Lucia frowned.


    “Could it be that Ste doesn’t want to see me?”


    Matthew mulled over what to say before he finally gave in.


    “It’s not that, Grandma.


    I’ll ask Ste to pay you a visit, but I have a request.


    ”


    His voice sounded especially loud in the quiet ward.


    Lucia’s tone softened.


    “What request?”


    “I can’t be present when Stees to see you,” said Matthew, looking at his grandmother warily.


    Lucia asked in confusion, “And why is that?”


    It took Matthew another minute before he finally opened up about his marital woes.


    “ALL in all, I thought she cheated on me behind my back.


    But it was a misunderstanding.


    ”


    The moment he finished narrating, Lucia raised her hand and smacked him in the arm.


    She shouted angrily, “You foolish boy! I specially chose Ste for you.


    Did it ever ur to you that I know exactly what kind of person she is? How can you make her go through all that just because of some silly assumptions? As if that wasn’t enough…”


    Lucia was about to explode, so she took a deep breath before continuing, “You kept hounding her for a divorce! If Ste finds out about what you think of her, I won’t speak for you! You made your bed, so lie on it.


    I don’t care how you do it.


    Just get her back.


    Otherwise, you won’t Like to see the other side of me!”

    Matthew stayed silent and didn’t move a muscle.


    He felt like he deserved all the shouts and hits, so he didn’t retort now.


    “I have realized my wrongs, Grandma.


    From now on, I’ll try to make it up to Ste,” he said sincerely.


    Lucia red at him and insisted, “No cking.


    You need to act fast!”


    “I know.


    ” Matthew Lowered his head.


    When Lucia saw that he was serious, she didn’t have the heart to continue scolding him.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    She sighed again and asked, “So what’s your next Line of action? You can’t continue to keep her in the dark.


    It might cause more problems for your marriage.


    ”


    Matthew confessed, “Yeah, I know, but I can’t just hit her with the news.


    I intend to test the waters first and take things one step at a time.


    ” He finally raised his head and looked at Lucia with pleading eyes.


    “That’s why I need you to cover for me.


    ”


    Lucia patted his hand heavily and said, “I’ll help you this time.


    If you fail to win Ste over, I’ll adopt her as my granddaughter and get her a better man who would treat her like a queen.


    I should have known that she was too good for you.
