"You are..." Matthew looked at the gorgeous woman in front of him and asked tentatively.

Even though she was already a mother, Vanessa, this love-struck fool, still had no resistance against handsome men.

"Senior Matthew, I'm Vanessa." Vanessa twisted her fingers and murmured, looking embarrassed. Seeing the hesitation on the man's face, she added unwillingly. "Melina's sister."

In an instant, the man's amber eyes lit up.

"Ah, Hello."

He politely looked at her stomach and congratulated her.

Vanessa stroked her belly with one hand and asked, "I heard that you came back this time because of my sister?"

Her voice was not low, and the people passing by also looked at them.

She thought that Matthew would definitely not admit it.

After all, he was so handsome and outstanding. As for Melina... Thinking of Melina's gown was even more expensive than her betrothal gifts at the banquet that day, she felt her heart ache like it had been stabbed with a knife.

"Yes. I came back for your sister. And I still have to thank you." Matthew suddenly remembered that according to the information he had received, Melina seemed to have been dumped because her sister had stolen her boyfriend away.

"Ah?" Vanessa suddenly blushed and lowered her head shyly, thinking to herself, "He thanked me? Why should he thank me?"

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a strong pressure suddenly swept over her. The faint scent of tobacco on the man's body was intoxicating. Matthew suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. His thin lips gently brushed past her ears, and his sexy and deep voice entered her ears without warning.

"To be exact, thank you and your husband. A perfect match of bitch and dog will last forever. I wish you happiness."

"What!" Vanessa was shocked!

This gentleman, who was like jade, actually scolded her?

She thought to herself, "Did he know who I'm? I'm from Blackwood family!"

Before she could react, the big hand on her waist had already been pulled back. She was pushed to the side of the wall, and her waist fiercely hit the wall. It was very painful, but it was not enough to hurt the child.

When Vanessa came back to her senses, the person who just did that himself stood not far away and looked at her with surprise.

"Vanessa, are you alright? Since you are going to be a mother, it is better to wear high heels less often. It is okay for adults to fall, but fetus are very fragile."

He was still smiling, but the coldness in his eyes made Vanessa shiver.

He had clearly been the one who pushed her, but he actually made a false accusation.

She was about to speak when Dorian came over.

He glanced at the man a few meters away, then turned to Vanessa's legs and frowned with displeasure. "Go to the car and change your shoes. Why don't you act like a mother when you're pregnant?"

"I..."

"Matthew, I heard that you are coming back to create your own clothing brand in the capital. Have you found a partner for advertising? If not..."

Dorian continued to say, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over with both hands.

Seeing Matthew take it, he couldn't help but chat with Matthew again. He didn't notice that behind him, his woman's face was already black like a storm cloud.

...

"Melina."Matthew finally found her.

In the crowd, he saw her sitting in the corner at a glance.

Half of the performance was already over. Matthew, as a guest, had attended the opening ceremony and could already leave.

The lights in the back row were very dim, and the man's deep and expectant eyes were like two beams of light that shone so brightly that she almost could not open her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Melina immediately stood up and gently placed her hand on his, allowing him to lead her away.

Just as she had expected, after all these years, his persistence had become even stronger.

The two walked side by side on the campus, no different from those couples who had finished eating and taking a walk.

He was still standing about one meter away from her. He did not approach her, but it was enough to talk.

This strange atmosphere made Melina feel very nervous. She walked to the central lake and took the lead to sit down at the pavilion.

"Matthew."

"Yes."

"If you have something to ask me, just say it." Melina asked, staring straight at the face that was especially favored by God.

There were many people by the lake during the graduation season. Groups of students lingered-some reluctant to part with the life they knew, others basking in the intimacy of their last moments together. And others finally mustered up the courage to date a dream lover to confess.

The cicadas on the tree cried out excitedly as if they were cheering on the surrounding people. Looking at the person he was thinking about day and night, Matthew was stunned for a few moments. He thought to himself, "She still hasn't changed at all."

"I came back to look for you. I missed you once back then, so I don't want to miss you this time." He said. Before, you said that Dorian could give you happiness, but reality proved that you were wrong. You were completely wrong."

"That's why I came back, to correct my mistake, and then to take you home. My family is different from Blackwood family. My mother passed away early. My father is a businessman, and his requirement for his daughter-in-law respects my willingness. I like you very much and have liked you for many years. Are you willing to give me a chance? A love with the purpose of marriage. Of course, we can also choose to get married first." Matthew kept confessing all the deep feelings for Melina.

