It was a woman. She squatted beside the big tree, circled herself with her arms, and looked down. Her long black hair hung down at the back, looking like silks and satins.
Matthew could not see her clearly, but found that her shoulders were trembling gently.
Matthew carefully stared at her for a while, his eyes as cool as the night.
He did not say a word, turned around, and was about to leave.
The woman heard his footsteps and glanced at his moving figure, saying weakly, "You... don't go."
Matthew paused and did not turn around, his voice low, "What are you doing here?"
The woman swallowed twice, not knowing how to speak.
"You shouldn't come!" Matthew's voice was full of anger. He was displeased that this woman appeared around his house.
"I..." The woman pursed her lips, her eyes watery, "I just come to thank you for helping me today. Thank you."
"In fact, I was unwilling to do it. If it were just me here, I wouldn't have interfered. You were lucky that Mrs. Lee couldn't bear to see it. So, I lent a hand. Don't overthink it."
Matthew said in a cold and harsh tone. He didn't soften at all and disassociate himself from what he had done.
"Get the hell out of here."
After saying this, Matthew continued to go away, as if he didn't want to stay here for a second longer.
"Matthew," The woman saw that he was going to leave and called out to him sharply.
"Ms. George, please call me Mr. Matthew," Matthew corrected her, and did not plan to stop at all.
He quickly walked out of the low bushes and headed for the opposite building.
The woman was anxious. She hesitated, gritted her teeth, and finally chased after him recklessly. Her pace was a little unstable.
She instinctively reached out to pull his wrist without thinking. But just as she touched Matthew's skin, he raised his hand to shake her off.
The woman's centre of gravity was unstable. Besides, there was injury on her ankle. So, she fell to the ground after being shaken off by Matthew.
The rough ground cut the skin of her delicate palm and arm. She endured the pain on her ankle and hand and didn't dare to scream again.
Matthew turned to look at the woman who was slowly sitting on the ground. His eyes were cold and full of anger.
"Lana, enough! Your trick in front of me is useless!" Matthew's face was calm.
Lana looked up at his distinctly chiseled face with her soft eyes.
His indifference made her feel that he kept a distance from her. She could not get close to him even if she tried her best to reach out.
"Matthew, I didn’t." Lana shook her head, defending herself.
"What are you trying to do this time?" Matthew frowned, ignoring the sadness in her eyes.
He would never forget in his life how vicious she was behind her beautiful face.
It was because of this face that he had believed in her. So, he paid a terrible price.
"I just wanted to come and see you." Lana was serious, "I just want to quietly watch you from afar, and did not want to disturb you."
"Do you think I'll believe you when you say that?" Matthew sneered with heavy irony, "You want to see how poor I was during the years you abandoned me?
