Chapter 2037
Matthew leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in front of him as he quietly watched everything
going on. If he hadn't learned the hidden truth from Tritus' subordinates, he would have thought that
Tritus was a genuinely caring guy. After all, such meticulous arrangements were not something that just
anyone could do. But the fact was that from the beginning, Tritus' intentions were impure. In order to
prevent Matthew and Roxanne from dining together, he actually sent his subordinates to break
Matthew's limbs. With such a character, no matter how well-disguised Tritus was on the surface, it
would never be enough to cover up his filthy black heart.
At this point, Tritus, who had been waiting for a long time to say a few more romantic words, glanced
toward the crowd and suddenly saw Matthew.
It's him! I invited Roxanne out many times, but she rejected me every time. Yet today, Roxanne actually
took the initiative to invite Matthew to dinner. What is it about him that I can't compare to? In terms of
appearance... Matthew is indeed a bit more handsome than me. In terms of talent... Uh, it seems he is
a miracle doctor who has participated in the Holy Doctor Competition. But, but. How can a poverty-
stricken boy compare to me? The assets belonging to my Lullaby Family are worth at least trillions. And
I, Tritus Lullaby, am a strong competitor for the next head of the Lullaby Family. A mere miracle doctor
is nothing compared to me.
Thinking of this caused Tritus' anger to suddenly rise. His originally gentle smile also slowly faded. He
pointed a finger at Matthew and asked, "Roxanne, are you hesitating because of him?"
Following Tritus' direction, Roxanne noticed Matthew who had already arrived. Since Matthew came
this time with a request for the other party, he made a special effort to dress a little more formally in
order to show respect. With his already impressive looks enhanced by a subtle makeover, he became
even more handsome. His laid-back suit only added to his unmistakable individualistic and self-assured
demeanor. Even the usually critical Eleanor couldn't help but admit that Matthew was excessively
handsome.
Looking at the other person's deep pupils, Roxanne clearly showed a hint of panic. Immediately she
regained her composure and shook her head lightly. Then, she replied calmly, "No, it's not because of
him!"
Although she reacted quickly, the momentary change in her expression was still noticed by Tritus. It
added fuel to his inner fire!
"Why did you invite him to dinner, then?"
"To thank him for saving my life. Besides, this is my private matter. Tritus, don't you think you're being
too nosy?" With a furrowed brow, Roxanne replied coldly. She was moved by Tritus' meticulous and
romantic preparation, so if he had persisted a little longer and said a few more moving words, she
might have agreed in a moment of heat. However, Tritus' personality was too domineering and hasty.
Now that Roxanne had calmed down, she also came to her senses. Sure enough, habits were hard to
change. All the words he had just said were false promises. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
However, the man himself had no sense of awareness at all. When Tritus saw Roxanne's icy gaze at
him, he stood up and was about to continue questioning her when Eleanor suddenly cleared her throat.
The two locked eyes and the latter secretly shook her head with a glance at Roxanne. It wasn't until
now that Tritus calmed down.
Right, Matthew helped Roxanne cure her terminal illness. Treating him to dinner is just a normal thing
to do. I was just being jealous and lost my mind. Calm down. There's still room to make things right.
Immediately, Tritus quickly restored his gentle smile. "Roxy, sorry. I was just too hasty. I was worried
about you being deceived by others."
Behind him, Eleanor also stepped forward to help. "Yes, Roxy. You know your illness has been going
on for so long without anyone being able to cure it. It's hard to believe that you've recovered all of a
sudden. If I hadn't witnessed it first hand, I wouldn't have believed it."
With Eleanor's advice, Roxanne's expression improved slightly.
