Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2071

This was the first time I was so afraid of him. Matthew suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at me, a bloodthirsty light in his eyes. "You’re the one who forced me to go down this dead end!”

"No, it’s because you’re too stubborn." I denied.

Matthew's lips curled as he moved closer to me. No matter how much I backed away, he could still grab me with just both his arms. He tilted his head and his smile intensified. "I'm stubborn? What about Theo? Is he not stubborn?"

He lowered his head and sneered. The smile was grim and it was even more terrifying in this darkness. He then raised his eyes to look at me "I brought so many people together to try to bring him down, but he turned the tables on me in the end. How extremely cunning!"

"The YA you built wouldn’t be in this state if you’d been able to let it go. You also wouldn't have been ruined."

"Ruined?"

He chuckled and stared at me with round eyes. Matthew looked to have gone insane. His expression when he looked at me was startling. "I just wanted you to be with me, am I so wrong for that?!"

"But I don't want to be with you." I turned my face away, not wanting to look at him.

This sentence seemed to anger him. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Wanda, don't make me do this on you. Theo used to bully you so much. I don't understand why you want to stay with him?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Why wouldn’t I? It boils down to one word, love. You love him, that’s why you want to be with him. I love you too and I want you to be with me too."

"Love is about mutual affection, I'm not interested in you."

"It's okay, time will change you." He let go of me and his voice gradually softened.

The softness made me shiver, however.

I shook my head. "You're really crazy, Matthew."

"How is it that Theo loves you when he treats you like that? But when it comes to me, I’m the lunatic?" Matthew narrowed his eyes. His pale face was becoming more and more hideous.
