Chapter 272 She Is Shy

As Antony and Arthur listened to the mother–and–daughter duo’s conversation, their faces brieflydarkened.

Antony tugged on Arthur, “Arthur, let’s go upstairs and check the room

The brothers planned to install a security system in the house. With that, they would be alertedwhenever there was an

intruder.

Now that they were living in such a spacious house, they needed to be extra cautious.

Elizabeth played with Abby for a moment. Then, she went to the kitchen and saw Cody busy with work

“I’ll wash the vegetables.”

She took the leafy greens aside and started washing them. Meanwhile, Cody cleaned the fish andmeat.

“Lizzy, this is genuinely a nice house. The kitchen is so spacious. It’s practically an honor to be able tocook here.”

Elizabeth was done with the vegetables. She broke into a smile when she heard Cody.

“Ms. Elliott, it will be tough for you to clean a house this big.”

Of course, Elizabeth and her children would help Cody with the chores during the weekend.

Although she hired Cody as a housekeeper, the latter had been helping her a lot outside of her dutyscope. Additionally, Cody was genuinely nice to the three kids. Thus, they regarded her as part of thefamily.

Cody beamed. “It’s all right. I have nothing to do anyway, I consider cleaning as an exercise.”

Right then, Abby walked into the kitchen. “Mommy, Mr. Handsome is here.”

A blush crept up Elizabeth’s cheeks when she heard that. It immediately reminded her of the scene inhis house earlier.

She suddenly felt a bit shy to meet him, for they had gotten so intimate.

“Lizzy, you can brew some coffee for Mr. Hilton Leave the rest to me.”

Elizabetly wiped her hands. “Abby, why don’t you go and greet Mr. Hilton? I’ll make some coffee now.”

Although this was a new house, everything was well–prepared. It seemed Michael had an inkling theywould move in as

soon as possible.

She found a can of coffee beans at the counter in the dining room. After brewing it, she carried thedrink to the living

room.

The man, who was sitting on the couch, immediately caught her eyes. At present, he had already takena shower and changed into casual clothes.

He wore a grey sweater with black trousers, his hair left undone in its natural state. Instead of histypical aloofness, he now exuded a faint warmness, giving off the vibe of the boy next door.

Abby sat beside him, her large, iridescent eyes riveting on him.

It was apparent that the girl thought Matthew was handsome too. Similarly, Elizabeth found himextraordinarily attractive today.

With blushing cheeks, she placed the coffee before him. “Mr. Hilton, the food will be ready soon. Pleasehave a drink

first.”

The man stared at her deeply, his gaze still full of intense emotions.

Elizabeth’s heart raced wildly. She knew exactly what he was thinking at the moment.

Deliberately, the woman took a seat a distance away from him. Otherwise, she felt that flames, wouldignite within her due to his blazing gaze.

Abby leaned against the man. “Mr. Hilton, Ms. Elliott is going to cook a delicious meal tonight. You’realways welcome to

eat with us in the future.”

Matthew was originally staring at the woman playing with her phone with her head lowered. He knewshe w

eling shy

Although he had only possessed her for a few minutes tonight, the sensation still lingered on his mind,sending down

prickles through his whole body whenever he thought about it.

It gave him an urge to die on her body. He then licked his thin lips. Next time, I’ll definitely take her allthe way.

He reached out and stroked Abby’s tiny face. “Thank you, but I’d have to ask your mommy if I’mwelcome here.”

Though she looked engrossed in her phone, Elizabeth was actually listening to their conversation. Shepursed her lips

slightly upon hearing that.

Abby chirped, “Mommy, didn’t you just say Mr. Hilton is handsome? You like him too, don’t you? Whydon’t we invite Mr.

Hilton to our house every day for dinner after this?”

Elizabeth wanted to dash over and cover her daughter’s mouth. How can you tell him that? She wishedshe could dig

herself a hole and hide in it.

“I’ll go and help Ms. Elliott out. Enjoy your drink, Mr. Hilton.”

With that, she hurriedly got up and scurried into the kitchen while Matthew smiled with eyes full ofaffection.
