My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

We bought a few toys for Elisse, then we went back inside my car. It was already evening and I still have work tomorrow, so we couldn’t go to another tourist spot anymore.

But just when I was about to start the engine of my car, it didn’t work. Later on, we just realized one of its wheels was flat. There wasn’t a nearby gas station or vulcanizing shop, so I just called my secretary to take over my car.

“Are you in for a commute?” I asked Winter.

“I haven’t done that before, but I think that sounds great!”

In order to go to the hotel we were staying at, we had to ride a bus. There were lots of people on the bus and so we weren’t able to find any seats.

“What the hell is this? Why don’t they provide more seats to passengers?” Winter whispered to me as she keeps on struggling to stand still.

“The number of seats still depends on the size of the bus. Even if they provide more seats, I’m pretty sure there would still be passengers who will need to stand up.”

As the bus stops, the number of passengers kept on increasing too. I could see Winter feeling uncomfortable being squeezed by the people so I whispered. “Move closer to me. You can lean on me if you ever feel like losing your balance.”

Upon hearing that, she immediately moved closer to me.

“Matthew, that guy beside me intentionally pushes himself to me. He’s a pervert!” she murmured.

I glanced at the man wearing a black cap and met his gaze. He was looking at Winter and even moved closer to her too to get more chance to do what he plans to. When the bus was about to stop again and the man was getting ready to push himself to Winter, I put my arms around her and shifted our places. In that case, the man hit on my back.

I looked at Winter again who was closing her eyes. “Are you alright?”

“H-Huh?” She looks up at me, only to realize I was already embracing her in my arms. I could see her cheeks turning bright red as a smile appeared on her face. “Y-Yes, Thank you.”

When we finally reached our destination, Winter glared at the man again and slapped him across the face, leaving the people inside that bus shocked. “Let’s go, Matthew!”

She held my hand and we both stepped out of the bus. The man was about to run after us, but then the driver already started driving. Winter and I were both panting when we finally stopped running away. She kept on looking around us, making sure the man was following us.

“Don’t worry, he wasn’t able to follow us,” I said.

“That’s good then. That man is such a pervert! I would’ve kicked his balls before stepping out of that bus!”

I chuckled. “You could have done that.”

“But it was fun riding the bus.” she smiled at me. “Thank you for doing that.”

“It’s my responsibility to protect you. I’m your husband, remember? By the way, we still have to walk before reaching the hotel. Or maybe you want to call a taxi?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine with walking as long as I’m with you.”

“Okay. Let’s go?”

“Let’s go!”

There were still a few people walking down the road as we kept on walking. It was almost midnight, and the wind was blowing. No one was speaking between the two of us, probably because of tiredness. Then as if someone was playing a trick on us, the rain started pouring.

“What the—

“Let’s go to that coffee shop!” I said as I held her hand then we ran going to the coffee shop. It was quite far from where we were standing, so we got a bit soaked before being able to reach the shed.

The rain continue pouring hard and we couldn’t go inside the coffee shop since we were both wet. When I saw her shivering, I took off the coat I was wearing and placed it on her shoulders. She looked over at me and smiled. “You really are such a gentleman. How can I even not like you?”

“You’re overcomplimenting me when I’m just doing all the things that a man ought to do.”

“But not all men do what you do.”

I just smiled, then we continue watching the rain as it kept on pouring down.

“Matthew.”

“Huh?”

“There’s someone singing there. In the middle of the rain,” she said as she pointed at the man singing while holding his guitar. He didn’t mind the hard rain pouring down and just kept on singing.

Winter looked at me again. And from that look on her face, I already knew what she was going to say.

“We can’t go there, Winter. We might get sick if we let ourselves in the middle of the rain.”

“But we’re already soaking wet, anyway.”

“But that doesn’t mean we could–

Before I could even continue what I was about to say, Winter already ran towards the man.

“Winter!”

At first, she was just standing while watching the man sing. They were both standing in the rain, not minding the people looking at them. I just got surprised when all of a sudden, she started dancing.

Winter didn’t listen to me and continued dancing in the rain while listening to the man singing. She didn’t mind the people passing by and the rain that was getting heavier.

Later on, I just caught myself watching her. Together with the other people who were just passing by, but stopped upon seeing how good she was while dancing. It was as if that road was her stage.

When I noticed that the crowd is getting heavier, I ran towards her.

“Winter, we should go now. Some people might recognize her.”

“No, I still want to dance.” she stubbornly said while dancing.

I held her hand to stop her, but that only gave her an idea about what to do next. She held my hand and raised it just so she could spin around and end up in my arms. She pretended to be falling down, so I had no choice but to catch her in my arms.

The people started clapping as if a performance just ended.

“You’re so hard-headed,” I mumbled as I looked at Winter who was looking directly at me.

She just smiled. “Have you fallen in love with me already?”

That question made me surprise. My heart just started beating really fast again while looking at her.

That moment I knew something has already changed. Something I never expected to happen.
