My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

I really couldn’t stop getting pissed off whenever I get too close to Matthew. And the whole time I was pretending to like him, I swear I want to vomit already.

I took a deep breath when I finally reached the company building. I promised to fetch him. That is why I’m here right now. Ugh, if it’s not for our family, I won’t do this horrible thing.

When I opened my car door, I immediately saw Matthew walking toward me. I waved my hand and faked a smile. “Here, Matthew!”

“You really went here to pick me up?”

“Of course, I promise to do so. Let’s go.”

We both hopped inside my car and I started driving already.

“Uh, Winter.”

“Yes?”

“Can we stop by the coffee shop before going home? I just want to buy some cheesecake.”

I nodded my head. “Sure. Uh, why do you have to buy it? I mean, is that what you’re going to eat for dinner?”

“Oh, no. I just know someone who really likes cheesecakes.”

“O-Oh.”

I wonder who that someone is. Maybe that’s the young lady the private investigator told me about last time. Now, I would finally know who that kid is.

Just as he requested, we stopped by the coffee shop for him to buy cheesecake. I didn’t go there with him anymore because there were lots of people and some of them might notice me. When Matthew came back, I started the engine of my car again.

“So, where are we going next? You said you want to give the cheesecake to someone, right?”

“Oh, right. That abandoned mansion before the next intersection, that’s where I always find her.”

“Okay…”

As soon as we reached the abandoned mansion, he quickly stepped out bringing the cheesecake with him, so I just followed.

“Where is she?” I asked him.

“Huh? She’s usually here during this time. Ellise? Are you there? Elisse?”

He started looking around, trying to find the child he was talking about.

“Maybe she’s not here today? Maybe her mother already picked her up?”

“That’s impossible. Both of her parents died already. And she always waits for me here because she knows I will bring her cheesecake.”

So, it isn’t his daughter?

We were just standing there until a rubbish child appeared with a huge smile on her face. She immediately went toward Matthew and hugged him. “Brother!”

Wait, did she just call him brother? That means she is his younger sister, right?

“Ellise, I really thought you have already forgotten about our promise. I brought some cheesecake for you.” Matthew said again, then he handed the cheesecake that he bought for the kid.

“I will always go here, brother. We both promised, right?”

“Right. Oh, by the way, Ellise, I want you to meet Winter.”

The girl then shifted her gaze to me. I faked a smile as I took off my sunglasses.

“Hello there, sweetie!”

I thought she would be delighted and start screaming upon seeing me, but then she just eyed m from head to toe and then looked at Matthew again.

“Brother, is she your girlfriend?” the kid asked while glaring at me.

“She is my wife. From now on, you will call her sister.”

“I don’t want her to be my sister.”

My eyes widened. “E-Excuse me? Hey, kid. Do you even know who I am? Don’t you have a television in your home?!”

“Brother!” she came running to Matthew again and hugged him.

This kid is pissing me off, just like this jerk.

“Winter, I’m sorry, but think you should go inside the car first. I just have to talk to Ellise for a while, then I’ll follow you there.”

Because of that, I had no choice but to step inside the car first.

How dare that kid to treat me like she doesn’t know me? For sure, she was just pretending not to know me, just like her brother, who is so good at pretending.

“I apologize for how Elisse behaved in front of you a while ago. She just acts like that to people she doesn’t know yet. But when she finally gets used to seeing you, for sure she’ll like you too.”

“It’s alright. I just can’t believe she doesn’t know me. I mean, I am the most popular celebrity in the country right now. I can’t believe there’s someone who doesn’t know me.”

“She couldn’t watch television since she would have to sell fruits in order to have something to eat. I don’t think she could play either.”

I almost stopped the car. Good thing I was still able to continue driving. “T-That kid? But she’s so young to do a job. She’s supposed to be studying.”

“You’re right. I actually met her because she tried selling her fruits to me. Since that day, I always bought fruits for her. Until we became close to each other and she began telling me everything. Her parents died when she was just two years old. Since that day, her auntie was the one who adopted her. But her auntie doesn’t treat her right. She forced her to sell fruits in order for them to have food to eat.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“That must be tiring. Poor child…”

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the kid. But then, later on, I realized maybe Matthew is just making those stories up. I still believe that the kid is his little sister.

“Good night, Matthew.”

“Oh, you won’t eat dinner tonight?”

I shook my head. “No, I’m actually on a diet. Just enjoy yourself there.”

“I see. Okay. Goodnight.”

I smiled at him once again before finally going upstairs straight to my room. I took a half bath, then I lay down on my bed.

“Gosh, keeping up with that bastard is too tiring. I don’t even know how long I could pretend to like him.” I whispered to myself while staring at the ceiling of my room.

But I have to do it, so I will.
