Chapter 55
She had been really tired this month.

She had to be strong, work, pretend not to care about Brandon and Lola, pretend not to care about the 600-million-dollar debt, be indestructible, and immune to all bad things.
She endured all the emotions, and the only comfort was that she could get a divorce after a month of enduring it, and would get rid of this murderous marriage.
After finally reaching this point, Brandon said he didn’t want a divorce.
Matilda felt anxious and restless.
She couldn’t sleep all night.

She stood on the terrace like a wandering ghost.
She was thinking that if Brandon refused to get divorced, she would jump off the Crossen Technology building.
That idea was too crazy, and she quickly dropped it.
‘I’ve done nothing wrong, so why should I kill myself? Damn it, it’s not me who should die!’
Matilda cheered up and arranged to have a calm conversation with Brandon on the night before the end of the cooling-off period.
Brandon picked the place to meet.
It was still the same private room at Akas Restaurant.
Matilda ran into Allen when she was leaving work.
He asked, “Going out?”
Matilda nodded.
Allen then said, “Jolene isn’t home. Need a ride?”
Matilda shook her head. “No, thanks. I’ll go by taxi.”
After speaking, Matilda quickly left.
Allen noticed that when Matilda spoke to him, her brows remained furrowed, as if she were in some trouble.
Brandon booked Akas Restaurant.
All the staff gathered on the first floor.
Brandon forbade them from going to the second floor.
Matilda walked into the private room and saw the room full of tulips, with their delicate fragrance.
The air still had the smell of incense, intertwined with the fragrance of flowers.

Brandon sat on the sofa, wearing a gray vest suit, his hair was cut a little shorter, and his eyelids were solemn and dignified.
He said gently, “I arranged this last night. Do you like it?”
Matilda said, “Not bad. I can see you put your heart into it.”
But it would only make her feel disgusted.
Matilda sat down, took a deep breath, and went straight to the point.
“The reason why we have come to this point is not just because of Shelby.
“You feel that the oath ‘Matilda is always right’ is pressing on you, making you feel suffocated and wronged, so you want to be above me in everything.
“And I have my own principles and pride and will not allow anyone to walk all over me. Let’s end it peacefully, okay?”
Brandon looked at Matilda’s calm face and argued,
“If it was not Shelby’s problem, why were you fine before Shelby returned, and why did you have to get a divorce after she came back?
“If you can’t tolerate Shelby, I can resolve this. I can buy a piece of land and build another villa for you. We can take Lola to live there.”
Matilda looked at Brandon as if he were a stranger.
“And then you’ll occasionally come back to Rose Villa to mess around with Shelby, right? Brandon, you’ve become just as despicable as your friends.”
Brandon paused while pouring wine, then resumed as if nothing had happened.
“We’re talking about things between us. Why bring my friends into it?”
Brandon pushed the red wine towards Matilda.
Matilda stared at the wine glass without moving.
“Afraid I’ll drug you?” Brandon revealed Matilda’s thoughts.
Matilda pushed the wine glass further away.
She said coldly, “If you were stabbed in the back, could you still trust that person?”
“Matilda…” Brandon looked helpless and flustered, but it was fleeting.
“In short, I won’t get divorced. Give up that idea.”
Matilda snapped, “Then there’s nothing to talk about.”
She took a deep breath to steady herself, picked up her bag, stood up, and walked out.
The air conditioning carried a strong fragrance towards her.
Matilda suddenly felt dizzy, and her limbs went weak.

She wondered, ‘How could this be? I clearly didn’t drink anything.
Matilda slumped onto the sofa. “What did you do?”
Brandon looked at the scented candle.
When Matilda asked him out, several friends were with him.
They all felt it was a shame to let Matilda go like that and that he should have some fun on the last night.
So, they gave him some aphrodisiac incense.

The more one tried to suppress it, the stronger the smell that one would inhale into his lungs became, and the more it stimulated desire. It was best suited for types like Matilda, who would rather die than submit.
In fact, he did not agree with what his friends said.
He used this incense not to play with Matilda, but to keep her.
Brandon turned on video recording mode on his Infinity Watch.
He put his arm around Matilda and coaxed her, saying, “Sweetie, say you don’t want a divorce.”
Matilda’s mind became confused, but she had not completely lost her ability to think.
A month ago, she asked netizens on social media to take screenshots as proof that whoever didn’t get divorced was an asshole.
Brandon didn’t want a divorce, but he also didn’t want to be treated like an asshole, so he wanted Matilda to say it herself.
In that way, it could also add a rich and colorful touch to his image as a deeply affectionate husband.
What a trick!
The corners of Matilda’s eyes flushed slightly.
She stubbornly refused to open her mouth.
She could feel a sense of heat in her body, which was becoming stronger and stronger.
Her mouth was dry, and a familiar and dangerous signal was roaring in her lower abdomen.
She couldn’t help but moan softly.
Brandon couldn’t resist and lowered his head to capture Matilda’s lips.
The cold aura was mixed with a hint of alcohol.
Matilda’s body was like a desert encountering a water source, wanting to draw more from it.
But she hated Brandon and raised her hand to slap him.
She couldn’t muster any strength, and it was like a coquettish pat.
Brandon’s body was also acting up, his voice hoarse.
