You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 403


    Did I just underestimate my own son’s ability to adapt and cope?


    No, something’s not adding up. He was saying that I should be the one worrying about losing my status


    quo.


    Is he suggesting that it is possible for them to shower all their love in the baby daughter and might


    neglect me in the process?


    rissa furrowed her brows in worry.


    The father and son were eagerly anticipating for a daughter, and she could already sense that her


    position in the family would be threatened.


    Ah, that’s sad.


    rissa smiled wryly. She almost felt like crying but was feeling too sluggish to even do so.


    Ah, it’s better that I just keep quiet.


    Damian transfixed his gaze on his mother’s belly. He reached out and caressed rissa’s belly.


    Anticipation was written all over his little face as he wished for a cute and pretty little sister. Damian


    was already thinking about how he could bring his little sister out to y, and how he was going to tell


    her bedtime stories…


    rissa was oblivious to what was on Damian’s mind.


    Matthew came back and gave rissa the pregnancy test kit.


    Frowning, she got off the bed and headed for the bathroom while Matthew waited outside the bathroom


    eagerly as if it was his first time being a father.


    In fact, it was his first time experiencing this sort of feeling.


    When rissa was pregnant with Damian, Matthew had missed the chance to share the sentiment.


    However, it was different this time. It was the first child that he was able to experience the whole range


    of emotions—apprehension, anticipation, and even a little excitement, all of it intensified by the


    prospect that it may be a daughter that he was hoping for.


    Damian lifted his head and looked at father, and his little hand reached out to grasp his father’s.


    To Matthew’s surprise, the little guy wasforting him.


    “Daddy, baby sister ising.”


    Matthew’s eyes glinted. “Yes, she is.”


    He knew that the little guy was just ying guess, and his son’s words were not to be taken seriously.


    However, Matthew knew better than to question the inexplicably wondrous nature of children’s words.


    Matthew hoped that his son was right, and that the little princess that he had been hoping for was


    finally here.


    Right then, rissa made her way out of the bathroom and gave Matthew the pregnancy test calmly


    before shey down on the bed again.


    She closed her eyes and yawned. I can finally sleep.

    The two red stripes on the pregnancy test left Matthew stunned and surprised for a long time.


    He wanted to exim in joy to express his delight. However, at the sight of the woman sprawled out in


    bed tiredly, he was ovee with apprehension.


    He hurriedly made his way over to the bedside and looked at her. “re, are you feeling unwell


    anywhere? Let’s go to the hospital right now.”


    Feeling annoyed, rissa knitted her brows and said, “I want to sleep.”


    “Huh? Okay then, sleep…”


    Matthew lowered his voice and dared not say anything further. That being said, he still felt a surge of


    warm feeling coursing through his heart at the sight of the woman in bed.


    The man had not noticed that Damian already made his way over to rissa’s side too.


    Damian did not seem at all unhappy about being neglected. On the other hand, he was overjoyed to be


    able to have a baby sister soon.


    Matthew carried his son and swung him around happily. The little guy broke into a chortle.


    “Quiet, please.”


    rissa grumbled and the father and son duo went mute and exchanged nces with each other with


    a smile.


    The getaway trip started with rissa’s surprise. Despite feeling sluggish, she still pulled through and


    the little family went back with an extra family member.


    Matthew was even more careful after knowing that rissa was pregnant. He arranged for a day flight


    back and made sure that no reporters were present to disturb rissa. Besides, he also made sure


    that his wife was not gued by any negative news, and minimized the use of any electronics that


    might harm her. He took a step further by asking Julia to take care of any corners that would not suit a


    pregnant woman back at home and even prepared a new nursery room. However, the room would not


    be ready until some timeter. Hence, Matthew nned on getting rissa’s input in the matter.


    Matthew’s efforts had been proven to be an overkill.


    All rissa did throughout the day were only sleep and stare nkly into the spacenguidly. She did


    not seem to have any liveliness to her.


    Her demeanor got Matthew thinking if his little princess was an indolent little girl.


    After getting back to the country, they went to the hospital for a checkup and found nothing abnormal.


    rissa was perfectly healthy, much to Matthew’s relief.


    The man then thought that herggard manner was perhaps nothing to worry about since pregnant


    women were prone to feeling sleepy all the time. Besides, she did not have any morning sickness. In


    that regard, she’s already quite lucky.


    However, Matthew did not let anyone know about rissa’s pregnancy. He decided to keep the good


    news to himself for at least three months.


