Chapter 226 The Stubborn Matthew

Milly’s words momentarily stunned Matthew.

With a sardonic smile, she retorted, her voice slicing through the faint light, “Matthew, even though you’re an artist and not big on logical thinking, you should grasp basic human relationships. We’re not close enough for gift–giving and late–night heart–to–hearts, are we?”

Seeing his intense fury oddly satisfied her. She casually sat down at the table and poured herself a cup
