Ludwik had been rendered speechless by Matthew's words.
His son had had a way with words every since he was young. Ludwik could not find any grounds to refute Matthew's words.
"Whatever you say then," Ludwik said finally.
"Dad, it's not just whatever I say. I hope you can understand me. I'm your son and I'm sure you hope that I can go on and live a happy life. Plus, love and marriage is some of the most important stages in life. I hope you can understand," Matthew explained again.
Ludwik's eyes flashed with deep thoughts.
"What about Dylan? How is he?" Ludwik asked again.
"I don't know how Dylan is doing now. All I know is that Selina and him broke up peacefully."
Ludwik let out a long sigh, "Forget it. If that's all you have to tell me, then what more is there for me to say?"
A smile appeared on Matthew's face, "I knew that you would give me your blessings."
"Of course I will."
"Then you should rest early," Matthew reminded.
"Hey, boy, give me back my book."
Matthew held the book in his hand and waved it at Ludwik, "Didn't you agree that you will go to bed early so that you can live longer? You can read this tomorrow during the day."
"You brat!"
Matthew took the book back to his bedroom and put it on the bedstand.
Selina had fallen asleep.
It was most likely because she was in a good mood that night. In the previous nights she had had a hard time falling asleep but not that night.
Matthew climbed into the bed and hugged Selina.
He kissed her forehead again.
"Selina, we will definitely live happily ever after," Matthew said softly.
The voice was soft but determined.
While Matthew and Selina cuddled each other to sleep, the Yeager family had been plunged into a mess.
Lucinda kept interrogating Rainee on whose child she was pregnant with. Rainee had answered her multiple times that it was Matthew's.
"Mom, the child in my belly belongs to Matthew.
Why don't you believe me?" Rainee shouted.
Lucinda was extremely angry, "If the child in your belly is Matthew's, then let's do a blood test to confirm it. As long as the results show that the father is Matthew, I will ask him to marry you immediately."
Rainee looked at Lucinda helplessly and cried, "Mom, I don't want to draw any blood. I'm afraid of needle and pain. I feel dizzy whenever I see blood."
Lucinda was about to burst with anger.
At last, Matheo was the one who managed to calm Lucinda down.
He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, don't talk to Rainee anymore. Don't you realize that she's not acting normally? Just let her have a good rest."
Only then did Lucinda stopped questioning Rainee.
She then asked Matheo, "Matheo, do you know who the father of the child in Rainee's belly is? I'm going to take revenge on that man!"
Matheo did not dare to say who it was.
He could only shake his head and said, "I'm not sure."
Lucinda glared at Matheo furiously, "You're her brother. Now that something like this has happened to your sister, how can you not know who the father of child is! How can you be so irresponsible?"
Matheo remained silent.
The night quickly passed.
The next day, Reid received a call from Liselle.
