Chapter 88: I Beg You!
Matthias’s heart pounded as he felt his wife’s warm embrace. Initially, he’d been afraid she would scold him for what happened at the airport, but the reality was completely unexpected. Was what she was doing just an act to keep their relationship going? For some reason, seeing her suddenly acting sweet after her previously gloomy expression made him feel something was off.
His right hand slowly stroked his wife’s beautiful hair. "I went out with Sawyer earlier. I really wasn’t lying to you, honey."
"Did you think I would misunderstand seeing you suddenly hugged by Amber at the airport?"
Matthias immediately let go of the hug and knelt in front of his wife.
Victoria’s eyes widened when she saw her husband take the initiative to kneel before her. "Why are you kneeling all of a sudden?" She grabbed his hand. "Stand up, Matthias!"
"Why aren’t you angry like usual, Victoria? You always get angry whenever Amber hugs or almost kisses me. Why can’t you take your anger out on me this time?"
Victoria sighed sharply, crossing her arms. "I actually want to be mad at you. When Amber dragged you away, I was alone at the airport until Ansel picked me up. Luckily, I asked him to pick me up."
"If you want to be angry, just be angry, Victoria! If necessary, throw me out of this house! You can’t sleep with me tonight."
"I actually want to. But, on the other hand, I can’t." Victoria knelt before her husband and hugged him tightly. "Because I know you’re not the type of man who would betray me."
"Tory..."
"I saw it with my own eyes while we were on vacation yesterday. You got contacted by Amber out of the blue, yet you still chose me. You even yelled at her and treated her like an intruder in your life."
"Actually, I just felt uncomfortable with her bothering me while we were on our honeymoon. That’s what made me start to hate her."
