| tried to smile but the corners of my lips only twitched. "You can just wait forat the dining table."

He nodded and walked toward the table.

| served the dishes onto the dining table and sat across from him. Then, | handed him a pair of chopsticks. "Help

yourself."

We ate in utter silence. | discreetly glanced at him from tto tand felt the pity ingrow with every

Matthew stopped eating after a few bites. | understood that he did not have much of an appetite now, so |

refrained from commenting on it.

After cleaning the plates, | walked out of the kitchen and saw him looking down from the window. My

heart lodged itself in my throat as | quickly asked," Matthew, what are you doing over there?"

He turned around to meet my eyes, a cold smile plastered across his face. "Are you afraid that I'll think of

jumping?"

"Don't!" My pupils constricted as | ran over to grab his arm. "Don't hurt yourself. Your mother wouldn't want t o

home."

| pursed my lips. "I was a little occupied.”

Just as | turned away from her, | was stunned to see Theo walking down the stairs. Did he mention that he was

coming back tonight?

His expression was stern as he walked up to me." Where have you been?"

"My previous apartment." | did not intend to hide it, so | told him the truth.

As expected, his face darkened further. He grabbed m y arm and hauledup the stairs. "It looks like you've

forgotten the lessons | taught you, huh? Are you trying to get on my nerves?"

He draggedinto the bedroom and pressed my body firmly against the door. He yelled atfuriously, "You

really do have nostalgic feelings for that place. Are you just itching to move back there?" "Yeah, of course, | want
