Blanca looked at the man before her in shock.
His entire being emanated with a cold aura, like some divine, unoffendable entity. Even she felt a surge of chill from him.
âGet out of my office, Elizabeth.â
Matthewâs tones were cold. He didnât like it when people challenged his authority, especially... a woman.
Blanca belonged to him. She was his wife. Heâd admitted that before media, and now that Elizabeth was here picking on Blanca, wasnât that the same as throwing a gauntlet in his face.
âWh-what did you say? Matthew, youâre chasing me off for this woman? I grew up with you; how could you treat me like this?â
Elizabeth pointed at Matthew and Blanca, stunned.
Sheâd come back to the country because sheâd heard Matthew was getting married. She felt like dying to wait any longer. When she saw Matthew treat Blanca so well, her jealousy exploded!
âAre you done?â Matthew scoffed, mockery in his eyes. âIf you are, get out.â
Then he shot a look at Curtis. Elizabeth didnât want to leave, of course, but couldnât stand up to Curtis by force. After a while, the office fell silent.
In the empty space of the room, an awkward atmosphere lingered.
Blancaâs emotions were all tangled. She might have been poor, but she wasnât about to let people walk all over her. But back there... had Matthew been standing up for her?
âCome here, let me look at her face.â
Matthew reached out and took Blancaâs chin in his hands. The soft warmth on his lips still lingered. Blancaâs brow furrowed and she reflexively tried to push him off, but Matthew had already swiftly grabbed her hands and tossed her bodily onto the sofa!
He trapped her arms and narrowed his deep orbs, staring straight into Blancaâs own eyes...
He had mild myopia, which only Curtis knew.
So Matthew always narrowed his eyes somewhat, his dark pupils extraordinarily bedazzling.

âMatthew, you... er, Elizabeth is gone, so you donât have to act anymore!â
âActing? Who says Iâm acting?â Matthew suddenly inched close. He was good-looking to begin with, now his big eyes were misty and wide open, tempting as a forbidden fruit!
Blancaâs breathing went out of whack.
âW-werenât you just putting on a show...â
âIt was my real feelings.â Seeing her blush, Matthewâs thoughts started ambling. His fingers had a bit of suggestive warmth in them as they traced her face. âWerenât you all cool in front of me? Why didnât you dodge away? Or were you playing weak to give me a chance?â
âI was not!â Blanca was trembling slightly as she denied it. Still looking at Matthew, there was a bit of a smile on his face.
She suddenly reacted. Was Matthew worried about her?
Sheâd been hit, so he was worried...
âYou donât think Iâd still want to kiss you, would you?â Before Blanca could be sure, Matthew interrupted her thoughts. âWith your face like that, Iâd just spoil my appetite.â
âWhatâre y-â
Blanca hadnât finished when Matthew said seriously. âBlanca, your status is that of my wife now. If you came out looking like this, youâd draw suspicion.â
