There was a bang outside the lounge. Matthew stood there and smashed the drawing board on the ground. He looked at Wayne in astonishment and stamped angrily with a red face.
“Matthew?” Wayne didn‘t know what happened and quickly walked to him, “What happened? Did you hurt your feet?”
Matthew anxiously grabbed Wayne‘s sleeves and shook his head desperately.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Wayne wanted to touch his forehead, but Matt pushed his hand away and fell to the ground because he lost his balance.
“Matthew..”
Matthew wasn’t able to express his anger. When he heard that Wayne was going to get married to Ada, he was furious and felt that Wayne deceived him. No matter what Wayne did to console him, he was still in a rage.
He went back to the lounge like a baby lion that fluffed up and smashed all the things that he could reach The lounge was soon in a mess. This kind of thing had happened many times before, so Wayne had been used to it. But he stood at the door and still get worried.
He understood that Matthew gave vent to his anger because he couldn’t express it through words. He needed an outlet once in a while, but he would hurt others and himself this way.
The lounge was silent for a long time. “Matt, can I get in?” Wayne knocked on the door. Matthew locked himself in the room and wouldn’t open it no matter how Wayne called him. “Matthew…” “Wayne, let me have a look.” Ada stood by his side and looked concerned, “Matthew has been in good terms with me. Let me have a try.” Wayne frowned and looked at the shut door. Then he nodded. Ada pushed open the door leisurely. “Matthew, it’s Aunt Ada. I’ll come inside.”
Matthew was curling up in a corner of the room. When he heard Ada’s footsteps, he was suddenly consumed by fear. He curled up into a very self—protective posture.
Ada closed the door with a click. She indifferently stepped on the dolls and toys on the ground and approached Matthew, her shadow covering Matthew’s little body
Matthew was trying to control his body from shivering. “Little Matthew.”
“Don‘t be afraid. It‘s Aunt Ada.”
With the faint light coming from the floor lamp that was toppled down, the room was dim. Ada looked at Matthew, a soft smile broke at her crimson lips.
“Didn‘t I tell you to behave yourself?”
Matthew pushed himself against the wall. He was terrified and helpless. A lot of memories bout this bad woman flashed back…
But daddy wanted this bad woman to become his mommy. “Matthew, good boy, you will remember my words clearly, won‘t you?”
