You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 70

After work, Clarissa went back to the apartment to pack her stuff. In fact, she didn’t have too much to pack as she had left some in Zen Highlands.

Matthew couldn’t be there because he was tied up for something. Instead, he sent his driver to pick her up.

However, she bumped into Hilary on the first floor when she was about to leave.

“Clary, where are you heading to? And this is?”

The driver was putting Clarissa’s luggage in the car. Hilary’s eyes flashed and scanned over the driver with her picky eyes.

The driver ignored Hilary. He’s been working for Matthew for years. Hence, he was not just an ordinary driver.

He might not be as cold and indifferent as Matthew, but he knew how to categorize people by appearance.

“Ms. Quigley, is there anything else you need?”

Clarissa shook her head and smiled, “That’s all, Mr. Clark. Thanks for helping me. Please wait for a moment.”

“Sure, Ms. Quigley.”

The driver then waited in the car. At the same time, Hilary asked in a hurry before Clarissa said anything, “Clary, have you got a boyfriend now? Who is he? He is from which family in D City? What is his net worth?”

Clarissa didn’t respond but stare at Hilary silently. Hilary just realized she was too aggressive. She stopped herself and smiled. “Don’t get me wrong. Mom cares about you. You are still young, so I’m worried that you might be cheated. Besides, shouldn’t you introduce your boyfriend to us? People here in D City are so complicated. As parents, we would definitely like to meet him and get to know him better.”

“I don’t have a boyfriend. This is someone who works for my college classmate. I’ve found a place to live. So, she sent him over to help me.”

“College classmate? Which college classmate?”

“You don’t need to know about that.”

“Is that true? But I heard Yvonne say that you’ve got a boyfriend. He even picked you up from work. By the way, how did you end up working for Tyson Corporation? You… “

“Do you believe in whatever Yvonne says? Did she see any guy picked me up from work with her own eyes? And also, is there any problem with me working for Tyson Corporation? I am a graduate of D University after all.”

“I didn’t mean that. Anyway, Tyson Corporation is a big corporation. It’s quite impressive that you’re working in that company. I am so happy for you. But, where are you going to stay if you’re not living here? How about I go with you and take a look? Your place… “

“That won’t be necessary. I’m sharing the place with my classmate. You won’t be interested in it. It’s near to the subway. So, it’s especially convenient for me to get to work.

“I see.”

Hilary had finally stopped asking questions. At least, she wouldn’t doubt her for now.

She knew nothing about this daughter. She didn’t know that Clarissa was a graduate of D University, she also didn’t know that she was in fact a writer. Apart from that, Hilary had no idea that she was not short of money, she even had no idea about her life.

But of course, she didn’t actually care.

“In that case, I won’t disturb you then. Just drop by if you have time. Come meet mommy. If you’ve got a boyfriend, don’t forget to let me know.”

Clarissa answered calmly, “Got it.”

“By the way, with regards to what Mr. Harrison did last time, he has given the green light to the Garretts. Zach’s company has finally started to grow! And this is because of you. Thank you so much for this. Have you been in touch with Mr. Harrison lately? I think he’s… “ Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Clarissa sneered as she raised her brows. “What? Hasn’t Yvonne told you anything about that? She seems to be very close to Mr. Harrison these days.”

“Yvonne?”

In fact, Hilary was aware of that. She just pretended to be surprised.

“I have no idea. Why didn’t this girl say anything?”

Hilary knew that very clearly. But deep down, she didn’t have much confidence in Yvonne for she was an idiot. She also thought that Luke was just flirting with her. Yvonne even took the initiative and gave herself to him. Did she really think that she could win his heart?

However, Hilary wouldn’t stop her from doing that. That idiot could do whatever she liked. It has nothing to do with her.

“I don’t care if you know about it or not. You don’t have to tell me. I am nobody to Mr. Harrison. Stop imposing your thoughts on me.”

“I won’t, okay? I won’t”

Hilary smiled in embarrassment. Clarissa stared at her as she was about to say something, but hesitated.

She thought about it for a while. In the end, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“Mom, you’re my biological mother, which is why I’m telling you all this. I know you’ve been cozying up to Yvonne and Zach. Apparently, you’re knuckling up to them for the sake of your son. But honestly, is it worth taking advantage of me in order to do them a favor? Are they really going to treat you well? I really doubt that. At least, I am sure that Yvonne won’t be nice to you. Besides that, do you think she will easily agree with her father dividing the Garretts property among her and your son? It’s almost impossible!”

Hilary’s face darkened abruptly when she heard what Clarissa said. She actually read her mind.

“It’s useless no matter how hard you try to please Yvonne. As for Zach, if he really loved you, he wouldn’t have let you go through bad times. Just admit it, mom. We both know exactly why you want me to take me to D City. You just want me to marry a rich guy so that I can gain some benefits for the Garretts. Am I right? However, so what if I really gained something for them? At the end of the day, who does it belong to? What do you actually get from selling out your daughter?”

