Matthew and I entered the store that he and I saw as soon as the elevator doors opened. This store was decorated very luxuriously but still retained the cozy feeling like a family. As soon as we entered the store, the staff quickly came out to greet us. "May I help you? What do you need?" An employee asked. Her gaze on Matthew seemed to light up, perhaps she recognized who Matthew was. "I want to choose for my wife some clothes that suit her, are there any maternity dresses in your store that look a bit light and elegant?" As soon as Matthew mentioned the two words "my wife", the employee's eyes opened extremely wide. Surprise was evident on her face. A lot of other people also turned to look at Matthew and me, obviously they didn't think he was married either. "Excuse me." Seeing that the employee did not answer, Matthew spoke up. Startled, she immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes, of course we do. Our brand is a brand specializing in mother and baby products. The items in the st
Not only me, Matthew but everyone in the store was surprised to see Jack here.Although Jack did not directly manage his family's business, he was still the son of a wealthy family, moreover he was a young lecturer. This made him one of the typical young faces in the country.I didn't think Jack would come here to buy someone a maternity dress or a baby toy. Maybe he just passed by here, saw us in this shop, so he also came in to greet us."Why are you here?" Before I could speak, Matthew spoke first.Jack smiled, looking at me and Matthew. "Today I also want to go buy some miscellaneous items, just passing by here, I met two people so I went over to say hello."As expected, he answered exactly what I thought."If you're done with greetings, then go away, don't affect our happy mood." Matthew was extremely happy. He didn't seem to want to see Matthew.The first time I met the two of them, they also talked to each other in a very grumpy tone as if they wanted to compare who was better
It had faced great difficulty to be able to pull Matthew out of that mom-and-pop store.I originally planned to buy some things for my child there, but this plan was ruined by Matthew and Jack.After leaving that store, Jack and Matthew went their separate ways, both seemingly determined not to see each other again.We didn't have any interest in buying anything either, so as a result we both returned with only two dresses for me and nothing for our children.Until I got into the car, I didn't say a word to Matthew. Matthew knew that I was angry with him, so he didn't dare to cause trouble anymore."Why did you and your attitude to Jack become so harsh?" I asked Matthew coldly.This was his only chance to be honest, if he didn't give me a satisfactory answer then I would get really mad at you and stop talking to him. I swore to myself that this time I wouldn't forgive him so easily.A shopping trip that was supposed to be fun for me and Matthew was ruined halfway through, how could I
Matthew still seemed unhappy about it, but I ignored him. In fact, I was the one who had the right to feel discontent. It was very difficult for me and him to have the opportunity to go out together, but I didn't have a good time before I came back. We didn't even have the opportunity to eat outside, but returned to the mansion to eat.The feeling of looking forward to a trip but having to return before the scheduled time for some unconvincing reason made me not happy at all.Since being pregnant until now, I rarely go out of the mansion so I really wanted to go out. If I kept staying in the mansion, I would be sad to death.Because I knew that Jack had no bad intentions towards me, I was in a good mood, I wasn't angry with Matthew anymore, but what I didn’t expect was that he was not happy. This made me extremely angry.If he didn't want peace, I wouldn't give you peace. I stopped talking to Matthew until he calmed me down.Actually, even though I didn't want to admit it, when I foun
It was already getting dark when we returned to the Brown family mansion. I and Matthew waited for the car to stop at the Brown family's mansion, then it was time for dinner.Along the way, I worried a lot. When I first went to the Brown family mansion, I wasn't nervous at all. That time I didn't value my relationship with Matthew, nor did I need his parents' love, so of course I didn't need to worry, but this time it was a lot different. I was very worried very much, even though I knew in advance that they did not like me, in my heart I still hoped that they would blame me again.I had been in contact with Mr. and Mrs. Brown many times, especially Mrs. Brown. She was a good mother-in-law and a kind and generous woman. She treated me very well but unfortunately I made her sad.Actually, I had never regretted telling my friend to break up with that man because my words were my true thoughts. She was my best friend, so of course I wanted her to give up a bad person to find a better one.
