For as long as she could remember, Mary and Brantlee's father had always been a couple, but because she was born really pretty, she had always looked down upon Brantlee's father.
Saoirse had heard in the past that the reason Mary had married Brantlee's father was because Mary's father had been heavily in debt. And during those days, Brantlee's father was wealthy hence Mary married him so he would help her pay off all of her father's debts.
Brantlee continued, "When my dad was alive, he treated my mother very well. Everyday he would help wash my mom's feet. Even the water she drank was served by my dad. But mother was never grateful and even said that he was a good-for-nothing. Until he passed away, no one treated her as a queen anymore." Brantlee paused and said helplessly, "Mother beccrazy. She didn't react much on the first day my dad left. After a week of my dad's passing, she locked herself in her room and cried every day. It took her a long tto be able to walk out of that dark place again." Saoirse did not expect that so many things had happened. She sighed and said, "Aunt Mary was a lucky woman. She found a man who treated her so well." "But my mother wasn't grateful when my dad was alive. She always felt that my dad was a disappointment and looked down on my dad." Saoirse put on a bitter smile and said, "In fact, it's most important for a woman to find a man who knows her well and cares about her for the rest of her life." Brantlee suddenly stared at Saoirse, "What about you, Saoirse? Does your husband treat you this way?" Saoirse was stunned.
Seconds later, she stood up, "Brantlee, I'll head back first." Brantlee didn't send her home.
When Saoirse returned, she saw that Matthew was on the phone.
His voice was very gentle. The smile on his lips was faint but charming, and even his eyes were sparkling.
Saoirse stood still as she stared at him.
Both William and her were never like this when they chatted.
She knew that William was on the phone with Selina.
Saoirse felt her heart ache when she witnessed the scene, but at the stime, something cinto her mind. She thought of what Brantlee had said.
She recalled what she had heard from Brantlee after he told her about his parents' love story.
"In fact, it's most important for a woman to find a man who knows her well and cares about her for the rest of her life." This was her biggest problem.
Why couldn't she do it? She clearly knew that William didn't have her in his heart, but she still chose to involve herself with him.
At that moment, her head felt as if it was going to explode soon and her ears were full of buzzing sounds.
She felt like her world had started to slowly collapse.
William had always been by her side, but his heart had never been with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen why did she continue to do it? Saoirse did not have the answer to it either.
Perhaps there wasn't an answer after all.
Half a month had passed.
Since Matthew left Agaphen City, there were rumors about him. He couldn't stand the repercussions of those rumors despite him not being in Agaphen City anymore.
At this moment, the Perry Group was also in imminent danger.
Fortunately, Tobias was there to help him.
That day, Selina had visited Yesseca's residence again.
There was still no news about Lothar.
Yesseca was simple- minded. She remembered the twhen Sierra mentioned that there was no signal at sea which made her think that it was normal to not be able to contact Lothar. She even comforted Selina and told her not to worry.
However, Selina felt that the explanation was slightly suspicious.
She understood Lothar.
Lothar was a man with a strong sense of responsibility.
It was proven by the way he had raised Yesseca after his mother's passing.
It wasn't a big deal that Lothar didn't contact her, but having not contacted Yesseca for such a long time, this was what made Selina suspicious.
Selina had asked Yesseca if she knew where Lothar's company was.
But Yesseca hadn't the slightest idea at all.
She only said that Lothar's last phone call to her was to tell her that he would be heading out to sea. After that, he did not contact her anymore. Sudden thoughts flashed across Selina's fair face.
"By the way, did Lothar take anything with him when he left?" Selina asked.
Yesseca shook her head, "He didn't bring anything with him. He didn't even bring his identity card." Yesseca didn't know a lot of things because she had been in the hospital for quite stime, but she didn't know that Selina knew sthings.
After she heard Yesseca's words, Selina becmore confused.
Lothar had gone out to sea for so long, why would he not bring his identity card? "Yesseca, get your brother's ID card right now," Selina said hurriedly.
Yesseca didn't understand Selina's words, but she still went to get it.
Selina took a glance, and it was indeed Lothar's ID card, and it had not expired yet.
Selina's heart sank.
She had a feeling that her fear had turned into reality.
When Yesseca saw Selina's expression, she didn't think too much about it in the beginning. Then she asked uneasily, "Miss Whitlock, did something happen to my brother?" Selina collected back her thoughts.
She tried to smile as she said, "What could happen? Your brother is fine. Nothing is wrong!" Yesseca felt relieved.
"Yesseca, I still have something to do and I'll see you next time," Selina said to Yesseca. Yesseca nodded.
When Selina left the Cowell family home, she immediately called Tobias Her tone was very uneasy, "Tobias, helpfind out about this person's whereabouts.
Immediately!" Saoirse's appearance worsened because she took the medication.
She also spent less twith Matthew, and more twith Brantlee.
In the beginning, Mary tried to advise Brantlee about Saoirse, but it was no use and over tMary gave up. Since Saoirse's husband did not care about Saoirse hanging out with other men, so why should Mary bother either? After all, Saoirse and Brantlee were only chatting. They had never done anything inappropriate.
Matthew had witnessed all of this.
Later that afternoon, Saoirse went to find Brantlee again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, Matthew had a lot of free time.
He usually spent his tdealing with work and stayed in contact with Selina.
Although he was not physically there at the Perry Group, he was still well aware of the progress of the Perry Group. Even with Tobias's assistance, Matthew still had a lot of work to do.
Matthew had appointed Tobias to assist him in the company.
Then, after he had completed the last of the tasks that were at hand, Matthew called Selina.
It seemed that Selina had a lot of things on her mind.
Matthew noticed it.
"Selina, what's the matter? Is there something on your mind?" Matthew asked.
Selina was silent for a moment.
Matthew was somewhere else and could not help with Lothar's matter. Selina hesitated on whether to let Matthew know about it or not.
On the other side, Matthew spoke
again, "Selina, promise you that although Saoirse and have been in Germany for almost half a month, we didn't do anything indecent. Saoirse did not want to tell her
family members about her illness, so it may take a little longer as we need to find a donor with the suitable bone marrow, but I will find that donor as soon as possible. And now, Saoirse..." Matthew paused, "Maybe Saoirse has met a new interest." Matthew was a keen observer. He had personally witnessed Brantlee's intentions towards Saoirse.
As for Saoirse, it was impossible for her to fall in love with someone else so easily.
However, she was very dependent on Brantlee.
The change in her appearance had led to a great change in her mindset. Right now, she relied on Brantlee as her support system.
This type of dependence would easily lead to a qualitative change.
Selina was stunned.
"Is that even possible?" Selina blurted out.
In just half a month, Saoirse had turned from a desperate girl who only had eyes for Matthew to a person who might have a new interest. Selina could not believe it. Ads by Pubfuture
