Chapter 65

Mia didn't want any scandal to happen between her and Matthew, and she didn't want Matthew's friends to misunderstand their relationship. Matthew nodded slightly. His eyes darkened as he looked at Mia with a complicated expression. Then he raised his head and drank silently. Matthew thought, 'Mia can't drink alcohol because she is pregnant. Why does she have to hide it? Is she ashamed of me, her ex-husband? Seeing Mia rejected Matthew's rare concern so directly. Winston couldn't help but become curious,

Matthew was handsome, rich, and powerful. If men were categorized as prizes, Matthew would be the grand prize.

Logically speaking, all women would be attracted to him.

But Mia avoided Matthew as if he were a monster.

Winston wondered, 'Something is very wrong

He didn't know that Mia was the ex-wife that Matthew mentioned, so he was confused.

Winston noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and immediately winked at Harry. "You guys know Matt too. Fate just brings us together."

Harry was best at livening up the atmosphere. His eyes lit up as he continued, "The dishes are served! Are you hungry? Come and try our signature dish, salt cod cold." When Vinson was in school, he liked to argue with Harry.

As usual, Vinson smiled, "Harry, stop bragging. In the past few years, I have traveled all over the country and have. tasted a lot of delicious food! As a gourmet, let me rate this dish. Then Vinson picked up a piece of cod and put it into his mouth

After chewing carefully a few times, Vinson showed a look of surprise on his face.

He praised. "Harry, I didn't expect the salt cod cold to be so appetizing."

"It's delicious, right? Don't just stand there. This is a delicacy certified by a big star. Come and try it," Harry replied, his face full of pride.

The two lively guys liven up the atmosphere, making the meal less boring.

Mia thought that wherever Matthew was, she would feel uncomfortable and bored.

She never expected the dishes at Selene's restaurant to be so delicious that they overcame her pregnancy reactions!

Mia picked up her fork and ate heartily.

By the time the cake that Winston had customized was delivered, she could no longer eat anything.

Harry turned off the lights and put rows of candles on the huge cake.

"Mathew, happy birthday to you. I hope you will be happy forever, Vinson shouted.

Others sang the birthday song as well.

The lights flickered, illuminating Matthew's stern profile.

Under such a warm atmosphere, he had a rare gentle smile on his face. "Thank you all"

Chapter 65

"Make a wish, and then blow out the candles, Harry suggested as he shook the glow stick in his hand.

Harry was good at livening up the atmosphere, otherwise, he wouldn't have become friends with Matthew and Winston, who were both taciturn. Matthew straightened his suit and walked forward.

In the candlelight, his long eyelashes looked like the afterimage of a small palm-leaf fan, beautifully falling on his

cheek. 

Matthew cooperated rarely and slowly closed his eyes, When he opened his eyes again, he blew out the candles.

"Matt, what's your wish?" Vinson asked curiously.

Winston said, "What a fool! Wishes cannot be spoken out loud."

"You called me a fool again. Do you think you are the only one who is smart?" Vinson picked up a piece of cake and threw it directly on Winston's face.

At that moment, a deep and sincere voice echoed in the dim room. "I hope my ex-wife can live happily."

Matthew took another sip of the liquor, rendering his cheeks, neck, and ears red. He couldn't drink, and right now he must be a little drunk

"I was not nice to her. We were together for five years, but I never gave her a ring, a bouquet, or took her out for dinner once. Matthew's voice was hoarse and low, like a glass of mellow wine.

Mia paused slightly while holding the phone. She lowered her eyes and clenched her hands tightly, feeling some heartache. She thought she didn't care anymore, but it turned out to be fake. She had loved Matthew for five years. How many five years could there be in one's lifetime? Even if she let it go, it could not erase the painful memories of those five years.

In the darkness, Queenie held Mia's hand tightly because Queenie was afraid of the dark. She felt Mia's shoulders trembling slightly because of Matthew's words. Queenie wondered, 'Matthew treated a woman badly for five years, and Mia also disappeared for five years. Could it be...

Recalling the unusual look Matthew gave Mia when they first met at Haven Lounge, Queenie seemed to have figured something out

Harry hurried forward and supported the staggering Matthew awkwardly. "Sorry, Matt's capacity for alcohol is not good."

Queenie couldn't help but sneer and say, "I think his personality is not so good either."

Drunk, she shook off Mia's hand and strode forward. With the dim moonlight coming through the window, she raised the cake and threw it directly at Matthew. 0
