Chapter 271 - Continued To Stand In Silence

Matthew suddenly held the back of her head and pulled her closer and touched their foreheads making her heart flutter due to his actions.

Lisa was thinking of pushing him away but he let go of her before that, "You don't have any fever, what happened to you suddenly?" 

That's when she realized he was just checking her temperature but she cursed his way of testing it.

"Just tired, after working for so long" Lisa avoided looking at him.

"Even if you are tired, you can't skip your meals" Matt scolded her and she kept looking down and just nodded her head.

Matt held her chin and made her look at him, "Are you avoiding me?" He suddenly asked.

"What? No" Lisa immediately answered as she didn't wish to be seen through, by him.

"Then look at me, don't look here and there when you talk" Matt warned her and she nodded her head.

Seeing her being obedient, Matt smiled and patted her head, "Seems like you are really very tired, come eat your dinner"

He again grabbed the plate he kept aside and fed the food to her.

Lisa was surprised when Matt brought the spoon filled with food near her lips but she was indeed feeling tired, so she didn't argue and opened her mouth to eat the food.

Matt's gaze was on her pink soft lips and he was not able to take his eyes off them, subconsciously he kept wishing for him to be that spoon which is touching her lips and entering her mouth again and again. 

The next minute, Matt was surprised at his thoughts and scolded himself for having such weird thoughts for Emily's sister.

'I have to go out on a date or I'll go mad.'' Matt believed he was single for a while so he was having such thoughts.

He didn't stop feeding her and Lisa calmly ate the food.

Few minutes later, the silence in the room was interrupted by a phone call Lisa received.

"Amanda" Lisa happily exclaimed looking at the caller ID.

"Amanda Jones?" Matt asked her and nodding her head, Lisa answered her phone and talked to Amanda for a few minutes.

Her mood improved a lot after talking to Amanda.

"Why are you so happy?" Matt sulked in a bad mood as Lisa never smiled like this when she was with him, the way she smiled around Steve and Amanda.

"Remember at the house warming party two weeks ago, Amanda talked about her play in which Daniel sir's brother is playing one of the leads?"

"Yes?"

"This Friday is the opening night of that play. Amanda invited me as her VIP guest" Lisa excitedly informed him.

"Wow, that's awesome" Matt was glad that Lisa made a good friend, she feels happy about it.

"Yeah and she even gave me a +1" Lisa excitedly blurted out.

"Even more amazing, who are you planning to take as your +1?" Matt hopefully asked.

"Didn't think about it, maybe Ems…" Lisa then saw how he suddenly turned sad while she was talking.

"What happened Matt?" Lisa worriedly asked him as she was not sure what she said to make him upset.

"You know how big a fan I am of Amanda, I love Amanda, I love her plays, VIP ticket also I love" He looked at her hopefully.

"You wanna be my +1?" Lisa understood what he wanted so she hesitatingly asked.

"Yes, thank you so much for asking me Lisa, done I'll come with you"

Lisa: "..." 

She was just asking if he was upset about it and wished to be her +1, she didn't ask him to actually be her +1 but seeing the excitement on his face, she didn't have the heart to say no.

"Lisa, you are the best" Matthew praised her and she couldn't help but smile seeing how childlike he was.

She liked this side of him more than his serious side. The way he looked at her in the hospital earlier again made her heart flutter as Matt scared her in some weird way.

This Matt made her feel comfortable while that one…

"Lisa, after the play I'll take you to a seven-star hotel for dinner, as a thank you" Matt happily declared pulling her back from her thoughts, she just smiled and nodded.

Rachel's Home

Catherine was looking at Daniel and Rachel in shock while they were surprised at her presence.

The three people kept looking at one another as they were not sure what to say.

Rachel forgot Catherine was sitting in Liz's room. 

When Rachel and Daniel came into Liz's room, Catherine was not here as she went out to use the washroom.

Not seeing Catherine around, Rachel didn't think much about it and to pacify his angry, she casually kissed him but didn't expect Catherine would witness it.

Now she was not sure what to say or what to do without hurting Catherine.

Daniel too was speechless as he was not sure what to say to his mom who just saw what she shouldn't have, he cursed himself for coming here instead of going home as they wanted to hide their relationship from one person and they just caught by that person itself.

Catherine was shocked wondering what she just saw actually happened or she was imagining things, after coming from the washroom she never expected to run into her son and Rachel kissing each other.

She clearly saw them kissing, she was sure she was not imagining it.

Catherine was wondering were they casually being intimate with each other or something more was happening here.

She was not sure how to ask them directly without making them feel awkward. She tried to hold back her excitement as she was confused if it was casual or they were serious. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it if they were kissing casually. But why would they kiss casually, was another question in her mind.

The three people continued to stand in silence looking at one another.
