Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 278

Addy moved out. Her house was not near Jacob's but close to the Carter's mansion, which was convenient for her to go back. Richard thought it would be too hard to live alone. Close to the Carter's mansion, she could come back more easily when there were parties.

The Carter's mansion had totally changed from the previous harmony and bustle to the loneliness now.

Watching the forlorn living room, Richard lapsed into the silence of reminiscence. In his childhood, he and other kids surrounded Grandpa John, listening to him telling various stories.

At that time, they were very happy. The living room was a paradise for them. But now, it was full of sorrow.

"Well, Richard, gone are the days when we are young and innocent. We need to step forward instead of dwelling in the past," said Cathy, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Mom, you have had a hard time these days" said Richard. Finally, Cathy could be at ease at home after Addy left.

"Richard, you also have had a tough time. All the matters of the family rely on you. You and Amy..." Cathy wanted to talk about something about Amy with him.

"Mom, this is my affair. You don't have to worry about it. I'll go to the company. You should go to have a rest." Richard didn't want to talk about anything about Amy with other, which would only make him sad.

"Alright, I will not talk about her. I will get Allen here in a few days. He is my grandson and you are his father. You should usually communicate with him." Cathy sighed deeply and went back to her room. There were fewer people in the house.

Without saying anything, Richard just stared after her. Mother had sacrificed a lot for the family these yeas. Too much water had passed under the bridge since he grew up. Father died. Mother got older and older without his care.

The Carter's mansion returned to peace again. There were only Richard, Hilary and Cathy in the house now. Janice and her children didn't come over to have meals together. They had their own space. Their life stayed the same.

...

"Miss Newell, long time no see. Come on! Sit here," said Matt. Looking at Amy in a black suit, he was deeply impressed by her smart look. It was very difficult to invite Amy for a meal. He made it by doing her a favor. And all he did for Amy was completely of his own accord.

"Hello, Mr. Wilson. Don't be so inhibited," said Amy. It might sound weird that the helper invited the person who needed help to have meals. But for Matt, to help Amy was a great pleasure.

Amy sat down. She had been invited by Matt for several times but declined all. This time, he did her such a great favor. It would be impolite to decline his invitations again.
