After saying that, Essie's eyes turned red.
Then, she stood up.
She slowly ran her fingers along the man's face.
The man's face was bluish-gray, like a zombie right out of the grave.
Essie murmured, "I know you miss your sister, but I can't take you to her. If they catch you, they will destroy you. Lothar, they will most definitely destroy you," Selina had slept for a very long tduring the day, so she couldn't sleep at night.
Fortunately, Matthew was there to keep her company.
Unfortunately, she couldn't eat a lot of things because she was in confinement.
Matthew heated up smilk for her.
After drinking a lot of warm milk, she felt full.
Now that she had time, she started to think about what had happened that night.
She seemed to be asking both Matthew and herself, "Matthew, do you think I was hallucinating or did I really see Essie and Lothar that night?" She then shook her head, "No, even if Essie wasn't a hallucination, Lothar couldn't have been real," Matthew didn't reply.
He only stared at her with his deep eyes.
He was certain that neither Selina nor Yesseca were having any illusions.
If Essie was real, then what about Lothar? Lothar was dead.
He had given his heart to Selina through a transplant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could a person survive without a heart? It was impossible for Lothar to be human if he did.
If he wasn't human, what was he? Matthew's scalp turned numb.
He couldn't tell Selina any of this.
Matthew held Selina's hand. "You'd better focus on getting better now. This is your only priority at the moment. Don't think about anything else." She sighed. "Can I not think about it?" However, then she was happy again. "This time, I've settled things between Yesseca and Kylin. I think that Lothar is happy in heaven. Even if I have another hallucination and see Lothar again, I can still face him calmly, because I've taken good care of Yesseca." Matthew smiled, "That's a good thing to keep in mind, don't think about whether it was an illusion or not. You've taken very good care of Yesseca. You don't need to feel ashamed of facing Lothar," As soon as he said that, the baby started crying.
The baby had woken up.
Matthew quickly picked up the baby.
Selina wanted to laugh as she watched him.
Matthew had always been calm and composed in whatever he did. This was the first tshe had seen him so flustered.
He was like this all the twith the baby.
Matthew was really panicking.
Because the baby was so small, Matthew was afraid that he might injure him by accident.
After calming the fussing baby back to sleep, Matthew was covered in sweat.
Selina smiled sweetly at him, "Matthew, you look so flustered," Matthew smiled bitterly.
However, after a short while, he said, "Don't worry, givestime. I promise I'll be a qualified caretaker," She looked at Matthew and said, "Why do you want to be one? Looking after the baby is a woman's job," Matthew looked at Selina and smiled faintly. "It takes a lot of effort to take care of a baby. How can I let you do all of that? I'll do it. It was hard enough for you to give birth to him. Lettake care of the rest." Selina felt warm inside.
She smiled and said, "No, we will take care of him together. Matthew, our family needs both of our effort to make it a happy family. I can't just leave everything to you. I have to contribute as well. I can't be suseless, delicate princess," "It's fine," Matthew's eyes filled with affection. "I'm more than happy to spoil you." Her smile deepened.
The longer she stayed with Matthew, the more convinced she was that being with him was the best decision she had ever made in her entire life.
Soon, the following day came.
Yesseca heard someone knocking frantically on her door.
Montez was still fast asleep, but Yesseca had been awakened by the noise.
She hurried over to open her door.
It was the Quartley family's butler standing outside her door.
The butler looked very anxious. "Miss Cowell, is Mr. Montez here?" "Yes, he is." The butler patted his chest and said, "Thank goodness. I'm so glad he is here with you. He really gavesuch a fright this morning." Yesseca was speechless.
She realized that Montez had lied to her last night.
His family must have been clueless that he had spent the night at her place.
Sure enough, the butler told the sstory.
Last night, the maid tucked Montez into bed and then left his bedroom. Montez sneaked out right after. In the middle of the night, the maid cto check on him and when she pulled his blanket aside, she found that he had gone missing.
The entire Quartley family was up all night looking for him.
"I haven't been able to find him anywhere, until I thought of you, Ms. Cowell. Luckily, he's actually here, if not I'm afraid I would have lost my head," The butler said gratefully.
Yesseca brought Montez out.
Montez was especially embarrassed to have his lie exposed on the spot.
Yesseca bent down and said, "Montez, you shouldn't tell lies next time. Your family didnt even know ho Your family you were here. They must have been terribly worried about you. Look how anxious your butler is," Montez pulled on Yesseca's sleeves pitifully. "If you had told them that, they wouldn't have letcome. I'd miss you terribly." Yesseca's heart softened when she saw Montez's pitiful face. She decided not to scold him anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe housekeeper was in a hurry to take him home.
Montez wanted to stall for time. "It's still so early. I'll go back after I have breakfast with Yesseca." "Mr. Montez!" The butler raised his
voice and said, "We had no idea you disappeared last night. Your grandmother still doesn't know you're missing but she will when she notices you're missing at breakfast, you should know that. We have to leave now," Yesseca patted Montez on his head. "Montez, listen to your butler. Go home." Montez could only pout as he was forced to comply.
After the butler left with Montez, Yesseca didn't feel sleepy anymore.
After washing up, she was about to cook snoodles for breakfast.
Yesseca had just started when she remembered something.
Last night, Kyi in said that he would take her out for breakfast.
After thinking about it, Yesseca turned off the gas.
She sat on the sofa and waited for Kylin.
Having to wait for someone was very boring. She had no idea what to do.
Her mind began to run wild.
She started to think about Montez.
.e She didn't expect Montez to have done something like this. This morning, his butler clooking for him, but if he did something like this again, was she going to have to go through all of that again? She ought to call Tremaine. Yesseca felt like this was a bad idea.
She had to explain things clearly to Montez.
Although it might be somewhat cruel to forbid him from staying over at her place for the tbeing, she had no other choice. She didn't want to see Tremaine again.