It seemed that he was already prepared. The moment his voice fell, a row of candles suddenly lit up by the dark lake. To be precise, they floated on the lake, forming the large shape of a heart. There was also one word appearing in the shape of a heart: Melina...

"This..."

Melina was shocked by the sudden "surprise" and stood up.

"I came with sincerity." He said.

Immediately, the residence booklet, passport, and ID card were stuffed into Melina's hands.

Melina was speechless.

"Matthew... Isn't this too sudden?"

"This, this, this..."

She thought to herself, "Even if you want to confess, at least give me some time! Who would propose directly the moment he appeared without any contacts for a few years!"

"Is it too sudden? But I'm very scared... Ever since I heard that Dorian was going to get married and the marriage partner was not you, I have been regretting every day why I didn't take you away forcefully. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted so many years." Matthew said with sincerity.

"I was prepared to come back as soon as I got the news, but because of the acquisition of assets, it was still a month later than planned. Melina, you won't blame me, right?"

After Matthew finished speaking, he carefully gazed at Melina's expression. He was a handsome successful CEO. But at this moment, he was like a primary school student who had just submitted his homework and was waiting to be praised. He was nervous and uneasy.

Although she did not know how big Matthew's assets in the United States were, selling assets was definitely not something that could be done in a matter of minutes.

She had always known that Matthew liked her.

Although she did not know the reason, he had a very persistent love for her.

Even if he sold all his assets from America for her, he still had to come back.

She was very touched...

Although she was simple, she could distinguish between good and bad.

But...

He was still a step too late.

If he had said this to her a month ago, perhaps she would really be willing to try to be with him. After all, many things could not withstand the test of time, but those that could withstand the test of time must be cherished.

"But Matthew... I'm already married now..."

"What?" Matthew grinned in shock.

"Yes, I'm already married. It's a long story. A month ago, someone brought a child to find me. So... For the child, I got married. This is probably the legendary lack of fate, but I'm still very happy that you likes me. I'm very honored, but I still have to return these things to you." Melina continued, her voice gentle yet firm.

After finishing her words in one breath, Melina felt much more relaxed.

To be honest, getting along with Matthew really made her feel like she was in a fairy tale. It was romantic and dreamy.

But that was only a fairy tale, and fairy tales were used to comfort children.

She was an adult, and living in the present and recognizing reality was the right thing to do.

"Melina, are you joking with me? Oh, I see. Are you being threatened by someone just like before? There are a lot of swindlers in society now, and the appraisal report may be fake. Tell me who that person is, and I will help you check it out. Even if you are really fooled to get a marriage license, a divorce is a matter of minutes." Matthew couldn't believe.

"This... is impossible." Melina shook her head. She still trusted authority appraisal and Luther. She thought that such a magical person should not use this kind of thing to deceive her.

Unless he was really abnormal...

"How is that impossible?"

"Melina, have you forgotten how you were tricked by Dorian back then?" Matthew was a little anxious. He felt that his sweetheart was going to leave him again. He couldn't be bothered to insist on being a gentleman. He walked up to Melina in a few steps and put his hands on Melina's shoulders. He shook them gently.

Melina was a little stunned by his shaking and instinctively said, "I don't think so. Although there aren't many good people in Blackwood family, Luther should not be so bored..."

"Luther?" Matthew was stunned. "Which Luther?"

Matthew's arm that was placed on Melina's shoulders couldn't help but grow heavier.

"It's that Blackwood family. He is the one who wears a mask 24 hours a day..."

"He?"

"How is that possible? Isn't he not allowed to have a wife?" Matthew's expression became a bit strange, making Melina's hair stand on end.

"Do you remember when I told you that I had a sister who passed away from illness?"

"I remember." Melina nodded slightly. She still had a deep impression of this memory, because she had seen the only fragile side of the man in front of her. His sister, who had the best relationship with him since childhood, passed away in her twenties because of cancer.

Melina continued to think, "But what does this have to do with Luther? Could it be that cancer was caused by Luther? Impossible!"

"She... was once engaged to Luther." Matthew said, "Originally, the doctor's diagnosis was that she still had two months to live. However, after being engaged to Luther, she died after a month. To be precise, apart from his rumored girlfriend, Miss Cecily Haverford, Luther has been engaged to three ladies. And everyone of them died in less than a month after being engaged to him. If the Luther you are talking about is really him..." Matthew realized that he could not continue.

If he remembered correctly, what Melina just said was that a month ago, Luther found her...

Melina was completely shocked.
