Chapter 13
Harrison shivered and quickly left, not daring to say anything else
He had been working for Matthew for many years but had never seen him so emotional before
Matthew watched as the office door closed. He threw his phone on the desk, pulled over a chair, and sat down. He took the mouse, turned on the computer, glanced at it, and then looked away.
He was in no mood to work at all.
He pushed the mouse away, turned off the computer, went downstairs, and drove home.
He returned to his home where he had been living with Nadia after marriage.
Matthew bought it. Before he got married, he had been living there alone. After getting married, it became their home.
The house was in the downtown area, with an excellent view of the river and unique geographical advantages. And it was also close to his compan
He owned a lot of properties, but he loved this house the mast.
He liked to live alone. In the past, before he got married, he had never felt uncomfortable living alone, and he had even enjoyed such a life without anyone disturbing him. Later, when he got married to Nadia and she moved in at his advice, the house gradually became more lively
Like him, Nadia did not like to be disturbed by outsiders, so only cleaners would come regularly, and there were no maids living at home.
Nadia liked to design. In the past, when she lived here, she carefully decorated the house. But before she left, she put the house back to what it used
to be
Matthew didn’t know whether to praise Nadia for her ability to restore the house easily or praise her for her foresight. She knew that they wouldn’t be together for a long time, so when she changed the house, she made it so that it would be convenient to be restored later on
Perlups, she had never thought of staying with him for a long time.
His brown eyes turned cold because of this guess.
Matthew opened the cabinet door and looked at the famous wine inside. He picked up a bottle of wine casually, grabbed a bottle opener, and pried the cap off. The wine splashed on the ground, but he ignored it, then raised the bottle and took a big swig. Then he put down the bottle heavily on
the table.
He turned his head away expressionlessly.
At this moment, the doorbell rang
He tilted his head to look at the door. After a moment of silence, he got up and opened it
“What took you so long to open the door? I thought you were not home”
As soon as the door was opened, Yamilet muttered, accompanied by a little girl’s babbling.
Matthew glanced at her and asked, “Why are you here?”
Although he said that, he reached out to the two–year–old girl in Yamilet’s arms.
Yamilet was Matthew’s sister. She was two years younger than him, and they were not from the same mother.
Yamilet wa
was Selena’s daughter, but Matthew wasn’t Selena’s son.
Perhaps because of this, although they inherited the good looks of their father and mothers, Yamilet was not as smart as Matthew.
Yarmiler was a typical stupid beauty. She had not been smart since she was a child. She was simple and easy to fool, and she was a hopeless romantic
She got married a few years ago and gave birth to Perla
The line girl had just turned two years old and looked like Yamilet. She had perfectly inherited Yamilet’s beauty genes and was very cute. The only regret was that she had probably inherited Yamilet’s IQ. Perla also seemed to be stupid and slow.

The lule girl liked Matthew. When she saw him reaching for her, she happily opened her arms and leaned over to him. “Uncle…. Hug…”
Perla was too young to speak fluently now, and she could only say single words
Yamilet pinched Perla’s cheek. “You abandon your mom right when you see your uncle.”
Although sh
she said so, she was happy to unload the burden in her arms.
Yamilet smelled the alcohol on him when she leaned over. She looked at Matthew suspiciously and asked, “You been drinking?”
Matthew glanced at her, ignored her, and picked up the little girl.
Yamilet glanced at the wine bottle on the table behind him and the bottle cap on the ground. She slowly shifted her suspicious gaze back to Matthew’s face and said with a shocked and cautious expression, “Did you… quarrel with Nadia?“
Matthew glanced at her coldly and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Yamilet immediately lowered her voice. “I missed you
She grew up with Matthew, Although they were not very close, she didn’t feel estranged from him because of her dullness. However, due to his cold aura, she couldn’t help but feel a little afraid in front of him, who was only two years older than her.
Matthew ignored her sweet words and turned his gaze to the little girl in his arms. His cool brown eyes turned gentle when he saw her cute little face,
He pinched the tip of her nose. He didn’t say anything, but his tender eyes were fixed on her face. Seeing this, Yamilet poked his arm. “Matthew, since you like children so much, hurry up and have a baby with Nadia.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Matthew’s face turn icy.
Yamilet was puzzled and secretly looked around the house, only to find that not only was Nadia not here, but all traces of her were completely
gone.
“Mathew?” She carefully tugged at the corner of his clothes. “What happened between you and Nadia?”
Matthew glanced at her coldly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yamilet quickly shook her head. She had been passing by his house and saw that the lights were on, so she came to see him.
Matthew ignored her and sat down on the sofa with Perla in his arms.
The soft light in the living room shone on the side of his face, making his cool brown eyes look soft.
Yamilet and Matthew had been siblings for more than 20 years. She had never felt that he liked children before. He had been alone since he was a child and had never liked to play with children like them, except for Nathalia, who was missing.
Thinking of Nathalia, Yamilet glanced at
Matthew.
Nathalia was one year younger than Yamilet. Nathalia was five years old when she disappeared. At that time, Yamilet was too young to remember Nathalia. She could only recall that Nathalia was different from the noisy kids like them. At that time, Nathalia was very well–behaved and quiet. She always quietly sat by the side to watch them play or accompanied Matthew.
Matthew was precocious. In addition, Selena did not like Matthew when he was a child. Matthew had known that his mother was dead since he was little, so he had always been calmer than his peers and even solitary.
Adults
were busy with work, so they didn’t have time or patience to educate a child who was not so important to them. Matthew’s peers didn’t know much about the ways of the world, so they ignored him after he refused to play with them. Only Nathalia followed Matthew patiently, talked to him, and shared the little things she had received, delicious food, and toys with him As time went by, Matthew acquiesced to Nathalia accompanying him and took the initiative to teach her how to read and write.
At that time, Matthew was already in second grade, and he taught Nathalia everything he knew.
The elders of the two families were happy to see the two children getting two kids, but no one expected that Nathalia would go missing.
close to each other. They joked that they would arrange a marriage for the
It was almost impossible for a five–year–old child to survive deep in the mountains.
Matthew seemed to have gone crazy when he found out that Nathalia had gone missing. He kicked the adults who controlled him and roared that he wanted to find her.

But he was
was only eight years old at that time. How could he find her!
In the end, he couldn’t
resist
the adults, but since then, he had become more silent and mature. He studied and trained harder every day.
In his teen years, other boys were proud of having a girlfriend, but Matthew was an exception. His appearance, temperament, and ability were far better than those of his peers, and countless girls pursued him. However, he was not interested in anyone. Studying became almost everything in
his life.
Matthew’s courses included physical training, brain training, and professional training, which were all specially arranged by his grandfather to be
his successor.
He endured all the hardships that others couldn’t endure. He didn’t have the slightest childishness and liveliness that usually belonged to teenagers It was only in his third year of high school that Yamilet once again saw the vitality of a teenager in him.
Yamilet didn’t know who Matthew had met that year, but he was as lively as he had been in the past Yamlet felt that he must have been changed by Nadia
two years.
She was not very familiar with Nadia. At the first sight of Nadia, Yamilet felt like she had seen Nathalia.
