Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Sweet Talk With Ex-Fiance

Victoria’s guess was right. Her trick to make Matthias jealous finally worked. Although Matthias did not show his jealousy openly, if she looks at his body language it shows that he is jealous. His right hand is tightly clenched and his eyebrows are lowered, it certainly indicates that Matthias is a little hurt because he heard his woman communicating with another man early in the morning. Moreover, the tone of the woman he loves is very sweet, while every time he talks to her she is always curt.

Since she managed to make Matthias angry in the morning, she wanted to continue the conversation with Ansel over the phone.

"By the way, what are you doing now?" Victoria asked in a sweet tone.

"I’m imagining you right now. Hearing you miss me so much earlier, I actually want to come to you, hug you, kiss you. But all of those things can only be done in my mind."

Victoria widened her smile happily as she looked at her husband who looked away. Seeing her husband getting angrier, she now felt a little guilty. Had she been overreacting earlier? Should she also clear up all these misunderstandings so that Ansel wouldn’t treat her too badly?

"Thank you for missing me, Ansel. If my husband heard all you said, he would never forgive you."

"Does he treat you well? He doesn’t abuse you, right?"

"Of course. He is very kind to me. Thank you for your concern, but from now on I will focus on my married life."

"Okay, if anything happens to you. You must call me. Don’t let yourself be tortured by your own husband!"

The phone call ended immediately. Victoria smiled mischievously, lifting her head in front of her handsome husband’s face. She was curious about how her husband would react, who had been holding back his anger, whether he would explode or just let it be as if he didn’t hear anything. Moreover, Matthias was a cold CEO type who didn’t care about anyone.

"Have you finished talking to your ex-fiancé?" Matthias asked curtly.

"Why are you angry? Are you jealous?" Her right hand lifted her husband’s chin.

"I’m not jealous. I just want you to know your limits in treating other men and not act childishly and deliberately provoke me to be jealous."

She didn’t expect her husband to respond to her in a professional manner when he was jealous. If she read a romantic novel, usually the cold CEO’s attitude when jealous would immediately attack his lover, either by kissing her or exercising all day in the room. However, that didn’t mean she wanted Matthias to treat her like that. In fact, she liked the way Matthias handled his jealousy politely.

"Thank goodness you’re not jealous. If you were, I would think you’re a very possessive man." Her gaze was fixed on the ceiling, her index fingers interlocked. "By the way, do you know why I liked Ansel contacting me earlier?"

"I have no right to know."

"Why do you talk like that?"

Matthias snorted in annoyance as he looked at his wife with a sad look. "Because I’m just a contract husband. Of course I don’t feel like I have the right to know."

Was her action to provoke her husband right? For some reason, hearing her husband’s words just now, she felt even more guilty. Her ears felt sore hearing Matthias claim to be only her contract husband. Previously, she had hoped that Matthias would treat her coldly, but now, she felt uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Matthias was already tired of dealing with his childish wife. Seeing that his wife still loved her ex-fiancé, he didn’t have much hope of winning her heart. He got up from the sofa and turned around to avoid his wife’s gaze.

"Actually, my goal is to distract my crazy mind right now. Do you know how I felt when I tasted your hangover soup?" His hand patted his chest slowly. "I felt so suffocated. Although I looked greedy, I felt sad and happy. That hangover soup you made, I could feel your sincerity when you cooked it."

Matthias still didn’t want to look at his wife. His heart immediately blossomed hearing his wife’s words because it could be concluded that he still had a little hope. If his wife didn’t like him at all, she wouldn’t feel those two things when she tasted his hangover soup.

"Thank you, Matthias. Sorry, I made you angry earlier."

Finally, Matthias turned around and showed a cheerful smile. "Thank you for being honest. I will always remember what you said earlier. I am more and more eager to cook you hangover soup every time you get drunk."

"But, I don’t like seeing you hurt yourself. Don’t act rashly while cooking." Her eyes stared at her husband’s bandaged index finger.

To vent his happiness, Matthias stepped closer to his wife and planted a kiss on her forehead for a few seconds. "I will listen to you."

*****

After a long discussion over breakfast, Matthias decided to lock himself in the study. In fact, he kept grumbling to vent his anger. His heart was very tight if he continued to defend his jealousy, luckily the discussion didn’t last long.

While grumbling, he also stared at the desk calendar. His gaze fell on a date that was given a red heart image. Fingers groped the calendar, especially on that special date slowly.

"I can’t wait for it. Even if you want to make me angry so that I divorce you, your mission will still fail."

Ding...dong...

Suddenly the sound of the bell rang loudly. For a moment he stepped out of the office to greet the arrival of the mysterious guest who suddenly came to him. He was curious who came to him now. Even though he had forbidden his assistant or his best friend to disturb him on his day off. Moreover, the two people already knew his house password.

When he opened the gate of his house, his gaze immediately glared to welcome the arrival of his close friend.

"Amber?"

"Am I bothering you now?"

Matthias shook his head nervously. "No. By the way, when are you coming back?"

Amber smiled widely, hugging her best friend’s body tightly. "Just a few days ago. Because I missed you so much, I came straight to you."

Behind the wall, Victoria actually witnessed this unexpected scene. For some reason, she was very angry to see her husband being hugged by another woman. Was this how Matthias felt when she provoked him this morning?
