CHAPTER 54: FOLLOWING MATTHEW
Winter’s POV
Does he really think he would be able to get away from me? No way!
I would follow him no matter where he goes! Even if he goes to hell or another planet!
Grandpa provided me with the exact address of the hotel where Matthew is staying at. He even told me not to distract Matthew while he was at work.
“Good morning, ma’am. Do you have any reservations here?” the lady at the front desk asked me as I arrived at the hotel where Matthew is.
“I’m Matthew’s wife. The President of Wesley Holdings.”
Her eyes widened as soon as she heard what I said. “W-Winter Wesley?!”
“Please, don’t tell anyone I’m here. I don’t want the paparazzi to go and follow every move I’ll make. I’m just here for my husband.”
She nodded with her face blushing. “Y-Yes, Ma’am. Your husband checked in here last night. He’s in room 1034.”
“I see. Thanks!”
After that, I immediately rode the elevator going to Matthew’s room. I heaved a deep sigh as I stood in front of his door.
I knocked on the door a few times before he finally opened it with a surprised look on his face. “W-Winter?!”
“Hi! Missed me?”
“W-What are you—
Before he could even finish speaking, I had already forced myself into his room.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“This room is quite huge for you to be alone here, huh?”
Matthew closed the door and walked toward me. “Winter, how did you know that I’m here? And-
“You didn’t tell me you’re going on a business trip. Don’t you even care about me?”
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you. I just thought that maybe it would be better not to.”
“I’m still your wife, you know. You still have to inform me about what you must do. Anyway, it’s alright now. I’ll just be staying here with you.”
“W-What?!”
I looked at him with a smile on my face. “Why, is there something wrong with that?
“Winter, look, I know you’re still doing this because of what I told you. But this is for the company of your family. I didn’t come here just because I want to avoid you.”
“I know that. And don’t worry, I don’t have any intention of disturbing you while you work. I just want to be with you, that’s all.”
He heaved a deep sigh. He didn’t say anything after that.
“Where’s the bathroom?” I asked him.
“It’s next to the kitchen.”
“Ooh! There’s a mini kitchen, too? How great!”
Matthew sat in front of a desk and started typing something on his laptop, so I just went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Just thinking about my plans, I couldn’t help but smile. He got so surprised upon seeing me, but I guess he couldn’t do anything about it. He couldn’t even ask me to leave.
After taking a bath, I wore my pajamas and stepped out. I just got surprised when I saw Matthew already preparing dinner.
“Just wash your hands. Let’s have dinner.”
A smile appeared on my face as I walked toward the kitchen. “Oh, you even prepared dinner for me. You really are the sweetest husband ever!”
He didn’t respond. Instead, he just sat down. I reached for the chair beside him and sat down, too. “Are you mad at me?”
“H-Huh? No. Let’s eat.”
“Don’t worry, Matthew. I promise not to bother you.”
“Thanks.”
No one was talking as we eat. Matthew was probably thinking about the ways he could get rid of me.
“By the way, are we going to share the same bed?” I asked him out of nowhere.
“I can just sleep on the couch. You sleep on the bed.”
“Huh? Let’s just share. The bed’s king-sized, anyway.”
He didn’t look at me. “It’s better that way.”
“Fine. Just don’t blame me if you end up catching a cold by sleeping on the couch.”
“Are you sure you’ll be fine alone here tomorrow?”
“You can take me wherever you go, anyway,” I said while smiling like a kid at him.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t take you to the office. You will just get bored there.”
I shook my head stubbornly. “Of course, not. I can watch you all day, even if you do nothing but work.”
He obviously got surprised, but what I just said was as if I was a psychopath who’s so addicted to him. “You shouldn’t force yourself. Winter, I know you also have more important things to do. You can just go anywhere you like instead of coming with me.”
“No, I want to go with you. Matthew, please let me go with you.”
“Winter–
I stood up. “I will go with you whether you like it or not!”
After that, I walked toward the bed and sat down as I pretend to be texting someone on my phone.
I heard Matthew heave a sigh, but he didn’t say anything and just started washing the dishes. When it was already time to sleep, he just took two pillows and a blanket, then he lay down on the couch. The lights were already off and all that we could only hear was the air coming from the air conditioner.
“Matthew, are you still awake?”
“I am. Why?” he answered.
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I thought you were already asleep. Who are you thinking of?”
He didn’t reply immediately. “I am thinking about my meeting tomorrow. I am thinking about the ways on how I can convince them to invest in our company.”
I frowned. “After your meeting tomorrow, can we go somewhere? I actually want to go and see the best spots in this country. I haven’t been here yet.”
“I don’t think I can do that. But I can ask my secretary to go with you.”
“Then, I’ll just wait for you until your meeting is adjourned.”
“Winter.”
“Goodnight, Matthew! I’ll go to sleep now.”
I pretended to be asleep. I even heard him sigh before he decided to sleep, too.
