WIDOW IN MY BED

Matt wants to return to Amanda to shed his piling fatigue. Still, he can’t because of some personal work he has to handle in Russia.

The man looked very tired and sleep-deprived after taking care of the company’s affairs and intervening directly to train his soldiers. Matt wants to finish everything as soon as possible before he realizes he has fallen into the meadow where several soldiers are training.

Matt couldn’t get rid of the heavy feeling he felt when he left Amanda in Sydney, even when he was busy with meetings. All his energy-consuming activities seemed even more miserable because of the emptiness.

Was Amanda really okay when I was away from her?

It’s Matthew Wallace here who seems to be over-worrying. He’s not okay.

Sure, Amanda should be fine until she gets back. Matt even specifically ordered Jav to buy several buildings near La Joitie-Amanda Restaurant-to keep a closer eye on him, leaving Jav and some trained people to stay in Sydney.

I’m not possessive, I’m not a possessive man, and I don’t want Amanda to hate me because I’m overreacting. It’s just an attempt to protect mine.

Matt closes his eyes while muttering convincingly, refusing to admit that he has become Amanda’s obsessed ‘love slave.’

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky. Matt still looks at all his men and sighs when he puts out a cell phone to make a video call.

In a flash, Matt’s eyes turned glowing after seeing Amanda’s figure from behind the scenes when the call was connected.

Amanda smells sweet even though they’re thousands of kilometers apart. The woman’s scent has wholly manipulated her sense of smell, and Matt can’t stop liking that feeling.

Damn, Amanda’s pretty face greets him and drives him crazy. It was like a drum was beating inside the man’s heart when Amanda spoke with a smile, toned with tenderness, and asked about his condition after saying she also missed him.

Matt’s happy to hear that. “I miss you too, Baby…”

Likewise, his girlfriend, she is fine waiting for Matt for the past few days and enjoying every process.

Amanda couldn’t bear to see Matt’s messy face, so she asked. “How’s business over there, Matt? Is everything going well?”

“Yes, everything is under my control. I just don’t sleep well, you don’t have to worry, your boyfriend is still the most handsome man on earth despite being tired.”

Amanda couldn’t help laughing. “That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard Matt!”

A half hour ago, Amanda was busy giving courses to Selina and Camilla, who were decorating cookies in her kitchen, when suddenly her phone rang. Then, she walked into her room because Amanda needed privacy.

Contact with Matt is always fun. Even though it’s limited to video calls, Amanda can still enjoy how Matt always looks at her. But that’s not the problem because Amanda also misses her man, who is so hot that her logic is numb.

Matt’s like a guy painted on a shiny black canvas. He looks cold or as sharp as the moon but sweet simultaneously. It’s a pretty blind feeling Amanda’s hooked on.

“When are you coming back?” asked Amanda.

“I’ll be home in a minute, Babe. I promise.” His voice trembled a little, like he was holding back his passion.

“Yes, I’ll wait for you, Sugar,” and suddenly Amanda changed the subject. “A few days ago my family came to the restaurant to discuss something.”

“Something?” Matt was curious.

“They’re talking about you, me, and our relationship. My family already knows what we’re going through,” Amanda retorted. Also, my father hopes to see you after returning to Sydney.”

“What?” Matt was shocked.

“My dad wants to see you, Sugar,” Amanda repeated. “Daddy said if you were serious about our relationship you should have met him first.”

“He wants us to get married?” asked Matt, full of dreams, the man misinterpreted.

Amanda’s heart stopped suddenly, and it felt like her life was being taken away by force to hear Matt start talking about marriage.

Amanda doubted whether she could forget her messy married life and live with the man she was meant to be.

To be honest, there’s a fear that this fairy tale will have a sad ending, and then Amanda will be destroyed a second time and fall to pieces if his agitation really becomes real. It can’t be helped.

Since childhood, she has dreamed about marriage. She feels happy just imagining a beautiful daughter or brave son who looks like her husband someday, but it also stings when faced with reality.

