Chapter 296

Matthew pursed his lips, obviously upset at what I just said.

I raised my eyebrow and softened my tone. "Matthew, everyone has the right to make their own

choices.

Was Marcus happy when he was with your mother? Were you happy? Don't you think that things

aren’t so bad now?"

Everyone has the right to choose a better person and a better life. This was not wrong. Matthew

was in no position to change anything. If he did not learn to accept it, then he would never be

happy. The same went for his mother.

"Are you educating me?" Matthew's eyes were ice-cold.

"Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Zimmer. I have no intention o f educating you." I spread my arms and

sighed helplessly. "I wouldn't be saying these things if you hadn't vented out on me for no reason.

This is your family’s matter. Outsiders like me have no right to say anything about it."

Having said that, I planned to turn around and leave. I f this continued, both of us would only get

upset at each other.

However, Matthew had no plans of letting me leave

and rushed over to stand in my way.

"How can I help you, Mr. Zimmer?" I asked in a cold and distant voice.

"When you grow tired of a person, can you bring yourself to abandon him without a single

hesitation, then throw yourself into the arms of another man? If that’s the case, when you're tired of

Theo one day, I can reluctantly accept you. I hope you won’t refuse me when that day comes."

What logic was this?

I held my forehead, feeling my head hurting slightly." Mr, Zimmer, I'll just take it as you've had too

much to drink. Can I ask you to please step aside and stop harassing me?"

Matthew was very problematic, especially at this moment. It would be wise for me to stay away from

him.

He stepped aside and continued to follow me from behind, which irritated me greatly.

There was a swimming pool in the backyard of the villa. We would have to go past the pool to get to

the front yard from the garden. Just then, a broad hand pressed on my shoulder.

I frowned. In extreme irritation, I turned around and pushed the man behind me hard. "What exactly

do you want, Matthew-”

Splash!

Before I could finish, I widened my eyes in horror.

Matthew had been pushed into the swimming pool by me. He flapped about in the water several

times, almost drowning.

He did not know how to swim!

I was flustered by the realization and leaned at the side of the pool while screaming at the top of my

lungs, "Somebody! Help!"

I cried out in a panic. Just as I was thinking of jumping in to save him, Matthew floated to the

surface and wiped his face with his hand while saying indifferently, "I would have died by the time

you managed to call someone."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that he was fine. My energy sapped out of me and I slumped

to the ground.

Matthew looked away from me and swam to the side o f the pool before climbing up.

"You know how to swim?” I asked, unsure.

Matthew raised his eyebrow. "Did I say I didn't know how to swim?”

He was doing that on purpose to frighten me, then?

This man was extremely vicious!

I clambered to my feet and grew even angrier when I looked at his face. "I'm pregnant! Don't you

feel sorry for frightening a pregnant lady?"

Seeing how furious I was, Matthew smiled and was put in a good mood. "Why would I frighten you?

Since we're already at the pool, don't you think it’d be a waste if I didn't go for a swim?"

"W-Waste..." I gritted my teeth and pushed him into the pool again. "Swim, then! Stay longer in the

pool."

Matthew clearly did not expect me to push him again. He floated up to the surface and looked

dazedly at me.
