Chapter 194


    Furthermore, many people had seen Matthewing to talk to me. Brenda’s boisterous behavior and


    lack of substantive evidence also made many distrust her ims.


    “Leave me alone now, Mrs. Loxley. If you hurt me, I’ll hold


    you ountable.”


    “I will shove you and you can’t do anything about it!”


    “Mom, what are you doing?” A loud bellow echoed through the air. Brenda froze in her tracks. Her


    stumpy arms and wing fingers looked ludicrous mid–air.


    I turned around, surprised. Why was Matthew here?


    Leo and Helen slowly guided Matthew to the scene.


    Then, Helen let Leo handle Matthew. She ran toward her mother and dragged her to where she had


    come from. On their way back, they were seen engaging in a hushed conversation.


    Helen’s mother followed her daughter obediently. She too was mortified by what Brenda had done just


    now.


    Matthew leaned against Leo. His haggard countenance suggested that he was still in pain. He looked


    at his mother with a mix of emotions–there was sadness, disappointment, and


    mostly despair.

    After what Brenda had done, he knew that I could never be friends with him anymore. Maybe that was


    why he felt despair.


    Matthew had lost even more weight after a night of hospitalization. His fragile stature swayed left to


    right as if he was about to copse.


    I felt bad. I wanted to offer some words of constion, but I didn’t know what to say. At this point, our


    rtionship was no longer salvageable.


    As no words left my mouth, I fell silent. I wasn’t sure if he had overheard the conversation I had with


    Brenda. I could imagine how devastated he would be if he heard those nasty wordsing from a


    woman he liked.


    However, Brenda left me with no choice.


    She was mean. She made a scene at the college so that I would be regarded as a pariah by my peers.


    I fought back to protect myself. I hoped Matthew could understand my decision.


    He had to navigate through the conflict between his own mother and me. I did not envy his

    position.


    “Matthew, what are you doing here? I’m teaching this slut a lesson. Just go back. There are plenty of


    fish in the sea. She’s dumb enough to have rejected you. I mean, what does she have other than her


    looks? I won’t let her date you even if she pays us!”


    Brenda continued to insult me. Matthew was utterly dejected. I looked away, unable to meet


    his pained expression.


    “Stop it, Mom. I’m begging you. Save our reputation. I’ve been in love with Luna for eight years. I was


    the one who tried to ask her out. I did everything out of my volition. Why must you insult her? Lulu kept


    telling me that we were from different worlds, that our rtionship would not end well.


    “I didn’t believe her at first. I told her that I would be her man and protect her. But look,


    she’s right. What she said is happening. I love her, but I failed to protect her. And the one hurting her is


    my mother. How am I supposed to convince her to love me back now? Go back, Mom. This is ugly as it


    is.”
