Chapter 71 A Test


    “Elizabeth, Nics didn’t die. He was trying to scare you.”


    He then pulled out his phone to give Nics a call. Soon, the call connected.


    “Matt, you miss me already?” Nics’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 eximed.


    It was obvious to Nics that Matthew wasforting his girlfriend


    “Lizzy, you made me so miserable today. I was as hard as a stone! I’ve sessfully scared


    you, so we’re even now,” Nics 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.


    Nics was taken aback. “Uh, no. You’re really naive, Lizzy. Don’t you know what I


    mean?”


    With that, he burst outughing. “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 rxed visibly. “I’m d 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 ept it if it was within her ability.


    ncing at the door, Elizabeth asked out of courtesy, “Matthew, would you like toe


    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 shed 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!”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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 homete!


    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 porcin cup. Not far away, he saw four


    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.
