You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 63

It was the Tysons’ gathering that Sunday. Even though Ellie did not want to join initially because Shermaine would be there, she still obliged as her parents insisted on her being there.

After saying her goodbyes to Clarissa, she went back to the Tysons residence.

At that moment, Shermaine haven’t arrived yet.

Ellie went back to her room for a change of clothes while she glimpsed through her window and saw Matthew entering the house.

Fortunately, he did not bring Shermaine along. Otherwise, she would stop putting him on a pedestal from then on.

Ellie sat next to Matthew and thought that he looked composed as usual. With a cold expression on his face, his fingers were rather fidgety. It was as if he wanted a cigarette.

She leaned toward him and asked in a displeasing manner, “Uncle Matt, did you really pick Shermaine up last night? Did you send her home? Or did the two of you head back to Zen Highlands?”

Matthew glared at Ellie intently.

“What did you do last night?”

“Huh?”

Ellie was dumbfounded by the sudden change of topic. Furthermore, Matthew never asked about her personal matters.

“Uncle Matt, don’t change the topic. Tell me, is Shermaine going to be my aunt?”

“Ellie, what are you talking about? You haven’t been home recently, are you that busy at the office? Come over and let Grandma have a look at you. It feels like I haven’t seen you in years,” Old Mrs. Tyson jokingly interrupted her. Ellie rushed over to her side and leaned forward.

“Grandma, do you still have the time to miss me? All you’re thinking about is Uncle Matt’s future wife, right?”

“Look at this jealous little girl. Ellie, I know you have been fond of your uncle since you’re young. It’s true that he will get married someday, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t be your Uncle Matt anymore, you know?”

Ellie frowned. “This has nothing to do with him getting married. The problem is who is he getting married to. Anyway, I just don’t like Shermaine.”

Old Mrs. Tyson glanced at Ellie’s mother, Yuliana then said with a smile, “Ellie, what if you come to like her then?”

Ellie asked Matthew directly, “Uncle Matt, do you like Shermaine?”

Right at that moment, Shermaine entered the room.

Matthew didn’t notice her and he replied flatly, “No, I don’t.”

“Haha… Long live Uncle Matt!”

Ellie was the only one who was laughing joyfully while the others were caught in a fairly awkward situation, especially Shermaine whose face had turned pale. However, even after receiving such a heavy blow, Shermaine had no intention of leaving just yet.

Ellie snickered and scoffed.

As for Shermaine, she simply continued walking in. While handing over some presents to the butler, her smile returned and she uttered, “Mr. Tyson, Mrs. Tyson, Matthias, Yuliana, what is everyone talking about not liking something? Ellie seems very happy about that.”

Upon hearing that, Yuliana replied immediately, “Nothing much, this girl is just creating a fuss. Here, Shermaine, come over and take a seat.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Shermaine walked over and sat next to Old Mrs. Tyson who greeted her with open arms. Then they started chatting casually.

However, Ellie wasn’t letting go of an opportunity to make fun of Shermaine.

“Shermaine, we were just asking Uncle Matt if he likes you and he replied no!”

The Tysons glared at Ellie but she couldn’t care less.

“See, Uncle Matt has already said so. So why do you still keep coming to my house?”

“Ellie! Is that the way I taught you how to treat our guests?” Matthias exclaimed. Being an astute leader of the company, his presence was astounding. It was Ellie’s greatest fear whenever he displayed sternness.

“Go back to your room immediately.”

Ellie squirmed. Even though she was afraid of her father, she was still happy about what happened earlier.

“Hmph!” she expressed disdainfully and went up the stairs quickly.

After that, the adults resumed their conversation and ignored whatever that had happened. However, Matthew remained cold and distant as he refrained from talking much.

Later that day, Shermaine insisted on staying at the house. She had meals together with the Tysons and chatted with the elders for quite some time. Ellie was annoyed at how thick-skinned the woman was.

“Matthew, Shermaine is leaving. Why don’t you send her off?”

“Uncle Matt doesn’t even like her, why are you asking him to…”

Ellie held back and pursed her lips when Matthias stared at her. Upon seeing Matthew getting up and was ready to send Shermaine home, Ellie uttered instantaneously, “Uncle Matt, I need to go out as well, please send me too.”

Ellie successfully got into the car and became the ultimate third wheel. Throughout the journey, whenever Shermaine wanted to say something, Ellie would interject instead. Under such circumstances, Shermaine wasn’t able to have any alone time with Matthew all the way to the Smallwoods’ home.

Upon seeing Matthew’s car leave, Shermaine was infuriated at Ellie. That little brat kept getting in my way and even ridiculed me the entire day.

Shermaine had been patient with Ellie countless times but she wasn’t going to put up with her anymore this time.

