Chapter 23
The hotel had a gray glass wall and more than 30 floors. The whole building looked grand and high–end, which was very suitable for its positioning.
There were many cars coming and going in front of the hotel. Through the glass revolving door, people dressed fashionably and exquisitely came in and out of the hotel from time to time. Most of the customers were young men and women.
Nadia and Matthew had been married for so long, but they had never stayed at Gloraxy Hotel.
She had never even gone in to take a look.
She only knew that this hotel brand was the result of hour hard Matthew worked when he was in college.
While everyone was rejoicing and relaxing over the fact that they had successfully been admitted to college after taking the college entrance examination, and while everyone was busy playing games and dating or participating in club activities, Matthew had already devoted himself to his family business and built Clorasy Hotel. In just a few years, he had turned it into a world–class high–end hotel, which became the stepping stone for him to successfully become the current president of Gloraxy Group,
Before going overseas, Nadia had rarely seen Gloraxy Hotel anywhere. It was not because there were few of them, but because there were she stayed at home mostly in the past two years. She did not expect to see Clorasy Hotel in a foreign country she was not familiar with. The sight of it made her feel somewhat warm..
name
On the streets where everyone spoke in another language. Nadia had a sudden but very strange sense of closeness when she saw the familiar nar of Glorary Hotel, especially when this brand had once appeared in her life.
Nadia could not help but smile. Her anxiousness dissipated slightly because of the warmth in her heart. She could not help but walk towards the hotel
The security guards and receptionists at the parking lot outside the door were all from Gremone. When Nadia approached, the security guard said 16 her in fluent Gremonese, “Welcome”
“Thank you” Nadia replied with a smile. It was rare for her to
In hear
anyone speak Gremonese overseas. It was very heart–warming for Nadia. Nadia didn’t go in but just took a look inside. When she saw the familiar faces of Gremoners, she felt even more at home. It felt as if s home, and she couldn’t help but calm down a lot.
Seeing that she had no intention of going in, the security guard asked her with a smile, “Miss, are you looking for someone?
Nadia smiled and shook her head. “No, I am just passing by. I am just taking a look around.”
she was back
The security guard also smiled and said, “Miss, you
- You can:
n also go in and have a look. Our hotel has a free rest area and afternoon tea
Thanky you
but there’s no need Nadia refused with a smile. After saying goodbye to the security guard, she turned around and was about to leave. A black Cayenne slowly drove past her As the car drove by, Nadia glanced at the ear subconsciously and stopped in her tracks.
Matthew, who was in the driver’s seat, also turned around and his deep eyes met Nadia’s gaze. Their eyes met in mid–air,
Matthew looked calm. He glanced at her and slowly turned his eyes back to look at the front. He looked calm and distant. Nadia looked away calmly and continued to walk forward slowly.
Mathew looked into the rear–view mirror and saw that Nadia had already reached the intersection and was hailing a taxi. Matthew turned to look away, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards Nadia,
Nadia watched taxi drive by one after another, but none of them showed any intention of stopping.
The place she lived was not far from here. If it was in the past, she would have walked back home.
However, now that she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy, Nadia didn’t dare to walk too far, but she couldn’t hail a taxi. Nadia hesitated, checked her watch, and then looked up in the direction of her home. She wondered if she should walk back home directly. As she saw Matthew 10 suddenly, although she looked calm on the surface, she still felt a little shocked and didn’t want to stay there any longer, despite the fact that Matthew might have already entered the hotel a long time ago,
After hesitating for a moment, Nadia turned around and was about to leave. The familiar black Cayenne parked beside her suddenly, and the window was rolled down slowly. Matthew’s handsome face appeared in front of her through the window,
Where are you going?” he asked. His deep voice, which Nadia was so familiar with, was still as steady
it used to be in Nadia’s ears
Nada didnt undentand what was going on. She pointed in the direction of her home without thinking,
Ell drive you there,” Matthew said With a thick, the car iloot was malocked. “Get in the car.”
Naka refusest uuhout thinking. “No t’s just right ansund the couter”
Manhew repeated in a tone that left Nada no toon to refuse him, “Giet in the car”
His voice was still valim, but the imposing tone of his ver still teli Nadia intimidated. –
“There’s really no need” Nadia lowered her voice unconsciously. “It really is just around the comer”
Mathen responded by leasing or to open the door of the passenger seat and then looked at her, “Get in the car
Nadia was speechless, and glanced at him somewhat hesitantly.
