My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

I checked myself in front of the mirror before leaving my room. I was wearing a short red fitted dress and my hair was down. Today is the 70th birthday of grandpa. Of course, he invited all of us to attend his celebration.

“Do I look beautiful?” I asked Elisse and Matthew, who were sitting on the sofa while waiting for me.

A smile appeared on Elisse’s face, but Matthew didn’t show any reaction while looking at me.

“You look so pretty, Miss Winter!”

“Thank you, Elisse.” I turned to Matthew. “How about you, Matthew? Do I look pretty for you?”

“Huh? O-Of course. Of course, you do. Shall we go now?”

I covertly rolled my eyes. He doesn’t even look like he’s interested. We drove to the venue for grandpa’s birthday and we immediately saw my parents and, of course, my ever-perfect sister, Summer, who is so good at giving out fake smiles to everyone.

“You’re finally here, Winter and Matthew!” she cooed as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

“Hi there, Summer.” Matthew smiled at her.

“Matthew. I’m so glad to see you again. Oh, and you are with this adorable young lady. Hello there, Elisse!”

But since Elisse already knows that my sister is a born plastic, she ignored her and hid behind me instead.

“Sorry, she’s not that fond of faking with other people.” I said, sarcastically.

Summer for sure got insulted, but she still forced a smile on her face. “I-It’s alright. I’m sure we’ll get along soon. You can also go to our house and we’ll have a tea party.”

“Elisse would love that.” said Matthew.

“No, she won’t.” I said, which made Matthew look at me as if I just said something wrong.

I saw Summer frowned, then she finally left.

“You shouldn’t have said that to her, Winter. And Elisse, you didn’t even say hello to her.”

“She doesn’t need to, anyway. Don’t force her to do something she doesn’t even want to do.”

He just heaved a sigh. I couldn’t help smiling while looking at him. Matthew looked so handsome as ever, especially now that he’s wearing a black suit and his hair was slicked back. I kind of want to grab him by his nape and kiss him.

Wait, what did I just say?

He’s really making me a pervert.

“Winter! Matthew!”

My eyes widened in delight as I finally saw grandpa walking toward us. There were four bodyguards behind him.

“Grandpa!” I ran into him and hugged him tightly. “Happy birthday, grandpa! I missed you so much!”

Grandpa smiled as I moved away from him. “Oh, Winter. I missed you so much too, honey. You look beautiful as ever!”

“Thanks, grandpa!”

“So, how’s everything going?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

He secretly glanced at Matthew before looking at me again. “What’s going on between you and your husband? Are you guys doing okay? How’s the progress?”

I heaved a deep sigh. “Actually, grandpa. I don’t really feel great about it. He didn’t even give any compliment about my look tonight. He seem not to really care about me.”

“Oh, don’t say things like that, honey. For sure he’ll appreciate you, too. Just take it slowly.”

“I don’t even know what to do anymore, grandpa. Maybe I’m not really his type.”

“Do you want me to do something?”

I shook my head. “No need, grandpa. I can do it myself. I’m not the type of woman who gives up easily. I always get what I want.”

“That’s my grandchild.”

“Mr. Wesley. Happy birthday.” Matthew greeted him with a hug.

Grandpa tapped him by the shoulders. “Thanks, grandson. I’m so glad to see you with your wife and this little girl right here.”

“Go on and introduce yourself to grandpa, Elisse.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Elisse shyly walked toward Grandpa and blessed. “H-Happy birthday, grandpa… My name is Elisse.”

“Thank you so much, dear young lady. You look exactly like Winter when she was just a kid.”

“That’s right, grandpa. Now, I’m that maybe I gave birth to her a few years ago and just had an amnesia.” I kidded which made all of them laugh.

After greetings, the celebration already started. There were lots of businessmen and even celebrities who attended the party. Matthew, Elisse, and I decided to take our seats.

“You look handsome tonight, Matthew.” I complimented him as we sat down.

He looked at me, surprised. “T-Thank you.”

“Won’t you at least compliment me back?” I said while pouting.

“O-Of course, you look as beautiful as ever, Winter.”

That immediately made my whole face feel hot. It was as if that was the first-ever compliment one has given me. All of the people around me usually compliments me, but when it comes to Matthew, it’s different. I feel like it’s really true.

“T-Thank you…” I said shyly.

“Miss Winter, you are blushing…” Elisse started teasing me.

My eyes widened. “W-What?! Of course, I’m not!”

“You are, Miss Winter.”

“Elisse, stop teasing me already!”

The playful kid just laughed while looking at me. I glanced at Matthew, and he was just busy looking around as if finding someone.

It’s really annoying whenever he’s acting like he’s not really interested in me. Like he doesn’t care about what I feel or what I do.

Matthew. You can’t always treat me like this. I will make sure to make you fall in love with me in no time. And what that time finally comes, you can never escape from me again.
