Matthew could feel it clearly-how violently his desire was screaming right now.

He wanted nothing more than to swallow this woman whole, just to put out the fire tearing through his body.

But the moment he turned around, bent down, and was about to kiss her, the scene

seemed to freeze.

In Matthew’s mind, Charlotte’s figure suddenly flashed by.

Long hair spilling lazily down her back. Skin smooth as jade. A slim waist so delicate it

looked like it could snap in the wind…

Matthew jerked his hand off Isabella’s waist. The burning heat vanished in an instant.

Isabella had no idea why. She kept coming on to him.

“Matt…”

Matthew stopped her.

“Sorry. I got carried away just now.”

Isabella’s shoulder was bare, her gaze seductive.

“Matt, I get it. I know you and your wife haven’t had sex in a long time.”

“But you’re a normal man.”

“Matt, I don’t mind…”

Matthew let out a sigh. “Bella, we can’t do this.”

Isabella’s eyes reddened. “I’m not asking you to do anything for me. I mean… I can help

you deal with your needs.”

Matthew didn’t want to bruise her pride too badly, so he deliberately found a reasonable

excuse.

“Your body isn’t in a condition for it. You absolutely can’t sleep with anyone.”

Isabella bit her lip. “I can give you a…”

“Bella.” Matthew didn’t want to hear another word. “I’m a little tired. I’m going back to

my room to rest.”

After that, he didn’t give Isabella any chance to speak. He left like he was running away.

Isabella was both wronged and furious. She smashed several things before she finally

felt a little better.

The next day, Charlotte ran into Matthew, who had just gotten up.

His face looked a little haggard, like he hadn’t slept well.

Charlotte couldn’t even be bothered to ask.

They sat at the dining table, waiting for Mila to bring breakfast over.

Matthew seemed to have no appetite. After only a couple bites, he put his utensils

down.

Charlotte wasn’t affected at all. She ate with gusto.

Watching her eat so happily, Matthew frowned.

“Your appetite’s been pretty good these last two days.”

Charlotte paused so slightly it was almost invisible. “Didn’t you tell me to nourish myself

more? If I eat more, my body can recover.’

Matthew fell silent for a few seconds.

“After breakfast, we’ll go handle the property transfer together.”

Charlotte said, “Mm, okay.”

Natalie appeared like a ghost.

“Matt, I want to go too.”

Matthew: “What are you going for?”

Natalie started acting cute. “I’m bored anyway. I just want to tag along and have some

fun.”

Matthew agreed right away.

Charlotte lifted her brows and said nothing.

This girl was probably about to stir up some new trouble.

After breakfast, they headed to the property transaction center together.

There were a lot of people there. They could only take a number and wait.

Natalie thought sitting around was unbearably boring, so she ran off to play.

Matthew suddenly brought something up.

“There’s a charity auction next week. Come with me.”

Charlotte answered with a distracted, “Mm.”

Finally, their number was called. Natalie ran back over.

“Matt, Joseph seems to be sick.”

Matthew visibly tensed. “He was fine when we left. How could he be sick?”

Natalie answered, “I don’t know. I was bored so I called Bella. She told me.”

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Charlotte.

Many

“Bella knew you were busy with something important, and she even told me not to tell

you. But Joseph is the number one priority in our Russell family. You have to know.”

Matthew turned and said to Charlotte, “We’re going back first. We can come another

day.”

Inside, Charlotte let out a cold laugh.

Did he think she was three years old?

Isabella’s scheme was practically written all over her face.

And yet Matthew was the only one who couldn’t see it.

Natalie urged, “Matt, let’s hurry back. It’s just a transfer-what day can’t we do it? Joseph

needs you.”

Matthew didn’t want to waste any more time. He started to leave.

“Matt.”

Charlotte stopped him.

“It’s already our turn. It’s just signing the papers. It won’t take long.”

Matthew’s face darkened with displeasure. “You can’t tell what matters more and what

matters less at all?”

Natalie stood to the side, lips pursed, her provocation completely undisguised.

Charlotte became even more certain that Russell Joseph wasn’t sick at all.

If it were something this serious, it wouldn’t be coming from Natalie’s mouth.

Lillian or Everly would’ve called directly.

Heh.

Isabella had used every last brain cell on Matthew.

She acted like a slut but still expect a halo?.

Charlotte knew she couldn’t keep Matthew here anymore. She could only shut her

mouth.

“Mr. Russell.”

A familiar voice drifted over.

Charlotte looked toward the sound. When she saw the man walking over at an unhu

rried pace, she froze for a second.

It was Nathan.

He was back from his business trip?

Matthew stopped. “Mr. Hall?”

Nathan smiled faintly. “Didn’t expect to run into Mr. Russell here.”

Matthew’s attitude immediately turned much more polite. “It really is true-hearing a

hundred times can’t compare to seeing you once. I’ve been wanting to visit you, Mr. Hall,

but I’ve never been able to make the time.”

“I’m the one who should be visiting Mr. Russell.”

“Mr. Hall is here to…?”

“I’m here to handle a property transfer. And you, Mr. Russell?”
