Chapter 221

Chapter 221 I’m Very Popular! Catherine was stunned. In her seventeen years of life, it was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. She blinked her big eyes and changed her mind quickly, “Handsome!” Matthew was the youngest of the Holland family. He had no younger brother or sister.

When he was suddenly called “handsome” by a young girl, he felt great. It looked like he was still quite young. “Hello,” he replied slowly. Thinking that the girl had called Hailey “auntie” just now, he asked Hailey playfully, “Which of your brothers’ children is she?” Others might not know it, but Matthew knew that Hailey had five brothers because of Owen. Hearing that this handsome man even knew the secret that her aunt had many brothers, Catherine immediately recognized him as Hailey’s boyfriend, and asked curiously, “Aunt, is he your old love or new love?” Hailey was speechless. As an aunt, she decided to teach her niece a lesson. Hailey lowered Catherine’s body directly, raised her hand, and spanked her hard, “If you talk nonsense again, I’ll beat you harder.” “I’m sorry. I was wrong, Auntie!”

Catherine, who was used to being bullied by her father since she was a child, was smart enough not to fight the tape. She cried, “Don’t discipline me in front of others. It’s so embarrassing.” Hailey gave her a warning look before releasing her. Catherine stood up and pouted aggrievedly. Glancing to the side, she found Matthew smiling. Why was he gloating? But he was so handsome when he smiled!

Catherine couldn’t help reaching out and poking the inconspicuous dimple in Matthew’s cheek, and asked curiously, “Why is there a hole on your face?” Matthew felt speechless. He raised his eyebrows and brushed her hand off, “Don’t poke me. It’s called a dimple. Most people don’t have dimples even if they want to.” Hailey rolled her eyes. Catherine was very enthusiastic, “Wow, that’s amazing.” Hailey wondered if this girl was stupid. Matthew was very happy to be complimented, and raised his eyebrows, “Thanks.” Hailey didn’t bother to pay attention to them and sat down to have breakfast. Soon Ava came down. When she saw Matthew, she politely greeted him, “Morning, Matthew.” Matthew nodded, “Morning.” A group of ponies had arrived at the northern Suburbs racecourse. Matthew asked Hailey to take a look. Otherwise, he wouldn’t swagger into the Newman family so early today.

Catherine was holding a sandwich in her hand. She stared at Matthew, “Matthew? Is it your name?”

Matthew stared at Catherine’s bulging cheeks while she was eating, pinched her little face said softly, “My name is Matthew Holland. Can you spell my name?” Catherine looked stunned and looked at Ava, “Ava, does he think I can’t spell?” Ava couldn’t help laughing. She dipped her fingers in some water, and wrote the word “Matthew” on the dining table, “Do you know this word?” “Yes.” Catherine nodded, “Isn’t it money?” Matthew almost spat out the milk. He widened his eyes in disbelief. Was this kid stupid or something? Hailey couldn’t help but smile. Like her father, this girl was playful. Ava was very patient and said softly, “They start with the same letter, but they’re different words.” “OK.” Catherine nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Matthew again, “Your father must especially want you to be rich, right?

Why didn’t he just call you ‘money?” Matthew wiped the milk stain from his mouth and cleared his throat, “Young girl, don’t make fun of my name, ok?” “OK.” Catherine finished teasing him and didn’t forget to praise him, “Handsome, you are really funny, and your father is also very good.” “Of course.”

Matthew looked proud and complacent.

Hailey shook her head speechlessly. Matthew was very happy to be touted, and he became interested, “Young girl, what’s your name?”

Catherine answered crisply, “My name is Catherine Sears. My dad got it for me.” Matthew nodded, “It’s a beautiful name.” Catherine said, “Thanks.”

Hailey was speechless. What a formal conversation! Matthew smiled. Catherine was stunned. She felt that his smile was bright and dazzling. Looking at Catherine, who was having breakfast nicely, Matthew asked Hailey with a smile, “Where did you get such a girl? I haven’t heard of any of your brothers getting married and having such a big child.” Hailey said lightly, “My godbrother.” “You have a god brother?” Matthew cried and his vigilance raised immediately, “Childhood sweetheart? What does he do? Oh, he is married and has a child.” His hostility was instantly gone. His sudden change of attitude shocked Catherine. She shook her head and said, “My dad is not married. It was an accident in his life.

He had me at the age of twenty-two, and now he is probably no older than you.” Matthew said, “…Your father had you in his early twenties? Did he get married as soon as he reached legal age?” “Yes, he was precocious, and hurriedly married my mother. Later, my mother got sick and died. So he raised me alone.” Catherine spoke of these things calmly and straightforwardly. “It turns out you’re a child without a mother.” Matthew was rarely sympathetic, “You are pitiful without a mother at such a young age.”

Catherine shook her head and stared at him with her big clear eyes, “I’m not pitiful. I don’t have a mother, but I have an aunt, and so many uncles love me. I’m very popular.” She looked proud and innocent. Matthew didn’t know how to react. He couldn’t help smiling again.
