Rose looked at the bitterness in Matthew's eyes, and before she could say anything, Matthew said,
"Well, I'd better send you home, so that Mr. Lee won't worry."
"He's not in City H." After Bright took Rose to the hospital this morning, he went straight to the airport.
"Is he back to City J? Or on business?" asked Matthew.
"He went abroad." Rose looked at the neon in the distance. "He went abroad to find a brain specialist
for my grandfather."
Matthew was silent for a second. "Mr. Lee is so filial. Your grandfather would be fine."
"Yes, Grandpa will be all right." Rose cheered herself up. "Come on, let's find somewhere else to have
a chat."
Matthew was a bit surprised, and Rose added, "I think of a place we could go."
"Good." So they left together.
Rose gave directions, Matthew drove the car. They parked the in the public parking lot and then walked
down a quaint alley by the river to a beef noodle restaurant called Granny's Noodle House.
"The beef noodles here are very delicious." Rose sat down at a wooden square table by the river, and
Matthew sat down beside her.
Rose asked Matthew for his advice and said to the owner, "Miss, two bowls of beef noodles; one is
medium and the other is large."
"Miss Linder, wait a minute." The owner was a middle-aged woman always wearing a smiling face.
"It seems that you are a regular guest." Matthew said.
"Well, my grandma used to bring me here for noodles, and I remember the taste all the time. This is the
first time I have eaten noodles here." Rose gave a pair of chopsticks to Matthew. "Let's talk about you."
Matthew took the chopsticks and put them away, hesitating Finally, he said, "I thought my mother came
to see us because she missed her grandchild, but I didn't expect her to come with Velina."
"That day she and Velina cooked a lot of dishes together. My mother opened the red wine. I did not
drink much but I got dizzy, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself and Velina lying on the
same bed, with nothing on.
My mother came in and saw us naked, and then she asked me to be responsible for Velina, who kept
crying. I knew it very well that I had never touched Velina. How could I feel nothing if such a thing really
happened? Besides, I'm not a bad drinker. How could I have the strength to do such a thing if I passed
out?"
"But my mother didn't listen to my explanation. She just wanted me to marry Velina. She even
threatened me by jumping off the building. I would be responsible for what I have done, otherwise, I
don't want to be at the mercy of anyone."
"So I moved out of the house and went to a hotel, so my Mom couldn't find me, but they ran into me in
a restaurant today. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Matthew spoke out all his feelings in his heart in one breath, and suddenly felt much lighter.
"What about Wyatt?" Rose was worried.
"I asked my assistant to take him to the hotel. He's accompanied, you can rest assured." Matthew
sighed slightly.
Two bowls of beef noodles have been served to them, "Miss Linder, sir, enjoy yourselves."
Matthew looked worried. "If I had known my mother came to force me to marry Velina, I shouldn't have
been so careless. I can't prove my innocence now. They won't believe anything I say."
Rose mixed the noodles in the bowl. "I believe you are not such a person."
"Really? You believe me?" Matthew's dark eyes flashed with light, and felt very moved. At least there
was one person in the world who believed in him, and he felt it was worth it.
"You have a good character. I believe in you as a friend." Rose affirmed again, "Just like you believed
in me back then."
Matthew believed in her character when others were gossiping about her.
She believed in him now, as he had done before.
"Thank you, Rose." Matthew raised the tea to toast to Rose.
Rose picked up the glass and toasted back. "Have some noodles."
Matthew took a big bite. "It is delicious."
Rose smiled and ate her own noodles. When they had eaten enough, Rose took a sip of water. "Do
you ever think that you need to reconstruct a family, you need someone to take care of you and Wyatt,
and Wyatt needs a mother?"
"I think Miss Velina is kind at heart. She was just incited by your mother, or maybe she loves you and
wants to have a try. Can't you just give her a chance and give yourself a chance? Or are you going to
stay single?"
"Chance is for a woman who can catch my heart. I have to like that woman before I marry her. And if
she loves me, she would be kind Wyatt." Matthew still had some expectations in his heart. "What's the
point of getting married if I just make do it with it? I just don't want to make do with marriage."
"You... Haven't you gotten over Wyatt's mother?" Rose asked tentatively, holding the cup.
Matthew drank the water in one gulp and put it on the table. "I have moved on."
"The you can start your new life. If you don't accept Miss Velina, you can try to meet someone else. It's
not the best way to live with Wyatt alone." Rose advised Matthew.
When you really forgot someone, you would never remember her or mention her.
"I will try." Matthew pulled out his wallet to foot the bill.
Rose did not scramble with him for the bill, then Matthew took Rose home.
Nanny had already put Doris to sleep. Rose went to Doris's room, looked at Doris's sleeping face and
kissed her on the face. Seeing her face similar to Bright's, she began to miss him.
In the dead of night, miss became especially strong.
The next morning, Rose took Doris to school and went to the hospital to be with her grandfather.
She brought him wontons today, and he liked them very much. She cooked 30 pieces of wontons for
grandpa, and he ate them all, not even leaving the soup.
"Grandpa, take it slowly. If you like it, I will make another for you."
"Do you remember your grandmother used to make this for us when you were little? It reminds me of
your grandmother." Grandfather was a little sad. "Your grandmother has been out there alone for so
many years. She must be lonely."
Of course, Rose remembered that. When she was a child, her grandma made the wontons by herself,
and she could eat a whole of 15 to 20 pieces.
"Grandpa, I'll wash the dishes." Rose took the bucket to the bathroom to clean it, but she felt like a
grain of sand in her eyes.
It seemed that... there were other meanings in his words.
When she washed the dishes, she was surprised to see a man.
