Contract Marriage With Mysterious President

Chapter 278 Changes of Home

Addy moved out. Her house was not near Jacob's but close to the Carter's mansion, which was

convenient for her to go back. Richard thought it would be too hard to live alone. Close to the Carter's

mansion, she could come back more easily when there were parties.

The Carter's mansion had totally changed from the previous harmony and bustle to the loneliness now.

Watching the forlorn living room, Richard lapsed into the silence of reminiscence. In his childhood, he

and other kids surrounded Grandpa John, listening to him telling various stories.

At that time, they were very happy. The living room was a paradise for them. But now, it was full of

sorrow.

"Well, Richard, gone are the days when we are young and innocent. We need to step forward instead

of dwelling in the past," said Cathy, tapping him on the shoulder. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Mom, you have had a hard time these days" said Richard. Finally, Cathy could be at ease at home

after Addy left.

"Richard, you also have had a tough time. All the matters of the family rely on you. You and Amy..."

Cathy wanted to talk about something about Amy with him.

"Mom, this is my affair. You don't have to worry about it. I'll go to the company. You should go to have a

rest." Richard didn't want to talk about anything about Amy with other, which would only make him sad.

"Alright, I will not talk about her. I will get Allen here in a few days. He is my grandson and you are his

father. You should usually communicate with him." Cathy sighed deeply and went back to her room.

There were fewer people in the house.

Without saying anything, Richard just stared after her. Mother had sacrificed a lot for the family these

yeas. Too much water had passed under the bridge since he grew up. Father died. Mother got older

and older without his care.

The Carter's mansion returned to peace again. There were only Richard, Hilary and Cathy in the house

now. Janice and her children didn't come over to have meals together. They had their own space. Their

life stayed the same.

...

"Miss Newell, long time no see. Come on! Sit here," said Matt. Looking at Amy in a black suit, he was

deeply impressed by her smart look. It was very difficult to invite Amy for a meal. He made it by doing

her a favor. And all he did for Amy was completely of his own accord.

"Hello, Mr. Wilson. Don't be so inhibited," said Amy. It might sound weird that the helper invited the

person who needed help to have meals. But for Matt, to help Amy was a great pleasure.

Amy sat down. She had been invited by Matt for several times but declined all. This time, he did her

such a great favor. It would be impolite to decline his invitations again.

"Miss Newell, all the dishes are your favorite. If you want to eat anything else, just order," said Matt.

Amy was sick of his smile but since he was helpful, she had to put up with it.

"Thank you! It is so generous of you to prepare these delicious food. I should have done that but I have

been very busy these days," said Amy politely.

"My pleasure, Miss Newell. It is a great honor to help you. But why don't you tell Richard that you help

HD Group? In this way, he would be grateful for you," said Matt. Unlike Amy, he wished his sacrifice or

commitment would be known.

"Thanks for your help, everything goes well. So, here's to you, Matt." Looking at his disgusting

expression, she tried harder to suppress her pent-up anger. That year, he betrayed her and had an

affair with Gina. How could he erase all of the bad conducts from his mind?

"I'm quite flattered. It is my pleasure to help you. Here's to you, Miss Newell," said Matt. There were a

lot of food in the big table but Amy had no appetite. She couldn't go now since she needed his help.

After taking a sip of juice, Matt began selecting dishes for Amy chivalrously. He still remembered what

she liked to eat. He spared no efforts to court Amy that year. Amy was too young and innocent at that

time. Thus, she fell into his trap. The purpose of Matt was to get some benefits from her father's group.

Amy took a couple of bites. Like before, Matt kept talking to avoid awkward silence.

Amy didn't talk with him except answering some of his dull questions. Even though she treated him like

this, Matt was very happy because he regarded eating with the CEO of the Newell Group as a great

honor. Even Landon didn't have the honor.

"Miss Newell, thank you! I'll do my best to cooperate with you well. You'll see," said Matt. His mother

was Landon's concubine so Landon was not very good to him. All the achievements he made were

stolen by Andrew, the CEO of the Wilson Group at that time, but Landon always turned a blind eye to it.

However, five years ago, Andrew offended Richard. Then, his business prospect turned bleak. On the

contrary, Matt was able to succeed and did very well in the Wilson Group due to his shrewdness.

"Well, I believe in your ability. You just need to keep secret the things I entrust to you and I'll continue to

cooperate with you," said Amy. Then she ate some vegetables. Eating with the people she didn't fancy

was a torture.

Matt nodded his head. It was Wilson Group's honor to cooperate with the Newell Group, a giant global

enterprise. Only he could do it although he had experienced a lot of failure. Now his position in the

Wilson Group became more and more stable.

"Miss Newell, the rumor that the troubles in the HD Group are caused by you is bad for you. What an

injustice you have suffered from Why not justify it?" Matt was now concerned about her.

"I have nothing to say because I haven't done anything wrong. There is nothing I need to be afraid of.

They don't deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want," said Amy, putting down the

chopsticks. She disdained to explain. It was no use saying anything to people who didn't trust her.

Seeing her putting down the chopsticks, he knew she was going to leave. So he moved close to her

and whispered in her ear, "Miss Newell, I have something to remind you."
