“Clare, you…”

A strange expression crossed Ellie’s face as she pointed at Clarissa’s body.

Puzzled, she lowered her head before she let out a loud shriek.

“Argh!”

Clarissa screamed as she dashed into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Ellie could not help but chuckle softly. When she met Matthew’s dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

“Don’t mind her, Uncle Matt. Clare is always in a daze when she wakes up.”

Why would I mind?

Matthew strode into the room and sat on the sofa. While his slender fingers fidgeted, the image of the woman’s snowy and long legs kept appearing in his mind. Her fair skin was enough to make one’s heart race.

“Uncle Matt, I’m already an adult, so I’m fine on my own. I’m just here to visit Clare because I’m afraid that she’ll be sad.”

Matthew remained silent. He only learned about that incident in the morning when Donnie had informed him about it.

As Clarissa did not answer his calls, he flew here the first thing in the morning.

He did not expect his niece to be here too.

“Uncle Matt, about this matter, Shermaine is definitely…”

“Ellie!”

Clarissa had just come out after changing her clothes. When she overheard what Ellie was saying, she quickly interrupted in time.

“I’m fine. Since Uncle Matthew is here, you should go back with him too. I’m totally alright. Those nasty comments were only left by the netizens who were oblivious to the truth. It’s not worth it to be bothered by them.”

“I won’t go back. I’m afraid that you’ll be bullied by Shermaine again!”

“I didn’t get bullied. It was merely a misunderstanding.”

Clarissa shot a look at Ellie. Although she was still angry, it was inappropriate for her to say anything else in front of Matthew.

Snorting unhappily, Ellie relented. “Fine. Your temper is as good as usual. Anyway, just remember to stay away from that woman.”

“I know.”

Ellie glanced at Matthew. “Wait for me, Uncle Matt. I’ll change my clothes first.”

When she walked into the bedroom, Matthew turned his gaze to Clarissa.

Still nervous, she lowered her voice and whispered, “Why are you here?”

He abruptly extended his hand as he grabbed Clarissa’s wrist. When he tugged her firmly, she collapsed onto the sofa beside him.

“Don’t…”

Clarissa tried to dodge his face, which was inching toward her. She averted her gaze and threw a glance at the door, breaking out into cold sweat.

“Matthew, don’t let Ellie see this.”

He did not kiss her either. Instead, he stared at Clarissa’s face intently.

“Aren’t you upset?”
