Chapter 71 A Test
“Elizabeth, Nicolas didn’t die. He was trying to scare you.”
He then pulled out his phone to give Nicolas a call. Soon, the call connected.
“Matt, you miss me already?” Nicolas’s flirtatious voice rang out.
Elizabeth recognized his voice, and her
eyes
lit up.
“Mr. Ferguson, you’re still alive! Oh, that’s great!” she exclaimed.
It was obvious to Nicolas that Matthew was comforting his girlfriend
“Lizzy, you made me so miserable today. I was as hard as a stone! I’ve successfully scared
you, so we’re even now,” Nicolas responded.
Elizabeth didn’t understand what he meant. “Stone? Did that medicine make your body
hard?”
Matthew narrowed his eyes as a dangerous smile flitted across his lips.
Nicolas was taken aback. “Uh, no. You’re really naive, Lizzy. Don’t you know what I
mean?”
With that, he burst out laughing. “Matt, you’ll have to teach her well.”
Matthew was surprised, too. Didn’t she give birth to triplets? She must’ve experienced it
before. I don’t think she’s that clueless. Is she putting up an act? It doesn’t seem like it, though.
“I’m hanging up. Don’t scare her again,” he ordered icily before cutting the line.
Turning to Elizabeth, he asked, “Do you believe me now?”
Elizabeth had relaxed visibly. “I’m glad he’s still alive. Otherwise…”
She wouldn’t dare to do that again. Even if she was offered a high-paying job, she would
only accept it if it was within her ability.
Glancing at the door, Elizabeth asked out of courtesy, “Matthew, would you like to come
Int
Assuming his answer would be no, she turned to push the door open.
To her surprise, Matthew responded, “Sure. I’m starving.”
It was already past dinnertime by then.
Surprise flashed across Elizabeth’s eyes, I can’t believe he said yes. Since he helped me out
today, I should treat him to dinner.
Matthew alighted from his car and followed her into the house.
The kids dashed out excitedly to greet her. “Lizzy!”
Abby leaped into her arms. “How was your first day at work? Are you tired?”
Concern was written all over the little girl’s face. The boys also waited eagerly for her
answer.
Elizabeth managed a smile. “Everything went smoothly, and I’m not tired at all. Let’s head in.
It’s chilly out here.”
No matter how much she suffered or what she experienced in the outside world, she’d filter
out the bad things and mention only the good news to the kids back home.
Matthew realized she was a different person when with her children. She was more mature
and steady now.
Perhaps it’s the power of a mother’s love!
After spotting Matthew, Abby giggled happily. “Mr. Handsome, you’re here!”
She then cast a look at her mother that seemed to say, Oh, you went out on a date with Mr.
Handsome. No wonder you came back home late!
They headed into the house. Elizabeth then poured Matthew a cup of warm water.
“Have a seat, Matthew. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Elizabeth went into the kitchen to ask Cody to prepare a few more dishes, She remembered
how picky Matthew was.
She then headed upstairs to take a shower. After today’s events, she was all stinky and
sweaty.
In the living room, Matthew took one look at his porcelain cup. Not far away, he saw four All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
cups lined up beside the water dispenser.
On each cup was a photo of the owner of the cup. It was clear which cup belonged to
whom.
Antony and Arthur shared a look before trotting into the kitchen to get a bottle of liquor. They
then poured the contents of the bottle into a water bottle.
The boys were smart enough to know only drunk men would be honest. Thus, anyone who
wanted to be their daddy would have to pass this test.
