Chapter 223: Proof... and bribe

Matthew Xi watched her eyes grow wider as he gulped in nervousness. "I'm sorry for keeping it as a secret. I just..." he paused, pursing his lips into a thin line as he asked himself the real reason he hid it. 

"I was just afraid that you'll change..." He resumed, smacking his lips lightly. 

Matthew Xi had lots of thoughts in his mind. However, he had difficulty expressing them in words as he was never in the same situation. Neither was he a romantic, nor he had the talent to move someone by his words. 

To be truthful, Matthew Xi somewhat wished he didn't witness Zion Kwan's proposal. Although Zion's proposal wasn't perfect nor was it grand, his words still moved Cora Ma. 

Now, Matthew Xi felt pressured as he didn't know how to move Zoey with these simple words. After all, Matthew Xi would rather express his feelings by action.
