To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 87: Feels The Same Way? Airina’s POV
I slammed the desk, glaring down at Matthew whose expression didn’t change. Previously, I knew when to shut up and be silent but right at this moment, I am powerless to do the same because I don’t want to do it.
“Matthew, are you freaking serious about this? Marriage contract?”
Matthew tugged his lips upwards, nodding his head. “If I am not serious about it, I wouldn’t have signed that marriage contract with my name and signature.”
I scoffed, “I know these are your name and signature, but do you even know the responsibilities behind it?”
“Airina, we’ve been together for over a year now. Have you not accumulated enough feelings that we could cultivate once we’re married?”
“Matthew,” I deeply breathed out, “We might not be blood-related but we’re quite so, because of our families. And in that case, I am not interested in being married to you. Matthew, on a serious note, if you want to pursue this marriage thing, I might just as well… give up my shares to you and leave the company right away.”
He then finally raised his gaze at me as the frown on his face elongated. I gritted my teeth, remembering that I am in a relationship with Jackson so doing this doesn’t have that much difference of cheating behind his back.
“God, Matthew, I am Jackson’s girlfriend. I don’t to cheat behind his back with you, especially. Of course, if I had to cheat, I’d do it in a place away from here.”
He linked his hands together, smirking. “You’re Jackson’s girlfriend? How long are you two in a relationship?”
“Less two months.”
“Exactly. And how sure are you that he really has changed just for you?,” a mocking tone resonated in my ears, “Not catching him in the act doesn’t mean he doesn’t do the same thing.”
“I don’t need your intervention to do whatever you want just so you could separate me from Jackson. We’ve cleared all in the past and we’re-”
Lightly, he set his hand on the table. I twitched upon seeing him do that since it was my first time. Honestly, he was the person who stood in front of me when things got complicated especially when the directors were against my wishes and solutions. He was always ready to take me away from the danger. But those gestures were just to make sure nothing shamed the company or dirtied it to be precise.
I never looked at him as if he was a potential husband of mine.

And now I bombed the question.
He stared at me meaningfully as his eyes glistened with emotions I couldn’t decipher so.
“Feelings… are mediocre to this relationship. We knew in fact that this marriage is due to convenience.”
I snickered, “So you don’t like me, yet you want to take the risk? Mat, I know we never had this conversation before but aren’t you too… stupid? How about other people’s feelings, huh?”
“Airina, on the other hand, aren’t you too focused on emotional offer? I can console you in any way you want, so what do you want more?”
I narrowed my eyes at him, feeling the anger rising in me.
“I don’t want anything from you. I didn’t join in this company just to marry you; I only want revenge at first. But now, I only want stable life with someone, and that is Jackson. But not you,” I paused, “I can’t marry someone else again.”
He frowned, “Rina, this marriage wouldn’t only benefit you. This is a win-win situation.”
I shook my head, “No matter how win-win it is as you have said, I don’t want to marry you, either way.”
He finally rose from his chair, breathing out.
“All right,” he smiled at me, “You want to marry Jackson, but does he feel the same way?”
Just then, he gave me a single picture. It was a mere picture that don’t contain that much but… it gave me horror.
I widened my eyes; my hand was trembling.
“You… where did you get this?”
Matthew chuckled, “Get? Do you think someone else gave this to me?”
I looked up at him, “Matthew… tell me.” I warned him, my eyes sending knives even.
After a meaningful silence, he gave out. “It was a coincidence that I saw him out of his house. I actually wanted to discuss something with him, yet this scene stopped me from doing so.”
He nodded his head, asking, “So, does he feel the same way as you do to him?”
