Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife Chapter 24 - Cooing to a Baby
Consumed by her thoughts, Kirsten didn’t hear Matthew. The man patiently waited for her to answer but the answer was long in coming. And it made him realize that the woman beside him wasn’t paying attention to him because she was preoccupied and it bothered him. He tapped her shoulder gently. Kirsten was snapped out from her pondering and turned her head to look at Matthew. “What’s bothering you?” Matthew repeated his question. “Nothing,” she shook her head and rested her head on his shoulder. She blinked so she wouldn’t cry. She would just enjoy her time with him while they were together. Every minute with him was important and she would use it to create memories with him. At least when the time comes that they have to part ways, she had a lot of good memories that would keep her heart warm. “I’m here, tell me what’s troubling you.” Matthew pulled her to his embrace and stroked her back. “It’s nothing, really, it’s nothing. Exhaustion is just setting in.” Kirsten found a

At once Matthew's body went taut as a bow string. "Matthew what's wrong? Are you still there?" Vanessa asked concernedly as he suddenly stopped talking. "I'll hang up, I'll call back." Matthew said with a soft voice so Kirsten could not hear him, pressed the end call and strode to Kirsten. "Why are you still awake?" He looked intently at Kirsten's reaction when he wrapped his arm around her small waist. Kirsten shyly leaned her head on his chest and replied, "I couldn't sleep after taking a bath." Relief washed over Matthew that she had not heard his conversation with Vanessa. With this he reminded himself to lock the door of the study when talking to Vanessa. She must not know his plan otherwise everything would be destroyed. He should be careful, he couldn’t make Vanessa wait any longer. "Next time you have to force yourself to sleep." He chided her with a gentle tone. "Mm," she hummed as she brushed her cheek on his chest like a cat and looked at him. "Are you done with your
Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife Chapter 26 - Stay Away From My Wife
Could not stand it any longer, Kirsten looked away. She wasn’t going to torture herself and watch her beloved husband wrapping other woman with his coat. All of a sudden, the suit jacket draped over her was taken away causing her to tremble as the biting cold autumn air swept across her. “Give your coat to your cousin,” Matthew spoke coldly as he wrapped Kirsten with his coat and hugged her protectively. Arriving in the scene with two women drenched and Kirsten being encapsulated in Matthew’s arms, Ashley asked, “What happened here?” “Sugar,” Anthony went near Ashley. “What do you expect when my trouble maker cousin shows up?” Monalisa was Matthew’s ex - fiancee and with Kirsten being in Matthew’s arms, she had put two and two together. Kirsten began to cough. Matthew looked at Monalisa who was standing beside Anthony and Ashley with a piercing cold gaze. “Better pray that my wife won’t get sick otherwise you won’t like what I’ll do to you.” Matthew spat coldly. Matthew took K

“Leaving so soon? Why don’t you stay for dinner?” Norman asked when Matthew turned and took steps towards the main door. Matthew swiveled and looked at his grandpa, his lips curled up into a faint smile but there was a remarkable sparkle in his eyes. “I have a wife waiting for me at home to have dinner together.” “Alright you go,” Norman waved his hand in resignation. “Grandpa!” Monalisa grabbed Norman’s arm aggrievedly. But the old man did not say anything. ***“I will be away for a two week business trip,” Matthew said as he spooned Kirsten. He felt her body stiffened. He chuckled and said, “You are going to miss me, aren’t you?” Kirsten recalled the contract and there was no stipulation prohibiting her from falling in love with him. So it was just fine for her to fall in love with him but the question was, did he fall in love with her too? Kirsten turned to look at him, hugging his neck. “If I said ‘yes’, what would you do?” “Do you?” Matthew threw back the question. “It’s

Ultimately, she was able to say it. But an amalgam of happiness and glum spread in her chest. She was happy that she finally let out what was in her heart but at the same time sad as he had only grunted in response to what she said and hung up the phone immediately. “Kirsten, your husband is really super rich!” Knox said as they got into the Maybach. “Where to, Mrs Roosevelt?” Tony asked while Kisrten was fastening her seat belt. “To the mall, Tony,” Kirsten replied and held Gillian’s hand. Tony followed them wherever they went and carried their shopping bags. Tony had to call another body guard for help and in under fifteen minutes, two men appeared helping him. “Mom, let’s buy clothes for you and Klaire.” The bags that the bodyguards were carrying were all for Knox and some other things needed in the house. “My clothes are still fine.” Gillian has no reason to buy new clothes, particularly branded clothes as most of the time stayed at home since Kirsten took care of all thei

Kirsten plucked her courage and said, “Grandpa, please excuse me, as I have told you earlier, I have to study for my upcoming bar exam.”“Go!” Norman spoke coldly.Kirsten turned and ascended the stairs with Donna in tow.“Thank you for standing up for me.

He loves me and would never hurt me.” James lovingly looked down at the petite woman in his arms. “I won’t allow anyone to bully my woman, including her brother.” “Lovey dovey!” Kirsten mutter of amusement blossomed into an enormous belly laugh.

Five days had passed since Matthew left but Kirsten hadn’t received a call or message from him. She attempted to call but the line was always busy. The mounting pressure of getting substantial evidence to exonerate her mom and the doubt floating in her mind was taking their toll on Kirsten's emotional and physical health. Good thing that Mark was there to cheer his mother up, alleviating the anxiety she was feeling. She had the feeling that what happened years ago was going to happen again.

Before the sun set, Matthew’s car stopped at the courtyard. He was held up and didn’t manage to come home as planned because of some company matters. Upon informing her that he can’t keep her company, though Kirsten didn’t make it difficult for him, he heard the disappointment in her tone. Eager to see Kirsten, Matthew opened the car door, not wasting a moment. With large steps, he walked to the mansion. Gemma had just come out of the study at the time Matthew arrived at the door of the study. “How is she?” Matthew asked quietly. “She hadn’t stopped working since after she took a stroll after lunch,” Gemma informed him, Matthew nodded, holding the door handle, with a click he pushed the door. Absorbed in her work, Kirsten didn’t hear the clicking sound and kept her eyes trained on the screen of her MacBook. From where he stood, he could see her side profile. Silently he watched her with a smile hovering his lips. Matthew cleared his throat to get her attention and Kirsten whiske

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Kirsten massaged her temple. She didn’t want to disappoint her half sister but her mom needed her too. What should she do? “Where are you now?” Kirsten asked and let out a sigh. Discussing such a crucial thing with her sister over the phone felt not right for her. She decided to talk to her in person. “Just disembarked from the plane,” Sherry answered, sighing. “I will head to the police and see Gustaff.” “Come and see me after you speak with Gustaff.” Fatigue laced Kirsten’s voice as she spoke but Sherry did not notice it because she was preoccupied with Gustaff’s matter. “Alright, I’ll see you then,” Sherry said and slid the end call button. Without being asked, Matthew drew Kirsten to him and had her prop her body on his hard chest and surrounded her in his arms. “Take a nap. I will wake you up when we’re home,” Matthew whispered in her ear and pressed his lips on her temple. “Mm,” humming, she shut her eyes though she had no plan on ta
