Seeing her attitude suddenly cooled down, Matthew felt a little strange in his heart.
âDo you really want to know about your background?â Matthew looked at her keeping her head down, like a primary school student being reprimanded by a teacher. But looking at her like this, he actually wanted to comfort her inexplicably. Matthew wanted to bring her into his arms to gently soothe her.
But he didnât do so.
"Well, I lived with my grandmother when I was very young. The other kids have their parents, but I donât. They said I was a wild child, saying I had no parents.â Blanca sneered at herself. It was as if those memories were flaring their teeth and claws attacking her. She was saying so, and her nasal sound was a bit heavy. She sniffed, not wanting Matthew to see her grievances, âMatthew, I donât need anything from you, because I know that you businessmen value benefits and profits. You would never do things that are not profitable, so I am willing to work with you.â
Blanca said very calmly, but Matthew didnât think he could bear it.
She was just a girl in her early twenties, why would there be desolation in her eyes?
âAlright? I will work with you.â Blanca smiled, âI promise I will follow your lead, to shield those bad romances from you, to do whatever you want me to do, even... even in bed.â Saying so, shyness flashed through Blancaâs face but faded away shortly afterward. She was all smiley again, âIs that OK?â
With a pleading tone, she was nothing more than trying to find out her own background. She generously admitted, concealed her purpose without hesitation, and was even willing to offer to make other deals.
Matthew suddenly became a little angry. If it was other men sitting next to Blanca now, would she also do the same? In order to investigate your own background, would you use your own body as a price in exchange?
The more Matthew thought about it, the worse he resisted it.
But somehow Matthew felt lucky. He felt lucky that it was himself who had been by her side.
âYou will follow my lead from now on?â
Blanca thought Matthew would just stay silent, so it was a bit surprising he suddenly spoke. Blanca pondered. And then she nodded quickly. She added afterward, âBut donât push it too far.â
âHaha.â
Matthew laughed, âYou know what I am talking about.â
Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant ï¤Chapter 225 Do You Hate Me?
Accidental love II ï¤Chapter 100 Youâre So Kind Mysterious Mr.Richard ï¤Chapter122 Richard's Stepmother âMatthew...â Blanca spoke with a begging expression. She naturally knew what Matthew meant - He wanted to keep her by his side and at the Empire Group, but for Blanca, the painting was really important.
She was this way really touched a soft spot in Matthewâs heart, âThen answer one question from me.â
âOf course, I can answer one question- In fact, all the questions you have!â
âWhy does it have to be Peter?â Matthew asked.
The light in Blancaâs eyes suddenly went out again, and she knew that Matthew would definitely hold onto this matter and not let go. She knew that it was useless to lie in front of him, too. So Blanca told him the truth, âBecause heâs got potentials and heâs talented. Besides, he is a beloved student of Mr. Butler.â
âSo can I say that you approach him partly because of Mr. Butler?â
âYou could say that.â
Matthew was stunned by Blancaâs honesty. Shortly afterward, Matthew smiled facing Blanca. He made a confession to her as well, âAbout the pendant, I can tell you what I know.â
âWhat is it?â
âI did see that pendant before. It was a gift my mentor gave to his granddaughter when she was born. And youâve met his granddaughter before -
Malinda Roach.
