Chapter 1277 Lucinda's breath stopped.
"Matheo, what did you just say?!" Matheo gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, letbe honest and tell you everything. Rainee found herself a boyfriend, and she got pregnant by accident. Rainee was afraid that she would be scolded by you and dad, so she deliberately dragged Matthew into this mess. That's what happened. The child in Rainee's belly has nothing to do with Matthew!" Lucinda's rage was thundering.
She stared at Rainee and growled, "Is Matthew the father of the child in your belly?" Rainee persisted in her answer and said, "Mom, the child in my belly really belongs to Matthew!" "Do a blood test and verify who the father is then!" "No, mom, I don't want to. I'm afraid of pain. I'll faint when I see blood!" Lucinda had managed to more or less calm herself down a little, at this moment.
She took Rainee's hand and said, "You, go back home. My reputation is going to suffer because of you." Lucinda dragged Rainee, who was crying and howling, out of the Perry family house.
Several of Lucinda's friends slowly slipped out of the house.
"Matthew, Mr. Ludwik, sorry to bring you trouble." Matheo was the one who stayed at last, to deal with the other problems.
He bowed and apologized to both Matthew and Ludwik.
He then apologized to Selina, "Miss Whitlock, I'm sorry we've troubled you." Selina snorted and said nothing.
Matthew patted Matheo's shoulder and said, "Your family is probably now in chaos. Head back and deal with it." After Matheo left, Ludwik sighed. "What's going on? I remember meeting Rainee few years ago, and she was still a demure, meek, good girl. But, now, she seems to have gone wild and crazy." Matthew pursed his lips.
Ludwik's gaze swept across Selina. "Last time, she clearly cover as Dylan's girlfriend, and now it's all changed." Ludwick voice was soft as if he was talking to himself, but at the stime, it was audible to the people around him.
Selina finally opened her mouth to speak, "Mr. Ludwik, I was indeed originally Dylan's girlfriend but now I've broken up with Dylan. Everything with Dylan is now in the past. I hope you can understand." Ludwik's eyes darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatthew looked straight at Ludwik. "Dad, Selina is talking to you. You have to understand, even if you don't want to." Ludwik was at a loss of words.
He helplessly glanced at Matthew and said, "Well, well, I can't do anything with you, my son. I understand everything, what else can I do if I don't understand?! Anyways, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." Saying that, Ludwik headed upstairs.
Matthew and Selina exchanged a glance.
Selina shook her head and said, "What a scene." "It's fine. It's now all in the past." Selina nodded. "Why didn't you say at the beginning that you had a friend who could do the DNA test? Why spend so much trambling on with Rainee?" Matthew's black eyes shone with wisdom. "All things takes tand planning, Selina. Things won't be successful if you attempt to just break it through at once. My conversation with Rainee was to plant suspicion in everyone's minds, so then when Rainee refused to do the DNA test that I asked for, people would have known and understood the answer." Realization dawned on Selina.
She sighed with amazement at Matthew's wisdom and wit.
"Let's rest," Selina suggested.
They entered the bedroom, but Matthew did not change his clothes.
"Why don't you sleep?" Selina was already lying on the bed.
"I'll talk to my father. If I don't, he will probably have a sleepless night tonight," Matthew said.
Selina understood why Matthew wanted to do so.
It would have been a shock to anybody to see their grandson's girlfriend change to being their son's girlfriend.
Ludwik's reaction, had been in fact, very calm.
"Okay. Have a good talk with your dad." Matthew kissed Selina on her forehead. "Good night, my little girl." "Good night." Selina sweetly smiled at Matthew.
Selina felt that in her heart she understood lots of things after tonight's incident, and after listening to Matthew's words.
She felt that Matthew was indeed a smart man, for being able to solve Saoirse's issue, and had planned things one step at a tinstead of breaking it all out. After a while, Matthew knocked on the door of Ludwik's bedroom.
"Cin, the door is unlocked." Ludwik's voice was heard immediately.
Matthew pushed the door open and walked in. Ludwik was leaning against the bed while wearing a pair of glasses. He had a thick book in his hand.
"Dad, you're still reading at this late hour?" Matthew asked casually.
Ludwik gave a "hmph" and replied, "I didn't want to read, but could I not with everything that happened today? Do you think I am able to sleep, after everything?" Rainee's incident had caused a ruckus for Matthew, and coupled with the fact that Selina was his girlfriend now, made it a snowball of issues for Ludwik. Ludwik felt complicated feelings, seeing how his grandson's girlfriend was now his son's girlfriend.
His grandson and son were both his flesh and blood. Which one should he abandon? Ludwik contemplated over it, troubled.
Matthew smiled.
He reached out his long arms and took the book from Ludwik's hand.
Ludwik was still unhappy. "What are you doing with my book?" "I want to talk with you. We should have a good talk, and naturally you cannot be distracted with reading," Matthew said in an as-a-matter-of-fact way.
"Are we going to talk for a whole night? That is impossible. I will continue reading after our talk." "You'll go to bed after our talk. You're so old in age you should sleep early if you want to live a little longer, right?" Ludwik was at a loss for words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe snorted heavily. "If I can't live long, that's because of you." "Dad, you have a loyal son." Matthew's words made Ludwik feel much more comfortable in his heart.
Ludwik admitted that Matthew may have talked back to him all this time, but he was a loyal son who carried out his duties well.
"Matthew, what exactly is it that you want to talk about?" Ludwik quickly got to the heart of the matter.
"Dad, you seemed to have had a girlfriend before mother," Matthew said.
Ludwik was silent.
He blushed and said, "How did you know that?" "Because I peeked into your diary when I was a child." Ludwik was speechless.
He felt a little awkward and said, "That's normal. Who can guarantee that you will just fall in love once in your life, and meet your true love then? Whatever it was, I still love your mom the most, that is unquestionable." "Yes, who can guarantee that you will only fall in love once in your life?" Matthew said meaningfully.
Ludwik immediately understood what Matthew meant.
"How dare you trickwith my words!" "Dad." Matthew's tone turned
serious. "Everyone will meet different people throughout their whole life, but whoever they end up with would be the person that these.
most m el compatible with. That is also the case for Selina. She can't guarantee that she can only fall in love once, with only one person,in her lifetime. It was just pure coincidence that her ex was related to me, that's all." Ludwik did not speak.
Matthew continued, "You and mom were happy together, and I'm sure that previous girlfriend of yours also found someone to like the rest of her life happily with. Selina and. Dylan broke up because they weren't compatible enough with each other. After they separated, they would have gone along to find their happiness with the right person, isn't that so?" X
