Whether it was a coincidence or not, he hit the nail on the head.
I put my hand over an eye and coughed a few times before waving my hand. "As if. Stop talking nonsense."
Marius looked at me out of the corner of his eye and smiled lightly. "Judging from your expression, it’s obvious that I’m right. Anyhow, you’re a peach, Sis Wan, so it’s understandable.”
"Enough you. Stop making fun of me, just concentrate on driving." I leaned against the window with my hand on my chin and stopped talking.
Seeing me like this, Marius also became quiet.
Not long after, we arrived at the villa.
"I'll be off, be careful on your way back."
I unbuckled my seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Marius suddenly stopped me. "Sis Wan, I hope I can have more opportunities to eat with you in the future."
His tone was too serious that it stunned me a little. I smiled once I recovered. “Of course, you can. Just remember to ask me out."
Seeing my smile, Marius also laughed along with me and nodded his head. "Definitely!"
I opened the car door. I was about to open the door after seeing Marius drive the car away.
I felt movement behind me while I was groping around and began feeling scared. I turned around nervously and what caught my eye was Matthew’s face which I had not seen for a long time.
I was surprised to see him. "Matthew?"
"It's me. You're surprised to see me." His voice was low. His face was also haggard and he had lost a lot of weight. He must have been having a hard time these days.
I nodded a few times noncommittally. "Yes. I read the news. Are you... okay?"
Matthew smiled and shook his head when he heard my question. "Do you think I'm okay seeing me like this?"
