As Xander spoke, the whole living room suddenly quieted down. The air was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly if it fell to the ground Kezia. This was a name that no one could casually bring up in front of Matthew. This was the most painful thing in Matthewâs life that he never wanted to mention. All the dark and dull moments of his past were accompanied by Kezia from afar. After finding Keziaâs contact information from the orphanage at the age of ten, he wrote her a letter every week and she would reply him every week. He told her all his worries. She read and replied seriously, and comforted him. She brought him out of the darkest days of his life. But he could not save her fragile life⦠At the thought of the name, Matthewâs face turned deathly pale. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Xander with gritted teeth. âThereâs no conflict between liking Kezia and not abandoning Resean.â âHave you asked my sister?â âShe never thought of living such a life!â Xanderâs emotions gradually collapsed out of control. âShe has been by your side for four years!â âFour years! Sheâs still not better than a dead person who passed away five years ago!â âMatthew, is your heart made of steel?â He deliberately mentioned Kezia in front of Matthew because he wanted to hear Matthew say he like Roseane in person. But the result was completely opposite! As the younger brother who loved his elder sister the most, how could he stand it? âXander.â Oliver stood up and took his sonâs arm. âForget it.â
âRoseane is already married to Matthew. Even if we are going to get a divorceâ¦weâll have to talk about it when Roseane wakes up.â âWe can no longer help her make decisions.â Oliver held up his coughing wife and said, âWe donât want to eat this meal with the Valentine family.â âItâs too expensive, We ordinary people canât afford it.â After that, he turned to look at Beau. âMr. Valentine, thank you for taking care of Roseane.â âItâs just that a melon forced off itâs vine is not sweet. Using the shares you paid to make Roseane marry Matthew⦠will be a torture to everyone.â He waved his hand and shook his head.
âForget it.â âIf the Valentine family wants to divorce Roseane, we wonât ask for anything more.â âIf you donât want a divorce, please take good care of her. If you donât want this marriage, return her to us.â
After that, Oliver and Xander held Mariamâs hands and left.
Eliza turned her head and looked at the three leaving, her heart inexplicably empty. Actually⦠this was not what they thought! Just as she was considering whether she should go over and explain for Matthew, Mariam, who was being supported by two men, staggered and almost fell down. They walked too fast, and Mariam did not catch up. This scene made Eliza feel a slight pain in her heart. After giving Beau a look, she turned around and chased after them. She pushed Xander away and carefully supported her.
âMariam is not in good health. Even if you are angry, donât leave in such a hurry.â Her words made Xander and his father look at each other. Both of them felt ashamed and didnât stop Eliza from holding Mariam. Oliver even opened the door for Eliza in a gentlemanly manner. Eliza pursed her lips, supported Mariam, and sent the three of them out. âTsk tsk tsk, youâre really attentive.â Lucy looked at Elizaâs back and rolled her eyes coldly. âIf I didnât know, I would think that they are her parents!â âMom, stop it.â
Matthew frowned and turned to leave in frustration. Jory sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, his hands tightly clutching onto his crutch. âWhere are you going? Youâre not eating anymore?â âI donât want to eat anymore!â Matthew furrowed his eyebrows. âInstead of wasting time here, I might as well take care of Roseane!â With a âbangâ, the door of the villa was closed. âWorthless.â Lucy rolled her eyes and turned to look at Beau. âBeau, take a look. Itâs because you hesitated to sign the transfer agreement that our in-
laws left in anger!â âHurry up and read it. Sign it quickly.â âWith these shares, we will have the courage to talk to our in-laws in the future.â Beau lowered his head and read through all the contracts. There was indeed no omission. Although Gian and Lucy wanted his shares, they still did not have the courage to mess with the contract. He picked up the pen and quickly added a sentence at the end of the contract, and then signed his signature at the end. âDone.â The instant he spoke, Lucy dashed forward and took the agreement over. She frowned as she looked at Beauâs last statement. âBeau, what do you mean by this?â He actually requested⦠The transfer agreement could only take effect after she apologized to Roseaneâs parents and was forgiven by them!
That was to say, whether Matthew could get the shares or not depended on the attitude of the villagers!
Lucyâs face turned red. âIf youâre not willing to, then do as what the Comtois family said, divorce and return Roseane back.â Lucy gritted her teeth. How could she fall short of her plans? âI will apologize to the Comtois family immediately!â She lifted her leg and had only taken two steps when Gian pulled her back. âLetâs talk about it tomorrow!â âThey are still angry and not in the mood.â âIf you apologize now, arenât you looking for trouble?â âBut â¦â Lucyâs face was full of grievances. This was ten percent shares!
On the other side, Elias couldnât bear to watch any longer. He frowned. âLucy, their daughter has already married Matthew. Are you still afraid that they will run away?â Lucy pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then agreed. âThatâs enough.â Elias also stood up and stretched his body. âLetâs have dinner, Iâm starving to death. This took so long.â âI still have to talk to Lucija through video call later.â Lucy rolled her eyes when he mentioned Lucija. âThat brat. Itâs all right if we donât normally see her around. But she did not even come back to attend Matthewâs wedding!â âWhat kind of exhibition abroad that is interesting until sheâs unwilling to come home?â Elias also looked at Beau indifferently. âItâs not that the exhibition abroad is interesting.â âMaybe itâs just⦠âShe simply doesnât want to come back.â Beau stood up, gracefully walked to the dining table and sat down. He faced his tall and straight figure back against Elias. âIs she not willing to come back or is she afraid to come back?â Elias also looked at Beauâs back and narrowed his eyes. âWhy wouldnât she dare to come back?â
