When the Family 60 Chapter 60 Matheo's Decision Matheo was in a great mood. His gaze toward Julia carried a warm, unmistakable fondness.
The three of them sat around the dinner table, chatting over a calm and cozy meal.
Finished Halfway through, Matheo set down his chopsticks, pressed his lips together for a moment, and made an announcement.
"I've decided I'm going back tomorrow." Emily's eyes flickered with surprise.
For a moment, she froze. But it passed quickly, and she picked up her usual gentle smile, warm and supportive. "Of course. I'll support whatever you decide. If you need to leave, don't delay," she said softly, her voice light and smooth like. spring rain. “Julia and I can go back home." By "home," she meant the seaside villa she and Julia had always lived in.
Every tMatheo cto Laskal, he'd fly out to the villa and stay with them for a while.
This was the first the'd invited them to cstay where he lived instead.
But Emily wasn't naive. She knew this setup wasn't permanent.
As long as Matheo still had a family back home, he was going to return eventually.
So she had already prepared herself for it..
Matheo noticed that flicker of disappointment in her eyes.
His heart ached a little. His gaze softened even more as he looked at her.
"I didn't even finish, and you've already made plans," he teased gently.
"I just don't want you worrying about us," Emily replied, lowering her eyes.
Matheo gave a small laugh and reached out, gently wrapping his fingers around hers.

"I do plan to leave tomorrow," Matheo said, patting the back of her hand. "But not alone. I want you and Julia to cwith me.
Emily's eyes widened in shock.
That was the last thing she expected to hear.
Even Julia looked stunned.
For them, "going back" had always been a fantasy.
Sure, they lived well overseas. They had plenty of money and access to the best resources. But people always preferred familiar surroundings. And back home. they still had relatives.
More than that, they were tired of being hidden.
No matter how nice the villa was, no matter how much money Matheo gave them, it didn't change the fact that they'd been. kept in the dark-like something shameful.
426 PM d Chapter 60 Mathen's Decision Neither of them showed much emotion on the surface. But inside, both mother and daughter were overwhelmed. "Are you joking?" Emily asked, looking down to hide her reaction.
Finished "I'm not," Matheo said seriously. He held both her and Julia's hands in his, voice low and steady. "I didn't bring you back before because the timing wasn't right. I wasn't ready. But you've always been patient. I've never forgotten that, and I'm grateful "But now I'm ready. I can protect you. I want you to chwith me." Of course, he didn't mention the other reason: those damned creditors Sienna sicced on him. He was tired of dodging them. The best move now was to leave the country-and bringing Emily and Julia along was just convenient.
Right now, though, he looked like the picture of sincerity.
Emily didn't want to believe it, but she couldn't help herself. She was touched.
"Whatever you say, Matheo," she replied sweetly.
Beside her, Julia's eyes curved into a happy smile.
"That's great! I can finally go o visit Grandma." That night, Emily and Julia were in their room, packing.
"You've been doing great lately. Emily praised her daughter while folding clothes into a suitcase. "Your father's been in such a good mood." Emily never asked for much. She just wanted Julia to win Matheo over-whether it was saying the right things or serving him food at dinner.
If she could keep Matheo happy, he'd stay close. If not for her, then for Julia.
And clearly, it was working.
Emily had never dared dream they'd get to go back.
Now, it was actually happening.
Julia nodded.
She was only thirteen, but she wasn't clueless.
She knew she was born out of wedlock. She knew Matheo already had a family.
There was another girl back home, her exact age.
Sfather.
But that girl had everything. A respected family name. A proper identity.
While she and her mom had been stuck overseas like shadows. Hidden.
She wanted to go home.
And she wanted her father to give them the rightful place they deserved.
Even if her mother hadn't taught her how to act around Matheo, she would've figured it out herself.
