Victoria had suspected that the accident she had two years ago was no ordinary accident. However, could Matthias' words really be trusted? What if the real culprit was Matthias? Would she really fall into the trap of the game created by Matthias?
Now she could only act like usual so that Matthias could not guess what was on her mind at the moment. Whether Matthias really loved her or not, what was certain was that she was also curious about what happened to her in the past.
"Matthias, are you sure I was really murdered? Do you have any proof?"
"Actually, I just found out too. At first I didn't know why you suddenly disappeared from me after we registered our marriage. I thought you really ran away from me due to the instigation of your stepfamily."
Now Victoria understands the reason why Matthias did not take the initiative to look for her for two years. In fact, what actually happened was that he had an accident and was in a coma for several months. Even at that time her entire body could barely move due to the severe injuries she suffered. Fortunately, she did not have any broken bones, it was just that she did not remember anything. However, can Matthias really be trusted?
"I still won't forgive you for neglecting me all this time." Her eyes looked around with a sparkling gaze. "Because the interior of your house suits my taste, I try to give my heart to you. But it will take a long time."
A bright smile appeared on his face. He immediately held his wife's hand and then walked up the stairs to a room.
The room was quite spacious and provided a double bed. Although the guest room facilities were quite adequate, of course Victoria did not want to be easily discouraged. For some reason when she entered this room, she felt very familiar and as if she had often stayed in this luxurious house. Even though this was her first time.
"The interior of this room is quite good. I didn't expect you to be good at designing houses."
"Didn't you design this house yourself back then?" Matthias' eyes narrowed.
"Me?"
"You used to help me design the interior of this house. I remember you were very fussy whenever I disagreed with your opinion."
Victoria folded her arms. "Can you be trusted?"
"If you don't believe me, you can look at your client list from two years ago. You can see my name or my company name."
This is what made Victoria even more distrustful. As far as she could remember, she had studied the client records two years ago when she had just recovered. However, there was no name of Matthias or his company listed on the client list. Could it be that Matthias was now deceiving her?
"Really? I'll check later." Victoria smiled happily looking at the interior design of this house that made her even more addicted. She was sure that she would be comfortable living here just because of the interior design of the house, not because of the love that Matthias gave her.
Matthias also felt awkward dealing with his wife who was too sweet in his eyes. He still tried to act a little indifferent to his wife to test whether she would remember everything. Because as far as he could remember, when they first met, his attitude was so cold that it made Victoria uncomfortable being around him. However, as time went by, he decided not to act cold because the warm treatment Victoria gave him at that time made him fall in love.
"By the way, would you like to look around the other rooms?" Matthias asked awkwardly.
"No need."
"Are you sure? You have never visited this house?"
Victoria folded her arms. "I'm not a child who needs to be served by adults. Surely I can navigate this house without your help."
For a moment, Matthias stared at the luxurious watch on his left wrist while his gaze fell on his wife's ring finger, which was now without the ugly engagement ring.
"Thank goodness you ended your relationship with your fiancé."
Victoria immediately hid her right hand behind her back. "Your eyes are really sharp when it comes to things like this!"
"I thought you couldn't bear to break off your engagement. Especially since you seem to love her very much."
"Seeing you like this, I'm sure your side job is stalking."
"I just got back to this city, but you're already accusing me of being a stalker."
drrt…drrt…
Suddenly Matthias felt his phone vibrate in his jacket pocket. Looking at the name of the person who was calling him now was his mother, he immediately picked up the phone with a lazy expression.
"Mom, should I visit you now? I'm busy!"
"You naughty kid! What are you doing on this holiday?!"
Matthias rolled his eyes as he looked at his wife. "Okay, I'll visit you guys now."
Matthias ended the phone call immediately. Actually, he was very lazy to meet his mother when he was alone with his wife. Moreover, now was the right moment to spend time with his wife, he was forced to postpone it.
"Victoria, I'm sorry I have to go out for a while. I actually wanted to ask you to accompany me too, but I'm sure my mother wouldn't want to welcome you."
Victoria let go of her husband's hand and put on a cold expression. "I don't want to meet your family after your family and you made my stepfamily miserable!"
"But, actually I–"
"I don't want to hear any more explanation from you! You better go see your family immediately before they suspect you!"
*****
Matthias was forced to meet his mother with an angry heart. If his mother knew that he and Victoria were back together again, he was very sure that their marriage would not be approved again like before. Likewise, he still hated Victoria's stepfamily who had caused his family's company group quite a lot of harm.
Matthias entered a house that was much larger than his with a straight face. His guess was that his mother wanted to match him with another woman. He was so sick of his life being controlled by his mother.
"Mom, if you arrange another blind date for me, I won't accept it!"
The mother smiled sarcastically as she threw a few photos on the table. "Then, can you explain this to me?"
