My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“We’re already home!” Elisse and I yelled as we stepped inside the house.

We both got surprised when we saw Matthew sitting on the couch with his arms crossed while looking at us like a father who has been waiting for his kids to arrive.

“Didn’t you tell me you’re going home at ten? Do you know what time is it already?” he asked us without any emotion on his face.

Elisse and I looked at each other. Elisse was about to speak, but Matthew immediately cut her off.

“Elisse, go to your room now.”

With a smile on her face, Elisse started walking toward her room while I follow her.

“Winter.”

Slowly, I looked at Matthew. “H-Huh?”

“Stay here.”

“But–

He gave me his usual cold gaze which immediately caused me to feel nervous. I gulped, then I sat down on the couch across from him. “M-Matthew, the only reason why we weren’t able to go home at a much earlier time is that we lost track of time while playing video games…”

“That’s right. That is also why you weren’t even able to hear your phone ringing because I’m trying to call you?”

I took my phone out of my bag and checked the call logs. And there, I saw how many times he actually tried to call me. I looked up at him again as I bit my lip. “I-I’m sorry…”

He heaved a deep sigh. “It’s fine as long as you promise not to repeat that again. You know how worried I get whenever you don’t answer my calls.”

“But we’re at Ian’s house, there’s no need for you to–

“Even so. You have to call me every time you do something.”

I nodded my head like an obedient child. “I-I understand. Can I go to my room now?”

He looked at me again with his sharp eyes before nodding his head. “Go on.”

Actually, ever since what happened last month, Matthew became much stricter towards me. He gets easily irritated whenever I talk about Ian or whenever Ian goes here to our house. I don’t know, maybe men are just like that.

“What beautiful parents you have, Elisse! Are you Mr. and Mrs. Wesley?” Elisse’s teacher asked Matthew and me.

They actually have a family day today which required both of her parents to go. But since she no longer has her biological parents and we already adopted her legally, we are now her parents.

I nodded my head with a smile. “Yes, we are.”

“I see. Please, go this way.”

Her teacher guided us to their school gym where the event will happen. All of them were looking at us, probably wondering why Elisse has such young parents.

“Students and parents, you should ready yourselves now and put the ribbons on your wrist with their corresponding color. The first game that we would be doing will be the sack race!”

All of the kids started screaming upon hearing that. When the game already started, we positioned ourselves and began stretching. We even thought we would be defeated by the other family who seems to be cheating, but Matthew was so quick that we were able to win and have the quickest time to finish the race.

After that, we also played another three games in which we also won because of Matthew and Elisse.

“Looks like you’ve been waiting for this day to come so you could show off, huh?” I tease Matthew as we went to the stage to get our prize.

He smiled at me and spoke. “We can’t lose the game, Elisse will surely be sad if that happens.”

“Well, you’re actually right. Look at how happy she is right now.”

Elisse was jumping with joy upon receiving the trophy and our prize for winning. When we left the gym, that was the only time I saw a cut on Elisse’s hand.

“Elise, what happened to your hand?” I asked her.

She looked at her hand and I guess that was also the time she realized that she has the cut.

“I didn’t notice it…”

“Let’s go to your school clinic to have that treated,” Matthew said.

I looked at him and spoke. “It’s alright, Matthew. You can go to your work now. I’ll bring her to the clinic.”

“But—

“It’s alright, brother,” Elisse said while smiling at him.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave for work while Elisse and I proceeded to their school clinic.

“Elisse! What happened?” the doctor worriedly asked Elisse when we reached the clinic.

“I think she got that from all the games that we did today,” I answered.

That’s when she looked at me and smiled. “You must be her sister?”

“I’m her mother. I mean, I and my husband adopted her.”

“O-Oh, I see. It’s nice meeting you, Miss Wesley. By the way, I’m the official doctor of their school and my name is Belle Denmark.” she said then reached out her hand to me.

I shook her hands. “Nice meeting you, Dr. Belle. I’m Winter Wesley.”

I thought she would react upon hearing my name, but she just nodded her head and began treating Elisse’s wound.

She doesn’t even know me? Maybe she’s a foreigner or something.

“There, it’s alright now. Next time, make sure to be careful when playing, okay?” Dr. Belle reminded Elisse after treating her wound.

Elisse then nodded her head while smiling big at her doctor. “Yes, doctor Belle. Starting from now on, I will be careful.”

“That’s my girl.”

“Thank you, Dr, Belle.”

We all stood up and she even walked us to the door. “It was nice meeting you, Miss Wesley. I just want to inform you that your daughter is such a smart and good girl. She always offers me a helping hand whenever I need it.”

“Thank you, Dr. Belle.”

After that, we already proceeded to the parking lot and went home.

Why do I feel like I know that woman?
