Chapter 49
However, she tried her best to maintain her smile. “Walking to school doesn’t look good. If we drive Lorraine to school, it’ll make a better impression.”
Matthew took out his car keys and pressed a button. Not far away, a Rolls–Royce chirped, and its lights flashed three times.
Matthew walked toward the Rolls–Royce with Lorraine in his arms. “We have a car.”
Tessa looked at the Rolls–Royce, her eyes filled with astonishment.
A new Rolls–Royce!
The car alone was worth nearly half Evergreen Group’s value. It was much better than her car!
Tessa’s expression turned sour.
When she thought about it more, she realized that Rachel must have bought the car since Matthew didn’t have the
money.
This realization shocked Tessa even more. Rachel and Matthew had only been together for a few days, and she had already bought him such a nice car.
Seeing that Matthew was about to get into the car, Tessa quickly ran a few steps to catch up. “Matthew, I’ve already admitted my mistakes. What more do you want?”
Matthew opened the rear door and gently placed Lorraine in. He carefully fastened her seatbelt and closed the door.
When he was sure that Lorraine couldn’t hear anything, he said, “You’re asking me what I want from you?” His voice was laced with disappointment and anger.
How could Tessa even ask such a question?
Tessa was somewhat exasperated. “Before we divorced, no matter what I did wrong, you always forgave me as long as I apologized. Why are you being so petty this time? What do you want from me?”
Matthew replied coldly, “As you said, that was before we got divorced. Back then, I tolerated you because I was your husband! Now that we’re divorced, we have nothing to do with each other anymore! Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Why should I forgive you? You want to know what I want? I want you to stay far away!”
With that, he got into the car, started it up, and slowly drove away.
Tessa’s face turned red after being scolded. She felt increasingly unsettled as she watched Matthew drive away in the
luxury car.
n gone to
Thinking back, Matthew used to be so obedient to her. He had been willing to do anything for her and had even prison for her.
Why had things changed? Wasn’t he supposed to love her?
It must have all been a lie!
The more Tessa thought about it, the more resentful she became.
Suddenly, she thought of Lorraine. Matthew adored Lorraine; she was his weakness. Tessa felt like she had found a way to deal with Matthew!
A Rolls–Royce pulled over at the kindergarten’s entrance.
Many parents who had come to drop their kids off turned to look at it.
The car door opened, and Matthew got out. He opened the rear door and helped Lorraine out. He held her hand as they
walked to the entrance.
A little boy got out of a car and pointed at his car. “Lori, look! This is my family’s car.”
Lorraine smiled and said, “Wow, it’s so pretty.”
The little boy proudly boasted, “My dad says this car is very expensive. In our class, no one else can afford one.”
The boy’s father stood nearby and smiled proudly at his son’s boasting.
Lorraine shook her head. “So what if we can’t afford it? It’s not a big deal. My dad is amazing. He can ride a bicycle, drive a tricycle, and even drive a car. Today, my dad drove me here. It’s that black, shiny car over there.”
The boy’s father was dumbfounded when he saw the Rolls–Royce that Lorraine pointed at.
Matthew couldn’t help but laugh and feel touched when he heard Lorraine’s innocent words. She was proud of his ability to drive, not just the car itself.
He bent down, picked Lorraine up, and gave her a kiss.
Lorraine wiped her face with her hand. “Dad, so many kids are watching. I’m so embarrassed!”
Matthew laughed heartily. He gave her two more kisses before he sent her into kindergarten.
Then, he drove to Wealthwave Group.
Just as he arrived at Wealthwave Group’s building, Rachel called him. She sounded a little anxious. “I need to go to the hospital. Where are you?”
Matthew noticed that Rachel’s voice was hoarse, probably from the night–long meeting she’d had. “I’m at the company’s entrance.”
He hung up, got out of the car, opened the door, and waited for Rachel to come downstairs.
In the distance, a car stopped, and a man got out. He was in his 20s and was dressed in a suit. He had one hand in his pocket as he walked to the main entrance.
Jeffrey?
Matthew hadn’t expected him to come to Lambda City so quickly. Moreover, the first thing he’d done as soon as he’d arrived was look for Rachel.
