What’s that? Oh, the marriage certificate. The one from three years ago.
Clarissa had not seen her marriage certificate in a long time and had almost forgotten that she was a married woman.
Of course, only Matthew and I know about this. Oh right, my part-time lawyer, Yael, and Tyson Corporation’s chief lawyer Hector too.
Clarissa’s mouth twitched.
“Matthew, do you carry your marriage certificate everywhere with you?”
The man in question raised his eyebrows as if to ask, “Is there a problem?”
However, she could not deny anything. No problem. Of course not.
Feeling somewhat guilty, she remained silent and avoided his gaze.
On the other hand, Joshua widened his eyes. “Is that a marriage certificate? Can I see it? I haven’t seen one before.”
Feeling helpless, Clarissa asked, “Is that your main focus, Joshua?”
Upon hearing her words, he came back to his senses and quickly composed himself.
“Oh, right, that’s not the point. But the point is, Rissa, he really is your husband. I don’t really want to provoke him, so I’d better quit first.”
He’s a good man who knows how to read the room.
Matthew smirked in satisfaction and looked over at Clarissa, but was she rolling her eyes at Joshua instead. How hopeless! He’s admitting defeat before he even tried. No wonder he can’t find a girlfriend.
Matthew put away the marriage certificate, then walked in and sat down, not the least bit looking as if he was there to care for a patient. He acted as if he was in his territory, his movements powerful and graceful.
“Clare, you’ve stayed here all night. You must be tired too. Go back and rest. I have a caretaker here anyway.”
However, she still had some anger left in her and wanted to vent it out. Yet, even though Matthew made it a point to come over, she would not let him off easily.
With a calm expression, she ignored Matthew, looking at Joshua as she said, “What do you want for breakfast? I’ll get it for you.”
Despite Clarissa’s “warm” concern, Joshua felt the air turn cold as a dangerous aura filled the surroundings. He had never felt that cold before.
He chuckled awkwardly, then said, “It’s fine. Let her go and buy it. I’ll eat anything.”
He then asked his caretaker to go and buy him some food.
However, it meant that only the three of them were left in the ward. Instantly, Joshua felt the air become more suffocating.
As long as Matthew was there, he felt as though he could not breathe properly.
Joshua would suffer from frostbite first before his
