Daniella patiently blinked her eyes as Matthew continued on pressing his hands on her cheeks.
She promised herself that she will try to suppress her anger but Matthew seemed to be in the mood of ruining her major plan.
Matthew smiled wickedly at Daniella. He recently noticed the changed of her attitude. She's always calm and patience, something he did not see or experience since he met her.
He retreated his hands holding her cheeks and shoved it in his pockets with the suspicion on his face.
"Am I handsome?" he asked.
Daniella bit her lips and took in another long breath. Matthew has asked the same question six times, it was alright at first but Daniella just could not answer the same question all the time.
So she gulped hard and folded her hands together. If it was before, she would just smash a vase to his head but if she wanted to be part of Evan's circle, she needed to stop acting like a tug and the perfect person to practice her patience was no other than Matthew Su, her very annoying ex-boyfriend.
"You are Matthew so can I please go now? I need to bring Selena to school."
But Matthew was determined to break her patience.
"Am I more handsome than your fiancé?"
Daniella smiled at him, her mind was urging her to grab an axe and slice him into half.
"Matthew please, you are twenty-four years old. It's not proper to ask your future cousin in law if you are more handsome than her fiancé."
Pouting his lips, a look of dissatisfaction registered on Matthew's face.
"Just answer it," he stomped both feet like a small sulking kid.
Realizing that Matthew will not stop no matter how much she begged, Daniella shut her eyes for a second.
"Fine," she blew out a harsh breathe, she knew every well that Matthew will only stop if she gave an answer that his ears wanted to hear, "you are Matthew. You are more handsome and more annoying than Evan."
Satisfied with her answer, Matthew nodded his head and moved aside to let her pass. As Daniella walked slowly past her, Matthew's face gloomed.
"Then why did you leave me, Daniella?"
That voice, she had never heard him so serious, Daniella froze. Matthew has always been cheerful something she liked about him. His face showed his real emotion, there was nothing so fake about him. If he's feeling happy, it will be visible in his face and if he's sad it will show as well and right now, as she stared at his face, she realized that the pain she caused him was still inside of him.
Slowly, she reached for his hand. Her heart ached and regretted using him. He was not even part of her plan. He was just the right person to live in with after her break up with James Park.
She took advantage of his feelings for her. Used him and then left him without a proper break-up. They were friends for three years and in a relationship for a day. She left him because she felt that her heart was slowly melting for him.
"I am sorry," she said sincerely. She didn't even remember if she apologized to him.
"I need an explanation, Daniella. Why do you think I stick around here?" his voice remained low and full of pain.
She let out a shaky breath and gripped his hands.
"I left because I love you."
And those words made Matthew speechless. He blinked repeatedly in shock. One thing he will never expect Daniella would say was that she loves him or did love him.
When his mind finally recovered from the shock he laughed in disbelief. He shook his head while resting both hands on his hips.
"Then tell me, why are you wearing my cousin's ring and not mine?" his voice sounded bitter and Daniella felt even more guilty.
"first of all, you didn't give me a ring. Second, my life was really a mess so I left. I don't want to put your life in danger so-"
"That's just bullsh*t Ella," he said angrily interrupting her. He had never raised a voice on her but her reasons were making his blood boil.
"don't you think I can't protect you? I might not know who you are but I know that you are not a simple woman," his chest rose and fell in with rapid breathing, "what about Evan? Why did you choose to stay with him and not with me?"
Hearing his name, Daniella's guilt slowly fades away.
"I realized that I should not run. I don't want to make the same mistake I did with you that's why I am doing my best to make sure that Evan and his family will not get harm by the people that are after me," she released his hands and raised her chin to meet his eyes, "can you forgive me?"
The way her face flashed that guilty look, Matthew's heart gripped. He started to question himself why did he even bring out that topic. It has been so long since they broke up. He realized that he should be happy for her. So, he removed all the painful thoughts in his mind by shaking his head and smiled genuinely at her.
"It's alright Ella. I apologize for lashing out on you. I hope you understand that I just really need a closure."
Daniella's eyes softened, she felt satisfied to know that Matthew understood her situation. He was one of her real friends even though he didn't know her real past.
"Now that I know I am more handsome than my cousin and you used to love me I am going rent a billboard in the city, probably the biggest one and advertise my face," he massaged his chin while looking up at the ceiling.
"I am going to write, the man that surpassed Evan Su. The most handsome man on earth. Matthew Su."
While Matthew was in deep thought dreaming about his impossible popularity, Daniella decided to leave. She rushed to the stairs not giving a glance back, afraid that Matthew will find a new topic to talk.
She needed to prepare for the weekend. Evan has not told his grandparents and parents about their engagement and he planned to announce it this weekend, during the dinner that they had postponed after he was shot.
As she strode along the hallway, her hand lifted to touch her chest it was pounding normally. Her mind just like Matthew imagined her life as Evan's wife. She might not be familiar with his business friends but she knew that she needed to make sure that she won't embarrass Evan.
