Chapter 331 Matthew Tells Her to Get Lost

Everyone refused to let Matthew off. Veronica was too nervous to breathe. Standing there quietly, she watched the situation develop while looking for an opportunity to help Matthew. “That’s right. Matthew, Grandma is right. You should find a woman and get married to her,” she reminded him indirectly.

As things stood, he could now propose getting engaged to a woman and take his time with the proposal of marriage later. Even if he were to announce to everyone right now that he wanted to marry her, she wouldn’t turn him down. She would at least accept his proposal to stabilize the situation first.

However, the situation didn’t develop as she had expected. Just as she was secretly praying for Matthew to agree to this, she heard him say, “Sorry, but I can’t do as you say.”

“You…” Veronica was speechless for a moment. However, she dared not speak much on such an occasion. She dug her teeth into her lips, feeling as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. How could he be so foolish? Did he really refuse Grandma’s demands for my sake because I told him that instead of getting married right now, I wanted to strive for opportunities to make myself strong enough to be his match before marrying him?

In the past, she would only remember the despicable things Matthew had done. But now, she saw in him the willingness and courage to take responsibility for everything all by himself, which were sufficient to prove his over-indulgent love for her. As a result, she was both incredibly moved and guilt-ridden. For an instant, she even wanted to come forward and tell everyone right away that the ‘young man’ was actually her.

“How impudent!” Elizabeth flushed angrily. Immediately, she stood up and pointed at Matthew, saying, “Either you marry a woman right now or get out of the Kings Family!” With that, she left him no room for maneuver.

Everyone at the scene could tell from her words that she was giving Matthew a chance… But he didn’t cherish it. “Grandma, I’ve got no problem marrying a woman—but not now,” he replied. Roni promised to marry me a few years later. I can wait that long.

Elizabeth nodded. “So you’re not gonna listen to me anymore, huh?” She was so furious that her hand that was pointing at Matthew trembled.

Standing next to Elizabeth, Yura immediately tried to soothe her, saying, “Please calm down, Old Mrs. Kings. Don’t get angry, you—”
