You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 399


    No one paid attention to rissa’s movie anymore.


    The police still couldn’t determine whether Hry’s death was a suicide or homicide. There were also a


    lot of wild spections from the public.


    Bystanders who did not know any better automatically sided with public opinion.


    There were also some who undoubtedly took advantage of this crisis to say things that would ruin


    rissa’s reputation, all because they were jealous of her.


    Before, they did not dare to say too much for fear of being targeted by Tyson Corporation’swyers.


    But now, the uproar brought on by Hry’s death couldn’t be suppressed at all. Netizens were behaving


    like a bunch of maniacs as they posted all kinds ofments.


    Hence, those who already hated rissa joined in as well. Through theirments, they implied that


    rissa had forced her mother to her death. Just like that, rissa became the world’s most vicious


    woman and was verbally bashed by everyone.


    The public was all over her, but she did not release a statement nor make a public appearance.


    Despite that, rissa could imagine all the unpleasant and harsh words the people had to say about


    her. She had experienced it before anyway.


    Since she was backed into a corner during this period of time, she used this as an opportunity to stay


    at home and keep her sonpany.


    Not to mention, even Damian was implicated and couldn’t attend school for fear that reporters would


    dig up information on his school and end up affecting the other students.


    Besides, Damian had been given quite a scare, so rissa patiently calmed him down over the past


    few days.


    At Zen Hignds, rissa schooled him for an hour before making ravioli together. The boy was


    visibly happy as he learned how to roll the dough from his mother.


    When Ellie called, rissa wiped her hands to answer her phone. Then, she used her free hand to


    draw some whiskers on her son’s cheeks with a little bit of flour. Looking at his adorable face, she let


    out a good-naturedugh.


    Upon hearing rissa’sughter, Ellie felt relieved because it meant that she was coping well with


    Hry’s death. Only then did she inform, “I went to the police station to ask around. They said Hry’s


    body hasn’t been autopsied yet because the Garretts won’t allow it. Zach rejected the autopsy on the


    basis that he’s still legally her husband. He’s convinced Hrymitted suicide and doesn’t want to


    pursue the matter. But it’s really weird, you know? Something’s definitely up with the Garretts. I just


    can’t put my finger on it. I tried to dig for more information from Shawn’s buddies, but they were tight-


    lipped.”


    The Garretts were behaving strangely. There was no doubt that they were hiding something.


    However, rissa preferred leaving it to the police as she did not want to know too much.


    But Ellie would call to update her from time to time, so she also knew about what had happened over


    the past few days.


    “re, do you think Zach and his family wanna make use of Hry’s death for something? I have a


    feeling that whatever it is, it has something to do with you. So please be careful.”


    Ellie omitted the details of the public’s reaction.


    There were too many people condemning rissa at the moment, so Ellie was reminded of the


    Garretts’ greed. Perhaps they wanted to make an issue of out Hry’s death to turn public opinion


    against rissa, and in turn reap whatever benefits they could from Matthew.


    After some careful thought, it wasn’t all that difficult toe up with this assumption.


    This seemed to be Zach’s n as he openly demonstrated his greed when he refused to cooperate


    with the police.


    “My wife and I aren’t divorced. She called a few days ago asking to get back together, but then


    something so horrible happened. rissa must take full responsibility for this. My beloved wife was


    killed by her own daughter. How can that girl be so inhumane? She didn’t evene to see her


    mother…”


    Social media was inundated by news like this, with Zach ying the role as the victim’s husband to the


    fullest.


    Among the public, there were some who sympathized with Zach, but all these people had corrupted


    intentions and wanted to attack rissa.


    Putting this matter aside, Zach was the most shameless one out of all of them.


    When Matthew returned home, rissa ryed the news to him as well.


    “I think Zach wants to use Hry’s death to take advantage of us. Did he reach out to you? If he did,


    just ignore him. Public opinion is already out of control, anyway. Since he’s so shameless, we don’t


    have to entertain him at all.”


    Matthew smiled. “Do you think your husband is so easily threatened by others?”


    “I’m just afraid you’d give in because of me…”


    “You know I’d do anything for you, but I’ll never give in when that person is Zach.”


    rissa smiled in return and changed the subject to get rid of the somber mood. “I had a video call with


    Grandma today. She knows about it too, but I think she didn’t wanna say too much because she’s


    worried about me. All she said was that she’s happy at her friend’s ce, and not to worry about her.”


    But as she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and she peered at Matthew with a pitiful expression.


