Chapter 17
Fred continued with
knowing smile, “Make sure your uncles know that, with Matthew supporting you, no one can steal your spot as the company’s president.” Rachel’s face was clouded with worry. “How am I supposed to bulk a real relationship with Matthew when we’ve only just met?”
Fred Laughed. “You’re a worn. Can’t you win a man over? Figure it out!”
Rachel sighed, still feeling troubled. “I’ll give it a shot,”
The next day, Matthew met up with Rachel, and they headed to Kholtwood.
However, Matthew couldn
hake the feeling that something was off with Rachel She kept brushing up against him with her curvy and alluring figure
She stayed close to him. Her perfume was faint but noticeable, and her body’s warmth was hard to ignore.
As they approached the Carter residence, Rachel suddenly grabbed Mathew’s arm and pressed herself against him,
Matthew’s an was pressed against her ample bosom, making his heart race. Rachel’s behavior was unussal
He eyed her closely, and his concern grew. “Rachel, there’s something wrong with your health.”
It was the firsttime Rachel had been so close to a man, and her face flushed it she’d been drinking. What’s wrong?” she asked, and her cheeks were faintly pinkish Matthew coughed lightly. “Do you experience painful periods?”
Rachel’s face tuned even crimson, and she nodded slightly.
“Do you often feel depressed, have trouble sleeping, feel gloomy, and get upset over small matters for a long time? Matthew continued
Rachel nodded again. “Yeah, I think so. What’s the matter?
Matthew hesitated and looked a bit embarrassed. “Promise you won’t get mad ili tell you.“‘
Rachel smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t get mad.”
Matthew took a deep breath and said, “You need a man_to,
Rachel’s eyebrows shot up in confusion. “What do you mean? just say it.”
Although Matthew ich awkward, he decided to be blunt. “You need to be sexually fulfilled”
Rachel froze for a moment, then her eyes widened in redization. Herface turned red with anger. “Matthew, you pervert! Your true nature is showing again!”
Matthew quickly tried to explain. “No, I’m serious! It’s a medical-
all didn’t let him finish. She stormed off, fuming
How dare he suggest she needed sex only a pervert would say such a thing.
Matthew sighed in resignation
When a woman reached acertain age, she would have to balance her internal energies or her health could be affected. He had learned this while studying traditional medicine. Matthew hurried to catch up with her. “Teachel, please hear me out. It’s not what you think.”
Just a few feet from the Carter residence’s gate, Rachel remembered Fred’s advice to strengthen her relationship with Matthew
This could be the perfect opportunity. But Rachel hesitated, and her face burned with embarrassment. As a woman, how could she make the first?
The gate creaked open, and a man stepped out.
Seeing her cousin, Quinn Carter, Rachel quickly looped her arm through Matthew’s, acting very close. “Hey, Quinn! Where are you off to
Quinn frowned at the sight of Rachel. “What are you doing here? And who’s this?
Rachel smiled and introduced them. “This is my boyfriend, Matthew, the one Grandpa chose for me.”
Quinn extended his hand to Mathew. “Nice to meet you. I’m the eldest son and future head of the Carter family.
“Given my seniority, you should call me Mr. Carter. If you need anything in this house, let me know, and I’ll take care of t
Quinn’s words seemed polite, but an underlying tension hinted at his dominance in the carter family. Matthew pretended not to notice as he smiled. “Got it.” He then gave a polite nod before following Rachel into the yard.
As soon as they were inside, quinn’s smile vanished, replaced by a fierce and malicious look.
He pulled out his phone and called Logan Weston. “Hey, Logan. I need you to find everything you can on guy named Matthew, He’s with Rachel
“I want all his detalls–past relationships, finances, favorite foods and drinks, his family background. Everything Investigate him thoroughly”
