Chapter 2041
Setting down his spoon, Matthew was slightly touched by Roxanne who came to his defense. This girl
has good moral values.
"Miss Roxanne, you're still in the recovery phase and should not get too worked up."
As Matthew spoke, Roxanne also realized that she had lost her temper, so she sat down obediently.
"I think you two have misunderstood. I only have a doctor-patient relationship with Miss Bane." Before
he could finish his sentence, he noticed a slightly aggrieved look beside him.
"Of course, we're also friends," he added, and the aggrieved look disappeared.
"I'm already a married man, and I have no ulterior motives toward Miss Bane. So, there's no need for
you to hold such great hostility toward me."
Upon learning that Matthew was already married, Roxanne paused her movements for a moment.
Then she closed her eyes with her eyelashes trembling and said nothing. But Tritus was instantly
agitated. He didn't expect that Matthew, who was close to his own age, was already married. Anyway, it
was good that Matthew was already married. No matter whether Roxanne had any special feelings for
Matthew or not, this statement completely quashed any possibility of them being together. Tritus had
the opportunity to get Roxanne now.
It would be fine if Tritus stopped indulging in his own fantasies at this point. Unfortunately, Tritus began
to suspect that Matthew might have surrendered on purpose because Matthew feared his reputation.
Thinking of this, Tritus felt like a rooster that had won a fight, proudly puffing out his chest.
At this very moment, due to Roxanne's outburst and Matthew's "surrender," the scene fell into an
awkward silence.
Isn't this the perfect opportunity to show off? "Waiter!" After Tritus gestured with a snap of his fingers, a
waiter hurried over. Then, Tritus whispered something to the waiter. Soon after, to everyone's surprise,
a large grand piano was pushed out by the restaurant staff. It was moved all the way to the table where
the four of them sat and then secured in place.
"Mr. Tritus, the piano you requested has arrived." Tritus nodded and got up from his seat. After
stretching himself, he sat down at the piano and played with his fingers moving in sync and his hands
crossing over each other. The clear sound of the piano filled the restaurant, and as his movements
became faster, the music became more passionate. Even the staff at Star Pavilion couldn't help but be
mesmerized.
"Wow, Mr. Tritus is so impressive. I never knew he could play the piano."
"Yeah, with his wealthy family background and multiple talents, he's the prince charming of my
dreams."
Naturally, Tritus overheard these praises and so he played even more ardently. When the music ended,
the audience erupted in applause. After bowing slightly, he then approached Roxanne.
"Miss Roxanne, in terms of looks, talents, and family background, I'm among the top ten in Bainbridge.
I don't understand why you don't like me, but I have genuine feelings for you."
He then took out a jewelry box from his pocket and opened it. Eleanor's eyes widened as she saw the
dreamcatcher necklace inside. It was the only top-grade gemstone necklace in the world and had been
sold at an auction a few years ago for 40 million to a wealthy buyer. She couldn't believe it was now in
Tritus' hands.
"Even though the necklace is just an object, I hope it can represent my heart. Will you accept it and be
my girlfriend?" Tritus asked, handing the necklace to Roxanne.
When he said this, Eleanor's breathing accelerated. She didn't even care that Roxanne had screamed
at her in anger earlier and urged anxiously, "Roxanne, hurry up and accept it. This is Mr. Tritus' heartfelt
gift, and only he can give such an expensive gift in the whole of Bainbridge."
However, Roxanne remained unmoved. At the moment, all she could hear were Matthew's declaration This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
in her head. He's already married!
