CHAPTER 70: THAT BELLE
Winter’s POV
“Matthew, I’ll be the one to drive Elisse to their school. I also have to go somewhere.”
Matthew wiped his mouth using the napkin before looking at me. “It’s alright. I’ll be the one to drive her there.”
“Huh? But I—
“It’s alright. You can go straight to where you need to go.”
I slowly nodded my head while looking at him. He immediately stood up and later on, he and Elisse already decided to leave.
Actually, I’ve been suspicious of Matthew lately. He is always the one who drives Elisse to her school, but these past few days, he seems to be so excited to go there. And even if he still has too much work to do, he still volunteers to be the one to go there as if he has someone he likes to see.
“I’ll find out the reason why he keeps going there,” I mumbled to myself.
After changing my clothes, I immediately got into my car and drove off to Elisse’s school.
“Miss Winter!” I got surprised when Elisse saw me while I was walking past their classroom.
“Elisse, why are you still outside?”
“Our teacher hasn’t arrived yet, Miss Winter. Did you come here to see me?”
“H-Huh? Oh, yes. I-I actually brought you a sandwich. Here, share it with your friends when your lunch time comes.”
Good thing I was able to buy some sandwiches on my way here, so I could immediately make an excuse for going here.
I was starting to look around, looking for Matthew when Elisse’s classmates suddenly rushed towards me.
“Elisse, is she your mom?!”
“She’s so beautiful!”
“She looks like you!”

“Is she a princess?”
A smile immediately appeared on my face upon hearing what they were saying about me. I knelt down to meet their height. “Hi, there! Yes, I am Elisse’s mom. Are you her friends?”
“Yes!”
“Are you a princess?”
“Do you have a castle?”
“My mom told me you are a celebrity. Is that true?”
I got surprised when one of them asked me that. I just pat her head and smiled.
“All of you, you should study hard. Make sure to always listen to your teacher and be good kids. Do you understand me?”
“Yes!”
“Now, go to your class and wait for your teacher.”
Without asking anything, all of Elisse’s classmates went back to their classroom.
“Miss Winter, are you going home now?” Elisse asked me.
“No, I still have to go somewhere. By the way, where’s Matthew? Did he go to work already?”
She shook her head. “Brother went to the clinic to visit Doctor Belle.”
“What?!”
I knew it!
The reason why Matthew keeps on going here and seems to be in a hurry every single time is that he’s actually seeing some other woman!
I heaved a deep sigh as I looked at Elisse. “Okay. Go inside your classroom now and wait for your teacher, okay?”
“Yes, Miss Winter.”
“Good girl. See you later!”
“See you later!”
I waited for her to go inside their classroom before I decided to go to the infirmary.
Matthew. You’re really dead. How can you even look at other women when you already have a beautiful wife?!
When I arrived in front of the infirmary, I took a deep breath before opening the door. I didn’t bother knocking, because I want to catch them in action.
“Matthew!”
As I opened the door, I immediately saw Matthew and that woman sitting on a couch while talking to each other. Both of them got surprised upon seeing me.
“W-Winter?”
I looked at the woman first, before looking at Matthew again. I crossed both of my arms over my chest as I spoke. “Oh, did I disturb the two of you?”
“Winter, what are you doing here?”
“I should be the one asking you that, Matthew.”
He stood up and walked toward me. “What are you saying? I-I was just talking to Dr. Belle. She’s the doctor here.”
“Hello, Winter. I think you misunderstood it. Your husband and I are just talking about Elisse.”
“Oh, really?”
“By the way, you told me you still have to go somewhere, right? Maybe we should go together. I also need to go to work now.” Matthew said while holding my arm, which I immediately brushed off.
I rolled my eyes and glared at the doctor before I stepped out of that infirmary. I even heard Matthew as he said goodbye to that doctor before following me.
He even said goodbye to that woman, huh?
“Winter, wait!”
“Go on, Matthew. Talk to that woman as long as you want. Looks like I disturbed the two of you. I apologize for that. Go back there now, I swear I won’t disturb you ever again.”
“Winter, you misunderstood it. Dr. Belle doesn’t have any relationship like what you’re thinking. I just talked to her because I wanted to talk about Elisse. She told me they are really close to each other, so I got curious.”
“You could’ve talked to her teacher instead.”
“But Elisse told me Dr. Belle is to whom she’s close. It’s not what you think, okay?”
I stopped walking and faced him. I could feel my whole face getting hotter when I realized he was standing so close to me. “Fine. If that’s what you want me to believe, then I’ll believe you.”
“Thank you.”
He didn’t move from where we were standing and still remained so close to me as if he was going to kiss me. I even caught him looking at my lips, but immediately averted his gaze.
That made me smile.
“Why? Do you want to kiss me? Come on, kiss me if you want to.” I said while smiling teasingly at him.
Both of his ears turned bright red as he moved away from me. “W-What are you saying? W-We should go now.”
He walked past me, so I had to follow him. “Why are you blushing? Have you fallen in love with me already?”
