She was obviously smiling, but the expressions in his eyes made her terrified.
Maria stepped back, distancing herself from him.
For the first time, she wanted to stay away from him.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again, accompanied by a waiter’s voice, “Is there anyone? I’m here to deliver wine.”
Maria was inexplicably relieved when she heard that it was just wine. She looked at the door and said, “My wine is here…”
“I called for it.” Matthew leaned against the cabinet, holding the wine glass in his hand. He tilted his hand slowly, pouring the red liquid down on the table. As the wine trickled down the edge of the table, he frowned staring at it as if the wine had not been agreeing with him. He slowly raised his eyes up, “I think there is other wine more suitable to us. What do you think?”
“Suit… Suitable wine?” Maria stammered. Did he want to drink with her?
Didn’t he hate her?
Did he figure it out?
Did he now find her attractive?
Holding back her inner joy, she said, “I will go open the door.”
Her footsteps towards the door were fast and looked a little messy.
The door opened. The waiter was standing at the door, holding two bottles of white wine in his hand.
Maria stared at him blankly for a moment and then said, “Come in.”
The waiter brought the wine in and placed it on the table. He opened one of the bottles and poured it into the flat-bottomed glass he had brought in.
After pouring the wine, the waiter stood up straight and said, “If you need anything, please call me anytime. Enjoy your stay here.”
After saying that, the waiter left the room and closed the door.
Maria stood beside the table and looked at the wine on it. She gulped and said, “White wine is too strong. I think red wine adds more to the ambiance.”
“I like strong. Do you dare to drink with me?”
His eyebrows were smooth, making him look a lot less domineering. The corners of his eyes were tilted upwards, and his eyes were twinkling with light. He looked really sexy male fairy.
Maria’s heart forgot how to beat.
She completely lost the control on her mind and nodded as if drunk on his appearance, “I dare.”
Matthew bent over, picked up a glass and offered it to her.
Maria reached out to take it.
Matthew raised his glass and drank it, following him Maria also drank from her glass.
White wine was not as mild as red wine. It entered her throat with a burning sensation and ran along the esophagus to the stomach lighting everything on fire.
She covered her nose and mouth and said in an aggrieved tone, “It’s so strong.”
Matthew refilled the glasses.
Alcohol gives people courage as it stimulates the brain and makes them excited.
For weak drinkers, just a glass of wine with high concentration of alcohol can make them drunk and lose consciousness.
It was the same for her. Getting drunk on wine, Maria leaned into Matthew’s chest, pressing her face into it and listening to his strong heartbeat.
She was overjoyed when he didn’t push her away. She hugged his neck, “Matthew, I love you.”
“Really?” Matthew handed her the wine, “Then prove it.”
Maria stared at the wine in front of her, reached out to take the glass. However, she didn’t drink it but threw it on the ground. As the alcohol spread in the room, she pointed to her heart, “You want me to prove it?”
She chuckled, “I’ll prove it to you.”
She grabbed the wine bottle on the table, staring at Matthew with blurry eyes and curled her lips into an alluring smile. She slowly opened the shoulder strap of her suspender skirt. As the red skirt fell down her body, it revealed her flesh and her sexy black underwear.
She raised her head and opened the bottle to drain it down.
The strong alcohol burned her throat but she endured it thinking it was a test from Matthew. If she could drink the wine, she would be able to prove her love to him.
He was going to fall in love with her! He was definitely going to fall in love with her!
Matthew turned his face away slightly from the sight of her half-naked body.
Smash!
The wine bottle slipped from her hand and fell on the ground.
The remaining alcohol mixed with shards of glass flew everywhere.
Flushed, Maria fell on the bed, “I can’t…”
