Chapter 157 What Are You Trying To Do
Matthew kissed the little girl on the cheek. “Thank you, Abby!”
For some reason, from the moment he met her, he felt an indescribable closeness to her.
Despite not liking children in the first place, he found that he did not mind the three children and even liked them a lot.
Is this what it feels like to extend your love for someone to the people close to them?
Matthew put Abby down on the couch before asking Hector, “Grandpa, how are you feeling today?”
He noticed that the old man was in good spirits, and his condition was also improving, so he hoped that his grandfather
would speak to him one day.
Hector stared at him while making a silent remark.
You fool. Your wife and children are in front of you. Why don’t you marry her so that they’ll become your legitimate
children?
Matthew raised an eyebrow. “Grandpa, Elizabeth is my secretary, and these children are hers. Should you miss the
children in the future, I’ll ask her to bring them along to accompany you.”
After he finished speaking, he leaned over to whisper into the old man’s ear, “If you want me to father a child, it may not
happen anytime soon. You’ll have to wait a few more years, so I can only satisfy your desire by letting you interact with
someone else’s children.”
Then, he stood up, grinning devilishly.
There’s no way
having children.
I’ll father a child with Tiana. At the most, I’ll marry her to fulfill his wishes. He can’t blame me for not
Hector slowly turned to glance at Elizabeth before looking at his handsome grandson in front of him
He wanted to speak or write out his thoughts, but the condition of his body did not allow him to do so, causing him to feel
extremely frustrated.
Everyone had dinner happily, and Hector even ate a small portion of his food, which greatly delighted Chelsea.
While Elizabeth was answering a call, the three children followed Chelsea as she pushed Hector out for a walk. Hence,
Elizabeth did not notice that she and Matthew were the only ones left at the table.
NO
The call was from Jessica, and Elizabeth could tell that something was not right from her tone.
hat something was not right from her tone.
“If you didn’t manage to negotiate the price of the house, wait a little more. Don’t be anxious about it, Jess.”
“Thank you, Lizzy! Pearl’s condition has deteriorated lately. I’m scared that she won’t be able to wait for the bone marr
so I’m going to find Mr. Johnson again and beg him.”
Elizabeth’s heart clenched in pain when she heard Jessica’s sobs from the other end of the line.
“I’ll help you think of a solution.”
She ended the call with tears brimming in her eyes, feeling upset upon thinking of Pearl.
It must be very hard for Jessica as well since she’s alone.
Meanwhile, Matthew was scrutinizing her. Sensing a pair of eyes on her, Elizabeth brushed off her thoughts.
“Oh? Where did they go?”
She truly did not hear them leaving.
His lips curled up in a smile. “They went for a walk. Are you done with your meal, Ms. Wade?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
“Let’s head upstairs. I’ve a job for you.”
Right after saying that, he rose to his feet and walked out.
Elizabeth hurriedly stood up and followed him. After all, he was her boss, so she had to listen to him.
They went to the third floor. Matthew waited for her to enter his bedroom before closing the door and locking it.
Upon hearing the click of the lock, Elizabeth turned her head and looked at him.
“Mr. Hilton…”
She subconsciously glanced at the door and put her guard up.
Matthew pulled out his tie and began to unbutton his shirt.
Startled, she quickly backed away. “P-Matthew, what are you trying to do?”
He told me to go upstairs, and now he’s removing his clothes. What exactly is he trying to do? Guessing his intention, she could not help but tremble in fear.
He chuckled deviously. “What do you think?”
