However, both of them were oblivious to the fact that there was still a couple behind them who suspected their identity.
“Look, I told you that man resembled Mr. Tyson but you wouldn’t believe me, saying that someone like him won’t visit a place like this. So what if he is a president? He is still a man and treats Clarissa like a queen. Tsk-tsk, it’s my lucky day. Mr. Tyson is handsome while Clarissa is gorgeous. Both of them are a match made in heaven…”
The girl was so excited that she even took a few blurry pictures as if she had struck gold.
As for her shocked boyfriend, he couldn’t help but comment, “When you told me about how much they loved each other. I was skeptical in the beginning, thinking it was just another gold-digger marrying into a prominent family.”
“Sheesh, do you believe me now? If that’s not true love, what is? Did you see how affectionate they were? And yet you resented Mr. Tyson. From the beginning till the end, he held Clarissa’s hand and would give her the occasional kiss. Furthermore, he came with her to watch the movie, and also…”
Comparisons were never helpful.
Despite the blow to his pride, he had no choice but to accept it. After all, there was no way he could compete with Matthew.
Since wealth and looks were out of the question, the only thing left which they could compare was their love for their partner.
Hence, he swore to love his girlfriend even more.
However, his resolve didn’t matter to her. Instead, the only thing she was focused on was revealing her discovery on Twitter.
She wanted everyone, especially the haters, to know what Matthew and Clarissa shared was true love.
When Clarissa and Matthew left the cinema, she suddenly craved some popcorn.
When she entered the cinema earlier, it was filled with the delicious aroma of popcorn. However, worried that it would be a distraction, she didn’t buy any. But now, she allowed herself to indulge.
Holding Matthew’s arm, she suggested with a smile, “Hubby, I’m going to get some popcorn.”
However, he patted her on the head instead. “I’ll get it.”
“Let’s go together instead.”
Queueing together, they were surrounded by many couples. Some were behaving intimately while others were more casual.
Immersing herself in the atmosphere, Clarissa was excited.
At the same time, the patrons in front of them were discussing the movie.
“I feel that it will be good. All my friends told me they enjoyed it.”
“How can you tell before you even watched it? Stop commenting without basis. You don’t even know how to appreciate movies and are here just for the fun of it. In my opinion, I doubt a lady who writes short romance stories can do well with such a grandiose theme. Besides, she’s a rich housewife, and this is just her way of killing time.”
“You’re not allowed to talk about my idol like that. Besides, you haven’t watched it too, so don’t comment blindly.”
“Fine, I’ll stop. But, I don’t have high hopes for it. If not for her husband, she wouldn’t have been able to become a famous screenwriter. After all, showbiz is a messy industry and ordinary people like us have no idea what it was like. You’re being naive…”
“Hmph! Are you watching or not? No one is forcing you to.”
Pissed, the girl turned around and stormed off. Her boyfriend ran after her immediately.
Clarissa wasn’t affected by the exchange. Instead, she patted Matthew’s arm to calm him down. Obviously, he was the one that was riled up.
“I cannot stop others from commenting. As to whether the movie is good, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Hence, I’m not angry at all, so why should you be? Alright now, let me buy you some popcorn to cheer you up.”
After paying with her phone, Clarissa bought a bucket and stuffed it into Matthew’s hand. With him holding it, she would eat from the bucket and feed him occasionally.
Only then did Matthew break into a smile.
“Clare, you’re getting increasingly forgiving. However, why don’t I get the same treatment?”
Stuffing some popcorn into her mouth, she mumbled, “You’re my husband while I don’t even know who they are. Why should I hold a grudge against a nobody? I’m just not bothered to do so. Hence, do you want me to be forgiving to you too?”
Matthew laughed. “Fine, take it that I misspoke.”
As he opened his mouth, Clarissa fed him some popcorn. Smiling at each other, they only had eyes for one another.
Meanwhile, they heard some whispers behind them. “That man is so handsome. Is he a celebrity?”
“The lady is gorgeous too, but she doesn’t look like any of the stars.”
“No, I think he resembles…”
“Mr. Tyson?”
“Yes, he does…”
Just when both of them were still being suspicious, Clarissa and Matthew exchanged glances before running off immediately.
When they saw them flee, the bystanders quickly realized the answer. “Hey, it really is Mr. Tyson. In that case, isn’t that Mrs. Tyson?”
“Argh… what a pity. We should have asked them for an autograph.”
