"That's enough! Stop saying that!" I did not want to believe his words.
Matthew sneered. "But I don't want to endure it anymore. I want you to know that I can disregard all sense of propriety and can do anything for you.”
"I said that’s enough!” I screamed, my breathing slightly rapid. "It's getting late. I should go.”
After getting back to my car, I spent a lot of time before I managed to slow down my heartbeat.
Matthew was still in front of the car, looking at me with a calm gaze.
I squeezed my eyes shut and started the car engine.
When I got home, I went upstairs, changed into my pajamas, and lay under the covers. The house was warm, and so was under the covers, but I felt particularly cold.
How did a kind person turn out this way?
When it was almost time for dinner, Theo gave me a call and said that he would be working late today, so h e would not be joining me for dinner. He asked me not to wait for him to come back before going to bed.
He had been very busy lately and had almost no time t
o take a break. Sometimes even when he was at home, he would have to work very late at night. I still had things to do, so I did not feel too bored.
On this day, I was ready to go to Canona University for a class when I saw a crowd gathering in front of the villa.
Reporters!
I was surprised that the reporters knew about this place. Theo had just bought this place. Clearly, someone had deliberately leaked this out.
I pursed my lips. “You don't have to come back, actually. I can just revise at home. I don't really have t o go to Canona University."
In a situation like that, even if I could leave the house, there was no way I could go to Canona University.
After hanging up the phone, I went to the kitchen and found the caretaker. "If you're free, go out the back door to buy some groceries.”
The caretaker had probably seen the reporters at the front door and helplessly said, "I already asked Mr. Bean, the man in charge of purchasing the groceries, t o go to the supermarket this morning when I woke up."
I was stunned. "When did the reporters arrive?"
"I don’t know about that. They were already there when I woke up this morning."
They did not come in the middle of the night, did they? These were truly a bunch of really dedicated reporters.
