All Chapters of Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She wondered where this insecurity came from, she wasn’t an insecure person to begin with. But her heart was telling her that Matthew was hiding something from her but she couldn’t find a clue. “Ignore it. My mom doesn’t know me well.” Matthew said while he stroked her back, obviously trying to console her. “Okay.” Dwelling in her fear and doubt would only rob them with the joy brought by their love with each other. Thus, she decided not to be caged in these negative thoughts. Matthew was relieved. He wanted to come clean about his intention when marrying her but he found no courage to do it. He was afraid that she couldn’t accept it and leave him. She was a law student and knew how to fight him if he refused to divorce her. Matthew made sure to compensate Vanessa handsomely and had her sign an agreement that she was not to appear and bother him after receiving the money and the apartment. “Where are you going?” Evelyn’s shrill voice rang as they walked past them. “To the

The time he noticed Dexter’s sly smile while asking about Kirsten, Matthew had prepared himself mentally to act nonchalantly if he mentioned Vanessa. “Yeah, I also heard that Gray Industries was moved to Rotoni,” Matthew nodded with a smile and added immediately, not giving Dexter a time to respond. “And by the way, did you hear that Rex Howell is welcoming a baby with his new wife?” Dexter was almost choked to death by Matthew’s deliberate move. Rex Howell was his ex - wife's husband. She had been having an affair with Rex while married to Dexter. In their three years of marriage, his former wife had never gotten pregnant. Rumor said that Dexter was infertile hence the extra marital affair. “Kirsten, Matthew?” Donna came just in time, hindering Dexter from retaliating. He quickly moved away as though he was running away from something. Kirsten turned, her eyes twinkle in admiration. “You are absolutely stunning, Donna.” “I’m honored to be called stunning by the campus belle a

Vanessa’s bright eyes dimmed the moment her eyes locked with Matthew’s indifferent gaze. He did not give her a satisfactory reason as to why he was ending their decade - long relationship, entirely severing any connection with her. She asked if he had already found a woman to replace her but he said that his feelings for her no longer exist. Deducing that because they were miles apart that Matthew’s love for her grew cold, Vanessa decided to come back despite knowing that Norman would do something to crush her family’s company back in Rotoni. She couldn’t care less, she just wanted to be with Matthew. Standing beside Matthew was Steven, he had been working with Matthew ever since he bought one of Roosevelt's partly owned subsidiaries. He knew Vanessa and Matthew had broken up a long time ago but he had no idea that Matthew didn’t really break up with her while he was with Monalisa and even after he got married to Kirsten. Puzzled to see the woman again after so many years, Steven

At the beginning, Matthew was unfazed when Knox put the blame on him. However, Knox’s last sentence ruffled Matthew’s feathers. Just the thought of Kirsten being in another man’s arms made him mad. And yet, he could not vent his anger as Knox was Kirsten’s beloved brother. “Shut up! You don’t know what you're saying!” Kirsten said pointedly. Knox looked at Kirsten with an aggrieved expression. Kirsten never used such a harsh tone to him and never once got angry at him even when he acted like a spoiled child to her. Because of this, he started to dislike Matthew. “I was never scolded by you but because of your husband you scolded me. You have changed Kirsten.” Knox wanted Kirsten to realize that the untoward incident today was because of Matthew. “James would never let this thing happen to mom if he’s your husband.” Matthew was secretly pleased that Kirsten chose to stand for him even when it would hurt her brother. Kirsten closed her eyes and rubbed her temple, trying hard not to

In the middle of the dinner, Kirsten caught sight of Vanessa from afar. Having noticed that Kirsten was looking elsewhere, Matthew asked with a frown. “Who are you looking at?” “The woman I met this afternoon. She told me that her boyfriend, in order to protect her, got engaged to a woman his family had chosen for him.” A noticeable repulsion flashed in her eyes which was not lost on him. Realizing the similarity of the story to his, Matthew turned his head and looked at the direction Kirsten was looking at and saw Vanessa. “Call of nature,” Matthew said while he stood. In a haste he headed to the restroom and called the bodyguards following them discreetly and barked an instruction. Seeing that Vanessa was in panic when intercepted by two men in black suits, Kirsten went over to check what was happening. “I don’t know you, why would I come with you!” Vanessa answered sharply, trying to push her way out of the men but they held her arms. “Hey, what are you doing to her?” Kirsten
