Chapter 109 A New Method

I was angry and resentful the moment I saw Matthew. How could he stoop to doing this?

He smiled and said, “Honey, I know you miss your parents, so I fetched them to our new

apartment.”

shamelessly brought my parents in as he spoke. My parents looked around the house,

saying, “The place looks great! Your hard work has finally paid off.”

As they entered, Ava exclaimed, “Grandma! Grandpa!”

She wanted to run to them but saw Matthew. After some hesitation, she threw herself into

my arms. Meanwhile, Matthew attended to my parents‘ needs and acted like a good son–

in–law.

He didn’t even tell my parents what happened between us.

“Honey, I didn’t get to eat anything on the plane. Why don’t you keep me company while I

whip up something?” Matthew rolled his sleeves and headed toward the kitchen.

I gritted my teeth but didn’t dare to scold him. After all, my dad’s condition had just

stabilized, and I couldn’t afford to agitate him. I reluctantly sat down as my mom looked

me up and down, asking, “Chlo,

how’d you lose so much weight?”

Before I could reply, Matthew answered from the kitchen, “Supervising the house

is.”

“So, what will you do about it?” Ivanna asked, “Are you just going to let him do whatever

I looked at her helplessly, saying, “Can you call Adrian and ask for his opinion? My dad just

natural thing to do. I was tense the whole time, worried my dad would see through our

pretense.

That night Ivanna texted me that Adrian had applied for a postponement of the court

hearing. I switched off my phone helplessly. No wonder Adrian warned me not to drag my

feet over the divorce.

Matthew’s unexpected move disrupted all my plans. I thought I could finalize the divorce

and head to Solaris to discuss the project with Fred. However, that was no longer an

option. I feared something would

happen if I went away.
