"Wait for me in the car." Matthew would always stay true to his words. Since he promised to buy it for me, h e immediately got down to buy it. "Don't get out of the car."
I looked at him from behind. I was a little moved.
Previously, I had a huge misunderstanding about Matthew, but after getting to know him recently, I realized that he was a good person. He was not as cold as he appeared to be.
Matthew was a good-looking and classy man. Many young women were standing in front of the dessert shop. Their eyes brightened up once they saw him. A few of them who were more confident approached him to ask for his number.
Then, I saw him waving his hand in the car's direction. I was confused while I lowered the window.
I saw him pointing at me while shaking his head at the women. I was not sure what he was saying to them.
After that, Matthew went into the dessert shop. It took him only ten minutes to come out with a paper bag in his hand.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular among the
ladies." I teased him.
Matthew put the paper bag that carried the dessert I wanted on my lap and raised his eyebrows. "Isn't that normal?"
I smiled. "How narcissistic."
I opened the box and took out the strawberry mousse t o have a taste.
As expected from the best dessert shop in Whaldorf City. Sure enough, the dessert tasted heavenly. It was not cloying even after I took a few bites of it.
Matthew watched me eat. "Is it good?"
"It's good," I replied with a smile.
"Then I'll have some too." Matthew stretched his neck.
A hint of a smile flashed across his eyes. "Feed me."
I shot him a helpless glance. Then, I scooped a spoonful of mousse before bringing it to his lips.
He stared at the spoon, stunned for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth.
It took me a while to realize that something was wrong at that moment. I awkwardly withdrew my hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize.”
"I don't mind," Matthew wiped the corner of his lips with his index finger and said vaguely, "It's good."
I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.
After I finished eating the dessert, Matthew brought m
e to the central square of the city.
We walked around the square until five in the evening. After we got back in the car, Matthew said that he would like to bring me somewhere nice.
When we reached the destination, I realized it was a hot pot restaurant.
Matthew unfastened his seat belt and said faintly, "I think this will work up your appetite."
It had been such a long time since I had hot pot. The moment I got out of the car, I could smell the fragrant aroma coming out of the hot pot restaurant. I took a deep breath. "It smells so good."
"Feeling hungry already?" Matthew smiled faintly and asked.
I smiled and nodded my head. "A little."
Matthew had already reserved a private room. We got into the room and ordered a few dishes. Then, I brought out the dessert that I had not finished.
