Chapter 214
With all the information on Spades in front of him, Matthew was feeling lost on where to start until he heard the doorbell ring.
Frowning, he approached the door. When he checked the security camera, he felt annoyed. Why was she here? He was exhausted after spending the whole day acting, so he did not want to see anyone right now.
He clicked on the intercom and said to the woman at the door, "Go back. You're not welcome here."
Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, but Gabriella replied in a gentle tone, "I came here because I'm worried about you, Matt. Can you be a good boy and open the door for your mother?"
Matthew furrowed his brows but eventually opened the door for his mother. He wanted to see what tricks that woman had up her sleeve.
Gabriella was dressed elegantly in red as she gracefully entered the living room. Matthew frowned upon seeing her outfit. He had just lost his wife, yet her mother still had the audacity to dress like that.
What was she trying to imply? Matthew's tone grew harsher as he asked bluntly, "Why are you here dressed like that?"
At the same time, he made sure to keep his emotions in check. Judging by Matthew's demeanor, Gabriella's doubts were confirmed. It seemed like Lucy had indeed passed away.
Otherwise, Matthew would not be this sad.
She hypocritically patted Matthew's shoulder and said, “Matt, I know you're sad, but she has already left. You can't stay depressed like this.”
Matthew felt nothing but disdain for Gabriella. How could she sound so harsh? What did she mean by Lucy had already left?
His wife was perfectly fine. She was under heavy security in the hospital, but he could not say anything, so he remained silent. However, his silence only made Gabriella believe that she had touched a sore spot.
She sighed. It was his first love, after all. She said to her son, "Matt, don't worry. It's just a woman. You can have as many as you want.
"I've picked out a few candidates for you. After Ms. Quinn's funeral, you can go meet them."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Matthew was exceptionally angry
now. How could Gabriella say that? Although he knew that his wife was fine, to outsiders, she had not even been dead for a day. Yet, his mother already wanted him to go on blind dates?!
He coldly brushed off Gabriella's hand on his shoulder. "I don't need your concern."
This time, he did not even bother
calling her 'Mom'. "In my entire life, Lucy will be my only wife. You can shove all the others back to where you found them. If you want, you can marry them yourself. I won't stop you."
"How dare you?"
Gabriella frowned at Matthew in disappointment.
"How could you say that? I'm just worried that you'll be lonely! Starting a new relationship is the best way to move on from an old one. Besides what do you mean Lucy is your only wife? You're not even 30 yet, and you're still in your prime. You don't even have any children. Are you trying to end our family line?"
Her tone grew increasingly stern as she spoke.
