You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 364
Any man who witnessed this would not only see the woman’s true character, but it would also stir up
the man’spetitive spirit.
At that, Johnny pushed Jolene away and shot her a warning look.
Only then did Jolene pull herself together and move away, but her eyes remained on Matthew.
Johnny stood before Matthew, trying to challenge thetter’s air of superiority, but the difference was
just too obvious.
He could not help but feel angry.
As for Matthew, his cold gaze did not rest long on anyone but shifted to the sullen rissa.
“re… I’m here to fetch you home.”
re?
Who is this man calling?
As everyone watched in shocked amazement, he walked to rissa, stretched out his hand, and held
them.
rissa did not object. In such a situation, rissa would not show her temper. Or maybe, one should
put it this way—perhaps Matthew had foreseen that, under such circumstances, she would not reject
his advances.
“Okay.”
She smiled simply and looked at the teachers.
“Everyone, this is my husband. We are leaving now because our kid is still at home. I’lle back to
pay you all a visit sometime soon.”
“Oh, alright. Get along then.”
Craig had seen Matthew’s photos on the inte before. Now that he had seen Matthew in person, he
could feel that Matthew was an outstanding man—one that had surpassed Craig’s expectations, and
he felt excited to see Matthew.
Matthew showed respect to the three teachers by shaking each one’s hand and greeting them before
he left.
Meanwhile, the rest of them were at a loss for words while they stared in shock at rissa and her
husband.
As they were leaving, Jolene suddenly grabbed rissa’s arm.
rissa turned around and was rmed by Jolene’s warm smile.
“rissa, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Since your husband came, you should sit down
together with us. It’s such a rare opportunity that you have brought your family members. For so many
years, we’ve been ssmates, so wouldn’t it be such a pity if you don’t introduce them?”
rissa looked at Jolene as if thetter was crazy.
She pulled back her arm and said coldly, “No, it wouldn’t. After all, I have no reasons to do so.”
“rissa, look at you! Does your husband know how you’ve been behaving?”
At that, Jolene looked at Matthew hopefully, but he only had eyes for rissa.
Jolene was rather embarrassed, but rissa could not care less. They should not have invited her for
this reunion.
They were so eager to invite me. Do they really think that I don’t know what their real intention is?
I’m not that dumb.
“rissa, it’s been so many years. Although we may have said something in the past which may have
hurt you. We are no longer ignorant now as we were at that time. It’s been so many years since then,
so I’m sure there’s no need to hold a grudge? We were just kidding.”
Some ssmates, seeing rissa’s nonchnt attitude, could not help rebuking her.
Would she just reject our friendship now after being ssmates for so many years?
“Haven’t you ever said anything when you were young that hurt someone else? Perhaps
unintentionally?”
“Unintentionally?”
Not one word of what they had said was unintentional.
rissa looked at them. They were remorseless, and none of them felt sorry for what they had done.
What was there for me to say?
Whine or cry so they sympathize me? Or should I give a long lecture about how their words had hurt
me and the harm they had caused?
But it would be pointless.
This despicable bunch has no empathy whatsoever for others, and that’s what scares me the most
about them.
Nheless, rissa did not want to say anything. She turned around and left while Matthew held her
around her shoulders affectionately.
“rissa, rissa… don’t go…”
They headed out while the ssmates in the private lounge called after them.
After the two left, the private lounge was quiet for a while.
These people were close to thirty years of age; some were married, while others were enjoying
sessful careers. Even so, none of them were mature enough.
Craig sighed, “You lot…”
“Mr. Craig, what did we do? You knew what happened back then. If rissa discussed openly what
was going on in her life, we wouldn’t have gossiped. Her private life was a mess, so we are not to
me. Anyway, she wasn’t hurt physically. I mean, she is doing so well now, so there’s no need for her
to y the victim here.”
Jolene snorted. “Just look at her character! No man can tolerate her! If I’m not wrong, this husband of
hers is going to…”
“Shut up!”
With hatred in his eyes, Johnny yelled at Jolene to make her stop talking.
Apparently, Jolene was still thinking about rissa’s husband.
Feeling guilty, Jolene did not dare to meet Johnny’s eyes. She bent her head and started fiddling with
her ring, but in her mind, an evil scheme had formed.
When Craig heard that, he was rather disappointed. One of the teachers then spoke, “You say you
were young and did not mean it, but it is traumatic for those whom you have hurt. In the past few years,
there has been quite a number of posts on the web about campus bullying—not just physically but
verbally as well. Never say you understand or presume it’s nothing if you’ve never experienced it
yourselves. One can’t ever imagine how hurt another would feel.”
