The talk time between me and Jack was too short, I had just met him, only had time to say hello and before I could ask for his contact method, I was prevented by Matthew. Jack was a very famous person at my school. I had a lot of things to learn from him, but such a good opportunity was missed like that.I couldn't be like Matthew, just directly going out of the bookstore with a very cold face and not saying goodbye. Before leaving Jack's bookstore, I turned around and waved goodbye to him.Matthew was Jack's best friend, he might be used to his behavior but I was not close to Jack, I had to leave a good impression on him, maybe it would benefit me in the future. Relationships were also good resources. Having good relationships could help me have many benefits in the future, so if I got to know someone, I would definitely leave a good impression on them.Jack smiled and waved at me as he saw me out of the store, then he continued to be busy with arranging his books."You're so rude, a
Brian took me and Matthew to a store on the fifth floor of the mall. Outside the store there was a sign with the words “Young and Beauty”, each letter in that sign had a different color, changing from red to purple, like a rainbow.Most of the clothes displayed in Young and Beauty were young and dynamic, very suitable for students. I knew this brand. When I was in high school, my classmates also used to wear this brand's clothes. Items of Young and Beauty from clothes, shoes, bags to accessories were brightly colored, clearly expressing the personality of customers.The target customer of this brand was students. They did very well as every student knew this brand and most of the students had at least one item from this brand in their wardrobes. Of course, I was not among those students.Before, because I didn't have much money, I didn't buy things at Young and Beauty. But in fact I didn't like these items of this brand very much. I prefered a gentle style to an active style.Of cours
On the way back to the mansion, the atmosphere in the car was extremely stuffy, Matthew silently looked out the window, his eyes were very cold. Neither Brian nor I said anything. We were both afraid of being the object of Matthew's anger.The maids in the mansion once told me that when Matthew hadn't had an accident, Rebecca was extremely good to him. No matter how busy he was, even if he could only return once a few months, she would still love him and be willing to wait for him. Rebecca often brought her homemade food to Matthew. They ate together, the atmosphere was very cozy then.When she went to Matthew's mansion, she would do everything on her own, from cooking, arranging clothes, cleaning the house to trimming plants in the garden. The maids were very fond of her because she was extremely gentle and friendly, never pretending to be the master and made everything difficult for them. On the contrary, when they made a mistake, Rebecca even said nice things about them in front of
If Matthew and his ex were back together then he would still have to pay me the amount of money written in the contract but I did not have to perform any obligations to him.Then I would be the one who benefits the most, but somehow I couldn't be happy. Making money was hard, making money by signing a marriage contract looked easy, but it was actually a lot harder than making money by the normal way.After coming home Matthew and Brian went into Matthew's office and I stood outside, I didn't wander around, just stood there waiting. I wasn't waiting for Matthew but I was waiting for Brian, I wanted to know what he thought about Matthew and his ex.About five minutes later Brian came out. I immediately went in front of Brian, stopping him."I want to know about Matthew and his ex-girlfriend?" I asked Brian directly."You shouldn't ask about that." Brian sighed. "It's a matter of the past that won't affect your contract.""Really?" I said skeptically. “Looking at Matthew's attitude, I do
Contrary to Brian's predictions, when John arrived, Matthew was still obediently practicing. I passed his practice room, looked inside through the window, I saw that he was able to walk about a meter on crutches.I was going to go inside to see how he was practicing but realized it was none of my business so I decided to go to my bedroom. Only before I could take a few steps, a voice forced me to stop."Laura?" That voice belonged to no one else but John, Matthew’s personal doctor.If it were Matthew I could just ignore him and continue to walk, but I couldn't do that to Jack. If I did, he would assume that I had something to displease with him."Hi, John." I leaned over and poked my head inside, smiling at John.“Laura, come in and see, Mr. Brown can walk a very long distance on crutches.”How can he consider a meter a long distance? His magnifying ability was getting better and better. Of course, for Matthew, walking such a distance was a huge success."I just saw it, thanks for hel
Matthew calmed down faster than I thought. Seeing him appear at the door and sweetly telling me to come downstairs for dinner, I suddenly felt my action on my afternoon was a little overreacted. I shouldn't be so angry with him. It was best for us to keep our relationship normal until we got a divorce."Come down to eat, I bought a strawberry cake for you today, I bought it at the bakery that you like, the cake is really delicious. I ate a piece already, it's really delicious." Matthew said in a soft voice."I overslept so I didn't come down to eat on time." I smiled shyly. "Thank you for buying me cake and also calling me for dinner.""It's okay, hurry down and eat, you normally don't eat much, you're so thin, so don't skip meals." Matthew rolled his eyes.“Matthew, were you mad at me then?” I looked him straight in the eye and asked.If he wasn't angry, he certainly wouldn't have broken things. I thought that he was so angry with me that he would definitely not take the initiative t
Since that night, Matthew and I rarely talked to each other. We did our own job and didn't care about the other person's business.I was a bit unfamiliar at first but then things settled down. Matthew started going to the company while I tried to get ready to start going back to school.I heard that today Matthew was moving from the car to the wheelchair by himself, no longer needing the help of others. And he started to use crutches to move around, when his legs were tired, he used a wheelchair.Mr and Mrs. Brown was very happy, they wanted to visit us but Matthew refused, he said that we would visit them in a few days, they didn't need to visit us.I didn't know “in a few days” was which day, and so Mr and Mrs. Brown did. In fact, I really didn't want to see Mr and Mrs. Brown because every time I saw them, I had to rack my brains to find a topic to talk about. And moreover, I had to try to be as intimate as husband and wife with Matthew. Now that Matthew and I were keeping a normal
The misunderstandings between me and Matthew seemed to have been resolved. After breakfast, a driver drove me to school. I had never seen this driver before. Did Matthew just hire him? I didn’t know and I didn't ask him either. Hiring a new driver was no big deal for Matthew.I didn't think much of it, I just got in the car and let him take me to school. As Matthew said, the driver dropped me off at a location far from my school, and I had to walk a long way to get there. But that was the only way that I wouldn't be noticed by others.Before getting out of the car, I reminded the driver that when I called him to come pick me up. He just needed to wait for me at the exact place he dropped me off.Since today was the first day of admission procedures, a lot of students came to the school. Along the way, I saw many smiling faces, I couldn't help but smile too.I finally got the chance to get into the university I had always dreamed of. I had watched a lot of videos and photos of the scho
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