    “Matthew, my biggest fear is troubling others. Since I was young, I always tried my best to solve my


    own problems because I didn’t want to trouble others, especially my family. But I seem to be doing a


    sh*tty job though. I keep causing trouble for Grandma and you. Now both of you are suffering because


    of me. It’s all my fault. I seriously feel like I’m cursed, like it’s written in my fate that I’d always implicate


    the people I love no matter what I do…”


    rissa had been cooped up at home for a good few days. Even though she was happy to spend time


    with her son, she still felt depressed at times.

    Anyone in her shoes would feel the same.


    She couldn’t stop herself from overthinking. Whenever she had too much time on her hands, she would


    instantly recall the past. In the end, she felt as though she was cursed as she constantly brought


    trouble to Catherine and Matthew’s doorstep.


    She did not feel sad over Hry’s death. On the contrary, she med herself for hurting the most


    important people in her life.


    After spilling her thoughts to Matthew, tears quickly gathered in her eyes and poured down her cheeks,


    painting a heart-wrenching sight.


    Matthew’s brows drew together as he felt his heart clench painfully in his chest. Pulling her into his


    arms, he stroked her back soothingly and leaned down to nt a kiss on her forehead.


    “re, none of this is your fault. You’re not cursed. Does marrying me and giving birth to our son feel


    like a curse to you? Does bing a famous screenwriter and having a flourishing career feel like a


    curse? Besides, we are the master of our own fate. Bad things happen in life, but it has nothing to do


    with you. Do you really believe all those utter bullsh*t? Because I don’t. Even if such things exist, your


    fate has already changed because you have me. I’ll make sure your life only gets better…”


    Matthew’s convincing tone gave rissa great sce.


    As she sobbed quietly against Matthew’s chest and listened to his word, her heart gradually calmed


    down and those depressing thoughts left her mind.


    “re, there’s no such thing as fate. Even if there is, only I can decide your fate!”


    Matthew was determined to n her life. He wanted to shower his woman with love, and make sure


    she would want for nothing.


    rissa raised her head to meet his doting gaze. Then, she lifted her hand to stroke the corner of his


    eyes.


    In a hoarse and emotional voice, she said, “Hubby, you said it yourself. Only you can decide my fate.


    So from now on, I’m entrusting everything to you.”


    Including my life.


    One could only imagine how deep their love was that they would make such a promise and even


    unhesitatingly hand their lives to each other.


    This was something foreign to rissa. She understood how precious the life her parents gave her


    was. Besides living for herself, she also lived for her loved ones, including her grandmother.


    Later on when she had a son, it wasn’t just her grandmother she had to live for, but him too.


    And now, rissa realized that she belonged to Matthew.


    Her throat closed up with emotion at the thought of having Matthew as her family. She couldn’t help but


    think how lucky she was to be loved by Matthew. She had given her everything to Matthew. Perhaps a


    life like this wasn’t as bad as she thought. She had been fending for herself for too long. It was time she


    surrendered the reins to Matthew.


    This life of hers had be meaningful because of him.


    Matthew’s heart stirred as he stroked her skin and digested the fact that she had truly given herself to


    him this time.


    He lowered his head to press his forehead against hers and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice,


    “re, you know you can’t go back on your words, right?”


    rissa’s dark eyes shimmered like stars in the night sky. With a determined gaze, she bravely met


    Matthew’s eyes.


    “I won’t.”


    Only then did Matthew’s mouth curve into a small smile, and his chest rumbled with a deep chuckle.


    He ced a gentle kiss on her lips once, then leaned back to look at her before kissing her lightly


    again. Finally, he deepened the kiss, making sure itsted a long, long time.


    When they broke away from each other, rissa’s heart was beating wildly in her chest.


    That soul-touching kiss left her slightly disorientated.


    “Matthew, don’t ever betray my trust. I’m literally cing my life in your hands. If you-”


    “There’s no ‘ifs’ because I’ll never do that.”


    That’s right. He’ll never do that.


    rissa smiled in response. If he did, nothing in life would matter anymore.


    She hugged Matthew tightly, as though he were her entire life.


    “Daddy, Mommy…”


    Having just taken a bath, Damian ran into his parents’ room in his pajamas. When he was met with the


    sight of the two of them embracing each other, he felt slightly left out. He directly climbed onto their bed


    and squeezed in between the two of them.


    rissa let out a giggle. “Don’t forget there’s this little guy too.”


    Matthewughed and ruffled his son’s hair. “How could I ever forget?”


    Damian looked at his father, then at his mother. When he couldn’t figure out what they were talking


    about, he simply puckered his lips to give them a kiss.
