Chapter 40 - 40: Three years

"Come here Ella, do you know how hard it was for me to move on? The worse, I couldn\'t eat because you took the rice cooker," anyone would find it ridiculous that the two were arguing over a rice cooker but, Matthew\'s crimsoned face showed how angry he was.

"It was Robert\'s rice cooker. You have seen him, he\'s giant and I need to return it!" Daniella replied, cowardly hiding behind Evan like a mouse.

"You should have bought him a new one," with his face wrinkling in annoyance, he ran towards her.

Daniella immediate ran away, she stood by the stairs while Matthew was a few meters away from her.

She pointed a finger at him, "Why didn\'t you buy one. And why are you acting like this? It\'s just a rice cooker"

Her feet walked upstairs; she takes a step every time Matthew moves closer.

"Because you broke up with me."

He said angrily.

Daniella paused for a moment, her face – partially paling suddenly dimmed.

"you know me, Matthew. I don\'t – I don\'t do relationship," Daniella shook her head, she cares about Matthew so much, so much that she doesn\'t want to hurt him. If he finds out about her, he might also run away like James.

"I know that but do you really have to send me a breakup voicemail? And the worse is, you didn\'t even cook my breakfast before leaving," his nose wrinkled, remembering that morning, the day after Daniella had finally said yes to him, he woke up with a voicemail on his phone.

(I\'m sorry Matthew but I cant) that\'s all she said in the voicemail.

For days, he wondered what does she meant by she can\'t, she can\'t cook? Clean the house or she can\'t be with him.

After some months, he finally realized and accepted, that she\'s not coming back.

"Come here Ella," he stood with one hand resting on his h.i.p.s while the other was waving at her to come closer, suppressing his anger.

Daniella sighed, knowing Matthew, every time she does something he doesn\'t like, he always pinches her cheeks until tears shimmer in her eyes.

As she hardly bit on her lower lips, her feet marched towards him.

And when she reached him, Matthew happily stretched his shoulder, shaking his hands while his body was lightly jumping like a boxer preparing for a fight.

Daniella\'s face flattened, she blew her cheeks and waited for Matthew.

Matthew sneered, he placed both hands on each of her cheeks and eagerly pinches them.

Just like a bun, Matthew squashed her cheeks, his hands moved in a forward circular motion and laughed with satisfaction after hearing Daniella groaning with pain.

She looks like a kid getting bullied in his eyes, her small figure and round face are the reason why he adores her.

"What are you two doing" suddenly, Evan\'s voice spoke from Matthew\'s back.

Without looking back, Matthew said, "Oh! This is her punishment, we used to live together in London and every time she does something wrong, I always pinch her cheek," saying that, his hand tightened its grip on Daniella\'s cheeks.

Daniella wanted to cry, her body could feel the pain from her cheeks but, she held herself from crying by biting her lips.

Her eyebrows wrinkled when Matthew stretched her cheeks, she gulped hard, preventing herself from groaning.

When Matthew let her cheeks go, they were red like tomatoes, his fingers were imprinted on it like someone has stamped a fingermark on it.

Daniella gently caressed her crimson cheeks while glaring at him.

"Do you really have to do that?" Daniella barked at Matthew.

Matthew sneered, after lifting a hand, he wrapped it over Daniella\'s shoulder and dragged her out of the house.

"I am living next door. Let me show you my house," he excitedly said like a boy showing his favorite toy.

On the other side, the elders were stunned, eyes blinked with confusion as they stared at their grandson Evan who was left standing alone near the stairs – face dimming indifferently.

"Evan, Selena\'s babysitter is Matthew\'s ex-girlfriend?" the elder woman got up and walked towards her grandson with confusion.

Evan\'s face darkened, seeing how easy it was for Matthew to touch Daniella, and how she didn\'t remove his arms has made him pissed off.

With his lips pressing tightly, Evan clenched his fist.

"I don\'t know Grandma," saying that coldly, Evan turned around.

Evan rushed towards the study room, he took Daniella\'s folder in the drawer under his table and flipped it open.

He focused his eyes at the names on the list, there are so much that it started to give him a headache.

But Matthew\'s name was not in there, he sighed, thinking how could they be so close.

As he anxiously tapped his fingers on the table, Evan used this other hand to dial a number.

Calling his right-hand man, Mark Adam, Evan took in a deep sigh.

Shortly Mark answered and without greeting him, Evan spoke coldly.

"I just found out that my cousin Matthew was one of Ms. Chen\'s ex, why is he not on the list?"

"Mr.Su, your cousin is not Ms. Chen ex based on my investigation but, they lived together for three years."

For a moment, Evan felt his soul living his body.

(Three years?)

Evan gulped hard, without knowing, his hand had ended the call.

He fell deeply in his thought, breathing hardened as he thought of Daniella.

Three years of living? Why Matthew was not on the list? Did they have a secret relationship? As he thought of it, his teeth were nibbling his lips, his senses only came back after feeling a bitter taste on his tongue.

He blinked, realizing that he bit his lips so hard it started bleeding.

He harshly wiped it with his finger, nose wrinkling in irritation as he smashed the small lamp on his table.
