My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

In the ward of the central hospital of Krine. Roseane lay quietly on the bed, as if she was simply sleeping. Matthew had been sitting by the bed and watching her silently. Eliza pushed open the door and walked in. It was already 11 oclock in the evening. Demarion called her and asked her to go home just now, but she was not in the mood to go home at all. She didn’t want to go home or sleep. She wanted to stay here like Matthew. What if Roseane woke up the next second? “Eliza.” Matthew was facing her with his back and asked in a deep voice, “Do you think I’m an asshole?” His eyes were fixed on Roseane’s face. “When you sent me the message tonight, I should have gone to see you.” “If I had gone to find you… maybe everything would be different.” Eliza pursed her lips. “I’m also responsible for this…” She should not have listened to the director and left. Even if Esme’s target was her, it would be better for Esme’s people to take her away than take Roseane away! After all, she had learned martial arts from Luca before. And Roseane did not know anything. She was just a simple woman. “I hold the greatest responsibility.” Matthew took a deep breath and reached out to hold Roseane’s cold hand. “I shouldn’t lose my temper with her and draw a clear line between us.” “I always know that she likes me.” “But I only regarded her as a friend. I won’t fall for any woman for some reason.” “All those women who came and went by my side was just to make her give up.” His voice was low and hoarse. “She is so beautiful and smart. She has a great reputation in the entertainment circle and has a bright future. Why did she waste her time on a playboy like me?”

Eliza stood at the same spot. When she heard his words, her fingers fiercely grabbed her sleeves. “So what have you done today…” “I…” Matthew sighed. “It’s her birthday a few days later. She asked me if I could accompany her back to visit her family on her birthday.” “She said her family has been looking forward to meet me for a long time.” “I know that she’s still unwilling to give up on me.” He closed his eyes and recalled Roseane’s eyes which were filled with despair this afternoon. “I told her that I have been using her.” “I founded the Thunder Company not to prove my ability to my family, but to make money to hook up with girls.” “She is just a tool for me to make money. I have been hanging on to her for so many years. I was sometimes close to her for the fact that I want her to work and make more money for me.” “I also said…” “I also said that I have made enough money and will propose to the woman I like in a few days.” “I’d be glad if she’s willing to stay and make money for me. If not, she should just pay the penalty fee for breaching the contract. When she signed the contract with me, she was just a rookie with a monthly salary of 500 dollars and the penalty fee is just twenty thousand dollars or so.” Matthew laughed bitterly as he recalled Roseane crying. Later, she smiled. “I see.” She stood in front of him and beamed. “I have to thank Mr. Valentine for the years of nurturing me. After all, without you, I won’t be this successful.” “I was the only one who signed the contract of Thunder Company back then. I did not hesitate to use all kinds of rumors to hype up and rise just to stop your parents from thinking that you’re useless.” “Although you lied to me, I kept my promise to you.” “I will transfer the penalty money to your account.” “Thank you for letting me go when my career has just reached its peak, Mr. Valentine. I will remember your kindness.” “When you get married, I will give you a big gift.” In the end, she gritted her teeth and looked at him. “Matthew, I wish you happiness   forever.”

Matthew held Roseane’s hand. He believed that everything he did was for her own good. Unexpectedly, it was him who pushed her to another abyss. She was a girl with a strong sense of self-esteem. No matter what, the incident that had happened tonight would definitely traumatize her. He even thought that after tonight’s incident, she would not accept any other men anymore. Since everything happened because of him, he should be responsible for her. He would give her the happiness she could not get. His happiness… Anyway, he had long lost his happiness. “I still have one more question.” Eliza pursed her lips and sat down on the chair beside Matthew. “Are you sure you don’t like Roseane?” Not necessarily. When she met Matthew before this, he always had a smile in his eyes whenever he mentioned Roseane.

Eyes and habits could not fool people. “I don’t.” Matthew replied coldly, “I like someone else.” Eliza bit her lip. She did not expect Matthew to answer her so firmly without any hesitation. After a long while, she took a deep breath and tried to slow down her tone. “Since you don’t like Roseane, even if you marry her, she won’t be happy.” “You won’t be happy either.” Matthew sneered and looked up at her with his bottomless eyes. “What about you?” “When you married my uncle, did you like him? Did my uncle like you?” “If I’m not mistaken, when you married Beau, you didn’t even meet him officially. You were still sad for your ex-boyfriend.” “Do you feel unhappy now?” His question was so harsh that Eliza did not know how to answer it. After a long while, she sighed. “I respect your choice.”