Amanda fumbled about what it was like to hold a baby soft and white as milk. She would be pleased if she could comb the baby’s thick black hair and watch her baby drool with reddish cheeks. Can Amanda hear a child calling her “mother” so happy?

Yet, again, a sour thought came to his mind, a painful reality that always acted like a shadow that ruled him. And happiness is nothing more than a mirage.

All men are the same. They’ll say it’s sweet to want something like Matt once said; the man doesn’t need children and only wants Amanda alone. If Matthew Wallace had kept his word, then Amanda would have felt smaller and more guilty because this perfect man should be with a woman who was also ideal for him.

Can Amanda fantasize about being with Matt and having their child…

“Amanda?” Matt asked once again because Amanda ignored his voice. “Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Did your father ask me to marry you?”

Amanda used to hide her anxiety. “No. Father is not a meddling person, he purely wants to get acquainted with his daughter’s boyfriend. Yes… Maybe you can relax and ride, I love riding, he’s expecting a new friend to spend some time at the racetrack or maybe just betting.”

“I can’t wait to meet your father. When I meet him do I need to bring a throughbread, or maybe… Fusaichi Pegasus as a souvenir?” asked Matt in a casual tone.

“Don’t be crazy, Matt,” Amanda wants to scold him. “The price of that horse can even pay off a country’s debt.”

Amanda was curious about how much money her boyfriend had this time.

“I want to take your parents’ heart dear. So, I will do that.” Seduce Matt.

“Oh… Amanda half-praised and half-praised Matt and half-praised Matt.

“Because, you’re the apple of my eye Amanda.”

…

Amanda asks Selina and Camilla at the same time. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay here?”

“Sorry Amanda, tomorrow I have a meeting early in the morning.” replied Camilla.

Followed by Selina. “I don’t think I can either, brother, I have a volunteer activity to attend tomorrow.”

“After I gave free private how to make the red velvet cake in your hands now, my friend and cousin just left. Very good.” Amanda says with a joke.

“You’re so good at making jokes,” Selina says, actually worried about her cousin. He knew it was risky leaving Amanda to live alone. “Are you sure you want to sleep at the restaurant tonight? Why don’t you stay at my house? Mama says you haven’t been home for a long time, and Juan will be very happy to see you. ”

“Mmm… I think I’ll just go home. Mom has been terrorizing me for two days, so I don’t want to make her worry any more.” Both felt relieved after Amanda said she would return to her parents’ house. “You can go ahead, I’ll take care of some things for me to bring.” Amanda affectionately kissed the two women’s cheeks alternately before they separated.

However, Amanda doesn’t realize one thing: someone’s been waiting for her to leave her restaurant all along. He was hiding behind a dark wall, deliberately hiding his whereabouts from the street lamp’s light, sneaking around like he was waiting for dinner.

The guy snoops from behind the building, and Amanda occasionally loads some stuff into her car. The area is quiet because it is almost midnight, and now it’s not the weekend. Occasionally, a car horn is heard from a distance, but it is not enough to hide Amanda’s anxiety that someone is watching her.

Amanda doesn’t want to get any ideas when her phone vibrates, then reads some messages while trying to close the trunk of her car.

Mommy : Drive carefully, and I’m waiting for you to come home.

My Sugar: I’ll send a driver, stay inside the restaurant. Don’t move!

Amanda smiled, reading the two people’s anxieties. Then, the smile disappears instantly when a person hugs her body from behind. Matt does like to come out of the blue, but Amanda’s convinced it’s not the boyfriend. Matt’s shoulder feels more expansive than the man’s, making her body tremble. Amanda knows very well because Matt’s still in Russia.

Amanda’s mouth was smothered without a sound or movement to attract the man’s attention. Amanda realized these feelings were familiar, frightened from the shadow of her past.

Recognize him well when that breath whispers very slowly to Amanda’s ears. “Mine, do you miss me?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
