Chapter 945

"Why did you give up on him?"

I suddenly broke down. "What right did you have to give up on him? As long as there was a little rayof hope, you shouldn’t have given up on him. Even if there wasn't any hope at all, you should've atleast waited until I could take a look at him!"

Matthew cast his eyes down, his expression remaining calm. "He was already deformed. Even if hesurvived, he would only become your burden. That would’ve been equally painful for him."

"He’s my child!" I covered my chest, replaceing it hard to breathe through the pain in my chest.

"Besides, I was the one who didn't protect him well and caused him to get hurt. How could I blamehim?"

Matthew looked at me with a coldness in his eyes. "I told Theo these things so he would let you go.He needs a child of his own but I don't. If you like children, then when Liz delivers, I'll give herenough money to send her back to France and let you raise the child. He'll grow up with Munchkinand you’ll be very content. You’ll be much more content than being with Theo."

I looked at his calm demeanor as he said those words

and felt fear in my heart. How did he become like this? How selfish, scary, and frightening!

Knowing that I could not conceive anymore, he wanted Liz to leave the country after she gave birthand let me raise her child. With that, he would have both a lover and a child.

He only put himself first and did not put himself in other people's shoes.

"You're too selfish, Matthew." I looked at him with a face full of disappointment. "You only thinkabout yourself. What about Liz? She loves you so much, yet you're hurting her so unscrupulously.

Do you not have a conscience at all?"

Matthew sneered. "Why should I care about the feelings of someone I don't even care about?"

We were on a different page. I did not want to change his mind, nor did I have the ability to.

I took a deep breath and got up from the bench. "You obliterated my child’s hope of surviving, andTheo destroyed your career. This is absolutely fair. And for saving my life, I'll replace the chance torepay you."

Having said that, I was about to leave but Matthew grabbed my arm, refusing to let me leave.

"There's nothing left to say between us." I looked at him with an icy gaze.

"Can you sit with me for a while more?"

He pulled me back to the bench again. "I know you hate me. Maybe you don't even want to see me,but I'm just too lonely. On the night of the eve of National Day, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceilingwindow for a very long time and looked out at the lights of various houses. I felt so lonely that it wasalmost too much for me to bear. I've spent the last few years like this. I don't want to think of thepast, but I still can't stop myself from dreaming about my parents. I dreamed that on the night of theeve of National Day, there was a sumptuous meal on the table. My parents and I were sitting at thetable and the sound of laughter lingered i n my ears."

After a pause, he continued, "Every time I woke up to a n empty house, a piece of my heart wouldgo missing. During moments like these, I would feel a strong urge t o see you. I would drive to yourplace, stand outside to look at the brightly lit villa, and imagine what you were doing. Sometimes, Ieven felt the urge to go in and take you away."

His voice was filled with sorrow, and his words could make one's heart ache. However, I did not sayanything. I would not.

I glanced indifferently at him. "It's getting late. I should go.”

He nodded and did not stop me anymore. He merely said, "Wanda, has it ever crossed your mindthat Munchkin is not Theo's son? No matter how much he loves you, he has a whole family behindhim to think about. He needs a child, an heir who carries the Grants ' bloodline. If Quinn knows thatyou can't give him a

child, do you think she'll allow you to stay with him?"

I laughed out of anger. "Matthew Zimmer, you're really great at adding salt to a person’s wound. Youknow the best things to say to bring pain to other people. But that's just your own opinion.Everyone's different. Not everyone is so selfish and inconsiderate to divorce their wife just becauseshe can't conceive and then replace someone they don’t even love just so she can give him a child." 1
