Say You Will Be Mine novel Chapter 21

Matilda's condition was getting worse and worse.

She often got in a coma while she was sitting, or a large stream of blood gushed out of her nose. She was like a flower about to wither.

Seeing that, Aaron was angry and distressed, but ultimately he said nothing. He could only silently take care of her and made her feel better as far as possible.

Matilda would babble on about many things to him, about Rebecca, about the child in her belly, but never a word about herself.

She was doomed to be out of the children's future.

As always, Samuel was absent from home.

Most of the time, Matilda would sit on the balcony and look down from it to see the door of the family yard. She was always the first one to see Samuel when he came back.

This day, Samuel made a phone call to Matilda for the first time.

“Get dinner ready.” He said and did not show the most basic concern to a pregnant woman, but she was ecstatic.

She hurried downstairs with her phone in her hand and stood in front of the fridge for a long time, not knowing what to make for a while.

She could make a cake for him, but she did not know now if she got enough time.

It was Samuel's birthday.

In the car, Samuel hung up the phone and glimpsed the children's clothes his just bought out of the corner of his eye.

He did not know what happened to him. After having dinner with customers, when he saw the children's clothes in the shopping mall, he stood there and bought them under the curious eyes of the customer. And he made a call to Matilda saying that he would go back for dinner.

Thinking of the surprised voice on the phone, he was in a slightly better mood.

Well, it was just a meal. Don't be afraid.

Would she remember his birthday?

Samuel looked down and thought.

At this time, there was a phone call. It was Samuel's special assistant.

“Boss, there is something wrong with the United Staten branch of the project we are following recently. The person in charge of them thinks that the people we sent could not express our respect to them, so they have not been willing to sign.”

Samuel would pay close attention to this project for the next three years. No mistakes would be allowed. Hearing that report from his assistant, he said, “Buy a ticket to fly in two hours. I personally will fly to the United States to talk with their responsible person.”

“All right.”

As soon as he said this, he felt a moment of regret because he promised to go back for dinner.

Staring at the familiar number, his finger hovered over the dial button for a long time, until he finally shoved the phone into his pocket and drove deadpan toward the airport.

Didn't it show he care much about her?

He was not that cheap.

Black Mercedes disappeared in the next traffic light intersection, however, Samuel did not know --

It was a farewell forever.

Matilda worked happily in the kitchen for a long time, frying the black pepper steak for Samuel, his favorite food, and putting the cake from the cake shop on the table. She even ordered a bunch of daisies, which she carefully placed in a vase on the table, waiting quietly for the arrival of Samuel.
