Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted
Chapter 19: Two Cunning Women

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Two Cunning Women

Amber and Matthias’ mother sat facing each other in the living room. Each sipping black coffee, giving each other friendly smiles. Matthias’ mother was very grateful to have someone who still cared about her, even though her own biological son had rarely cared about her since two years ago. She knew the real reason her son hated her so much. Because she did not approve of the marriage of her son and the daughter of her enemy.

Now that Amber is here, why would she bother looking for a match for her son? Instead, she wants to make the most of it so that his son can get married and have children soon.

"By the way, are you really going to stay here forever? Your family won’t assign you to work in an overseas branch?"

"Yeah, I also didn’t expect to finally be able to return to this city after living in America for so many years. Maybe my family doesn’t want to abandon me either."

Matthias’ mother widened her sly smile as she shifted seats. She was getting more enthusiastic about approaching her future daughter-in-law.

"By the way, do you have a boyfriend? Sorry, I don’t mean to accuse you carelessly. But usually when people live in America for years, their social life is quite free."

"No, I don’t have a boyfriend yet."

Matthias’ mother immediately snapped her fingers. "What a coincidence. You are indeed a very suitable candidate to be Matthias’ wife."

Actually, Amber also felt that she was the only woman who was most suitable to be matched with her own close friend. So far, her relationship with Matthias had no problems. What else did she doubt now? It was just that she had to get rid of Victoria who always got in the way of her relationship with Matthias.

She pretended to put on a pitiful face to show that she was doubtful whether she was worthy of being the wife of the perfectionist CEO or not. Because with this trick, she would melt the heart of her future in-laws.

"What’s wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?" Matthias’ mother touched Amber’s arm worriedly.

"Even though you are very enthusiastic about wanting to match me with Matthias, will Matthias accept me as his wife?"

"Of course he will accept you. Moreover, your relationship has been quite close so far. Why do you still doubt yourself?"

"Because Matthias once told me that a best friend relationship will never become a love relationship."

"No way. That’s usually what I see, best friends can become lovers. Matthias just made a random assumption."

"But, if he says something like that, does that mean he has rejected me?"

Matthias’ mother held Amber’s hand. "Don’t think like that. If he really rejects you, I will persuade him by any means necessary to marry you."

Amber is increasingly confident that she will soon be Matthias’ wife. Winning the heart of her future in-laws is the most important thing for her dream to come true. Now all that remains is that she has to get rid of Victoria as soon as possible.

"Thank you for accepting me, Auntie."

Meanwhile in another luxurious residence, Matthias was still in love with being treated a little too much by his wife. Although his wife cared for him in a cold and stiff way, he was quite satisfied. Because for him, a relationship will recover if they love each other sincerely.

His eyes sparkled as he stared at his wife who was greedily finishing her hangover soup. The current situation reminded him of the beautiful memories they had created in the past. If the accident had not happened and he had not been assigned to work in a foreign company, their relationship would still be sweet.

Matthias took the initiative to wipe his wife’s tiny lips with his thumb. His wife’s reaction was immediate glare. "Why do you always look messy?"

Victoria immediately looked away and pushed her husband’s hand away. "I didn’t do this on purpose, don’t think badly of me!"

"I don’t think badly of you. In fact, I really like seeing you looking cute now."

"I won’t be easily seduced by your seduction! Have you forgotten what our relationship is like now? Don’t get carried away by the past!"

"But, honestly, are you comfortable being with me for two weeks?"

The question only made her more confused. Actually, she had been trying to hold back her tears. The warmer and sweeter it was, the more pathetic she felt. She wanted to get out of this situation before her husband found out what was in her heart right now.

"Do I have to answer that stupid question? Isn’t it obvious that I still don’t like you?" Her eyes narrowed. "Do you think that I already like you because we kissed?"

"No. But because of something else." Matthias widened his happy smile imagining the words his wife said last night. He deliberately hid it because he wanted only him to know. Even though Victoria said it while drunk, for him, that condition was the perfect way to express what was in her heart.

"Did I do something else wrong last night?"

"No. I was actually really worried about you last night. Seeing you being chased by that bastard until your feet were all bruised, made me go crazy and want to kill that guy."

Although Victoria’s tone had been cold, she actually felt warm talking to her husband during breakfast. She could even feel the difference between dating Ansel and living with Matthias under duress. Living under duress, but as time went by, she felt it wasn’t that bad. Whereas dating Ansel, for some reason she felt something was missing. Either Ansel was very innocent or Ansel didn’t treat her as sincerely as Matthias.

"Thank you, Matthias. I like seeing you save me quickly."

"Anyway, wherever you go, you must always bring Louis. Don’t act alone!"

"Is Louis really my husband? Instead of inviting Louis, I might as well invite my ex-fiancé."

Matthias’ eyes widened. "What? So you still love him until now."

"Of course because I’ve been dating him for almost two years. I’m very comfortable."

drrt...drrt...

It just so happened that Ansel contacted her at the right time. Victoria flashed a sly smile as she swiped her phone screen.

"Ansel, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

"I miss you, Victoria. I just wanted to know how you are."

"I’m fine." For a moment her eyes fell on her husband. "Of course I miss you too."
