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."
