Unforgettable love

Chapter 64:

The entire Herbert Family knew that Matthew had called off the engagement to Mary, including Sampson. And Sampson knew from Mary why Matthew had called off the engagement.

So when he saw Matthew, he couldn’t hide the anger in his heart.

His brother Warner, who was sitting next to him, detected his fluctuating emotions. Warner reached out to pat Sampson’s shoulder and said quietly, “If it weren’t for the Herbert Family’s long history, we wouldn’t have made it a long time ago. B-town has changed a lot. You’re not in the county most of the year, and you don’t know what’s going on here. Even though he’s the one who broke the promise this time, we can’t argue with him face to face.”

Sampson was angry not only about the cancellation of the engagement, but also about Dolores.

Six years ago, to help Dolores get rid of Matthew, he took her out of B Town and hid her in A Country.

He thought that with the passage of time, Dolores would accept him someday. And maybe six years would take her away from her short history with Matthew.

But after six years, Dolores still didn’t want to accept him.

And Matthew even called off the engagement to his sister because of Dolores.

How could he be calm?

“You think you can do whatever you want with some money?” Sampson didn’t try to disguise his displeasure and contempt for Matthew.

Sampson’s voice wasn’t low, so Matthew heard what he said. He laid his eyes on Sampson. He remembered that this man was close to Dolores.

He dusted off his collar, trying to wipe away the dust that wasn’t there. He said calmly and quietly, “What did you say? I didn’t hear.”

Warner immediately covered for Sampson, “He called off the engagement with Maria. I was just making a comment about it. Please ignore him.”

As he spoke, Warner dragged his younger brother’s sleeve, asking him to stop talking.

But Sampson didn’t listen to his brother and said without fear in his voice, “As a man, you hurt a woman like that. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”

Warner’s expression changed. He stared at his brother. Did he really want to make an enemy now that Matthew couldn’t be a member of the family?

What good was it to make an enemy of the Nelson Family?

He worked so hard for this family. Sampson never contributed to his family and now he intended to bring trouble?

At that moment, Warner felt very disappointed in his selfish brother who only thought of himself and never thought of his family.

Matthew faked a smile and said in an interesting tone, “I’m just afraid the lightning will strike someone else.”

Sampson clenched his fists. If he wasn’t dragged away by Warner, he might come out fighting with Matthew.

“They’re all in there. You go ahead. My brother has a soft spot for our little sister, who led a vagabond’s life since childhood. So speak before you think. Please don’t listen to him.” Warner smiled at Matthew.

Matthew looked at Sampson blankly and headed down the hall.

Jayden and Landon were sitting on the couch at one end of the hall, talking.

Mary was sitting next to Landon. Her eyes were red. She looked like she had just cried.

Her delicate makeup was a little messy.

Seeing Matthew walk in, Maria quickly stood up, “Matthew…”

Matthew didn’t answer her and sat down on the couch. He struck first to gain the initiative, “I’m the one who wants to call off the engagement. Say what you want.”

Jayden was about to spit blood.

He and Landon had been talking a lot in the living room. They both didn’t want to call off the engagement.

If the two families joined in marriage, they would have a win-win cooperation. It would be good for both the Herbert Family and the Nelson Family.

They would share mutual benefits.

“Matthew, I don’t know how things are between you young people these days. But all of a sudden you want to call off the engagement, is it because Mary did something wrong?” Landon said with a calm expression. His tone was also calm.

He was calmer than his two sons.

Living at this age, he had experienced all kinds of things. So he could keep his cool.

If the Herbert Family yelled at him and accused him, it would be much easier to handle. Matthew was worried about running into a person as experienced as Landon before.

But Matthew was also tough. Although he wasn’t as experienced as Landon, he had also been through a lot. He had been trained by overcoming many obstacles and challenges. So he didn’t seem weak: “I don’t like people lying to me.”

Hearing this, Landon sensed something was wrong. So did his daughter really do something wrong?

Matthew didn’t want to bring up the past and just wanted to solve the problem in front of him.

“I’m the one who was reckless in this matter. I shouldn’t have agreed and then broken the promise. I can make it up to them with whatever they want. As long as I can afford it, I won’t be stingy.”

“I disagree.” Before Landon opened his mouth, Maria could no longer remain silent.

She glared at Matthew, “I’m turning 28 this year. I gave you my youth. And now you want to abandon me. You want me to take my life?”.

It was because of this that Matthew felt responsible for her. Or according to his personality, knowing that Mary had lied to him, he would have broken off all relations with her immediately.

“I told you I could make it up to you with whatever you wanted.” Matthew knew he had been wrong.

Just like what Sampson had said before him, did he think he could do whatever he wanted with money?

But what had happened, had happened. He had no other options.

“Easy.” Sampson walked in and took his little sister, who was trembling, in his arms.

He stared at Matthew and asked, “Make up for it? What can you do to make it up to her?”

Matthew stared back, “What do you want?”noveldrama

Their eyes met in the air. It was a silent confrontation. And murderous intent could be smelled in the air.

They were from two noble families. If the Herbert Family asked for money as compensation, it would be the cheapest action. Not only would their friendship be damaged, but they would also become estranged.

In fact, if the Herbert Family were to ask for anything today, when the news spread, it would not reflect well on them.

“I want your life, will you give it to me?” Maria shouted uncontrollably.

Everyone present was shocked.

“What kind of nonsense are you talking?” Although Landon scolded his daughter, the truth was that he wanted to see what Matthew would do to solve this problem.

Earlier he had said yes to this engagement and now he wanted to break the promise. Of course Landon was unhappy about it.

Although he didn’t show discontent on his face, it didn’t mean he didn’t care inside.

Jayden’s expression darkened. He was happy with Mary before, but now the discontent was growing on him.

Even though he didn’t want Matthew to call off the engagement, he was still her son.

And now he dared to make such an outlandish request.

But Matthew kept his cool. He stood up. His long fingers unbuttoned his suit.

He rolled up his sleeve and showed his sturdy arm.

Jayden cried out in nervousness, “What are you doing?”

Mary froze already, “Ma…Matthew…”

Matthew bent down to pick up the fruit knife from the fruit plate and approached Mary.

Sampson was scared too and hugged his sister tightly.

He was afraid Matthew would hurt his little sister.

Matthew pushed Sampson away and looked at Maria, “If this is what you want, I’ll give it to you.”

He bent down to put the knife in Maria’s hand and grabbed her hand to put the knife against her chest.

Maria was scared. She was really scared.

She kept shaking her head, “I…I didn’t want…I don’t want you to die…..”

Matthew smiled, “I haven’t owed anyone anything in my whole life. But I owe it to you. If you want my life, I’ll give it to you. But from now on, we owe each other nothing…”

As he spoke, he exerted force on his hand.

“Ah!”

Maria wanted to pull away, but Matthew was too strong. His hand held hers tightly and she couldn’t break free.

The sharp knife pierced her white shirt and dug into her flesh. Red blood spurted out.

What Matthew did was beyond everyone’s expectations.

He dared to…

Take his own life!

“No… no… I didn’t…” Mary’s face was covered with tears.

Matthew held out another hand to wipe the tears from her expensive face, “That year I was 14 years old and I was kidnapped on a mountain. I was accidentally saved by a girl who was only ten years old. I later learned that this girl was an orphan. So I sponsored her to study at the university. After her graduation, she followed me. We were on a business trip and I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. It was she who saved me…”

Her eyes and actions were so soft and gentle. She looked like she was polishing something precious.

“I have failed you. You want my life, and now I will give it to you. From now on, we owe each other nothing.”
