Chapter 184 Have You Fallen For Me
Matthew, with his head bowed low, gazed at Aurelia in his arms. “Have you fallen for me?” he asked.
Aurelia’s back stiffened immediately, subtly increasing the distance between herself and Matthew.
Over the past couple of days, her relationship with Matthew…
She also distinctly felt herself starting to fall for him. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was hard for many women to remain unaffected when Matthew was involved.
However, recalling their initial marriage registration and the recent agreement, she gazed at the sunset not far away. “We agreed not to talk about love, didn’t we? I’ve always kept that in mind.”
Upon hearing those words, the depth of Matthew’s eyes seemed to darken further, his thin lips gradually losing their hint of a smile. “Indeed,” he agreed, “we don’t talk about love between us.
Aurelia’s curled eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling as if a part of her heart was being tugged at, causing a wave of pain to wash over her.
She discreetly took a deep breath, putting on a facade of tranquility.
In that fleeting moment, the distance between them, which had once been close, was stretched once again.
The boat swiftly returned to the dock.

After docking at the pier, the pair got into a car and returned to their hotel. They had their dinner delivered to them by the hotel staff.
After taking a bath, Matthew changed into casual clothes. While he was putting on Aurelia walked out of the bathroom.
his wristwatch,
Matthew glanced at Aurelia, his tone nonchalant as he said, “I’m heading to the hospital.”
Aurelia nodded. “All right.”
Gently, she patted her hair dry with a towel.
When Matthew left, Aurelia glanced at the closed door.
Then, she casually shifted her gaze away, picking up the hairdryer to blow–dry her hair.
Twenty minutes later.
At the hospital.
Zoe was engrossed in the encouraging messages her classmates had sent her on her phone.

To her, the concern and greetings from these people weren’t
The person she desired to see the most was Matthew.
But…
Matthew went out to sea with Aurelia today; maybe he won’t come to see her anymore.
Stella, the caregiver, was diligently taking care of everything nearby.
She glanced at Stella. “I’ll be resting shortly at this time. You should go take a break.”
“No need. I’ll leave once you’ve fallen asleep.” The caregiver was rather fond of the young girl in front of her. Having heard that the girl’s parents were no longer around, she felt an even greater urge to take care of her.
Zoe sweetly voiced her thanks.
The caretaker chuckled. “If my future daughter–in–law can be as thoughtful and adorable as you, Ms. Souza, it would be wonderful!”
From a young age, Zoe knew how to interact with people. No matter who she encountered, she always greeted them with a pleasant demeanor and approachable attitude. She smiled sincerely and said, “You’re a kind person, so your wishes are bound to come true.”
“Hahaha, very well, I’ll take your words of good luck,” replied the caretaker, who then became even more diligent in her tidying up.
She might indeed end up with a sensible and understanding daughter–in–law in the future!
Just then, Matthew entered the hospital room.
Upon hearing the laughter coming from the sickroom, Matthew’s expression softened slightly.
The moment Matthew appeared, the caretaker immediately became tense. There was an inherent aura of authority about Ms. Souza’s elder brother that demanded respect, making her, a woman who had lived for a good part of her life, dare not meet his gaze directly.
“Matthew!”
Upon seeing Matthew, Zoe was overwhelmed with excitement.
Had she not undergone surgery, which prevented her from making rash movements, she would have undoubtedly thrown herself into his arms!
However, she quickly suppressed the thought that had just surfaced. He didn’t like being too close to people, even to her who he had watched grow up. He didn’t appreciate intimacy, such as wrapping arms around each other or hugging. It was simply not his style.
She had once embraced him, only to be scolded by him as a result.

the same manner, her feelings changed.
Especially that Angela, who had previously been trying every possible way to get close to Matthew. She publicly claimed to be good friends with Matthew and even tried to use Timothy to closer to him. But what was the result? In Matthew’s eyes, Angela was no different from a get stranger.
She, on the other hand, was very important to Matthew, and he would take care of many things for her.
She had the freedom to choose the major she loved without any reservations.
“How do
you
feel today?”
After reaching the bedside, Matthew began to inquire.
“I feel much better today. I heard from Gordon that you and Aurelia went out to sea. Did you have a good time?” Zoe asked, pretending to look envious.
How she yearned to be the one sailing out to sea with him!
Matthew gave a noncommittal hum, his demeanor turning somewhat heavy, likely recalling something unpleasant.
He didn’t mention his feelings about sailing again.
Zoe, with her keen intuition, had picked up on some subtle indications.
Could it be that they had an argument?
Did the day not go well?
She blinked, her face filled with anticipation and envy. “I haven’t been to the sea with you yet. Can you take me out to sea once I’ve recovered?”
“There will be opportunities in the future, but it’s getting late now, time to rest,” replied Matthew, his tone indifferent.
Usually, Matthew was a man of few words, but today, Zoe could distinctly feel an unusual cold indifference radiating from him.
He had slightly restrained himself in her presence, yet she could still sense his mood was off that day.
Normally, she wasn’t a particularly curious person, but in that moment, she couldn’t help but feel
a bit curious.
“Is something bothering you, Matthew? Is there something you want to talk about?” Zoe hurriedly stopped Matthew, who was about to leave.
Matthew came to a halt.
Chapter 184 Have You Fallen For Me
He looked back at Zoe. “There’s nothing to worry about, go to sleep.”
Then, he strode out of the sickroom.
Zoe stared blankly at the closed door, unable to resist biting her red lip.
The caretaker had just managed to regain her composure.

Upon noticing that Zoe’s complexion wasn’t quite right, a wave of concern washed over her as she asked, “Ms. Souza, is everything all right?”
Zoe shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
She secretly tightened his grip.
”
After leaving the hospital, Matthew returned to the hotel.
He didn’t walk into the hotel, just stood at the entrance.
He lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling around him, casting his facial features in a somewhat stark light.
He cast a glance at the hotel.
Suddenly, a cold chuckle escaped his lips.
At last, it all became clear to him.
There was a line that he himself found surprisingly indistinct, feeling an urge to cross over it.
He would never fall for Aurelia.
It can only be said that they were indeed in perfect harmony when they were in bed.
A few minutes later.
Aurelia distinctly felt Matthew’s return. She had only fallen asleep when, in her half–awake,
half–asleep state, she sensed Matthew getting into bed.
In her half–asleep, half–awake state, she realized that Matthew wasn’t holding her in his sleep like he used to.
There was a distance of one person between them.
This was the distance deliberately created by Matthew
Suddenly, Aurelia found herself sobering up.
A thought surged into her mind. Perhaps her excessive closeness to him these past few days had sparked his annoyance.

As she drifted off to sleep, she had no idea how much time had passed when she suddenly felt what seemed like a firm chest pressing against her back.
