Marrying

Chapter 280 

Matthew glanced at Louis and responded, “How noisy.” 

Matthew stayed as reserved as always, his usual cold and arrogant tone made every word unbearable for Louis. 

After speaking, he walked straight towards the Anderson residence, not even bothering to glance at Louis out of the corner of his eye. 

The worst part of mocking someone was when they did not respond. Louis felt like he had punched a pillow. Seeing that Matthew didn’t care, he followed behind in displeasure, only to be stopped by two bodyguards standing behind Matthew. 

Louis was instantly annoyed and exclaimed, “Matthew, this is the Anderson residence. I didn’t come here for you. How dare you stopane!” 

The two bodyguards stood their ground until Matthew walked away. Then, they stepped aside and said, “Mr. Grant said that irrelevant people should keep their distance from him.” 

With that, both parties fell silent. 

“Irrelevant people, indeed,’ Louis thought. He was already in a bad mood, and the provocation made his eyebrows twitch with anger. 

He silently cursed, ‘Fine, bodyguards, huh? As if I don’t have any 

He placed a call, summoning a dozen bodyguards from the Santos family to quickly head to the Anderson residence. Only after that did Louis enter the Anderson estate and catch up with Matthew. 

Louis despised Matthew’s indifferent attitude and his habit of treating others as if they were beneath him. Matthew hadn’t changed over the years, which only fueled Louis’s anger. Louis could not help but threaten, “Matthew, aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal your identity to Miss Warren?” 

Matthew paused, finally looking directly at Louis. The two stood in the corridor, and the atmosphere turned tense and confrontational. 

Matthew’s lips pressed into a thin line, his sharp gaze piercing Louis. He sneered and challenged, “You can try.” 

The threat was loud and clear. 

Then, Matthew added, “Let me remind you, she is my wife now. Mr. Santos, you should address her properly.” 

The threat also served to assert his ownership. 

Louis almost laughed out loud. ‘Wife? 

‘Matthew’s words sounded so righteous, yet he hid his identity from Valerie. What kind of husband was he pretending to be?” 

Louis was about to retort when the door at the end of the corridor slowly opened. Leon, the Anderson family butler, smiled and said, “Mr. Grant, Mr. Santos, Mrs. Anderson requests that you don’t catch up here. Since you’re both here, why not come and talk inside?” 

Upon hearing Olivia’s wish, the tension between the two men eased slightly. They entered the hospital room one after the other. The elderly lady, who was half–asleep on the bed, looked at the two proud men before her and chuckled, “Look at you two, all grown up and still bickering. I could hear you from inside. 

Spotting Olivia, Matthew finally averted his gaze from Louis. 

Olivia appeared to be in better spirits than last time, and Matthew subtly sighed with relief. Stepping forward, he said

earnestly, “I didn’t mear to–disturb your rest, Mrs. Anderson. I’ll ask him to leave immediately. 

Louis’s forehead pulsated with barely contained anger at Matthew’s words. He sneered, “Matthew, maybe you’re the one disturbing Mrs. Anderson. This is her residence, not yours. Who are you to tell me to leave?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Matthew coldly looked away and remarked, “Verbose.” 

“Your” Louis exclaimed, infuriated. Matthew always managed to provoke him with the fewest words. 

Louis casually picked up a knife from the table and sliced an apple, offering pieces to Olivia as he ignored Matthew. 

Olivia couldn’t help but laugh at the sight. She chuckled, “You two have been like sworn enemies. You have been constantly bickering from childhood to adulthood. Despite being grown men, you still act like children. Here, Matthew, have some.” 

With that, she handed a piece of apple to Matthew. 

Louis frowned immediately in displeasure. He whined, “Mrs. Anderson, I cut that apple for you. Why did you give it to him? He always wears that cold expression. Why indulge him?” 

Olivia comfortingly patted Louis’s hand, reassuring him, “Just one piece for him!” 

However, Matthew glanced at Louis indifferently and taunted, “There’s no need, Mrs. Anderson. I’m afraid he might have poisoned it.” 

“You…Louis exclaimed. 

Olivia intervened, “Alright, alright, you two. You rarely visit together, and yet you argue like kids! If you keep this up, don’t bother coming next time. Spare me some peace. The two men were adults now, and yet they were bickering so childishly! 

Hearing Olivia’s admonishment, the two men slightly lowered their guard, though their eyes still held mutual disdain and contempt. Matthew’s usual stern face appeared even colder, and it was as if he could freeze anyone with a glance. 

Olivia inwardly sighed. She couldn’t fathom why these two, like fire and water, were always at odds since childhood. Each encounter seemed to ignite conflict. She attempted to change the subject to something lighter. 

She stated, “Matthew, I glanced out the window and saw your little car. It’s quite adorable. I didn’t expect you to drive something like that…” 

A tiny, pastel–colored Mini. 

Who would have thought that Mr. Grant, a titan of Kranson City’s business world, drove such a vehicle? 

Before Matthew could respond, Louis chuckled and said, “Mrs. Anderson, you might not know, but he’s very attached to that car now. He drives it everywhere. If you find it amusing, you could ask him to take you for a ride. After all, he seems to enjoy being a chauffeur.” 

Louis emphasized the word “chauffeur” with a smirk.
