Winter's POV"Oh, look who's here. Winter and her poor husband."I rolled my eyes as soon as I saw mom and dad. Mom eyed Matthew from head to toe before speaking again. "Aren't you going to greet me or at least show some respect to me?""Good evening, Mrs. Wesley." Matthew was about to kiss her on the cheek, but mom looked away."Make sure to behave well here. Beggars like you shouldn't show your real character here if you don't want Daddy's birthday to be ruined."Matthew nodded. "I understand, Mrs. Wesley.""Now, get me some wine.""Yes." Matthew was about to go and follow what mom asked him to do, but I stood up and stopped him."There are servers all over the venue. Why don't you ask them? Or maybe why don't you go there and get yourself some wine? My husband isn't your servant. You can't just boss him around, as he owes you something."Mom and Dad's eyes widened in surprise. "W-What did you just say?""Matthew is my husband, not your servant."Mom laughed sarcastically. "Oh, so y
Themis' POVI couldn't stop thinking about what Winter told me last night. She just told me she liked me, and she didn't even look like she was joking.Could it really be that she already likes me?But I thought she hated me? Maybe she was just trying to tease me.I shook my head as I put my robe on and stepped out of the bathroom. I almost jumped when I saw Winter sitting on my bed with a smile on her face."W-Winter, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at your work right now?""Good morning, Matthew! Oh, my manager told me that the filming will start late today, so I don't really need to hurry up. By the way, I have prepared breakfast for you. Just go downstairs as soon as you're done dressing up, okay?"I nodded my head absentmindedly. The way she was acting confuses me so much.After saying all those things to me, she already left. I just changed my clothes into my working attire before going downstairs straight to the dining room, where I found Winter and Elisse s
Winter's POVMatthew immediately stood up as soon as grandpa stepped inside the office, seeing us in a really awkward scene. "M-Mr. Wesley." "Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Grandpa nodded his head and sat on the couch while looking at us. "Well, I actually have something to tell Matthew. But looks like I disturbed your alone time together.""Oh, no, you didn't disturb us. Winter just came here to bring me some lunch.""Is that true, Winter?""Yes, grandpa. I brought him lunch since I know he sometimes skips his lunch because of too much work that he has to do. Aren't I thoughtful?"Grandpa nodded his head while smiling. "Looks like the two of you are getting along well now. That's good news.""Right. By the way, grandpa. You said that you have something to tell Matthew, right? If it's that important, then might as well I leave the two of you here." I said as I stood up and left Matthew's office.Grandpa already knows about my real feelings toward Matthew. Although he didn't pro
Winter's POV"Winter? Are you alright? Why do you look so down today? Did something wrong happen?" asked Haley as soon as she saw me step out of my car.I looked at her with a blank expression on my face. "Let's just finish filming already, okay? I badly want to take some rest now.""If you don't feel alright, then we can film next time.""No, I badly need to finish this movie. I don't want to see Ian's face anymore."Haley heaved a sigh and made me sit on a bench. "Fine. But tell me what your problem is.""Matthew.""Oh, your husband?""He told me he doesn't like me and that he won't change his mind no matter what happens."Her eyes widened in surprise. "W-What?! Did he really say that?!""He did, even though I already told him not to say those kinds of things to me yet.""Oh, poor you. That's so brave of him to turn down Winter Wesley. Does he even know how many men are fighting for your attention?"I wiped the tears from my eyes. "He told me I don't deserve someone like him.""So,
Winter's POVDoes he really think he would be able to get away from me? No way!I would follow him no matter where he goes! Even if he goes to hell or another planet!Grandpa provided me with the exact address of the hotel where Matthew is staying at. He even told me not to distract Matthew while he was at work."Good morning, ma'am. Do you have any reservations here?" the lady at the front desk asked me as I arrived at the hotel where Matthew is."I'm Matthew's wife. The President of Wesley Holdings."Her eyes widened as soon as she heard what I said. "W-Winter Wesley?!""Please, don't tell anyone I'm here. I don't want the paparazzi to go and follow every move I'll make. I'm just here for my husband."She nodded with her face blushing. "Y-Yes, Ma'am. Your husband checked in here last night. He's in room 1034.""I see. Thanks!"After that, I immediately rode the elevator going to Matthew's room. I heaved a deep sigh as I stood in front of his door.I knocked on the door a few times b
Themis' POV"I am ready!" Winter cooed as she stepped out of the bathroom, wearing a pink dress and black sunglasses as if she was going to an award show. She insisted on going to our investor's company with me. I already told her not to, but she was so stubborn. I looked at her in confusion. "Are you going somewhere?""Huh? Didn't I tell you yesterday that I will come to your office?""Are you sure that's what you're going to wear?"She checked herself and looked at me again. "Is there anything wrong with what I am wearing?""There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just wondering if you'll be comfortable wearing a dress in that company. You might get the attention of employees there and so they'll recognize you.""Oh, that's not true. This is my simplest dress, actually."Since she didn't seem to change her mind at any moment, I just nodded my head. I actually got surprised when I saw her last night. I asked Mr. Wesley about it and he told me Winter pleaded for him to allow her to follow
Themis' POVIt was already six in the afternoon when I finished all of my business appointments for the day. I thought Winter had already left, but as I reached the company lounge area, I saw her lying on the couch. I walked towards her. "Winter."When I removed her sunglasses, that's when I found out she was actually sleeping. She really waited for me all day, as she promised. I thought she would get tired and leave me, but she didn't."M-Matthew!" she got up as soon as she saw me. "Are your meetings done already? Please, if you still have meetings to attend, just move them to tomorrow. I've been waiting here all day, and all I ate was that chicken sandwich and caramel coffee from the pantry!" she complained to me like a kid. Her hair was already messed up she really look like she has just woken up.I couldn't help but let out a soft laugh as I pat her head. "It's done. We can go home now.""Really?!""Uh-huh. Shall I treat you to dinner for waiting that long?"Winter crossed her a
Winter's POV"Matthew, let's play a game!" I told him as he was about to lie down on the couch.His brows furrowed."Game? What game?""How about a staring game?"As soon as he heard what game I suggested, he frowned and sat on the couch. "Let's just sleep.""Come on, Matthew! That game is just so simple! Let's just do three rounds and the loser will have to do what the winner asks.""My right eye has an eyepatch, how can I even do a staring game?""Using your left eye!"Before he could even speak again, I stood up and sat on the couch beside him. "What---"The game begins now!"I stared straight into his left eye. It was quite hard since the other one has an eyepatch on, but it didn't change the fact that he has such beautiful eyes. His deep, sapphire eyes staring back at me immediately caused my heart to pound hard."I won!"I screamed when Matthew suddenly averted his gaze upon hearing his phone ring."That shouldn't be counted. My phone rang. I couldn't help checking it because i