Matthew daduturge her. He just looked at her patiently. It was as if he wouldn’t leave until she got in the car.
Nadia had always been sol–hearted and gentle. She had never lost her temper with Matthew. Even if they were to divorce, she never argued with hin. They had divorced on peaceful terms. Right now, Nuba really could not bring herself to refuse him. Under Matthew’s calin gaze, Nadia finally decided to compromise. She opened the car door and got into the car.
Matthew turned to look at her and asked, “Where do you live?
Nada pointed to the frees and told him her address
It was very close to here. In a few minutes, they ared and Matthew parked the car downstairs of her apartment.
Matthew looked around and then looked up at the apartment building. The environment was pretty good, and most importantly, the security there seemed unasworthy.
Nadia unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to express her gratitude for the ride. This is it. Thank you”
“You’re welkomne,” Matthew replied and unbuckled his seat belt to
Nadia did not know what Matthew meant by unbuckling his seat belt. She said without thinking. “You can just drop me off here. You should go back to work now.
After that, she pushed the door open and got out of the car
However, Matthew did not drive away as she asked him to. Instead, he opened the door and got out of the car too. He looked up at the apartment building and then looked at her.
“Do you live alone?” he asked.
Nadia nodded. “Yes, I’m living alone me
Tis the future. if she wanted to keep the child, she would have to hire a nanny and move to an apartment with two or three bedrooms.
Matthew frowned and glanced at her
er casually
Nadia was battled by his gaze,
“What’s wrong” Nadia asked.
“Nothing. Matthew Brock said, looking at her. “Can I go upstairs and have a look at your place?”
Nadia forced a smile. ‘I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Matthews asked. “Why not?”
Nadia didn’t know what to say,
She couldnt answer at once. She simply didn’t want to have too much to do with him.
Matthew was still looking at ber
was waiting for her answer.
“There’s only the two of us. I don’t think it’s appropriate. Nadis braced herself and replied. After saying that, she felt that her excuse was a little weird. After all, they had been married for two years and already knew each other very well.
Matthew looked at her and asked, “Are yo
* you married?”
Nadia shook her head in confusion. “No” She did not understand why Matthew would ask such a question.
Matthew asked again. Do you have a boyfriend?
Chapter 23
Nadia shook her head again in a daze. “No.”
Manhew said, “Then why is it not appropriate? You know I wouldn’t harm you.”
Once again. Nadia was rendered speechless.
Matthew reached out his hand to her. “Give me the ki
key
n
His words seemed to put her under a spell. By the time Nadia came back to her senses, she had already handed over the key to Matthew obediently. “Why are you here?” Nadia asked as she followed Matthew into the elevator, trying to break the awkward silence.
Matthew replied simply, “Business trip
Nadia said, “Oh
Then, there was another long silence.
Nadia was used to this kind of silence. She put her hands in the pockets of her coat casually and stood up straight, looking straight ahead calmly She was already able to completely ignore Matthew. To her surprise, Matthew suddenly glanced at her and asked, “Have you gotten used to living
Nadia was stunned for a moment and then nodded. “Yes, I’m quite used to it.”
Mathew nodded and didn’t say an
anything more.
The elevator stopped on the 15th floor where Nadia lived. Matthew reached out to block the elevator door and let her get o of the devator himself
out first before getting out
This was a habit of Matthew when the two of them were still a couple, just like when they crossed the road together, Matthew always stood on the side of the sidewalk near the road. When they were in the same car, he would open the door for her to get in first before going all the way over to the driver’s seat. Nadia didn’t know whether these were his usual gentlemanly habits or how he treated her specially. She never had a chance to chenpare how he treated her and someone else.
After coming out of the elevator, Matthew unlocked the door and entered the apartment. Nadia followed him, watching him turn on the lights and then look around the small single–bedroom apartment.
Marlia did not disturb Jun. She leaned against the wall and changed into her slippers,
Matthew happened to turn around and saw her get out of her flats. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
“Why are you wearing flats i remember that you don’t like to wear flats”
