Say You Will Be Mine novel Chapter 18

Samuel's footsteps stopped. He wanted to hold up Rebecca, but Matilda was a step forward.

Carrying a big belly, she could not bend down. Samuel was upset about that, pulled her away and picked up Rebecca.

“I take her to the doctor.”

Hearing that, Matilda reflexively stopped in front of Samuel and said.

“No, she is just in bad health, give her to me.”

Samuel looked at her for a long time with complex eyes and then sneered, “Samuel would not be so mean to do dirty trick to a child.”

Matilda insisted him to give her Rebecca. Samuel had to put Rebecca on the bed of the bedroom.

After Samuel left, Matilda secretly made a call to Aaron and her voice sounded shaking.

“Aaron, can you do me a favor?”

For the first time in seven months, Matilda called him for his help. Aaron did not complain and agreed before Matilda had said what it was.

In the study Samuel was fidgety. Rebecca’s face came to her mind, an unprecedented panic seized his heart, letting him out of breath.

He unbuttoned the first sleeve of his shirt and opened the study door just in time to see Matilda come out of the bedroom.

As if suddenly reassured, he raised his jaw and said resignedly, “Go cook. I would like to have fried steak.”

But this time Matilda did not promise him. Instead, holding her belly, she walked past him and said lightly, “No.”

“What did you say?” He asked, squinting his eyes as he took Matilda's hand.

Matilda tried to shake his hand away. Then she raised her eyes and said calmly, “Cook if you want to eat. I'm only responsible for giving birth to your child.”

Samuel was angry and said in a deep voice, “Matilda, don't think you can be arrogant because I defend you once.”

Matilda answered quietly, “I don’t. I'm in poor health, and I'm struggling to take care of Rebecca, unless you find someone to take care of Rebecca for me.”

Samuel scoffed, “How do I not know you have so many problems?”

Matilda's heart was sour and bitter, but she had to raise her head and ask Samuel, “Please ask Aaron to take care of me.”

Silence.

There was a long silence.

After a long time, when Matilda thought Samuel was going to kill her, Samuel slowly let go of her hand and said in a terrible low voice, “Matilda, how dare you?”

Matilda's heart trembled, but she looked at him without fear and said, “I want Aaron to take care of me.”

Samuel's fingers trembled. He resisted the impulse to lock Matilda up and said coldly, “It's impossible. Even if I die, I won’t let Aaron set foot in my house.”

Matilda showed a bright smile. Samuel was confused about her smile and faintly had a bad presentment.

“Matilda, what are you doing?”

The moment he blurted out the words, Matilda pulled out a bloody pair of scissors from behind and stabbed it toward her belly.