    Matthew’s family had been heavily criticized for going on a trip at that critical junction, a piece of news


    that the man had forbidden anyone from letting rissa know. He kept all theputers and phones


    from her sight, even going to the extent of barring anyone from watching the TV.


    Luckily, rissa was much tooggard to feel the impact of his orders.


    However, it was a coincidence that the piece of news made headlines.


    They had bumped into a few fellow countrymen who were there for a vacation at Erihal. Some of them


    recognized the little family and uploaded their photos to Twitter.


    Hence, the piece of news had garnered the attention of a few brazen reporters as they chided and


    reprimanded the family for going on a vacation.


    They were clinging onto the point that Hry had just died. rissa was the prime suspect of her


    mother’s cold-blooded murder and yet the woman had the heart to go on a vacation abroad. Even if


    rissa was not the murderer, did she not even feel a hint of sorrow at the loss of her own mother?


    How heartless must rissa be to be able to go on a vacation happily during the mourning period?


    Theizens were in an uproar over rissa’s indifferent attitude during the mourning period and


    indulged in chastisement over her actions.


    Of course, rissa was oblivious to theizens’ sentiment. Matthew paid no heed to those people,


    and sent out hiswyers to deal with those who dared to nder rissa’s name. However, there were


    still arge number of people reprimanding her and using rissa of being a hard-hearted woman.


    Some even went to the extent of tagging relevant government department’s official social media


    ounts in hopes of getting the government to intervene and punish rissa.


    However, the government departments had ignored the mindless usations and took no action.


    Even though it seemed like they did not take much action officially, the public opinion’s wrath over the


    matter was too strong to ignore. Having said that, the relevant authorities did not look favorably upon


    rissa’s apathetic attitude seeing as she chose to go on a vacation when her mother’s murder, or


    maybe suicide, was still under investigation.


    Therefore, the authorities had pressured the police into solving the case as soon as possible. Matthias


    had been requested by the higher-ups to demand rissa and Matthew to do something to appease


    the public’s sentiments.


    To which, Matthias made himself crystal clear over the phone.


    “Matthew, even if rissa’s mother had done something wrong in the past, it’s fair to move on since


    she’s already passed away. This thing with you and rissa is blowing out of proportion, and it’s not


    doing us much favor. Please, do something about it.”


    “Noted.”


    Matthew did not retort after listening to his brother’s advice, nor did he sound offended.


    However, he did nothing after hanging up on Matthias. He continued to take good care of his wife and


    his son, pouring his heart and soul into learning everything that had to do with taking care of pregnant


    women and children as if nothing happened.


    Meanwhile, rissa carried on with her life, mostly sleeping and staring nkly into the space. Life


    was as good as it could get.


    Meanwhile, Shermaine and her mother paid another visit to the Wynters. They nned to stay longer


    as they wanted to stay for a meal.


    Ka was in a particrly good moodtely and did not wish to argue with Jacque and Sandra. Her


    visit this time was simply to have a meal and chitchat with her family.


    However, Sandra was not pleased with their visit and was disdained at the notion of having to


    amodate them, especially at the sight of Ka’s smug face.


    Sandra felt indignant at the thought of rissa having to suffer public wrath while her very own mother


    was gloating at her misfortune, and how Shermaine was supposed to mourn for her mother but was


    instead happily dining with them. How shameless.


    She did not feel like sparing the shameless duo any courtesy and put on a long face throughout the


    whole exchange.


    Ka was not one known to toe the line. In the end, she could not hold it in and started to nag Jacque


    and Sandra.


    “Jacque, Sandra, look at how badly rissa and Matthew are doing. Frankly, they deserve this. I really


    have no idea why you guys still choose to stand by them. Aren’t you guys afraid of getting dragged


    down by them? I mean, you guys should be wiser in screening people at your age. That rissa


    woman has been revealed to be a murderer, an unfilial daughter who is a homewrecker. This kind of


    girl…”


    “Ka!”


    Sandra interrupted her before she could finish chiding rissa.


    “That’s enough. The girl you’re reprimanding is your-”


    “Enough.” Jacque interrupted Sandra, obviously trying to prevent her from revealing the truth.


    He tugged at his wife’s shirt. “All right, Ka. We’re done eating, and there’s something we need to


    tend to. You should leave.”


    “Jacque, what do you mean? Are you chasing us out of the door right now? This is my home too, you


    know. What gives you the right to just chase me out like that? So what if I criticize that rissa? I’m


    just saying the truth. She’s a cold-blooded murderer who killed her own mother. She’ll suffer the


    retribution for her own actions and I wish her a horrible death…”
