She tried to hug him, but Matthew ducked with a disgusted expression.
Vivien’s arms froze in the air.
Matthew stepped back and glanced at her coldly.
“What are you doing here?” he asked in an unfriendly tone.
Vivien dropped her arms and smiled again. She held up the lunch box and said, “I heard you were returning today, so I asked your mother to teach me how to make your favorite food. You must be hungry, right?”
The gloom on Matthew’s face deepened. He shook his head disappointedly and warned sternly, “Stop going to see my mother.”
He knew how his mother was.
Despite facing a lot of hardships for more than half her life, Amara was still a softie. He feared that she would fall for Vivien’s sweet words and acting.
A long time ago, Amara forced him to go on a date with Vivien.
It took only one date for him to realize that he couldn’t be with a woman like Vivien. They didn’t even click at all.
From that day, he classified who she was to him.

She was an acquaintance because she saved his mother, and nothing else.
Seeing that Matthew was staring daggers at her, Vivien pouted and said with feigned remorse, “Matthew, I know I was out of line last time. My anger got the best of me. It wasn’t until later on that I realized what I had done. I’m sorry for acting so irrationally. Can you let it go, okay?”

Matthew remained silent.
Vivien shimmied like a spoiled child and continued, “I know you only just got back, but I have been waiting here for hours. Since I already apologized sincerely, can you forgive me, please? I promise I won’t do that again.”
Matthew rubbed his temples before looking at Vivien with a calm expression.
“Let me make this clear for the last time, Vivien. I’m super grateful that you saved my mother’s life. For that, I’ll do anything I can to help you, but that’s about it. Don’t show up in front of me if you have nothing to discuss about work. You know the paparazzi are thirsty. If they take pictures of us together, it will cause unnecessary issues.”
“Matthew, I-“
“Take the food with you. I don’t want it.”
Without giving her a listening ear further, Matthew shouldered past her and walked into his house.
Vivien felt as if a sharp knife had just been driven into her heart.
Her body shook and her breathing became shaky.
She stared at the closed door as if Matthew had just shut his heart to her again.
Still unwilling to give up, Vivien clenched the lunch box.
