My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

“Matthew, you should wake up now. Matthew.”

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Winter’s face staring back at me while still wearing black lingerie. Her hair was falling down on her shoulders.

Winter?

Wait, what is she doing here in my room early in the morning?

I immediately sat up on my bed and had to blink a few times before realizing I was seeing Winter in front of me. “W-Winter? W-What are you doing here?”

“I’m just here to wake you up. You still have work today, right?” she said in a sweet voice.

“H-Huh?”

Winter smiled, then she run her fingers through my hair to fix it. I almost pushed her away.

“W-What are you doing?”

“I was just fixing your hair. Come on, you should already take a shower now, then let’s have our breakfast,” she said as she stood up without removing the smile on her face.

She walked toward the door and was about to go outside, but then I called her.

“W-Winter.”

“Huh? What is it? Do you need something?”

“What’s happening? I mean, is there a problem?”

She smiled and then giggled before speaking again. “There’s no problem, don’t worry. I just realized that you are still my husband, so I have to treat you right. Also, I have to apologize for treating you so badly, especially when I first met you. Now I know that you are a good person. I should’ve treated you right.”

My brows furrowed. I was just staring at her, wondering what happened to the world while I was asleep. The last time I checked she despises me so much, then now she’s already apologizing to me?

“Oh, Matthew. From now on, you should be used to me waking you up in the morning. Also, I’ll drive you to your work later.” she said before walking out of my room.

As soon as she was gone, I slapped my cheek to check if I was dreaming. I was not. Winter really changed her attitude towards me. Or maybe she was just playing tricks on me. For sure, later, she would start yelling at me again.

I decided to just take a bath, then I went downstairs to get my food as usual. But to my surprise, I saw Winter smiling creepily at me again while there was lots of food served on the table.

“Let’s have our breakfast now, Matthew.”

“H-Huh?”

“Come on, sit here beside me,” she said while tapping the chair beside her.

“N-No, I’m just fine. I can just eat upstairs in my room if you don’t feel comfortable eating beside me.”

I was about to take my plate with me, but then Winter held my hand to stop me. “No, just stay here. Let’s eat together. You know what? I actually feel lonely whenever I eat by myself here.”

“But-

“Please, Matthew. Join me here.”

I heaved a sigh, then I just nodded my head. “Okay, I’ll just join you for breakfast if that would make you happy.”

“Thank you so much, Matthew!”

I don’t really know what has gotten into Winter to treat me strangely this morning. She even drove me here and promised to pick me up after my work later.

She’s probably up to something. I need to be extra careful when dealing with her. Maybe she’s just pretending to be so good to me just so she could get my trust. Then, when I finally give her my trust, she would start her plan. The last thing I could do for my plan was to make her like me, anyway.

“What do you think about my offer?” Mr. Hodgins, one of Mr. Wesley’s business partners who was asking us to invest in their company, asked me. He is also one of those people I should keep an eye on since James found out that he is one of those people that might have something to do with the incident that happened twenty years ago.

I nodded my head while reading the portfolio that she handed me. “Your offer is quite handsome, but I cannot give the trust of our company to you unless I get to see how your company really performs. Also, we would also have to know you personally even more.”

“I understand that. Your company is the most successful in the country right now, so it’s no surprise anymore that you need to check our company first before accepting our offer. It would be fine with me. Where do you want to start, anyway?”

“I think I need to visit your company first, then I’ll have some coffee with you.”

He nodded his head. “I see. When are we going to start with that?”

“Tomorrow, Mr. Hodgins.”

“Very well. I’ll look forward to it.”

We both stood up and shook each other’s hands. Then he finally left.

There are a lot of people I have to investigate and for sure that would take me a while, but I think I’ll have to start with him first. Once I find out about him and his background in the incident, I would proceed to the other people involved.

I leaned on my swivel chair and started massaging my temples when my phone started ringing. And as I expected, it was Winter.

“Hello?”

“Matthew. Have you had your lunch already?”

“Huh? N-No, I still haven’t. Why?”

“I asked someone to bring you some lunch there. Did it arrive already?”

As soon as she said that, someone actually knocked on my door and when I opened it, I realized it was actually exactly what she just talked about.

“O-Oh, it just arrived.”

“Good. You have to eat all of that, okay? You need to take care of your health and eat well for you not to get sick. Later, I will pick you up there, okay?”

“I-I understand. Thank you so much for this. By the way, you no longer have to pick me up later. I know you’re also tired from work, anyway.”

“No, I will still pick you up. You are too sweet to be worrying about me. By the way, the filming isn’t over yet. I’ll just see you later, okay?”

“Sure.”

After that, she already hangs up the phone. I am not really used to her being like this. I know she’s still acting, but it still makes me feel strange. I think I like it more when she’s cold towards me.

I tasted the food that she asked someone to give to me, and it tasted really good.

Well, at least, I get to taste this delicious food even for now.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
