Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Late at night, all of them returned to Peace and Karl’s house after their adventure. Except for Matthew, the kids were all tired and quickly went to bed. At the same time, the adults gathered to talk about their experiences over the past few days

Isabella told them about what she saw while following Maria earlier In brief, “Anyways, Maria met a strange Azul Group employee at the construction site and later collaborated with him to frame Matthew

Tammy and I happened to witness it.”

Peace couldn’t hold back her rage any longer after hearing the story

She slapped the table hard and asked, “Why would Maria do such a thing? Matthew trusted her so much! How could she be so shameless and become a traitor?!”

Then, they turned to look at Matthew, who had remained silent the entire time. Matthew was only sixteen years old, but he possessed the maturity of an adult. At the moment, he was sitting on the sofa with a frown, and he was seemingly lost in thought

Anna’s heart broke when she saw Matthew being like this. She thought, Matthew, you’ve taken on too much responsibility for your age

Right now, your peers are stillin high school. And yet, you have to manage a huge group while youre supposed to be partying with kids at your age

Do you know that that I often wonder why your father would ask you to manage such a large group? Yeah… Sometimes, I even want to scold him for being “an irresponsible father’ But, he’s not the only one to be blamed

for it After all, I’m not a good mother, either

Heaving a long sigh, Anna walked to Matthew’s side, took his hand,

“No, mom. This is not your fault,” Matthew said softly

“But you wouldn’t have believed Maria if I hadn’t arranged for her to be your secretary.”

“It is not your fault, Mom. I should have known she was that type of person. And I should’ve dealt with her a long time ago,” Shaking his head, Matthew said helplessly

with a pout, “Why are you both blaming yourselves? Stop arguing! It’s all Maria’s fault! You should blame her

And somehow, Matthew felt that there was a warm surge occurring in the softest part of her heart, bringing him comfort and warmth. And to him, this cold winter became much warmer becauseTammy
