Chapter 23 Rascal
Both Arthur and Antony were staring at her lips with furrowed brows.
“Mommy, perhaps you should go see a doctor,” her sons said.
Cody walked into the bedroom with medicine. She overheard the children saying that
Elizabeth’s lips were swollen. Cody could not help but burst into laughter.
Having been young before, Cody could tell at first glance as to what had happened to
Elizabeth’s lips.
“There’s no need to go to the hospital. My lips will be fine after two days,” assured
Elizabeth.
Seemingly in a daze, Elizabeth touched her lips as she felt a sense of numbness and tingling
pain. An inappropriate image flashed through her mind. Initially, she had thought that it was a
dream. Did it really happen?
She cursed inwardly as realization dawned upon her. Matthew Hilton, you, ‘scal!
Elizabeth did not tell any of them what had happened on that day, especially her sons.
After all, both the boys were fearless. If they knew what Matthew had done, they would
demand an explanation from him. The boys were no match for a powerful man like Matthew.
Regardless of what had happened, she had checked with Dominic. It was possible that
Matthew could lose tens of millions in a morning for missing his meetings..
Elizabeth could only take that incident as receiving a big favor from Matthew. They would
have nothing to do with each other once she paid off her debt.
At the same time, Abby was anxious to know if Matthew had dropped by. She shook
Elizabeth and asked, “Lizzy, was a handsome man here today?”
Matthew was by far the most attractive man Abby had seen. Of course, her brothers were
good looking too. Abby thought complimenting Matthew was just the same as praising her
brothers since they looked alike.
Chapter 23 Rascal
Elizabeth thought that Cody had seen Matthew and told the children.
After all, Cody was really close with the children, and she would talk about every single
thing with them.
“Yes. A handsome man came and took care of me. Are you happy now?” Elizabeth said
reluctantly.
Upon hearing that, Abby jumped in joy. “That’s great! We’re going to have a daddy!”
As soon as she spoke, Abby realized that she had said something wrong. She swiftly covered
her mouth with her tiny hands, and her eyes kept looking around.
Her brothers had told her that she should not mention the word “Daddy” in front of
Elizabeth. Abby was so thrilled that she had forgotten about it. Lizzy is not unhappy about it, is
she?
Antony and Arthur frowned when they heard what Abby said. They were also worried that
Elizabeth would be upset.
Elizabeth looked at how her three children reacted. She knew that they were thoughtful and
considerate.
Then, Elizabeth raised her hand and ruffled her hair. “Don’t worry. It’s okay for you to talk
about Daddy. Everyone has their daddy and mommy. Even though I can’t tell you who your daddy
is now, I can assure all of you that he loves you.”
The three children nodded after listening to her explanation.
They had the same feeling that their father loved them, and they hoped that they could
finally meet him one day.
Three days later, Elizabeth had completely recovered from her sickness.
She sent her children to school in the morning before going home to check her emails on her phone and laptop. She wanted to see if there were any replies from the companies after she had
sent her resume.
Chapter 23 Rascal
Her highest education level was high school. Thus, many vacancies available were in the
service industry, and they offered relatively low salaries.
Cody had just returned from grocery shopping. She called out to Elizabeth as she entered the
house, “Lizzy, someone is looking for you.”
Hearing that, Elizabeth stood up and walked toward the entrance of her house.
“Ms. Elizabeth, is that you?” Ruben stood at the entrance with an excited look on his face.
Elizabeth was surprised, too. She had been living alone in Mistwood for the past six years.
Besides, she had not met anyone from the Wade family all these years.
After all, Elizabeth was living her life as an ordinary person. Since the Wade family was
considered one of the wealthy families in Mistwood, it was common that she had never met any
of them.
She would not have met Tiana if she had not gone to the restaurant to return Matthew’s
jacket. And now, Ruben was here at her doorstep.
Cody smiled and asked, “Lizzy, he’s looking for you, right?”
Did he just call her Ms. Elizabeth? Which wealthy family is she from?
“Yes, Ms. Elliott. He’s looking for me. You may go in now.” Elizabeth/nodded.
Cody wanted to find out more, but she could only go inside the house since Elizabeth had
instructed her.
“Ruben, why are you here?” Elizabeth asked while standing at the door, showing no intention.
to invite Ruben into the house.
Rubén calmed down after a while and said, “Ms. Elizabeth, Old Mr. Wade sent me to pick.
you up. We have guests over today at home, and he wants you to be there with him.”
Hearing Michael’s name made Elizabeth tear a little. She missed her grandfather.
In the Wade family, Michael cared for her the most. However, Michael, who was
conservative, could not accept her inexplicable pregnancy. Thus, she was ashamed to see him.

Ruben then added, “Ms. Elizabeth, Old Mr. Wade just wished to see you. He didn’t mean
anything else. Please come with me to meet him.”