“W-What are you trying to say?” Hilary was wavered. She looked at Clarissa as if she was asking for her help.

“I’m your daughter. If I’m doing great, I will definitely treat you well. And of course, your son as well. He is my brother after all.” “Aren’t you not going to marry those guys?”

“I just don’t want to marry those guys that you and Zach make me to. However, that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t find a better man for myself.”

Clarissa didn’t have to spell everything out. She was somehow misleading Hilary, in a way. But if that could stop her from interfering in her life, then it didn’t matter anymore.

“I get where you are coming from. Clary, I totally understand.”

Hilary seemed to be a little excited. Suddenly, she was enlightened by Clarissa’s words. Her eyes sparkled with joy and even looked much shrewder.

“Don’t worry about it. You’re my daughter. You, your brother and I, we are a family. Your brother is coming back in a few days. I will introduce him to you. You are his blood-related sister. Please take care of him in the future!”

“Okay. I’ll make a move first. Stay in touch.”

“Okay. Sure!”

After watching Clarissa leave, Hilary remained in the same place and thought for a while.

She wasn’t someone who could be easily bamboozled. Otherwise, she would have wasted her life away.

Hilary was good at playing mind games. But, Clarissa clearly had a point.

It was impossible for that little girl to bluff her out. However, Hilary was enlightened by Clarissa’s words. She thought perhaps she could do it in another way to obtain as much as possible from her. Of course, she could fight for her son’s benefits in the Garretts by doing exactly the same trick.

Clarissa moved into the apartment that she lived previously. She couldn’t help but felt it was easy to go from frugality to extravagant.

She felt so comfortable to live in such a cozy environment.

After tidying up the place, she ordered some food. She was enjoying her meal alone while watching television at the same time. Life couldn’t be better.

She could even focus on her writing without Matthew sticking up to her.

At ten o’clock, Clarissa turned off her laptop and took a shower. Meanwhile, she was still thinking about the characters and plot of her story. After the shower, she wrapped a towel around her body and came out of the bathroom.

She wrapped her hair in a towel and rubbed it dry, As she walked towards her bed, she looked up and saw…

“Ah!”

Clarissa yelled at the top of her lungs. The next second, the man on her bed got up instantly and hugged her. He covered her mouth with his hands and said, “Wow! Thank you for your warm welcome and reception!”

Matthew lowered his head and looked at the attractive woman in his arms. He squinted his eyes and smiled. He didn’t even bother to hide his desire.

Clarissa frowned and pried his hands off of her mouth. She questioned him without any hesitation, “Are you trying to scare me to death?”

“Haha… “

Matthew raised his eyebrows, gently caressing her bare shoulders with his finger. He fell in love instantly with her silky smooth skin. While he was planning to do something more to Clarissa, she pushed him right away.

“Get out!”

Matthew felt aroused and smirked. He didn’t get out of her room, but sit on the edge of her bed and lay down lazily. He gazed at her body with a longing look.

Clarissa blushed with embarrassment. She quickly took out her most conservative pajamas and rushed back into the bathroom.

Matthew laughed in a deep and husky voice. While waiting for Clarissa to put on her pajamas, he had already unbuttoned his shirt with his pants hanging loosely. He walked towards her in barefoot.

She immediately stayed away from him. Matthew then looked at her teasingly. He didn’t do anything but went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Clarissa couldn’t help but rolled her eyes at him. Is he going to stay here tonight?

No prize for guessing what that man had been up to.

Matthew stepped out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around his waist. It was the same towel that Clarissa used earlier. She widened her eyes helplessly. Meanwhile, Matthew walked over to the wardrobe and opened it. It was a surprise that her wardrobe was full of his clothes.

Clarissa stared at her wardrobe in surprise, “Since when did you put your clothes here?”

“Just this morning before you moved in. I got Donnie to bring them over.”

Clarissa understood it clearly now. She didn’t have too many clothes. So, she only used up half of the wardrobe. She didn’t bother to open the other side. Who would have thought that it would be full of Matthew’s clothes?

“How could you do that? I told you that we can’t live together for the time being.”

Matthew curled his lip. “Who says I am staying with you?”

Clarissa hit the bed heavily and protested. “Then, what are you doing now?”

“I am just dropping by and getting some rest, occasionally.”

Matthew chuckled softly. Before Clarissa could say anything, he took off the towel without any hesitation. Once again, she screamed loudly. She quickly covered her face and turned away.

Clarissa accused him in her mind with a grimace on her face.

In a blink of an eye, he hugged her from behind with his warm body.

“What are you afraid of? You are going to see it anyway. It’s just a matter of time.”

“Get lost!”

“Haha! No way!”

Matthew pulled her over and lay together on the bed. She kept on struggling to break free but did not succeed. Finally, Matthew pinned her down with his body. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became awkward and tense. She was in a dangerous situation!
