Chapter 275


    I told him the name of the vi, 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 nced at me before 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 for me t o walk home from here. Thanks!"


    He frowned without a word and simply reached out to pull me to the elevator. "Uh, I think I''ll just


    walk up. It wouldn''t be good for me to take the elevator when I''m this drenched."


    He ignored me.


    When we walked out of the elevator, he took me to 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 some other time.”


    "What do you want to eat?" He ignored me and asked his next question.


    I froze, onlying back to my senses after a very long time. He wanted to buy me a 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!"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "Hot pot,” I blurted out. I felt my face heat up after that, and I dropped my head in embarrassment. It


    was all m y stomach''s fault for being too hungry! I had been unable to hold myself back when I


    heard the word hot pot, making me blurt out what I wanted without thinking first.


    He smirked wordlessly and turned around to bring me to 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 t o 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


    came out 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 youngdy took the menu and stole a few more nces at Matthew before she left.


    Well, yeah, a man like him would not normally dine in ces like this one.


    Beautiful creatures were always attractive. It was normal to recognize that.


    I poured him a ss of water and said, "Thanks for everything, Mr. Zimmer!"


    He had helped me both 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 ncing at me mildly.


    The waitress soon served our dishes. I disregarded all worries about the way I was presenting


    myself as I began stuffing food in my mouth. These were all my favorite dishes. Matthew did not


    touch the food, only drinking the water in his ss.


    I knew he was a young master, so it was unsurprising t o learn he was not interested in marketce


    hot pot like this.


    He had an otherworldly aura about it, so even though h e 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 handsome man''s good looks, they simultaneously darted


    contemptuous and unpleasant looks at me, making me feel 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 ss 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 another


    round of gasps of amazement. He waspletely unaware that he was arousing people’s interest,


    and after taking his time to 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.
