Matthew pursed his lips, obviously upset at what I just said.
I raised my eyebrow and softened my tone. "Matthew, everyone has the right to make their own choices.
Was Marcus happy when he was with your mother? Were you happy? Don't you think that things aren’t so bad now?"
Everyone has the right to choose a better person and a better life. This was not wrong. Matthew was in no position to change anything. If he did not learn to accept it, then he would never be happy. The same went for his mother.
"Are you educating me?" Matthew's eyes were ice-cold.
"Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Zimmer. I have no intention o f educating you." I spread my arms and sighed helplessly. "I wouldn't be saying these things if you hadn't vented out on me for no reason. This is your family’s matter. Outsiders like me have no right to say anything about it."
Having said that, I planned to turn around and leave. I f this continued, both of us would only get upset at each other.
However, Matthew had no plans of letting me leave
and rushed over to stand in my way.
"How can I help you, Mr. Zimmer?" I asked in a cold and distant voice.
"When you grow tired of a person, can you bring yourself to abandon him without a single hesitation, then throw yourself into the arms of another man? If that’s the case, when you're tired of Theo one day, I can reluctantly accept you. I hope you won’t refuse me when that day comes."
What logic was this?
I held my forehead, feeling my head hurting slightly." Mr, Zimmer, I'll just take it as you've had too much to drink. Can I ask you to please step aside and stop harassing me?"
Matthew was very problematic, especially at this moment. It would be wise for me to stay away from him.
He stepped aside and continued to follow me from behind, which irritated me greatly.
There was a swimming pool in the backyard of the villa. We would have to go past the pool to get to the front yard from the garden. Just then, a broad hand pressed on my shoulder.
