“Plans?” Matthew put down his fork and leaned back.
He lifted his head and took a good look at Blanca. She was wearing a pink stripy shirt and a worn-out jeans shorts. She had her hair tucked into a bun, looking like a college student.
It was quite attempting.
The more lovely and innocent she looked, the more he wanted to make her his.
Matthew stopped his mind from wandering and asked, “Who is it?”
Blanca didn’t plan to hide this from him anyway and told him. Matthew thought for a second and said, “My assistant will take you there.”
“No!” Blanca refused, “If you do that, everyone will know I’m your wife! I don’t want that kind of attention and I don’t want people to talk trash behind my back.”
Matthew’s car would catch too much attention. If she went to the campus in this car, people would stare.
Matthew thought for a while and agreed with her, “Then I’ll take you there.”
“What?!”
Blanca almost choked on her glass of milk. He would get more attention than his car.
“Matthew, you really want me to be the center of attention?” Blanca said bitterly.
Just as she finished saying that, Mrs. Brown overheard and laughed, “Mrs. Grant, Mr. Grant is concerned about you. The college boys are young and hot, Mr. Grant is afraid that they might steal you away.”
Mrs. Brown’s words made her flush. Blanca lowered down her head and didn’t dare to look at Matthew.
Why would this kind of teasing...?
Made her so happy?
“Matthew, well...Don’t worry, I’m just going out with a girl.” Blanca gave him a big smile.
But the car was heading to the school and Blanca couldn’t resist asking, “Matthew, you...”
“Say it.”
His voice was still cold.
Blanca turned around. Matthew was actually quite handsome. He looked like a doll from afar and if you looked closely, he looked like a marble statue. His sharp jaw line, delicate nose, dreamy eyes and even his eyebrows were pleasant to look at.
This was quite a kissable face.
And his eyelashes were even thicker than girls’.
Noticing that Blanca was looking, Matthew asked, “You wanna say it or not?”
Blanca was practically staring, which made him kind of flattered.
