“Matthew… I’m not going to give up my power. Between Aaron and me, you’re going to have to choose who to be loyal to.”
Biting wp4webnovel.com lip, Nancy got out of Matthew’s embrace.
A forlorn look appeared in Matthew’s eyes at Nancy’s ultimatum. He did like Nancy, but Aaron was going to be Nico’s future husband and his future son-in-law. Picking either side would seem like the wrong choice.
“Nancy…” Matthew looked at her. “Your grandson is not young anymore. Is it so bad to lie back and enjoy your days as the queen mother?”
Upon hearing his answer, Nancy turned away and walked straight toward the window. “Leave. From now on, we shall go our separate ways.”
Nancy had summoned Matthew to the study because wp4webnovel.com wanted wp4webnovel.com to choose between wp4webnovel.com and Aaron. Since wp4webnovel.com had picked Aaron, the two of them could only be enemies from then on. However, wp4webnovel.com was undoubtedly indignant about the outcome.
To get Matthew onto wp4webnovel.com side, wp4webnovel.com had even entrusted wp4webnovel.com body to him. Yet, in the end, wp4webnovel.com had chosen Aaron.
Regardless, there was no one Nancy could blame except herself. She was reaping what wp4webnovel.com had sown. If wp4webnovel.com had not insisted on Nico’s and Aaron’s engagement to win Matthew’s favor, perhaps Matthew would stand on wp4webnovel.com side full-heartedly. Unfortunately, wp4webnovel.com had miscalculated. Her actions had only pushed wp4webnovel.com furtherfrom her.
“Nancy…”
There was a shift in Matthew’s expression.
He had not expected Nancy to be this ruthless as to ask wp4webnovel.com to leave without hesitation-both physically and in wp4webnovel.com life. Matthew could not accept such an outcome.
If it were in the past-when they had not spent so much time with each other, perhaps Matthew would not mind. However, the two of them had spent a few days like husband and wife. Even though it had only been a few days, Matthew was troubled by the thought of Nancy kicking wp4webnovel.com out.
“Are you sure you want me to leave and for us to go our separate ways?” With that said, Matthew turned to leave without waiting for a response from Nancy.
Nancy had originally planned to guilt-trip Matthew. Seeing that wp4webnovel.com was really about to leave, wp4webnovel.com was filled with rage.
With a few huge strides, Nancy caught up to wp4webnovel.com and hugged wp4webnovel.com from behind. “You’re bullying me!”
Nancy had taken care of wp4webnovel.com figure very well. Even though wp4webnovel.com was almost sixty, wp4webnovel.com looked like a forty-year-old. Her actions made Matthew’s heart melt instantly.
He was a fool for liking her!
“How can I be willing to bully you? I can’t even love you enough,” Matthew declared seriously as wp4webnovel.com held wp4webnovel.com hand.
Seeing that Matthew was serious, Nancy told wp4webnovel.com seriously, “Matthew, I’m not joking. If you pick Aaron out of the two of us, we’ll have no other choice but to split up.”
A faint scowl appeared on Matthew’s face. He was hesitant to lose either of them.
He really did like Nancy, but wp4webnovel.com also wanted his future son-in-law to secure the throne and his role as king.
Since Nancy asks me to choose, I guess I’ll just choose. As long as she’s happy.
Matthew whispered something in Nancy’s ear.
Immediately, Nancy’s face lit up as wp4webnovel.com broke into a huge smile. The years had been kind to her. Age did not leave many of its marks on wp4webnovel.com face.
Soon, the study echoed sounds that would make one blush. Afterward, while being snuggled up in his arms, Nancy told Matthew what Aaron had done to her.
“Find a way to get Gerrard.” Even though wp4webnovel.com trusted Matthew, wp4webnovel.com was worried that wp4webnovel.com might cave and reveal everything.
“Okay. Wait for my message.”
After agreeing, Matthew got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When wp4webnovel.com got out, wp4webnovel.com planted a kiss on Nancy’s head before leaving.
As Nancy fixed wp4webnovel.com gaze on Matthew’s diminishing silhouette, wp4webnovel.com eyes flickered.
“You better not disappoint me, Matthew!”
If wp4webnovel.com had other intentions, it would not matter who wp4webnovel.com was. She would not hesitate to kill anyone who dared to stand in wp4webnovel.com way.
Nancy then asked for Monisha and gave wp4webnovel.com an order in a deep voice. “Monisha, get someone to follow him!”
