367 | Want Mommy
Itwas already evening, and Matthew was still crying like a wind-up toy, causing everyone to feel exhausted.
Henry said anxiously to Peter, "Matthew is still refusing to eat anything, sir. He's been saying he wants to see his mother for days. After he fell asleep last night, his nanny fed him some milk secretly. But he didn't eat anything other than that. What should we do?"
Peter frowned and said, "Before, | knew Matthew and Anna were close, and | assumed he simply liked her a lot. But it seems that blood ties appear to be extremely powerful. He only listens to Anna, so we may be out of options."
Henry said cautiously, "What about calling Miss Gabriel? She's Matthew's mother, and she's definitely going to take care of her son." Peter said, shaking his head, "She's going to sue Wayne in a few days, and Anna wants Matthew back. Matthew is my only great-grandson, and Wayne probably won't get married again. So | can't hand him over to Anna."
"But Matthew won't eat anything!"
Peter took a deep breath and said, "Let me go check on him."
Peter used to be a very energetic old man. He had, however, been through so much in that time that he appeared exhausted.
Matthew shared a yard with Peter but lived in a different house. He cried almost every second of the last few days, keeping everyone in the whole yard awake. During the day, the servants would yawn while working asa result. '366 | Want Mommy
Peter quickly made his way to the door. A porcelain bowl smashed to. the ground at that moment, spilling the porridge inside.
A servant sat on the bed, looking exhausted. When he saw Peter, he stood up and said, "Sir!"
"Let me handle it,' Peter sighed, waving his hand.
Matthew's voice was hoarse from crying, but he still didn't stop. Peter approached Matthew. He no longer looked imposing but very gentle. He took one of Matthew's hands and asked softly, "Matthew, why are you crying? Could you please tell me?"
Matthew was crying so hard that he couldn't even breathe. "I
wa... want my mommy!" he mumbled.
Peter had known that Matthew would say that. But when he heard it, he still felt very heartbroken. He said, "Matthew, your mother and father will not get married. Your father will find you a new mommy that you like in the future. Is that OK?"
Matthew shouted, "No! | just want my mommy!"
Matthew was crying so hard that Peter had no idea what to do. He hugged the little guy and said, "OK, you can meet your mom. Stop crying, dear. Ill take you to see your mom tomorrow."
Matthew leaned into Peter's arms, gasping for air from crying. He looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Really?"
