Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted-Chapter 52: Stay Away From Me!

His breath was very short hearing his wife’s hurtful words suddenly even though yesterday they had intended to start their relationship from the beginning. What actually caused his wife to suddenly change her mind? Did he make his wife angry again? Was the cause now that his wife’s stepmother scolded her severely because their relationship was exposed?

Now Matthias wanted to throw his thoughts far away. He tried to think of a way to make his wife’s heart melt for him again. He sat on the sofa next to his wife, while touching her hand.

"Is it because your parents don’t approve of our relationship that you suddenly act like this?"

Victoria felt like she wanted to let out her tears again because her husband’s guess was right on target. Now she was more convinced that Fransisca’s previous words were true. Matthias had deliberately returned to this city after being assigned to work abroad for two years just to meet her again. However, because their relationship had improved again, now the problem was getting bigger.

She forced herself to put on an angry expression even though she didn’t want to curse her husband anymore. "No. I decided to keep my distance so that you wouldn’t be too overbearing towards me again. I didn’t want to marry you from the start."

"Then, what about yesterday’s date?"

"Of course I think of it as just my fault and I did lose my mind yesterday." In the end, she couldn’t hold back her tears that continued to flow heavily remembering the sweet moments they had all day yesterday.

"Victoria..." His right thumb wiped his wife’s wet eyelids. "Okay, I won’t stop you from hating me because I know you can’t possibly like me quickly just because I’ve been treating you sweetly lately. But, I can’t hate you."

"This is what makes me want to hate you even more. Even though I have insisted on keeping my distance from you. But you are still stubborn. Why do you... always let yourself be hurt by me?"

Matthias kept his sweet smile. His conversation with his stepmother today was full of lies. He was not interested in marrying anyone, because he still wanted to maintain his marriage with the woman he loved the most.

"I never felt hurt because of you. I never hated you either even though there were many problems in our relationship."

"Matthias..."

"For now I want to leave you alone because I have no right to accompany you anymore. I will still carry out my role as your contract husband."

"Then just treat me as a contract wife! Not as a real wife!"

"Do you think I will be able to do it?"

"What?"

"I will still ask you out tomorrow night. We promised before."

Victoria folded her arms. "What if I don’t want to?"

"I won’t force you. But, I will still wait for you at the location I gave you earlier. If you want to meet me tomorrow night, of course I will definitely not keep you waiting."

If Matthias really said this, it made her feel even more guilty and helpless. Should she go on a date with Matthias tomorrow night? She had actually wanted to go on a date with her husband since yesterday, but the current situation made it impossible for them to go on a date as much as they wanted. She was worried that someone would witness their togetherness secretly.

"Okay, if I break my promise, it’s not my fault. But, it’s you who keeps forcing yourself until I keep feeling guilty!"

The next day, Victoria’s mood worsened seeing the comments of the haters who continued to attack her non-stop. She actually wanted to hire a reporter to write a clarification article, but she didn’t have the strength to do it. Now all she could do was reflect on herself while staring blankly out the window. Even though tomorrow was a very special day in her life, she actually got into big trouble.

Staring at his partner’s face that had been gloomy since work in the morning, Louis also showed a restless face because he was worried that his partner would go even crazier because of this serious problem. Actually, he was also angry at Matthias for not being able to help solve all these problems even though all of this was also Matthias’ fault for being too soft on his enemy.

"By the way Victoria, don’t you want to have a snack on the cupcake Matthias gave you?"

Victoria’s eyes fell on the large box filled with cupcakes of various flavors. She sighed lazily as she handed the box of cupcakes to Louis. "You finish them all."

"But, Matthias has bought these cupcakes with great difficulty for you. Moreover, these cupcakes are all your favorites."

"Louis, if I don’t want to eat this cupcake, you have no right to force me to finish it. I don’t have an appetite right now."

"Victoria..."

"Moreover, Matthias gave me this cupcake as a business partner, not as my husband. So, I also have the right to share this cupcake with you."

Louis pulled his chair closer to his partner. "Victoria, as your partner and best friend, I advise you not to hold a grudge against Matthias. The article on the internet was not entirely his fault."

In another office building, a snake woman read the article with an evil laugh while spinning her chair. Meanwhile, her assistant could only press her lips tightly together because she was confused about what to say about this problem.

"I wonder how Victoria will react when she sees all the mean comments she makes."

"By the way, I’m actually curious. Why did you go this far? Even though this article has an impact on you."

"I don’t mind. In fact, I want their relationship to be destroyed in an instant because of this strange article. Victoria doesn’t deserve to marry Matthias. Because both parties’ parents didn’t approve of their relationship from the start."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Now I just want to see their relationship slowly fall apart. After all, this is payback for Victoria ruining my brother’s good name before."
