My expression froze at his words and I even forgot to walk.
Matthew noticed how I was stunned and leaned toward me with a smile. I immediately responded, "What are you doing?"
"I noticed you’re in a daze, so I’m helping you out."
"Don't get so close to me."
"Everyone is talking about us anyway, so why be afraid?"
Matthew's casualness upset me even more. The soles of my feet suddenly slipped. I was wearing high heels and my feet were aching. I was about to fall but Matthew grabbed my waist and held me firmly.
"Are you all right?"
The drama of a hero saving a beauty was timeless.
If it were any other girl, they would probably be starstruck by Matthew. As for me, I just thanked him for saving me and the child in my belly.
"Thank you." My voice was very low, and I left his arms after I got up.
Noticing my actions, Matthew’s expression changed, but the smile on the corners of his mouth was still there. "You're welcome."
The sudden twitch of his eye when he let me go threw my heart for a loop.
I really could not get close to this Matthew.