When Matthew and I got out of the car, we saw a maid come out the door. As soon as she looked at us, that maid immediately showed a worried expression and ran right over to us as if something terrible was about to happen."What's wrong? Why do you have to run so fast?" Matthews asked the maid, looking displeased. Although Matthew didn't blame me every time I ran around, that didn't mean he wouldn't blame others. He was born into a wealthy family and lived an almost aristocratic lifestyle. From a young age he learned the rules about everything, including an important rule to be elegant when walking and standing, not to run around.Although the society was increasingly developed, the lifestyle of the upper-class families had changed slightly in the direction of more liberal and less rules, but some important rules were still maintained to this day.The maid was frightened by Matthew's words, she immediately stopped then approached us at her normal walking speed.When she was standing a
"Did he say anything else?" I carefully asked.I was afraid that a new storm would continue to strike. Life was full of difficulties, we still experienced the old waves and the new ones had already come.Alden had said so, showing that he had more or less doubts, and even had the evidence in his hand. But I thought the possibility of him grasping the evidence was not too high. Matthew was a careful man, so he wouldn't let anyone else get the proof of our marriage contract so easily.Our marriage was really a fake marriage so no matter how careful we were, there would be loopholes. If other people didn't suspect us, they could overlook some of those small loopholes, but if they already suspected us, they would definitely find evidence.I was a little scared, my hands involuntarily grasping Matthew's. I looked up at Matthew, silently asking him what to do.I didn't dare to hope that after tonight, the problems between me and Matthew's family would be completely resolved, just hoping thi
Our fake marriage might temporarily go undetected, but that didn't mean it wouldn’t be revealed. As long as Alden was suspicious, he would definitely be able to find out.I understood Laura's anxiety, I comforted her a lot, but in fact I was as worried as she was.If my parents and other members of the Brown family knew this, my position in Brown Corporation would be shaken. No one wanted to let a liar become a company leader.Although I married Laura initially because I had enough power to solve the problems in the Brown Corporation, it was no longer important now. My grandfather founded the Brown Corporation, he put all his effort into developing it. Thanks to the corporation, I was able to become the person I was today, so I did not let the Brown corporation fall. The Brown Corporation had gone through a difficult period, so even without my leadership, the Brown Corporation would still develop normally.In recent years, I had tried a lot, I had devoted my time, effort and everythi
After the wedding party was over, we immediately went on our honeymoon. Where we went was the golden beach in the south of the country. It was one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. There was also a legend that said that couples who went there together would stay together forever.The two of us were originally planning to go on our honeymoon overseas, but because Matthew was still worried about my health, he didn't want me to go away.I emphasized to Matthew many times that my health was stable, the doctor also said that my health was much better but Matthew still did not believe it. He insisted that I still hadn't fully recovered.I also argued with Matthew. Anyway, for me, traveling domestically or abroad was not too different. If so, I would let Matthew choose where he wanted to go.Matthew was really looking forward to his honeymoon. He prepared a lot so that the two of us could have the sweetest moments. Just pitiful for my son being left at home. I wanted to take my s
After thinking a lot, we decided to name my son Hubert. Matthew and I did not expect Hubert to be more talented than Matthew, but only wished he could grow up in peace, health and happiness.Hopefully the Brown family fights would end here. These fights had indeed caused many heartbreaking consequences. Human greed was scary, hatred was even more terrifying. If Matthew's uncle had not had an affair, this tragedy would not have happened. After all, James was still a pitiful person.I sympathized with him, but I could not help him and dare not help him. Who knew what troubles he could cause when he escaped the Brown family's supervision?I didn’t want my son to know the evil tricks and excessive desires of people. As a mother, I hoped my son would be an innocent child, but I understood that in order for him to be at peace, he needed to know how to protect himself and of course he had to know the evil and wickedness in society so that he could be prevented. No matter how much I wanted to
“Let me… take a closer look at you.” I lowered my voice. It was very difficult for me to say right now. When I finished the sentence, I was out of breath.Matthew brought the baby closer to me, and at the same time gave me advice in a low voice. "Don't try to talk anymore, you have to take good care of your health before you can take care of the baby."Indeed, I was very tired right now, it took me a lot of effort to open my eyes. As long as I could see my baby and Matthew and confirm that they are safe, I had nothing to worry about. I could rest assured to wait until I was really healthy so that I could hold my baby in my arms.The baby was really small, because it had not been long since his birth, so his skin was a bit red, his eyes were closed, he was still used to sleeping a lot. Matthew said that he looked a lot like me but all the babies that had just been born were so similar, I couldn't tell right now our baby was more like Matthew.After I woke up, I had to stay in the hospi
