
feel somewhat nervous.
“What are you looking at?” rissa barked. “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t try to act
mysterious with me.”
Matthew sat up and leaned forward with his elbows resting on his knees, closing the distance between
them.
With such apelling presence, rissa couldn’t help but lean back.
There was a glint in Matthew’s eyes as he said, “re, have you still not realized why I’m angry?”
“What? Why are you angry? Is it because I didn’t visit your father? But you know I can’t go! If I did,
it’d…”
“No! It’s not that.”
Matthew’s expression darkened even more, annoyed that rissa had answered wrongly.
rissa’s heart skipped a beat as she felt a mix of embarrassment and rage wash over her. “Okay, so I
got it wrong. Do you have to scare me like that? Are you trying to scare me to death and ask for a
divorce?”
Matthew flinched at her words and replied sternly, “re, don’t be unreasonable.”
“How dare you even suggest that! Matthew, you were the one who scared me, so I…”
Before rissa could finish yelling, Matthew had shut her up with his hand on her mouth while hugging
her tightly.
“re, calm down!”
rissa made a few muffled sounds as she offered a doe-eyed stare, looking so pitiful and sad.
s, Matthew didn’t go soft on her. “That day at the hospital, how did you treat me?”
How did I treat him? I didn’t treat him badly in any way!
Still unable to talk, rissa blinked innocently.
“All you cared about was Damian. Not only did you not care about my feelings, but you also didn’t trust
me. No matter how much I reassured you that I’d bring Damian home safe and sound, you didn’t
believe me at all. Did you think I’d let them take Damian away too?”
rissa tried to protest, but again, her sounds were all muffled.
When did I not care about him?
Frustrated, rissa shot back with a re.
Relentless, Matthew continued, “You didn’t? Are you sure you didn’t?”
After much thought, rissa decided that it didn’t matter what she felt about it. She’d stick to her guns
and deny it till the end.
With that, she glowered back at Matthew, expressing her firm resolve.
