Chapter 61 pped


    The room fell silent.


    Time ticked by. Matthew was busy with more immediate work when he found that nca was asleep.


    She slumped on the tea table, her longshes leaving a thin shadow below her eyes. He tried so hard


    to hold back his desire to touch her baby-like porcin skin. Not some once-in-a-century beauty, but


    still easy on the eye…


    Matthew went into a daze as he looked at her.


    His gaze fell on the pendant she had. That ne… if she really was that person’s rtive, then,


    they really were meant to be.


    There came a sudden buzz on his phone. Matthew hurriedly snatched it up and turned the volume


    down before he even knew he’d subconsciously done that.


    He went into the lounge at the side of the office to take the call. At that moment, the office door was


    suddenly pushed open.


    “Miss Harris, Miss Harris you can’t go in… sorry to wake you, madam.”


    Curtis saw nca stir groggily on the sofa and groaned.


    “It’s fine, and this is…”


    nca rubbed her eyes. When she saw the slick ck suit on her, Elizabeth Harris’ face darkened.


    She was wearing Matthew’s suit!


    In almost an instant, Elizabeth had stormed over and pped nca crisply across the face.


    “You little bitch, sleeping in Matthew’s office, wearing his clothes, I…” Elizabeth snapped and was


    about to strike again when she saw nca’s face. She was in shock. “Why is it you again?”


    “What’s your problem?”


    Her cheek smarted. Elizabeth hadn’t held back at all.


    nca had been through a lot as a kid, but that didn’t mean she was just going to lie down and take it.


    Besides, who did this woman think she was?


    Elizabeth raised her arm and was clearly about to p her again when someone grabbed her wrist.


    “Matthew!”


    “Don’t get so intimate with me.” Matthew’s jaw was tight. His father had called and said Elizabeth was


    back in the country, and that the Harris family was getting a wee feast ready, inviting them there.


    The call had just been to notify him.


    With her wrist thrown off, Elizabeth clutched at it and took two steps back.


    Matthew was already bending heartfeltly over nca’s bruise, sympathy written all over his face. His


    slender fingers stroked her face, but nca avoided them.


    “Does it hurt?”


    “…” What the hell did you think?


    nca felt like he was talking nonsense. The corner of her mouth twitched and she didn’t talk. She just


    looked pitiably at Matthew, who showed his husbandly aura again as he looked at Elizabeth.


    “Apologize!”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “No! Why should I apologize? If she hadn’t seduced you, you wouldn’t have married her!”


    “Oh?” Matthew sneered, rage in his dark eyes. He suddenly took nca’s face in his hands and kissed


    her expressively.


    It was a warm touch of a kiss. He’d only juste into contact with her lips when he parted from it like


    it was some rare treasure. After that, with a satisfied expression on his face, he said, “See that? I fell


    for her first. If you make her angry, I’m the one who has to pamper her.”