A truck was right in front of me, it went at extremely high speed towards me. It seemed that I was so small that the driver did not recognize me. He was still going at a very high speed.I reflexively dodged the truck but my running speed couldn't be as fast as the truck's. In the moment I thought I was about to die, the driver turned the wheel a little to the right.I fell to the ground but reflexively rolled to the side to avoid the oncoming truck.Finally the truck stopped, and although I was lucky not to be run over, my head was hit by a rock. My blood came out a lot. Before I went into a coma, I raised my hand to touch it. Red blood stained my arm.My belly suddenly pain, I reflexively put my hand on my belly. Baby, You had to be strong, we had to wait for your father to come save us. We would both be fine. Just get rid of Kate and James, we wouldn't need to fear anything anymore.That was the only wish that I wanted to pray to God. Please God, don't let anything happen to my bab
I couldn't let Kate and James use me to hurt Matthew. If they could use me once, they could use me many more times. I didn't allow myself to be Matthew's weakness.“I will not let you achieve your evil wishes.” I didn’t hesitate to tell her.“Now that you have no more decision-making power, all decisions are in my hands.” Kate said arrogantly."Really?" I smiled.“Where do you get the confidence to talk to me like that? Do you think you're still Matthew's wife? Do you think you are still in such a high position to tell us?” Kate was angry. “I tell you, you are just a hostage in my hands right now. Your life and death are all my decisions, so you don't have the right to raise your voice to me."“James must have investigated a lot of things related to me.” I looked at her.She also looked straight into my face, her eyebrows raised. She wanted to show that she had more power than me now.I sighed, let her be pleased now, after all, she didn't always have the opportunity to be so pleased.
The maid's face was so scary right now, her eyes were cold, I had never seen that look on her body.“Kate!” I shouted. “We're going somewhere?” Kate was the maid's name.“Go where we need to go.” She smirked, her face extremely scary. Up until now, she had always been a gentle person, even sometimes losing out compared to other maids but she was still happy and didn't want to compete with anyone. Although she was not very agile and was respected by others, she was always smiling and cheerful.Sometimes I admired her very much. There were times when I felt that this life was too difficult. I would look at how she was always cheerful and optimistic so as not to lose faith in life.I felt that she had the best personality among the maids in the mansion but just one look in her eyes made me feel that my previous judgments were completely wrong.She was not as simple as she appeared on the outside.Car windows were not closed tightly. Cold winds blew into the car, making the already cold a
Holding the phone in my hand, I felt that my heart rate was extremely fast. Without thinking much, I called Matthew's office.His secretary said that he went out with Brian a long time ago and still hadn't come back. I asked her where Matthew had gone, she just said that Matthew was suddenly out, which was completely out of his schedule. He didn't mention anything else, so they didn't know where he was going.The secretary's words really made me unable to calm down. Where did Matthew go? Why didn't you answer my phone? Why didn't even Brian answer my phone? Did the two of them meet something bad?Matthew's sudden no news plus Rebecca's warning messages and my previous scary dreams made it impossible for me to think of anything good.My baby kicked me repeatedly in the stomach as if to remind me that I had to calm down but I still had no way to calm down.All the signs around me point to something bad, so I couldn't calm down.I was extremely tired, my legs suddenly became soft and the
I woke up from a scary dream. My whole body was drenched in sweat. I tried not to control my breathing but still couldn't worship normally. What should I do to get out of this depressed state?I didn't know and not many people could tell me the answer.The air inside the mansion was always as fresh as the first day I came here, but this freshness couldn't make me calm down and think about good things.I tried learning to meditate, but it didn't work for me either.I didn't find Rebecca, but that didn't mean she didn't find me.When the housemaid told me that Rebecca was visiting me, I couldn't help but be surprised. After bad news about her appeared in major newspapers, her reputation went downhill. Even her family's business was affected, her father was furious and froze her assets.After that incident, Rebecca lost a lot, she no longer had a career, no longer had the support of her family, and could only struggle to find a new direction.Maybe she really hated me and Matthew. Not on
"Absolutely can't let Matthew out today." That was what was on the message. I didn't know what the purpose of this message was but I was really scared.Why couldn't Matthew go out today? The message did not specify the reason but only such a line of warning.Why was that person texting me and not Matthew? This question had been repeated over and over in my head. The only reason that I could think of right now was that the person thinks that I was a person who easily believed other people's words. If this message had been sent to Matthew, he would have probably deleted it and didn't care about it. But I was different, I couldn't ignore these things.Because happiness was so hard to come by, I was afraid of losing everything I had right now. I was a weak person, weaker than I thought of myself.I held the phone in my hand for a long time, until the phone screen turned black, I did not put it down, nor did I make the phone screen light up, but just stared at the black screen and thought
