Fated to Love You Again novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Witnessing Her Happiness

When they reached the second floor, Matthew forgot that he was still holding her hand.

Norah looked down and reminded him. "Mat..."

Matthew realized it and quickly let go. "Sorry."

But he seemed to still feel the warmth of her hand.

Her hand was so small and soft.

And her skin was more tender than he had imagined.

"My mom must have said a lot of things to you down there. She might have misunderstood something. Don't think too much," Matthew explained.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Norah was puzzled. Wasn't she just here to visit him? What was there to misunderstand?

Matthew cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Maybe... She misunderstood the situation and mistook you for my girlfriend."

"Ah..." Norah was shocked. "Did she?"

"Definitely," Matthew said.

"Should I go and explain to her? Or it would be awkward if your real girlfriend came to your house."

"It's fine," Matthew replied. "I don't have a girlfriend."

Norah thought for a moment and looked at Matthew. Her long eyelashes fluttering, she said, "You're such a catch. There must be so many girls courting you. When you do get a girlfriend, remember to buy me a coffee."

"Sure." Matthew nodded.

He looked at Norah with a complicated expression.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

He was happy that he had hidden his feelings so well that she had never suspected a thing.

He was sad that she hadn't sensed them.

"Norah?" Matthew called out, his heart heavy.

"Hmm?"

"How are things between you and him? I was in such a hurry last time that I forgot to ask. He seemed to be badly injured too. How is his recovery going?"

"Quite well."

Norah smiled at him gently and said, "And we've made up."

"Really?"

"Yes, we've untangled all our misunderstandings and opened our hearts to each other. When I was kidnapped, he came back from abroad just to save me. He paid a lot of money and even took a bullet for me.

"Now I'm sure that he loves me.

"I'm really happy now. I even told him my secret that he's the person I've liked for ten years. It delighted him so much that he danced like a child."

The smile on her face was constant.

It was gentle and faint, but it conveyed a sense of peace and contentment.

From that, Matthew could tell that she was really happy.

Only someone truly happy could give such a heartfelt smile.

"That's wonderful."

Matthew nodded, but his heart sank deeper.

After leaving her, he had been filled with regret, especially when she appeared in his dreams.

He had even wondered if things would have been different if he had stayed with her. Would he have had a chance?

But now, he felt a sense of relief.

She found her happiness, which was all that mattered.

It delighted him to see her happy.

"Why are we only talking about me? I came to see you. How is your recovery going? Does the wound still hurt?"

"Forgot my profession? This is nothing to me, and I'm recovering well."

"That's good to hear."