She turned around and entered her house. Upon seeing her parents, she pretended everything was fine and did not tell them what happened at the Tysons. However, deep down inside, she had started thinking of ways to take revenge on Ellie.

“Uncle Matt, just send me over to Clarissa’s. I won’t be going home!”

That day, Matthew was in the driver’s seat while Ellie was sitting next to him in the passenger seat. Ellie sent a voice message to Clarissa. “I’m going over to your place in a bit Clare. Let’s go out and have some fun tonight.”

“Where are we going?” Clarissa’s voice was crisp and calm.

Matthew’s eyes twinkled.

“Shermaine ruined my mood last night but now I’m feeling better. I’ll invite the girls from my office, plus Damon and the rest, let’s have a fun celebration tonight. Go and get ready, wear something nice and we shall have the best night ever!”

“Haha… You seem rather happy, what’s the occasion? Didn’t you meet with Shermaine when you went home today? How can your mood still be so good?” Clarissa chuckled.

“Haha. Well, let’s just say something good happened. I’ll tell you when I arrive!”

“Something good? Could it be that your Uncle Matt isn’t going to marry Shermaine anymore?”

Upon hearing that, Ellie took a glance at Matthew and smiled awkwardly.

“Uncle Matt, I was just ranting to Clarissa about that and there’s no secret between us, so don’t think of it as Clare’s fault! It’s my own wrongdoing, I’ll stop talking about your matters from now on. Please forgive me this time, alright?”

Matthew was indifferent after hearing that. Then in a low voice, he uttered, “You told her that I will be marrying Shermaine?”

“No, I was just ranting to her. Besides, there is news about you and Shermaine on the internet, right? Not to mention we heard from her that you’ll be picking her up last night, so Clarissa and I might have misunderstood that.”

Matthew fell silent and didn’t say anything after that.

Ellie was still nervous that Matthew might be blaming her seeing that he remained silent until they reached Clarissa’s apartment.

“Well, Uncle Matt, I’ll take my leave then.”

His car remained on the spot even though Ellie had gone into the building.

Upon entering the house, Ellie couldn’t help but pat her chest and said, “That was so scary, so scary.”

Clarissa was amused when she saw her best friend’s frightened expression. “What happened to you? Were you chased by a monster?”

“Not a monster, it’s Uncle Matt.”

“What?”

Upon seeing Clarissa becoming more anxious than her, Ellie couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why are you afraid of Uncle Matt? Haha… But it’s true that he’s usually quite stern and that’s intimidating.”

“Your… Your Uncle Matt sent you here?” Clarissa stuttered. “So our voice messages earlier, he…”

Ellie smiled gleefully and replied, “Haha… Yes, Uncle Matt heard everything.”

Clarissa’s face turned pale.

“Haha… Are you scared? Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you. Uncle Matt would only blame me, so you have nothing to worry about. Now, let me tell you, something exhilarating happened at my house today…”

Just then, Clarissa’s cell phone rang.

Her face changed upon taking a look at it. She grabbed her cell phone hurriedly and said to Ellie, “It’s someone from my company.” Then, she went out to the balcony and shut the door before picking up the call.

Why is she being so mysterious? And why would she need to stay away from me to pick up a call?

Ellie felt something was off and she decided to question her later.

While standing at the balcony, Clarissa answered the call nervously. “Hello?”

“What’s with the hello? Don’t you know it’s me?”

Matthew was clearly annoyed.

Clarissa frowned. “Mr. Tyson, what’s the matter?”

“Ha!” Matthew let out a sarcastic laugh.

Clarissa was furious. Why is he laughing like that? She retaliated, “Ha-ha!”

Clarissa was already feeling all sorts of negative emotions from within and she wasn’t happy at all. Couple that with how the man was speaking to her, she was even more determined to not show her weakness at all.

“Mr. Tyson, just be frank with me. There’s no need for you to sneer like that. By the way, I don’t want to repay the favor anymore. I think it’s too small of a gesture for me to cook for you and I believe that you wouldn’t mind that either. After all, I’m just a nobody. Besides, you’re the almighty Mr. Tyson, you could have any food you want, you don’t have to settle for my simple dishes. Therefore, I wouldn’t dare to cook another meal for you. Of course, if you see me as someone ungrateful, I may very well be that

type of person. In addition, if you don’t agree with me working in Tyson Corporation, I’ll stop writing about my article. I hope that I’ll have nothing to do with you anymore in the future.”

“Are you done talking?”

Matthew was sitting in his car downstairs while listening to her words and about how she wanted to have nothing to do with him. He was curious about how she looked like at that moment.

Nonetheless, he could imagine her trying her best to cover her true emotions by putting on a serious face with a sorrowful look in her beautiful and gentle-looking eyes.

Little did she know that every time she mentioned not having any connections with him, Matthew would have the urge to bully her.
