My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“Winter? Are you awake now?”

I could hear Matthew knocking outside of my room. I tried getting up, but I was too weak to do it. It rained so heavily last night after we watched the fireworks, and since the asshole parked the car way too far from the amusement park, we had to run like thieves just to be able to get there. And now, I think I have a fever.

“Yes, what do you want from me?” my voice was a little throaty.

“Can I come inside?”

“Go on!”

The door went open, and so Matthew stepped in dressed in his corporate suit.

“Are you sick?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I guess I got it from last night. I can’t even get up from bed, my body’s feeling so heavy.”

He walked toward me and touched my forehead, using the back of his hand.

“You’re hot. You do really have a fever.”

“Why do I look like I’m lying to you?”

“No, it’s not like that. Wait for me here, okay? I’ll get some cold compress and some soup for you.”

I nodded my head. “Okay. Wait, but how about Elisse? Who’s going to drive her to school? And your work? You have to go to the company today, right?”

“I’ll ask Kevin to drive her there. Also, I will just take an absence today. Just wait for me there, okay?”

“Fine.”

I didn’t have any choice but to wait for him. Haley also called me and I told her I couldn’t go filming. Good thing the director understood me and even told me to take some rest even for two days or as long as I need to. I really hate getting sick.

“Winter. Here, have some soup first.” Matthew came in bringing a bowl of chicken soup with him. He placed that on the side table, then he sat on the bed to guide me to get up. “Elisse wanted to see you, but she needs to go to school already or she would be late. She just wanted me to tell you that she will buy something for you later.”

“That kid, really.”

“She was so worried when I told her you are sick. She even insisted not to go to school so she could just take care of you, but then I stopped her and told her I will be the one to do it so. She really cares about you, Winter.”

I smiled. “I know. And it looks like she now sees me as her mother, not just a big sister.”

“That’s right. Here, let me feed you.”

“N-No need. I can eat by myself, anyway.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.”

I took the spoon from him and tasted the soup. “By the way, you can go to work. “The maids can take care of me, anyway.”

“No, I’ll stay here. Besides, I already told the chairman about it and he allowed me.”

“But-

“When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me not to leave a sick person alone. Because it’s not the medicine that heals them from sickness, but the love and the warmth that we give them. Even our mere presence has an impact on them. At least they will have something to look forward to, so they would be more eager to get well.”

I averted my gaze from him. “You and Elisse are very much alike. You both talk like an old man. Maybe she really is your daughter.”

“And you are her mother?” he said while smiling at me.

My face automatically blushed because of what he just said. Suddenly, he moved his face closer to me. What’s worse is the fact that he was staring at my lips. I almost pushed him away, but then he wiped the corner of my mouth with his thumb. “I’m sorry, you just had something on your lips.”

“Y-You could’ve just told me.”

“I can’t help it. Look, your hands are shaking. Let me just feed you.”

“N-No, I can do it.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He suddenly grabbed the spoon from me. “Come on, don’t be so hardheaded now. You don’t want to spill some soup on your bedsheet, do you?”

“O-Of course, not.”

“Here.”

Matthew continue feeding me like a kid, and I couldn’t help getting distracted by his lips since he kept on blowing the soup before feeding me. Those thin red lips of his. I still remember how good it tasted when we kissed that night.

I kind of want to taste it again.

“Winter?”

“I want to taste your lips..”

“Huh?”

My eyes widened upon realizing what I just said. “N-Nothing. I said I’m already full.”

“Oh, alright. Now, you must take this medicine.”

“Thanks.”

What the hell did I just tell him?! I’m sick right now, right? But why do I feel so horny?! I’m such a pervert!

Matthew made me lie down again as he placed the cold compress on my forehead. He also covered my body with a blanket.

“Take some rest, okay? I’ll just bring these things downstairs, then I’ll come back here.”

“Okay.”

I just closed my eyes as Matthew left me alone in my room. I didn’t get to sleep until he finally came back and sat on the couch bringing some paperwork with him. I was just staring at him, then fell asleep.

That was the first time someone actually took care of me while I’m sick. I have always been alone whenever I’m sick. Because whenever I tell my parents I don’t feel well, they’ll think I’m just making excuses. Then they would go again about how better my sister is than me.

But now that Matthew is taking care of me, it feels like someone truly cares about me. This is the very first-time I felt so safe and comfortable with someone I barely even know. And I just realized that it actually feels good to be taken care of when you are sick.

It feels warm.
