Chapter 1277


    Lucinda''s breath stopped.


    "Matheo, what did you just say?!"


    Matheo gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, let me be honest and tell you everything. Rainee found herself a boyfriend, and she got pregnant by ident. Rainee was afraid that she would be scolded by you and dad, so she deliberately dragged Matthew into this mess. That''s what happened. The child in Rainee''s belly has nothing to do with Matthew!"


    Lucinda''s rage was thundering.


    She stared at Rainee and growled, "Is Matthew the father of the child in your belly?"


    Rainee persisted in her answer and said, "Mom, the child in my belly really belongs to Matthew!"


    "Do a blood test and verify who the father is then!"


    "No, mom, I don''t want to. I''m afraid of pain. I''ll faint when I see blood!"


    Lucinda had managed to more or less calm herself down a little, at this moment.


    She took Rainee''s hand and said, "You, go back home. My reputation is going to suffer because of you."


    Lucinda dragged Rainee, who was crying and howling, out of the Perry family house.


    Several of Lucinda''s friends slowly slipped out of the house.


    "Matthew, Mr. Ludwik, sorry to bring you trouble." Matheo was the one who stayed atst, to deal with the other problems.


    He bowed and apologized to both Matthew and Ludwik.


    He then apologized to Selina, "Miss Whitlock, I''m sorry we''ve troubled you."


    Selina snorted and said nothing.


    Matthew patted Matheo''s shoulder and said, "Your family is probably now in chaos. Head back and deal with it."


    After Matheo left, Ludwik sighed. "What''s going on? I remember meeting Rainee few years ago, and she was still a demure, meek, good girl. But, now, she seems to have gone wild and crazy."


    Matthew pursed his lips.


    Ludwik''s gaze swept across Selina. "Last time, she clearly came over as Dn''s girlfriend, and now it''s all changed."


    Ludwick voice was soft as if he was talking to himself, but at the same time, it was audible to the people around him.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Selina finally opened her mouth to speak, "Mr. Ludwik, I was indeed originally Dn''s girlfriend but now I''ve broken up with Dn. Everything with Dn is now in the past. I hope you can understand."


    Ludwik''s eyes darkened.


    Matthew looked straight at Ludwik. "Dad, Selina is talking to you. You have to understand, even if you don''t want to."


    Ludwik was at a loss of words.


    He helplessly nced at Matthew and said, "Well, well, I can''t do anything with you, my son. I understand everything, what else can I do if I don''t understand?! Anyways, it''s gettingte, you should go to bed early."


    Saying that, Ludwik headed upstairs.


    Matthew and Selina exchanged a nce.


    Selina shook her head and said, "What a scene."


    "It''s fine. It''s now all in the past."


    Selina nodded. "Why didn''t you say at the beginning that you had a friend who could do the DNA test? Why spend so much time rambling on with Rainee?"


    Matthew''s ck eyes shone with wisdom. "All things takes time and nning, Selina. Things won''t be sessful if you attempt to just break it through at once. My conversation with Rainee was to nt suspicion in everyone''s minds, so then when Rainee refused to do the DNA test that I asked for, people would have known and understood the answer."


    Realization dawned on Selina.


    She sighed with amazement at Matthew''s wisdom and wit.


    "Let''s rest," Selina suggested.


    They entered the bedroom, but Matthew did not change his clothes.


    "Why don''t you sleep?" Selina was already lying on the bed.


    "I''ll talk to my father. If I don''t, he will probably have a sleepless night tonight," Matthew said.


    Selina understood why Matthew wanted to do so.


    It would have been a shock to anybody to see their grandson''s girlfriend change to being their son''s girlfriend.


    Ludwik''s reaction, had been in fact, very calm.


    "Okay. Have a good talk with your dad."


    Matthew kissed Selina on her forehead. "Good night, my little girl."


    "Good night." Selina sweetly smiled at Matthew.


    Selina felt that in her heart she understood lots of things after tonight''s incident, and after listening to Matthew''s words.


    She felt that Matthew was indeed a smart man, for being able to solve Saoirse''s issue, and had nned things one step at a time instead of breaking it all out.


    After a while, Matthew knocked on the door of Ludwik''s bedroom.


    "Come in, the door is unlocked." Ludwik''s voice was heard immediately.


    Matthew pushed the door open and walked in. Ludwik was leaning against the bed while wearing a pair of sses. He had a thick book in his hand. "Dad, you''re still reading at thiste hour?" Matthew asked casually.


    Ludwik gave a "hmph" and replied, "I didn''t want to read, but could I not with everything that happened today? Do you think I am able to sleep, after everything?"


    Rainee''s incident had caused a


    ruckus for Matthew, and coupled with the fact that Selina was his girlfriend now, made it a snowball of issues for Ludwik. Ludwik feltplicated feelings, seeing how his grandson''s girlfriend was now his


    son''s girlfriend.


    His grandson and son were both his flesh and blood. Which one should he abandon? Ludwik contemted over it, troubled.


    Matthew smiled.


    He reached out his long arms and took the book from Ludwik''s hand.


    Ludwik was still unhappy. "What are you doing with my book?"


    "I want to talk with you. We should have a good talk, and naturally you cannot be distracted with reading," Matthew said in an as-a-matter-of-fact way.


    "Are we going to talk for a whole night? That is impossible. I will continue reading after our talk."


    "You''ll go to bed after our talk. You''re so old in age you should sleep early if you want to live a little longer, right?"


    Ludwik was at a loss for words.


    He snorted heavily. "If I can''t live long, that''s because of you."


    "Dad, you have a loyal son."


    Matthew''s words made Ludwik feel much morefortable in his heart.


    Ludwik admitted that Matthew may have talked back to him all this time, but he was a loyal son who carried out his duties well.


    "Matthew, what exactly is it that you want to talk about?" Ludwik quickly got to the heart of the


    matter.


    "Dad, you seemed to have had a girlfriend before mother," Matthew said.


    Ludwik was silent.


    He blushed and said, "How did you know that?"


    "Because I peeked into your diary when I was a child."


    Ludwik was speechless.


    He felt a little awkward and said, "That''s normal. Who can guarantee that you will just fall in love once in your life, and meet your true love then? Whatever it was, I still love your mom the most, that is unquestionable."


    "Yes, who can guarantee that you will only fall in love once in your life?" Matthew said meaningfully.


    Ludwik immediately understood what Matthew meant.


    "How dare you trick me with my words!"
