Chapter 270 - What She Just Witnessed

"I told you, my son is smarter than me. You chose to ignore it" Harry taunted his friend who still kept looking in the direction Daniel left. 

When Rachel saw her grandpa and Daniel come downstairs she got confused as she was sitting in the living room but didn't see Daniel coming.

"Daniel, you can go and check on Liz. Rachel, just see if he needs anything" James tried to bring them closer and taking advantage of it, Rachel followed Daniel to her mom's room.

Daniel seriously checked Liz's pulse.

"What the fuck is there to check, don't act Daniel" Rachel knew the next check up was supposed to happen a week later.

"Hey, I am pretending just act along with me"

Daniel checked Liz for five minutes and Rachel was restless to know why he was here but stood there quietly. After he was done she questioned him, "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I want to meet my girlfriend. Can't you and your dad understand such a small thing?" Daniel taunted her.

"Hey, don't you dare say anything against my father" Rachel warned him.

Daniel scoffed at her, "Do you even know what your dad did?"

Then he informed her how he came across Will and Harry after putting so much effort and climbing her window.

Rachel laughed after knowing what happened.

She stood on her toes and wrapped her arm around Daniel's neck and kissed him, Daniel hugged her waist and responded to her kiss with equal passion.

After a while she parted from him only to see Catherine standing at the door looking shocked at what she just witnessed.

Rachel's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Catherine standing there.

Daniel was confused seeing Rachel shocked so he casually turned around only to see his mother who was frozen at her spot.

…

Lisa and Emily reached their home.

"Lisa, Matt messaged me he prepared dinner for all of us, go and get ready, we will head downstairs" Emily informed Lisa as she just checked her phone but Lisa didn't respond to her as she was lost in her own deep thoughts.

"Lisa" Emily called her as she seemed lost.

"Yeah, what?"

"Did you even hear what I just said?" Emily looked at her sister with a questioning gaze.

"Umm, yeah, you asked me to freshen up"

"Yes and I also said that  Matt prepared dinner for us, so let's head downstairs"

When Lisa heard Matt's name, her heart again turned into a mess as for the last few hours she kept thinking about him.

Earlier after that close proximity she shared with Matt, she felt like something changed, it was all weird. At that moment Matt didn't seem like his regular self, he seemed like someone else. She was not sure why but she wanted to avoid him, she was not ready to meet him again.

"Ems, I am not feeling good. You go and have dinner" Lisa lied to her.

"What happened? Let me check" Emily tried to check her but Lisa smiled seeing her concern and assured her, "I am fine, I just wanna lie down for some time"

"Are you sure?" Emily was still worried.

"Yes" 

"I'll get the dinner for you then, go and rest" Emily went downstairs after changing into her comfortable clothes and Lisa went to bed to lie down recollecting that moment where Matt suddenly showed up from behind her and his argument with Steve.

After Matt left, Steve was very angry and she asked him why he was overreacting. Only after she questioned him did he stop bothering himself about Matt.

Lisa was not sure what she was feeling or why she was confused but she felt weird and she was not able to understand what this weirdness was about.

…

Patrick and Matt were waiting for Lisa and Emily before starting their dinner but when only Emily showed up, Matt got worried.

"Is Lisa still working at the hospital?" Matt asked her. 

If she indeed was then Matt planned to call Daniel and get his permission to take Lisa out of there but Emily's response calmed him down.

"No, she came back with me, she is upstairs."

"Oh, she will be coming in a few minutes then, let's start once she comes" Matt declared.

"No, she said she just wanted to lie down in bed. I'll pack dinner for her, I'll keep some aside now"

Matt got worried wondering if Lisa is not fine.

"Don't bother, I'll take some food for her right away, she must be hungry, if you will take it later then the food too will turn cold and she won't be able to enjoy it" 

While saying all this, Matt already grabbed one plate, served the food on it and covered it with another plate.

"I'll come back in two minutes" Saying this Matt left.

Everything happened so fast, that even before Emily and Patrick could understand and respond, Matt was gone.

"What is wrong with him?" Emily casually commented and sat at the dining table but Patrick kept looking at the door and wondered if he was overthinking about Matt and Lisa but for now he decided to keep quiet and served food for Emily and himself.

…

Matt opened the apartment door as he already knew the password and stepped inside the home. 

"Lisa" He softly called her name while heading towards her bedroom.

Lisa, who was lost in her deep thoughts got startled when she felt like she heard Matthew's voice.

She wondered if her ears were ringing but then she again heard Matthew's voice, softly calling her.

Before she could get down the bed, the door opened and Matt appeared in front of her with a plate in his hand.

"Are you alright?" Matt stepped towards her and placed the plate on the small side table next to her bed while he sat on the bed facing Lisa.

"Hmm" Lisa just nodded her head.

Matthew suddenly held the back of her head and pulled her closer and touched their foreheads making her heart flutter due to his actions.
