Tantrum

Peter turned to face Anna and said, “Oh, well, I won’t make you stay at my house anymore. So, will you come back and cook for Matthew tonight?”

Anna nodded, and then lowered her head to make herself look less embarrassed. She said, “Well, Tammy, let’s go.”

At that exact moment, Matthew stretched out and grabbed Anna’s blouse. He yelled, “Mommy!” as if he were going to cry

Everyone at the table froze except Wayne, who remained motionless.

Matthew rarely called Anna “Mommy” in front of others but did it so frequently in front of Wayne.

Wayne did nothing and simply waited to see how Anna would react.

“Matthew, do you think you can just call a random woman ‘mommy’ like that?” Peter asked him indifferently

At the same time, Matthew appeared depressed. He yanked on Anna’s shirt, unable to accept that she was leaving

Because he was grasping her shirt so firmly, his hands were already red, Matthew screamed, “No, I want my mommy! Don’t let my mommy leave me!”

All those who were present became flustered, and the servants looked at each other in surprise.

“Come on now, Matthew.” Anna forced herself to say it. She prayed that she could whisk Matthew away from this place for good right now.

Even though Anna was sure she would be rejected, she requested, “Can Matthew stay at my house for a few days?”

Peter responded coldly, as Anna had predicted, “No way!” Hearing his words, Matthew cried even louder. Immediately, Peter yelled angrily at Wayne, “Hey! Why don’t you do something, Wayne?” Hearing that, Wayne still did nothing. He simply sat in his seat, his face expressionless.

Then, indifferently, he replied, “No, I can’t help you. You know that once Matthew begins to cry, no one can stop him.”

“Are you trying to make me furious on purpose?” Peter asked, his face flushed with rage. He immediately approached Anna, grabbed Matthew’s arm, and yanked him away from her.

Although Anna was reluctant to leave, she had to bite the bullet and walk away.

She looked back before departing with Matthew. When she saw Matthew crying, and on the verge of choking, she was heartbroken.

Then she drove away from the gate and then determined to leave this place.

Anna heard Tammy crying in the backseat and asking, “Mom, Matthew is crying! Do we have to leave him?”

Anna still looked ahead after hearing her words, and she grabbed the driving wheel more tightly

She replied, “No, I don’t want to leave him. But my love, there’s nothing I can do now. The lawyer your father hired will arrive in England soon. After seeing him, I will try my best to get your brother back to us.”

Tammy blinked her reddening eyes, sniffled, and inquired, “Why am I with you, Mommy? Why did Matthew grow up around Wayne? Mommy, is it because you abandoned him when he was little?”

Tammy assumed Matthew was Jasper and Anna’s child, but he was sent away for unknown reasons.
