The two were fully captivated by their new laptops. They felt that Matthew was generous, as all the gifts he prepared for

the annual dinner were expensive. Hence, they decided to let him off for now

Antony lifted his head, smiling faintly. “Mommy, we know that you’re busy with work. We understand.”

With that said, he kept his laptop and glanced at the time. “Mommy, we’re going to Great–grandpa’s home to celebrate the

New Year together. Mr. Dominic is almost here.”

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. “What?”

She did not mention that she would return to the Wade residence for the New Year. Instead, she intended to go to the

Hilton residence, as she wanted to celebrate the New Year with Matthew.

Just then, her phone started ringing. As soon as she noticed that it was Michael calling, she frowned.

Didn’t Grandpa say I could go home the next day after the New Year? That was why I accepted Old Mrs. Hilton’s

invitation

Left with no choice, Elizabeth picked up the call helplessly. “Grandpa.”

“Lizzy, come back and celebrate the New Year with us. I miss you so much.”

Elizabeth could tell from Michael’s voice that he was excited. However, she was in a dilemma. “Grandpa, c–can I come

home on the day after the New Year?”

Michael glanced at Richard, who was standing at the side. It’s rare for this brat to think of Lizzy. He even asked me to

invite Elizabeth home to celebrate the New Year together.

“Lizzy, can you come back now? You had been staying outside all these years, so I couldn’t even enjoy the New Year well. This year, you’ve come home. I’m finally relieved.”

Michael was telling the truth. He did not know what the others in the family felt over those six years. However, he missed Elizabeth more during the New Year. After all, he had loved and doted on her with all his heart since she was young. Hence, he felt that something was missing without her by his side.

Elizabeth listened to what Michael said silently. She could not bring herself to reject him, so she answered, “Okay,

Grandpa.”

Right then, Cody opened the door..

Dominic walked into the house in a dark blue suit. As he strode toward the living room, he exuded a dignified, majestic

aura around him.

Antony and Arthur exchanged glances before standing up in unison. “Mr. Dominic, you’re here.”

It was evident that both of them were over–friendly when they saw Dominic. Usually, they would not even act like that.

Elizabeth knitted her brows, thinking. She assumed that Matthew was the reason why they were especially friendly with

Elizabeth

Dominic

Matthew, who was sitting and chatting with Abby, stood up emotionlessly

An arrogant look crept over his face as he strode toward Elizabeth. Reaching out a hand, he pulled her into his arms.

“Lizzy, it’s almost time.”

Elizabeth knitted her brows hard. With an apologetic look, she dragged Matthew into the study on the first floor. After closing the door, she hugged Matthew and said coyly, “Matthew, I can’t go to your house to celebrate the New Year. I have to go home and accompany my grandpa. Don’t be angry with me, okay? I’ll come home earlier tonight and spend time with

you.”

Matthew’s expression turned grim as he reached out his long, slender fingers to pinch her chin. His eyes were dark and

terrifying You decided to stand me up because of Dominic?”

There was no trace of emotion in his icy–cold voice. Elizabeth stared intently at him with her big, round eyes. Looking innocent, she explained, “It’s not like that. My grandpa called me and asked me to go home to celebrate the New Year with him. He’s old now. As he said, he lost a year with every passing year. Hence, he was afraid that he might not be able to wait until next year anymore. I feel like going home to spend some time with him upon hearing what he said.”

Matthew had never asked her about her family and their affairs. Now that he heard what she said, he felt his heart soften.

Lowering his head, he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her domineeringly.

After some time, the moaned as she was short of breath. Hearing that, Matthew let go of her slowly.

Elizabeth could finally breathe again. She came back to her senses in an instant. However, she had no strength left in her body, so she leaned against him and panted heavily, attempting to catch her breath..

Matthew said coldly, “You can go home and accompany your grandpa. But then, you have to bring me along.”

Elizabeth was taken aback by his words. Startled, she lifted her head abruptly. “Matthew, I can’t bring you home for now. Can we talk about this some time later? There are some things I haven’t explained to my family yet. It’s not appropriate for

you to come with me.”

Grandpa has assumed that Dominic is the father of my three kids now. If Matthew appears out of the blue now, what will Grandpa think? He’ll definitely be so disappointed in me. Perhaps he’ll chase me out of the house again!

Elizabeth dared not think about the consequences.
