You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 158

Sienna’s question cut deep.

However, she was leaning more towards the assumption that the woman in question did not exist.

Otherwise, it might be Shermaine.

Even so, it won’t be a problem.

Frankly, the Tysons did not approve of Shermaine either.

“If you’re single, why not give me a try? How do you know that you won’t like me if you don’t give it a shot first? If you’re really in love with someone, how can the both of you last if your family is against her? You should take a chance on me. You’ll be able to appease your family and give me a chance to fairly compete with your beloved.”

Matthew’s expression turned grim. Sienna appeared proper and was not forceful. She was eloquent and appropriate.

Any other man would consider her proposal.

However, this was Matthew.

Matthew rejected her outright. Derision flashed across his obsidian gaze.

“I must reject you, Ms. Grande.”

Matthew immediately sped away in his car.

Sienna was left standing there and watching his disappearing car. She smiled as her resolution intensified.

How cold is that. But I really want him.

Sienna guffawed with what was seemingly delight.

On the other hand, Clarissa was troubled with something else.

She was cracking her head with what to get Matthew on his birthday present.

Although she had planned on giving herself to him, it seemed too direct. It’s not like I can tie a bow around myself and present myself to him in a gift box.

I need an actual present.

She had thought about it long and hard but still could not decide on what to give him. A watch is definitely out of the question. A tie is too lame. Then, there are the standard gifts like books, along with bags and belts. But, I can’t afford any of them which are to his taste.

In the end, she had no choice but to turn to her good friend.

“A gift? Aren’t you already one?”

Ellie was very straightforward. Clarissa blushed furiously.

Thankfully, they were on a video call. If they were next to each other, Clarissa would be at the mercy of Ellie’s teasing.

“No, Ellie. I can’t just wake up and tell your Uncle Matt that I’m giving myself to him as a birthday gift. The timing needs to be right. It seems weird to do it in the morning.”

Ellie burst into laughter, which went on for a while. “That’s even better. I guarantee that Uncle Matt will be more than willing. Spend the day in bed. He’ll never be able to forget such a special and memorable birthday. Why don’t you give it a try?” urged Ellie.

“Ellie!”

Clarissa shrieked. What a lousy idea!

Ellie was still laughing, and it looked like she was incapable of stopping.

Finally, Clarissa scoffed in frustration and hung up.

There’s no point in asking Ellie for help. I’m better off roaming the mall on my own. I might be able to find a good gift there.

One could not go into a regular mall to buy a gift for Matthew Tyson. Sienna walked into a mall that was catered for designers’ brands. There were not many people inside. Perhaps it was due to the fact that it was a weekday. It is expensive to shop here after all. Ordinary people don’t have pockets deep enough to shop here.

She shopped around on her own. After making one round, she still had not found anything suitable. Instead, she had bought a bag for herself. She would be skimping on meals for the rest of the month.

Although she was not poor, she still needed to be careful about her spending after splurging on the bag. At the end of the day, buying bags was her only hobby and she was careful not to go overboard.

After walking around aimlessly, she ended up buying an expensive tie at the suggestion of a friendly sales lady.

Fine. It might be a bit lame, but the lady said that it’s the most practical way to tie a man down. Who cares if it’s lame then?

“Please wait while I wrap up your tie, Ms. Quigley.”

Clarissa nodded and smiled. She sat down and allowed her eyes to drift. While she was waiting, two women walked in.

One of them was middle-aged, while the other was younger.

“He’s so aloof yet you insist on chasing after him. I had no idea that my sister would go to such lengths for a man.”

The younger woman smiled and responded, “But he’s worth it!”

The two women approached and stumbled upon Clarissa. They could not help but glance at the gorgeous woman before they continued shopping.

“Your stubborn personality comes from Dad. All I can do is wish you success. I hope he falls in love with you soon.”

“Thanks.”

“What are sisters for? I took leave from work today to accompany you. Everything will be fine as long as you succeed. By the way, is he going to have a birthday party?”

“Yuliana said that his mother wants to have one.”

It was useless for the person in question, Matthew, to protest.

Old Mrs. Tyson had already decided. Regardless of Matthew’s refusal, he would need to spend his birthday at home.

An elaborate birthday banquet awaited him on that day.

“If you don’t show up on that day, I will sever all ties with you.”

After hearing that threat, Matthew gave up.

Since Matthew did not oppose her, Old Mrs. Tyson smiled calmly and said, “Okay, enough about this. I heard Yuliana mention that Sienna told her directly about her plans to court you. That girl sure is interesting. I like a straightforward girl. People should just be open. I like her. Do you really feel nothing for her?”

Matthew did not reply. He fished out a cigarette and started smoking.

“Why are you smoking?”

Old Mrs. Tyson was not happy. “Fine. Can’t you take a little nagging? I’ll stop. Having you as a son is definitely some sort of punishment I’m serving for my bad karma.”

“Don’t be angry, Mom. What are we going to do for the birthday banquet?”

Yuliana took her husband’s hint and rushed to soothe Old Mrs. Tyson. She was afraid that Matthew would really erupt if this went on.

While Old Mrs. Tyson was distracted, Matthias said to his brother, “Mom is old now. She needs some excitement. It’s just a birthday banquet. You can leave after showing your face here for a little bit. It won’t take much time.”

Matthew made a sound of acknowledgment after some time.

Matthias patted Matthew’s shoulder with relief.

The two brothers fell silent. Matthew left after he was done smoking.

When he arrived at Zen Highlands, he found Clarissa sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. A wool blanket was draped over her legs. She looked up and smiled at him when she saw him. The beautiful sight thawed Matthew’s frozen heart.

“Why are you back so early?”

She knew Matthew had gone to the Tyson residence for a meal. However, he was home earlier than usual.

Matthew did not reply. He walked up to her and lifted her up. Clarissa yelped and her limbs instinctively wrapped around his body.

Clarissa smiled coyly. “What’s up with you?”

Matthew replied in a low and magnetic voice, “I miss you.”

He planted his lips on hers.
