30 The target of jealousness has changed (1/2)

After Min and her parents left Matthew's house, he told his parents that he wouldn't return home for dinner. Matthew grabbed his bag, the butler passed him his Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe keys and opened the door for him. The cold Matthew got into his car filled with exuberance and drove over to Renae's house without informing her beforehand.

Soon after he parked his car outside Renae's house and he knocked on the door. Renae jumped up from her sofa and ran to the door. She opened the door, expecting a delivery from the delivery man, to find Matthew smiling right at her.

”Sorry I didn't tell you that I was coming, I have some good news to tell you,” Matthew said with a grin on his face.

”Come on in,” Renae said.

Matthew nodded his head and frolicked into Renae's house.

”You sure must be happy, you never smile this much,” Renae uttered as she locked the door.

”Definitely! So like I told you, today Min and her parents came over. Min tried to convince my parents that what she did was for a good cause but obviously she failed. You should have seen the look on her face, she was so embarrassed when she walked out of my house. But anyways-”

”But anyways, the good news is that the marriage has been called off right?,” Renae cut him off.

”No! It's not just a marriage, it's an ARRANGED marriage,” Matthew pinpointed her.

”OK fine, you win,” Renae said.

”Loser,” Matthew said.

”OK so if there's nothing else you have to say, the door's there. The door's waiting for the OUTSIDER to leave,” Renae fired back.

”Nice one. I came over to ask if I could take you out for dinner. To celebrate that I don't have to marry that troublemaker.”

”You said if you could take me out for dinner. But what if I say no? HAHAHA, I'm just joking. Sure, let's go?”

”Stop messing with me, but yes let's go,” Matthew replied.

They sat down in Matthew's car and headed off. Renae was glad that Matthew remembered that she didn't like to attract attention and drove his least expensive car to her house.

”OK, where are we going?” Renae asked curiously.

”You'll see,” Matthew said.

In less than 10 minutes, they arrived at their destination. Matthew parked outside the restaurant and they walked inside together. The waiter ushered them to their seats as soon as they walked inside. As they walked into the restaurant, Renae felt she was underdressed.

When they sat down at their table, Renae said to Matthew, ”Matt, you should have told me to wear something better. All I'm wearing is a t-shirt and shorts, not even pants!”

”It doesn't matter, in my eyes, you're already beautiful. And I'm paying so order anything you want,” Matthew blushed while saying those words.

Renae nodded her head and looked down at the menu. The reason she was looking down at the menu was because she was blushing so hard and didn't wish for Matthew to see. Hearing those words which came out of Matthew's mouth, could it be that he likes her?