Upon that, Craig nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Besides, it was not just verbal. Jolene, you hid her
books and locked her in the toilet other abuses. How can you forget that?”
Jolene replied, “Did I? I don’t remember…”
Craig shook his head. This was just how Jolene was—she would never dare to admit to her own
wrongdoing. Now that she was grown up, she was even more unpopr than ever.
“Meanwhile, the rest of youdies also did many things to rissa out of jealousy. Do you think we
teachers do not know what you have done?”
At that, the girls felt a prick of their conscience.

“You guys, on the other hand, appeared to like her. However, true affection is not shown by rubbing salt
on someone’s wounds. As for the bullying, I shall not mention what you did.”
There was a long silence that followed, to which no one dared to utter a word.
After a while, Craig continued speaking. “Those years, we were not aware of the far-reaching effects,
and we did not take it seriously enough. We just gave some advice, but now in retrospect, it was us
teachers who did not carry out our responsibilities well…”
Because of this, the teachers were ashamed of themselves.
After all, rissa was respectful of them, so the teachers felt guilty that they had not done enough for
her.
Silence reigned in the room once more.
At the same time, after rissa and Matthew had left the hotel, rissa removed Matthew’s hand from
her arm.
However, Matthew moved his body closer, putting his arms around her waist, and held her in a tight
embrace.
rissa lifted her head with no expression on her face.
Matthew was undaunted, so instead, he bent down and smiled as his finger glided across her face.
“re, do you like this pleasant surprise?”
A smile crossed rissa’s lips as she thought of the lobby manager, who seemed to know everything.
“When did you arrive?”
“Today, did you miss me?”
rissa retorted, “What do you think?”
Matthew’s smile froze a little. After being apart for so many days, it appeared that rissa was still
angry.
Instantly, Matthew recalled how furious he was on the day she left D City, and he felt a little helpless.
“re…”
Matthew’s voice was gentle and low as he bent down and kissed her forehead with loving tenderness.
“Don’t be angry, please.”
rissa looked away from him and stared outside. “The car is here. I’ve gotta go.”
However, Matthew held her tighter instead.
“Do you want to visit Grandma with me?”
Matthew paused, “No, I can’t go, but you can stay.”
“Matthew…”
rissa’s beautiful eyes were solemn and cold. “I’m still angry.”
Matthew was silent for a while, but when he wanted to speak up, rissa stopped him by raising her
hand. “I know that it has already happened, and being angry cannot change the past. After all, life goes
on, and there’s no point clinging on to grudges. However, at this moment, I am still angry, and I don’t
want to see your face because you tick me off.”
Matthew brushed her cheek with his fingers, and said in a low voice, “But if you don’t take it out on me,
who else can you take it out on?”
rissa was stumped at his response and did not know what to say.
Matthew then lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers.
“Go ahead, take it out on me, and vent whatever that’s within you. However, we are married, and I miss
you so much…”
The words “I miss you” were spoken so passionately and affectionately that rissa’s heart trembled.
Needless to say, Matthew always knew how to pull her heartstrings.
His deep dark eyes twinkled like stars, touching her heart and soul.
There was a sudden glint in her eyes, and she turned away quickly. “It’ste. I have to go…”
rissa broke away from his embrace, smoothed her clothes, and walked outside. However, Matthew
held on to her finger longingly, his eyes full of pain.
At that, rissa nearly broke out inughter, so she turned around, ignored how pitiful he looked, and
left the hotel without looking back. It was like a movie scene of a heartless person ditching their other
half.
Matthew stood at the entrance and looked on as rissa drove away. His dark eyes narrowed, and the
smile melted away from his face.
When the car could no longer be seen, Matthew resumed his normal icy aloofness and turned toward
the hotel. His tall slim physique was so perfect and his sculptured features so mesmerizing that the
stalking Jolene was totally enamored.
She was jealous that rissa had such an outstanding husband but was surprised that they did not go
home together.
What is happening here?
Did they get into an argument? Or they’re not even a married couple?
Jolene became excited seeing Matthew walking toward the elevator. immediately she took out her
vanity mirror and quickly touched up the makeup on her face. Then, she quickly walked toward the
elevator. When he stepped into the elevator, she followed suit.
After all, how could she miss such a good opportunity?
