Anna grabbed his tie and brought him closer to her. She said, “Thank you for surprising me so much. Well, I’m going to give you a gif, too.” The princess then stood on her tiptoes and ki*sed her groom-to-be as the sun shone through the window and landed on them.
It was already evening, and Matthew was still crying like a wind-up toy, causing everyone to feel exhausted.
Henry said anxiously to Peter, “Matthew is still refusing to eat anything, sir. He’s been saying he wants to see his mother for days. After he fell asleep last night, his nanny fed him some milk secretly. But he didn’t eat anything other than that. What should we do?”
Peter frowned and said, “Before, | knew Matthew and Anna were close, and | assumed he simply liked her a lot. But it seems that blood ties appear to be extremely powerful. He only listens to Anna, so we may be out of options.”
Henry said cautiously, “What about calling Miss Gabriel? She’s Matthew’s mother, and she’s definitely going to take care of her son.” Peter said, shaking his head, “She’s going to sue Wayne in a few days, and Anna wants Matthew back. Matthew is my only great-grandson, and Wayne probably won’t get married again. So | can’t hand him over to Anna.”
“But Matthew won’t eat anything!”
Peter took a deep breath and said, “Let me go check on him.”
Peter used to be a very energetic old man. He had, however, been through so much in that time that he appeared exhausted.
Matthew shared a yard with Peter but lived in a different house. He cried almost every second of the last few days, keeping everyone in the whole yard awake. During the day, the servants would yawn while working asa result.
Peter quickly made his way to the door. A porcelain bowl smashed to. the ground at that moment, spilling the porridge inside.
A servant sat on the bed, looking exhausted. When he saw Peter, he stood up and said, “Sir!”
“Let me handle it,’ Peter sighed, waving his hand.
Matthew’s voice was hoarse from crying, but he still didn’t stop. Peter approached Matthew. He no longer looked imposing but very gentle. He took one of Matthew’s hands and asked softly, “Matthew, why are you crying? Could you please tell me?”
Matthew was crying so hard that he couldn’t even breathe. “I wa… want my mommy!” he mumbled.
Peter had known that Matthew would say that. But when he heard it, he still felt very heartbroken. He said, “Matthew, your mother and father will not get married. Your father will find you a new mommy that you like in the future. Is that OK?”
Matthew shouted, “No! | just want my mommy!”
Matthew was crying so hard that Peter had no idea what to do. He hugged the little guy and said, “OK, you can meet your mom. Stop crying, dear. Ill take you to see your mom tomorrow.”
Matthew leaned into Peter’s arms, gasping for air from crying. He looked up, puzzled, and asked, “Really?”
“Yes, I’ll let Henry take you out tomorrow as long as you promise to eat your dinner,” Peter stroked Matthew’s head.
He said, “OK, I’ll eat my dinner. “
He got out of bed after wiping his face with his hands. Henry sat him in his chair right away, and he drank the soup by himself with a spoon. While drinking the soup, Matthew looked depressed and kept wiping his tears.
Peter sighed as he looked at his great-grandson. He felt that if he had known what would happen, he would not have forced Wayne to have children back then. It turned out that the child was the one who suffered the most.
Matthew had been crying in the Wright’s house while Tammy felt disgruntled at Jasper’s house. Since she came out of the amusement park, she had been staying at Jasper’s house. She was happy for the first two days but became bored after wandering around.
She asked Anna, “Mommy, why do we have to stay here all the time? Did you have a fight with daddy?”
At the time, Anna was taking her medication. She froze for a moment before asking, “Don’t you like it here?”
“I like this house, but this is not our home. Mommy, I want to see Matthew and daddy.”
Tammy couldn’t stop asking questions about it. It wasn’t until then that Anna realized she should tell Tammy the truth, so she explained, “I’m not going to marry Wayne, honey. You might not see your brother again in the future. It’s extremely dangerous out there these days, so don’t go out.”
Tammy’s eyes were wide open, and she didn’t say anything for a long time. “Why?” she asked Anna knew Tammy was a smart kid, but she probably wouldn’t understand such complicated things. She only said, “The situation is extremely complicated. Wayne and I got into an argument. We can’t get along, and there’s no way to make things right. So, we won’t get married. I’ll try to get you to see your brother again later.”
Tammy seemed to understand what she said. She then said, “You like Wayne, don’t you? He likes you a lot too, and he told me so.”
“That was before we argued.”
“No, he told me that while we were at the amusement park. He said that he loved you and that he intended to marry you in the future. He also said that would have younger brothers and sisters in addition to a brother.”
Anna froze, not knowing what to say. She was staying at Wayne’s house at the time. Wayne left early every morning and returned late every night. She assumed he didn’t want to see her on purpose, but she didn’t expect him to always be there for Tammy.
However, she didn’t know if this was true or why Wayne didn’t say it to her himself. Also, Anna couldn’t think straight and felt irritable and depressed when thinking about the trial in 10 days.
Tammy took her arm and shook it, asking, “Mommy, how long are we going to be here? | want to go home! Can we go home?”
Anna also felt very sad when she saw her daughter’s sad face. But remembering what Wayne had done, she was afraid that something bad would happen to Tammy again. She didn’t dare to gamble anymore.
Then she comforted Tammy by touching her head and saying, “Can you please wait a little longer, baby? After the trial, I’ll take you back to America. You’ll be able to go wherever you want by then.”
Hearing that, Tammy thought to herself, Mommy, you’re taking me back to America? If so, I will never see my brother and father again! No, | don’t want it!
