Chapter 201 The Beloved Of Matthew


    When Elizabeth went into the office the next day, she slumped onto her chair, too tired to even move a


    muscle.


    The previous night, she had tried her best to rush home, but she was stillte by ten minutes.


    Consequently, she was


    dragged out of bed by her two sons at half-past five that morning. They tied a sandbag to her leg and


    forced her to run with


    them.


    After running for five kilometers, her calves were then quivering, and she was dead tired.


    It had been too long since she had undergone such intense training. In the past, Dominic was the one


    who coerced her in


    such a manner.


    At that time, she had just started working at Night City. Dominic was worried about her, so he forced


    her to learn


    taekwondo.


    Her stamina was poor, so he woulde over at the crack of dawn every single day to drag her out for


    a run. Her two son:


    learned quickly and used that same method to punish her


    When Matthew saw the woman who flopped into the chair like a dead fish aftering into the office,


    he lifted his head


    from his pile of documents


    “My coffee, Ms. Wade


    Only then did Elizabeth shoot to her feet. However, he distinctly glimpsed the fleeting furrow of her


    brows.


    Hmm? Is she not feeling well? Is she on her menstruation, perhaps? No, that’s not right.


    He knew her time of the month, and it had only been a week ago. When she had her menstruation, she


    would have


    hot-water bag in her hands and look all chagrined with everyone.


    A


    She had smashed two of his coffee cups and even walked all over him. In short, she was short-


    tempered during her time of


    the month


    Nheless, he had put up with it and tolerated her, seeing that she was on her period.


    What’s wrong with her today? She looks as though she’s exhausted.


    Elizabeth went to the pantry on shaky legs and brewed Matthew his favorite coffee with only a dash of


    milk. Then, she


    -ced it in front of him.


    “Your coffee, Mr. Hilton.”


    After saying that, she seemingly recalled something, for her lovely eyes narrowed a fraction.


    “Mr. Hilton, please don’t forget that you have a video conference at half-past nine.”


    Having said that, she hastily went back to her desk and sat down. At once, she felt much better.


    She started burying her head in her work. There were iing calls from time to time, and she would


    filter them again


    before patching them through to Matthew.


    When Matthew nced at Elizabeth after his video conference concluded, he saw that she was


    sprawled on her desk, fast


    asleep.


    His gaze gentled slightly, and he walked over, draping a jacket over her.


    Actually, he was more inclined toward carrying her to the lounge for a nap, but she was a light sleeper.


    If he were to move her, she would definitely awaken.


    Fortunately, the office was equipped with a thermostatic temperature control system, so it was pretty


    warm.


    Dipping his head, he swept his gaze over her desk that was kept neat and tidy.


    Her notebooky open, and there was a note on the screen that read. Tuesday and Thursday, ss at


    seven o’clock in the


    evening


    Matthewmitted that to memory and resolved not to hold her back when she was working so hard.


    At that precise moment, the chief secretary, Gracie, pushed open the door and walked in. In a sh,


    her eyes widened


    slightly at the sight of Matthew draping a jacket over Elizabeth.


    Although there had been rumors within thepany recently that Elizabeth had been cast aside by


    Matthew, the former


    still stayed shamelessly.


    Judging from the look of things then, however, it was a misunderstanding on their part.


    In fact, Matthew’s concerned gaze and tender expression right then was evidence enough


    Gracie had been working for the man for three years, but she had never seen him such.


    Rooted to the spot, Gracie gaped at her employer. It wasn’t until she sensed his icy gaze that she jolted


    back to her senses.


    “Mr. Hilton, Ms. Wade phoned me earlier and told me to remind you to go for the tuxedo fitting today.”


    Their engagement banquet was three dayster, but Matthew hadn’t yet tried on the tuxedo and all.


    Therefore, it was


    evident that he seemingly didn’t take it to heart.


    Matthew made a shushing gesture at her, upon which Gracie hurriedly zipped her mouth.


    As the man waved a hand to shoo her away, the realization that he was afraid she would disrupt his


    beloved’s sleep

    dawned upon her.


    Indeed, that was Gracie’s thought-Elizabeth was Matthew’s most precious beloved.


    She carefully closed the door. While standing at the door, she patted herself on the chest lightly.


    Phew! If I had woken her, I would’ve probably been dismissed on the spot!


    Just then, Esme strolled over and inquired, “Where’s Mr. Hilton, Ms. Johnson?”
