My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“Brother, it’s so delicious!” Elisse cooed while we were having breakfast that Matthew cooked himself.

“Really? Is it delicious?” Matthew asked with a smile on his face.

Elisse nodded. “Yes, it’s so delicious! Right, Miss Winter?”

That made Matthew look at me. My heart started beating so fast.

“I-It’s not bad.”

“Ah, I really thought it would taste bad since I think I poured a lot of salt.”

I hurried myself to eat, then I get ready for work. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Matthew and Elisse getting ready, too.

“Winter, do you want me to drive you to your work?” he suddenly asked me.

“H-Huh? No need to. I can drive myself.”

He nodded his head. “I see.”

I thought he would already go and stop asking, but then I was surprised when suddenly, he walked towards me. He was looking directly at me and my heart started beating so fast as if it would jump off my chest anytime. My eyes widened when he moved his face closer to me.

W-What the hell? Is he going to kiss m–

“There’s something on your coat. There, I already swept it off,” he said, then smiled at me.

What the fuck.

“T-Thanks.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You shouldn’t overwork yourself, Winter. You need to take some rest every once in a while.”

Is he concerned about me?

“I-I know that. By the way, I need to go now. Bye, Elisse.”

“Bye, Miss Winter!”

I just waved at them while avoiding Matthew’s gaze then I finally stepped inside my car.

What the hell is happening to me?

Whenever Matthew goes near me, my heart’s beating so fast. I couldn’t even look straight into his eyes now. Well, in his left eye since the right one has an eyepatch on. I often catch myself staring at him, too. I don’t even know when did this start, but it’s driving me insane.

“You’re already in love with him, Winter! You’ve fallen in love with your husband!”

I almost covered Haley’s mouth when she said that to me. “Someone might hear you!”

“Okay, fine. I’m sorry, okay? But, that is the truth. You’re already in love with Matthew and you can’t escape from that anymore. God, I knew this was going to happen in the first place. I mean, who wouldn’t fall for that young, handsome and hot man?!”

I heaved a deep sigh. “If that’s the case, then this is bad.”

“What? Why is it? There’s no wrong if you fall in love with him. He’s your husband, anyway.”

“I already told you before that I will never ever fall in love with him. I still have to know his real identity, and now I guess I was the one who got caught by my own trap.”

“Well, I think there is no need for you to investigate his real identity anymore. Just be happy and confess your feelings to him. Don’t you want that to happen? For you to finally have a boyfriend? No, scratch that. A husband that you really love! Wait, is Matthew in love with you too?”

That made me blink a few times. “W-Well, who wouldn’t fall in love with me?”

“Right. And what happened when you tried to seduce him?”

“For sure he likes me too, he just can’t admit it because he’s too shy.”

“Are you sure about that?”

I averted my gaze from her. “Well, sometimes I hear him calling someone Belle.”

“And who is that Belle?”

“I don’t know. Probably his ex-girlfriend.”

“Oh my God! Does that mean he’s still in love with his ex-girlfriend even though he’s already married to the most beautiful girl in the country?! For sure she’s so pretty for Matthew to be head over heels.”

I rolled my eyes. “Pretty, huh?”

“Oh. Looks like our Winter is being defeated by some random woman with the name of Belle.”

“I’ll ask Matthew about her. And I’ll also ask him if he finds that woman prettier than me.”

“You are so brave, Winter!”

“Ex-girlfriend?” Grandpa asked me with his furrowed brows.

I nodded my head. “Yes, grandpa. Do you know who Belle is? Matthew keeps on saying her name whenever he’s drunk.”

“I don’t really know who that is. After all, I don’t know any of his past relationships. Why do you ask, anyway?”

“I-I’m just curious. A-And don’t I have the right to know that? I’m her wife!”

A smile formed on his lips as he nodded his head. “I see. Then why don’t you go ask your husband yourself? He’s the only one who can answer that, anyway.”

“B-But—Fine.”

“Winter. This is the very first time I saw you like this. You’re in love with your husband, aren’t you?”

I lowered my head as I bit my lower lip. “I-I think so. Yes, I’m already in love with him. What should I do, grandpa?”

“Nothing. Just let yourself be in love with him. There’s no wrong with falling in love. That is the most precious feeling one could ever have. By the way, what is it that made you fall in love with him?”

“I-I don’t know. M-Maybe because of his kindness and being such a gentleman?”

“I knew this was going to happen.”

“But grandpa, I don’t know if he’s in love with me too. What if he loves someone else?”

“Why don’t you ask him? Maybe, he loves you too.”

I shook my head. “I-I’m scared. I don’t want to be rejected by him.”

“Then bear with it. Love him without asking anything in return. You don’t know, maybe if he’s not in love with you right now, someday he would realize he loves you too.”

“I don’t really know why this happens. I really thought I wouldn’t fall for that man. This isn’t part of the plan.”

“Well, that’s the thing about love. It comes at the most unexpected time. It can even betray you. It makes you out of your league. It ruins your plan.”
