Charles was disgusted by Matthew's display of affection. My beloved?Yuck!Charles scanned the area, not seeing his men. "What have you done to them?""I just knocked them out and locked them up. If I didn't want them to inform you, your base would be left with no one," Matthew explained seriously, his gaze confirming Cynthia's safety before relaxing."Did you have to go to such extremes?""You started it."Charles immediately felt guilty, and he sincerely apologized to Cynthia, "I'm at fault here. I intended to frighten Matthew to see his reaction when his girlfriend was captured. I didn't expect it to escalate to this situation."Cynthia glanced at Matthew. It was not a big deal for her, but she could not say the same for Matthew. "If you really want to apologize, bring out your newly developed weapons for us. Verbal apologies are rather meaningless." Matthew walked over gracefully.Charles was annoyed at how infuriating Matthew could be. "If you're not going to show u
Their country had many elites, and he was just one of them. Matthew had faith in their capabilities. However, Charles felt a bit emotional, hoping to meet him on the field."Do you believe they can dominate me?""Do you believe I can dominate you? Their skills are no less than mine," Matthew replied calmly, his attractive eyes radiating confidence."You really won't go?""I won't.""Why?""My country has more than just me who can participate," Matthew said, making his stance clear. Their country was powerful, and they would not lose in the competition. However, he would return to the organization without hesitation if his homeland needed him back on the battlefield."Are you not willing to leave your little girlfriend? Afraid she'd be upset if you go?" Charles guessed, glancing at Cynthia.Matthew's responses were always perfectly timed, sounding serious as he replied, "I'm afraid you'll cry from being dominated by me. I wonder who it is that loses every year and still comes
However, since Cynthia rarely came here, joining Matthew and having a good time together would be better. After getting her approval, Matthew gave her a day to prepare. He knew Cynthia had her own private matters to attend to while she was here. Since she would be accompanying him later, he wanted to give her this day for herself.With the newfound freedom, Cynthia immediately went about her own business. Even though her main purpose for coming here was the rings, she would still accompany Matthew when needed.Matthew dropped her off at the hotel, and, moments later, another person appeared in the car. It was the sniper from earlier."Mr. Quier.""Yes?""Was that person really K just now?" Red Leaf asked curiously, radiating with excitement. Night Wolf was also slightly intrigued.They were not usually the nosy type, but when they encountered something or someone interesting, they could not help but be curious.Matthew smiled and replied, "Yes.""Your girlfriend?""Yes."
Matthew brushed off such concerns. "It doesn't matter. I'm retired now."Red Leaf and Night Wolf stayed quiet.Over the next few days, Cynthia settled the rings and accompanied Matthew to explore all the exciting places in the city. As revenge, Matthew used Charles's card for the entire spree. The continuous flow of deduction notifications sent Charles's patience over the edge. When Matthew instructed someone to return the card, Charles called and gave Matthew an earful."Just wait! In this upcoming Special Organization Tournament, I'll bring your successor down, and you'll only be able to claim the title of runner-up!" Charles threatened, his tone dead serious."I'll be waiting," Matthew replied nonchalantly.After hanging up the call, Cynthia looked at him with mixed emotions. Matthew sensed her concern, asking, "What's on your mind?""Are you really not going?""Not going.""Is your successor really skilled?""Yes, besides him, a few other guys who are just as talented
Cynthia was not particularly romantic, so she turned to her friends for help. They Gathered in Riley's living room and listened to Cynthia's proposal plan. Riley was the first to speak up, suggesting, "Why not keep it simple? Just have the drones arrange themselves into the words 'I Love You, Matthew.'""You'd have the wow factor, and it would be visible to many," Riley added.Gaby chimed in with support, saying, "Absolutely!"Jimmy, however, had a different perspective. He hesitated, feeling that the idea was a bit off. Cynthia could sense Jimmy's unusual response, but she could not explain why she thought so. "Jimmy, what do you think?""Um... I think," Jamie glanced at Riley and Gaby, who shot him dangerous looks before he could even finish his sentence.The real highlight of the proposal would be Matthew's reaction, and Cynthia's side could be more relaxed. Considering Matthew's personality, extravagant displays like using drones were not necessary, and simply knowing th
"Seems like Cynthia went to talk to the fireworks company and drone leader to address this issue. Mitchell mentioned that Cynthia studied drones when she was studying abroad," Jimmy said slowly, looking serious."If she solves this problem, she might apply for several patents again.""I'm suddenly curious about Cyn's proposal.""I'm more excited to see Captain's reaction."Each of the three chimed in with their thoughts.In the following weeks, Cynthia was immersed in the drone base, working tirelessly to modify, test, and re-modify the drones. When Matthew returned, he could not find her for days, and every phone call was met with her saying she was busy with the drones. When they finally met, Cynthia was so exhausted that she fell asleep on Matthew.This outcome led to Matthew scolding Riley and the others. After all, their response to Matthew's inquiry was that Cynthia was at the base to help them modify the drones they liked. As best friends, they felt obligated to help eac
Cynthia liked children, but she still needed to be prepared to have them."If you take sufficient precautions, the chances of getting pregnant are minimized. Don't worry too much," Matthew reassured her, gently rubbing her head.Even though he said that, he secretly decided they should avoid intimacy before marriage. He did not want her to go through that anxiety when her menstrual cycle got delayed again."I know." Cynthia nodded.After asking her to rest, Matthew went to prepare some food for her. After all, her irregular sleep patterns and eating habits seemed to be the main reason for her delayed menstrual cycle.Feeling his care and concern, Cynthia stopped him before he left the room. "Captain!""What's the matter?""I love you," Cynthia said.Matthew walked back to her, gently pinching her cheeks as he teased, "A sudden confession like this makes me suspect you've done something naughty."Cynthia was at a loss for words."Alright, spill it. Since you admitted you love
"Yes." Cynthia nodded."Well, go ahead and tell me. What's my nickname?" Matthew thought she was trying to scare him and smiled charmingly."Really?""Yeah.""Daisy," Cynthia blurted out.Tracy had said that Matthew did not like that nickname as it was obviously a girl's, and he forbade anyone from using it after he turned five. He even got into a fight with Zayn over it. Tracy had meant to name her daughter Daisy as she loved daisies and their meaning. Besides, Matthew was such a pretty boy that many often mistook him for a girl when he was younger. Hence, Tracy thought it was harmless to use the name of him.Matthew froze, but he quickly regained his composure. Then, he asked, "My mom really told you?""Mmhmm." Cynthia nodded, gauging his mood. "Auntie Tracy said she would've named her daughter Daisy, and she only called you that because you were a good-looking kid, often mistaken for a girl."Matthew rubbed his brow with his hand, exasperated at how Tracy sold him out with
