Chapter 158″Really? That’s fantastic” Shakira lifted her head from the phone, smiling, but her expression didn’t seem too surprised. It was clearly more expected than shocking.Walter’s gaze grew more intense, watching Shakira’s every subtle expression like a hawk. “My people have been trying to get in touch with Matthew, but there hasn’t been any progress. Yet, Fiona managed to do it. You don’t seem surprised that Fiona could persuade Matthew.Walter’s piercing question and gaze sent a chill down Shakira’s spine. She couldn’t admit that she had long known Matthew agreed to help with his legs. Fiona succeeded merely as an excuse suited to Matthew’s whims,Shakira chuckled. “When I took pictures with Matthew, he seemed like a kind guy. Ms. Banks was bound to win him over with her sincerity. With Matthew’s help, you will be up and walking soon.” Shakira unconsciously glanced at his legs, with her eyes filled with hope and clarity.Seeing the twinkle in her eyes as if she was more thrilled than he was. Walter squinted slightly. “Shakira, even if my legs get better, what you owe me needs to be repaid over time.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Shakira snapped out of it when he barked at her. She pouted. “I know, even if your legs heal, I still have to do all my chores.”Walter’s gaze darkened further. “Oh really, do you remember everything you have to do?”Shakira rolled her eyes inwardly and thought, Seriously? Big Devil has so little faith in me? Would I actually slack off?Shakira grumbled. “What else could it be? Cleaning, cooking, waking you up in the morning, and putting you to bed at night.Walter raised an eyebrow. “And what else?”Shakira was taken aback. “What else?”Walter gave her a significant look. “Seems like you forgot the most important task.”The most important? Wait a minute, could it be-Walter had talked about making their fake relationship real. Though sharing a bed, he had never taken it further. Shakira had gotten used to sleeping beside him. When she slept alone, she was a light sleeper. Now she was used to sleeping through the night with him. Actually, with the weather getting colder these days, she had sneaked her chilly feet into his side of the bed at night for warmth. As he couldn’t feel, he didn’t know. But when his legs get better, she would have to say goodbye to this little luxury.When Walter suddenly brought up the matter, Shakira’s face turned red with embarrassment. She mumbled. “Of course, I didn’t forget…His intense gaze made her both embarrassed and annoyed. “Come on. I didn’t forget. We’ll talk about it later. With that, she angrily got up and went into the bathroom.Walter watched her blush and hurry away, finally showing a hint of a smile on his face.Matthew only gave them the afternoon. By the time Walter and his group passed all the checks to get to Matthew’s place, Fiona had already been waiting at the door for a while.Seeing the familiar Maybach stop, Fiona eagerly approached, “Walter However, when she saw Shakira was with him too, she immediately frowned and pointed at Shakira in displeasure. “What’s she doing here?”III09 41 Thu, Oct 31Chapter 158Walter said in an even tone. She treated me for a while. Her conversations with Matthew could help him understand my condition better.”Fiona’s face flushed with anger and she croaked. “Walter. Have you forgotten it’s me who’s been keeping track of your health I’m more aware of your situation than anyone else. I’ve been running around for you and even persuaded Matthew to treat you. The way you’re treating me is really disheartening.”Walter: pressed his lips together, with his handsome face stern. Thave my medical team, and you chose to interfere. As for Matthew. I never asked for your assistance. If you’re upset about it. I can leave right now” Then, he signaled Brian to help him back into the car. Fiona was startled by Walter’s sudden change in demeanor. She was just angry that Shakira came along and said those things to brag about her own achievements to manipulate Walter, never intending to make him leave.Seeing his determined profile, she felt scared. “No, Walter, don’t go. It was hard to get Matthew to agree. He’s upstairs waiting for you. Don’t be mad at me. I’m a bit upset. Let’s talk this over can. No matter what. getting your legs treated is the most important thing Walter remained unmoved, with his expression cold. He disliked being threatened, and even more so, Fiona’s repeated attempts to boss him around under the guise of favors. In the past, when Fiona caused trouble, he could just ignore it. However, Fiona targeting Shakira was something he couldn’t tolerate.Fiona was truly afraid he would just walk away like that. She knew him too well, once he got stubborn, he would really do it. If he left, all of her recent humiliating efforts would have been in vain.Growing more anxious, Fionalened her tone and said urgently, “I didn’t mean to drive Shakira away, Walter. If you want to take her inside, just take her. I won’t complain anymore.” This time, Walter finally looked at her.Fiona quickly said. “Let’s head up. It’s not nice to keep Matthew waitingWalter nodded, finally agreeing to go inside. Fiona quietly sighed in relief, but when she turned around, she shot an angry glare at Shakira behind her back. Shakira didn’t care and followed Walter straight into the room. Nancy knocked on the door, heard a voice from inside, and then pushed it open to ask questions Fiona explained, “Matthew is inside. He likes peace and quiet and too many people going in might upset him, though he agreed to help with the treatment.” Fiona led them to the coffee room downstairs. Her words were polite, but inside, she was really annoyed. She hadn’t metMatthew even once.She had been so busy organizing everything here that she didn’t attend the summit herself and let her sister go in her place. The information about the four seniors was well-protected online, and she still didn’t know what Matthew really looked like. Shortly after, Nancy came out and said warmly. “Matthew requests Mr. Lopez and Ms. Nelson to come inside, while everyone else should wait outside.”Fiona grabbed Nancy’s hand and said, “Nancy, are you sure Matthew didn’t call for me? It’s me, after all. I’ve been taking care of him for so long. Can’t I at least see him?”Fiona thought, ‘Not seeing me is ok. Why Shakira go in? She was the dignified eldest daughter of the Banks family and was worth a fortune. She humbled herself to be his caregiver and carefully followed his every request.Yet, in the end, he actually allowed a humble maid to enter while leaving her outside. She was furious.09:41 Thu. Oct 31 GBChapter 158Nancy nodded confidently. “Matthew meant exactly that. I didn’t hear it wrong.I don’t believe it. I need to go in and ask-Fiona was interrupted, suddenly freezing in place, not daring to move. She felt a red laser beam shoot in through the window, stopping right between her eyebrows. SEND GIFT
