However, she tried her best to maintain her smile. "Walking to school doesn't look good. If we drive Lorraine to school, it'll make a better impression."
Matthew took out his car keys and pressed a button. Not far away, a Rolls-Royce chirped, and its lights flashed three times.
Matthew walked toward the Rolls-Royce with Lorraine in his arms. "We have a car."
Tessa looked at the Rolls-Royce, her eyes filled with astonishment.
A new Rolls-Royce!
The car alone was worth nearly half Evergreen Group's value. It was much better than her car!
Tessa's expression turned sour.
When she thought about it more, she realized that Rachel must have bought the car since Matthew didn't have the money.
This realization shocked Tessa even more. Rachel and Matthew had only been together for a few days, and she had already bought him such a nice car.
Seeing that Matthew was about to get into the car, Tessa quickly ran a few steps to catch up. "Matthew, I've already admitted my mistakes. What more do you want?"
Matthew opened the rear door and gently placed Lorraine in. He carefully fastened her seatbelt and closed the door.
When he was sure that Lorraine couldn't hear anything, he said, "You're asking me what I want from you?" His voice was laced with disappointment and anger.
How could Tessa even ask such a question?
Tessa was somewhat exasperated. "Before we divorced, no matter what I did wrong, you always forgave me as long as I apologized. Why are you being so petty this time? What do you want from me?"
Matthew replied coldly, "As you said, that was before we got divorced. Back then, I tolerated you because I was your husband! Now that we're divorced, we have nothing to do with each other anymore!
"Why should I forgive you? You want to know what I want? I want you to stay far away!"
With that, he got into the car, started it up, and slowly drove away.
Tessa's face turned red after being scolded. She felt increasingly unsettled as she watched Matthew drive away in the luxury car.
Thinking back, Matthew used to be so obedient to her. He had been willing to do anything for her and had even gone to prison for her.
Why had things changed? Wasn't he supposed to love her?
It must have all been a lie!
The more Tessa thought about it, the more resentful she became.
