Bitter & Sweet
The Part 38

Matteo, who showed his sense of compassion to Matthew, could not be responded to anything by Chloe.

Because according to Chloe, she does not know how the treatment received from Matteo and Matthew to date.

In addition, Chloe is also aware that she has no right to judge, or interfere in the personal affairs of the McLean family.

However, until Matteo returns home, and Chloe later meets Matthew in her study, Chloe still thinks of Matteo.

"What else is troubling your concentration this time?" asked Matthew, who looked upset.

"I'm sorry, sir," said Chloe, aware of her negligence who did not notice what Matthew said.

Matthew snorted violently, then looked at Chloe fixedly. "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Ugh?" Chloe was surprised by Matthew's completely unusual question.

"You want to go for a walk?" Chloe asked back to make sure.

"Summer like it is today, it might be nice to go to the beach" Matthew said, then looked at his feet under the table. "But not with my feet like this."

"Hm ... Would you like to sunbathe near the pool?" Chloe tried to give me an idea, so Matthew wouldn't have to travel all the way.

Matthew was silent for a moment then nodded in agreement. "Now! ... Follow me there!"

Chloe tidied up Matthew's desk, then took Matthew to his room to change clothes, before they finally went to the swimming pool at the back of the house.

Matthew, who wore a loose T-shirt and shorts, then basked in the sun, lying on his back on a bench near the pool.

Meanwhile, Chloe chooses a bench covered with an umbrella, while checking her phone.

But after a few minutes, and Chloe feels nothing interesting on her phone, Chloe puts her phone on a small table nearby.

"Can you swim?" matthew asked, who was seen unrolling the bandage on his leg.

"Yes," Chloe replied, paying attention to what Matthew was doing. "Why did you open the bandage?"

"Go change clothes! ... I wait!" Matthew doesn't answer Chloe's questions, and instead just gives her directions.

Without lingering any longer, Chloe immediately went to the pavilion, obeyed Matthew's words, and changed into a one piece bikini.

When Chloe returns to the pool, Matthew is seen already in the pool.

Matthew had already taken off his loose-fitting sweatshirt, and swam from end to end of the pool, wearing only his shorts.

Seeing that Matthew seemed to be enjoying his activities in the pool, Chloe then sunbaked by sitting on the bench, while occasionally looking at Matthew who looked fit, while moving his entire body to break the water skin.

After several swims back and forth, Matthew is then seen pulling over, then calling Chloe, saying,

"Chelle! ... Get close to here! ... I have something to say!"

Thinking that there was something Matthew needed, Chloe approached the edge of the pool, then bowed slightly.

However, because she was completely unprepared for Matthew's quick and sudden movements, Chloe said nothing, as Matthew then pulled her into the pool with him.

"What are you doing?" chloe asked with a feeling of annoyance, while wiping the water from her face.

"I told you to change clothes, to accompany me to swim. And not just being a spectator" Matthew said, then seemed to laugh with satisfaction.

Chloe shook her head, and then thought of something. "Did your leg not hurt?"

"Slight ... But I can hold it," Matthew said, moving his injured leg in the water, then swimming in the opposite direction from the end of the pool where they were floating.

Chloe had just intended to get out of the pool, but suddenly, Matthew's voice cried out, making Chloe immediately turn to look at him.

"Chelle! ... Katherine! ... My legs are cramping!" At that very instant, Matthew seemed as if he could not swim anymore and looked like he was about to drown.

"Oh, gosh!" chloe said, panicking.

Instinctively, Chloe moves quickly by swimming towards Matthew, intending to help the man who seems to be drowning to the bottom of the pool.

Matthew, however, seems to be only teasing Chloe. Because when Chloe pulled it, floating on the skin of the water, Matthew just laughed out loud.

According to Chloe, it's not funny that Matthew jokes, because Chloe is really worried about making it, so her heart still feels pounding with fear.

It felt, Chloe was willing to slap Matthew back then, but she still held back, and just yelled at Matthew, saying,

At once Matthew stopped laughing, then looked at Chloe fixedly.

Matthew seemed to realize that Chloe was really worried about him, so he hugged Chloe, and said,

"I'm sorry ... I'm just kidding."

Matthew's treatment, it looks as if he wants to calm Chloe from her panic earlier, and indeed managed to make Chloe breathe again.

Chloe grunted rudely. "Never do it again! ... I thought something bad was going to happen to you."

Feeling that Matthew was unwilling to let go of her embrace, Chloe then tried to push Matthew away.

However, Matthew actually tightened his embrace, so Chloe cleared her throat to clear her throat that suddenly felt itchy, then said, saying,

"Can you let me go now? ... It feels so weird."

Matthew didn't seem to think that Chloe would say that, until she held onto both sides of Chloe's upper arms, and with her eyebrows pucker, Matthew looked at Chloe.

Matthew who was like a confused person, seemed no less confused than Chloe, who saw Matthew's unusual attitude.

"What's so weird?" Matthew seemed to be unable to hide his curiosity anymore.

"Your strange attitude" Chloe replied, spontaneously.

"Is something wrong? I only appreciate your actions worrying and trying to save me" Matthew said.

"Everyone who sees an emergency situation will definitely try to help. So you don't have to overdo it....

... Because right now, I don't think I'm dealing with Mister Matthew. It just feels like I'm with Mister Matteo" Chloe said.

"What do you mean?" The folds on Matthew's forehead looked deeper and deeper.

"I mean, you just confuse me. Right now you're joking, and being sweet, .. That's not the Mister Matthew I know. Mister Matteo who has such a nature," Chloe replied, to be honest.

"You compare me to Matteo?" ask Matthew, ketus.

"Tsk!" Chloe clucked, thinking about how to explain it to Matthew, so that Matthew would not get inflamed.

"You don't misunderstand me. All this time, I was able to distinguish you from Mister Matteo, just from the mannerisms, and the movements of the two of you....

... To be honest I'm happy, if you have the same behavior as Mister Matteo. But for a while, I was not used to it. So it feels weird" said Chloe, then smiled.

However, Chloe's explanation seems unsatisfactory to Matthew, because the man actually looks increasingly upset, then swim away from Chloe.

Chloe, who was getting used to Matthew's emotions, refused to respond any further, and chose to swim to the edge of the pool.

Before Chloe got out of the pool, Matthew, who had suddenly been nearby again, said,

"Didn't you pay attention to us?"

Matthew drew closer to Chloe, then pointed at the bottom corner of one of her eyes, as if telling Chloe to pay attention to that part of her face.

"See! ... I have a mole, while Matteo doesn't have one" Matthew said, appearing to be speaking seriously.

After watching her carefully for a while, Chloe could see that there was indeed a small mole, at the lower end of Matthew's left eye.

"That little ... is of course hard to see" chloe almost laughed.

"Aargha!" Matthew looked furious. "You should be able to distinguish us. Because I'm not the same as him."

"Of course! ... That's an easy thing! ... Because Mister Matteo is still sweeter, compared to you," Chloe said with a laugh, mocking Matthew.

"Sin...!" matthew said, with his voice rising.

Chloe was no longer afraid to face Matthew's anger, and still wanted to ridicule him. So Chloe then said,

"Good, Sir! ... I would carry a microscope lens with me wherever I went. So that I can see the mark in your eyes that's."

Matthew shook his head, and finally laughed along with Chloe.

"Take a look at you later!" matthew said, then pulled Chloe, until dragged back to the middle of the pool.
