Chapter 275 I told him the nof the villa, then sat in the car without making another sound.
He did not speak either. All of a sudden, the silence in the car felt peculiar.
My stomach began growling at the wrong time. It was very loud, much louder than the rain outside the car. I covered my face, feeling extremely awkward.
He glanced atbefore driving the car toward the supermarket right beside us and into its parking basement. When he parked the car, he said to me, "Get out." I froze, then said, "Okay, it's pretty convenient forto walk hfrom here. Thanks!" He frowned without a word and simply reached out to pullto the elevator. "Uh, I think I'll just walk up. It wouldn't be good forto take the elevator when I'm this drenched." He ignored me.
When we walked out of the elevator, he tookto the nearest clothing shop and said to the shopkeeper," Pick out a set of clothes for her to change into, hurry!" The shopkeeper quickly walked out to pick a set of clothes for me. After I changed into it, Matthew paid them the money.
I said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my purse out with me. I'll definitely return you the money sother time." "What do you want to eat?" He ignoredand asked his next question.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI froze, only coming back to my senses after a very long time. He wanted to buya meal. I said, "It's fine, I'll head back and eat!" He looked at me, his charming brows lifted slightly." Western, Italian, or hot pot? Pick one!" "Hot pot," I blurted out. I felt my face heat up after that, and I dropped my head in embarrassment. It was all my stomach's fault for being too hungry! I had been unable to hold myself back when I heard the word hot pot, makingblurt out what I wanted without thinking first.
He smirked wordlessly and turned around to bringto a hot pot restaurant upstairs.
I bowed my head and followed behind him. I had embarrassed myself greatly today.
Though the hot pot restaurant's decorations were nothing too luxurious, its business was very good. Anyone could tell just by looking at it that it catered to the everyman.
The waitress brought us to our table. After taking our seats, she handed the menu to Matthew happily, staring fixedly at him.
Sure enough, this was what happened to all goodlooking men when they went out.
He took the menu without looking at it and handed it to me. "Order whatever you want to eat." Since we were already here, I might as well loosen up. I was not shy anymore as I took the menu, ordering five to six dishes that I liked. Afterward, I looked up awkwardly, gazing at him carefully. "I cout in a rush and forgot to bring my wallet..." "Just order what you like, and I will pay for it." He understood what I had meant.
I did not feel shy ordering a few more dishes before finally handing the menu back to the waitress. My appetite was pretty good nowadays, and I was really hungry tonight. I felt like I could swallow an entire cow.
The young lady took the menu and stole a few more glances at Matthew before she left.
Well, yeah, a man like him would not normally dine in places like this one. Beautiful creatures were always attractive. It was normal to recognize that.
I poured him a glass of water and said, "Thanks for everything, Mr. Zimmer!" He had helpedboth during the day and during the night. If I did not express my gratitude to him, it would be very impolite of me.
He did not say anything, merely glancing atmildly.
The waitress soon served our dishes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI disregarded all worries about the way I was pres self as began stuffing food in my mouth.
These were all my favorite dishes.
Matthew did not touch the food, only drinking the water in his glass. I knew he was a young master, so it was unsurprising to learn he was not interested in marketplace hot pot like this.
He had an otherworldly aura about it, so even though he was only sitting down quietly and barely moving, everything he did radiated nobility. It attracted frequent stares from everyone in the restaurant.
As everyone was admiring the handsman's good looks, they simultaneously darted contemptuous and unpleasant looks at me, makingfeel guilty about eating.
As we did not speak, coupled with the constant peeps I was on the receiving end of, I ate the hot pot especially quickly and put my cutlery down as soon as I was full.
Seeing that I had stopped eating, he put down the glass and asked, "Full already?" I nodded.
"Let's go, then." He got up and elegantly went over to the counter to pay the bill, drawing angther round of gasps of amazement. He was completely unaware that he was arousing people's interest, and after taking his tto pay the bill, he slowly turned around to leave. In the car, Matthew did not say a word. I was not a person who enjoyed talking, and I was not close to him at all, so I held my tongue too.
After interacting with him a few times now, I realized that though he might seem indifferent, he was not a cold and cruel person. Although he was a restrained man, he was very good at reading people and making his own judgments and decisions whenever they were needed. X
