Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1288

Liz could have lived a glamorous life. It was hard to tell if she was intentionally letting herself look so wretched and bad.

"I understand what you mean," Liz said with a calm countenance. “But if I do that, then he might never fall in love with me and keep chasing after you for the rest of his life."

After a pause, she chuckled bitterly and continued, "I haven't touched a single cent he gave me all these years. I refuse the money offered by my parents as well. I turned myself into an ordinary woman, working hard to make a living for myself and my child. One day, he’ll see how difficult this is for me. I just need to wait until this day comes to snatch the opportunity to win his heart."

It was normal for her to think that way. A man who had a successful career and was outstanding in various aspects would never be lacking in women.

The women who tried to approach him were either coveting his wealth or his love. Liz was no different from those women.

Liz knew that very well, so in order to not make Matthew think that she was similar to those women, she chose to go off the beaten track. She turned herself into a woman who yearned only for his love and nothing else.

By doing so, Matthew had no other way of compensating her other than with his love.

Love must be compensated with love. Otherwise, one would only keep owing.

I looked at her face full of sorrow and felt truly sorry for her.

I did not know what else to say about her and Matthew's relationship, so I said, "It's time I return to Whaldorf City. I booked a flight ticket for tonight. You're not familiar with this place, so I'm worried about you. I'll give you my friend's contact number. You can look for her if you need any help."

Liz pursed her lips. "Thank you, Wanda.”

After a pause, she continued, "We could've been best friends."

Those words hit me like a hammer, and I felt really bad. I still said with a smile, "It's nice this way too."

There were a lot of helpless situations in life. Fate played a huge role regardless of friendships or relationships.

Liz and I were destined to meet but not fated to be friends.

When we returned to the ward, Matthew had already fallen asleep.
