Matthew returned to the Phoenix House, just as Harper was done with her bath. Seeing that he was back, She was about to ask if he had had dinner when he held onto her waist and rubbed her. "Harp, I'm hungry. A bowl of lotus seeds porridge was not enough for me."

This amused Harper. "I have kept the food warm. I thought you might still be hungry when you came back."

"Harp, I want to eat noodles cooked by you." His voice was gravelly low laced with desire. He was a hot-blooded male after all with a soft female body in his arms. Not to mention, it was the body of the woman he loved, so it was really hard for him to remain unaffected.

"But I just took a bath," Harper answered. "Anabel is a good cook. And the food is still warm. Your Highness..."

Seeing the eager look in Matthew's eyes made it hard for Harper to keep on refusing him. She went to the kitchen. "Someone made dishes for you, but you didn't eat. Instead, you came back and wanted to bother me."

"I only like the food cooked by my woman. I don't like eating dishes cooked by any other woman, even if they're delicious," Matthew said proudly.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness. You are right, whatever you say." Harper decided it was better to be agreeable. Matthew rolled his wheelchair close at her heels.

"You need to fry an egg for me." Matthew took the vegetables from Harper's hand. "Let me help you wash the vegetables."

"Okay," Harper answered and turned around to look for the eggs. Angelica and Peony sneaked a glance from outside. They immediately turned their heads when they saw Harper glare at them.

Anabel waved them away and said, "Y

"And, if possible, you should stay in the Phoenix House as long as you can. Don't go out, and don't get in touch with either the Medical Valley's head or his daughter. It's easy to guess that he's not a nice person with such a woman as his daughter. In order to make his daughter a princess, he may do worse than Denny has ever done. I will arrange more secret guards to protect you." Even though Matthew had prepared everything so thoroughly, he still worried about Harper. Thus, he insisted on repeating his instructions just to ensure her safety.

"Matthew." Harper held Matthew's hand. "I'm not a powerless woman. If I could be easily framed, I would have died many times in the Chu Clan mansion. You told me to believe in you, but you should believe in me too. I can protect myself."

Looking at Harper's serious face, Matthew shook his head. "No. I will keep you away from it. I need you to write down the treatment method, can you?"

"Of course. I'll write it for you right away. When you get the Tribulation Flower, just follow what I write. The three of them are physicians. I'm sure they won't make a mistake," Harper agreed easily.

"Thank you, Harp."

"You're welcome. We are a couple. As long as you're well, I'll be happy." Harper gave a slight smile. She had unconsciously accepted Matthew as her husband long ago.
