Chapter 1267

โ€œMiss me very much?โ€ I chuckled, unable to resist asking, โ€œDoes Mr. Galatea still remember a woman named Ceceliaโ€ฆโ€

Before I could finish speaking, I instantly felt a heaviness in the air on the other end of the phone.

Even through the phone, I could almost feel the chill in Matthewโ€™s breath.

He fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled softly, a chuckle that sent shivers down oneโ€™s spine.

โ€œIt seems that Ms. Duffy has investigated me a lot. I advise Ms. Duffy that it would be best not to mention that name in front of me again.โ€

The feeling Matthew gave me was arrogant, domineering, and vicious.

This was the first time I felt a chill from his laughter. Just listening to his voice sent a shiver down my spine.

โ€œCeceliaโ€ was the name of the woman Reynaldo mentioned that day. So it can be seen that this โ€˜Ceceliaโ€™ was really special to Matthew. I wish that woman were still alive.

After a brief silence, Matthew suddenly laughed again. The laughter was gone; the chill from earlier replaced by a thick sense of threat.

He smiled at me and asked, โ€œMs. Duffy, are your two lovely children okay?โ€

He didnโ€™t wait for me to answer. He laughed again and said, โ€œActually, my pet really likes children. If your two children had spent more time with my pet, maybe they would have liked my pet too. So, do you want me to let my pet play with your child again?โ€

Look, he was threatening me again with Essie and Roddy.

When the opportunity presented itself, I spoke up, โ€œAlright, Matthew, I agree to come out and see you, but you canโ€™t have any more ideas about my child.โ€

โ€œHehe, look at what Ms. Duffy said. I, Matthew, have said many times that my principle is not to harm children. Why doesnโ€™t Ms. Duffy believe it?โ€

โ€œStop talking big,โ€ I said indignantly. โ€œYou wonโ€™t hurt children yourself, but you will use Tibetan mastiffs to scare them. My daughter was scared by your so-called pet and even got a high fever. Itโ€™s a wonder Mr. Galatea can still say with a straight face that principles donโ€™t apply to children. Are you feeling nauseous?โ€

Matthew chuckled over there, โ€œNo way, itโ€™s just that Ms. Duffy is too hard to make plans with. Speaking of which, this was also forced by Ms. Duffy.โ€

I sarcastically pursed my lips, โ€œMatthew sure can talk.โ€

I coldly said, โ€œYou can come out to meet me, but I will choose the location, and I will bring bodyguards. Who knows what you might do to me?โ€

Matthew chuckled, โ€œOkay.โ€

I didnโ€™t say anything else; I just hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, but unconsciously thought of Matthewโ€™s reaction when I mentioned โ€œCeceliaโ€ just now.

Itโ€™s rare that someone like Matthew, who has no emotions, would actually care about a woman.

Lost in thought, Reynaldo suddenly walked in.

Seeing me staring at my phone, he walked over and ruffled my hair, asking with a soft laugh, โ€œWhat are you thinking about?โ€

I shook my head.

After a while, I looked up at him and asked, โ€œHow did Cecelia die?โ€

Reynaldo hesitated for a moment and asked me, โ€œWhy are you suddenly asking about this?โ€

โ€œThere was noโ€ฆโ€ Thinking about Matthewโ€™s coldness just now, I whispered, โ€œI just find it strange that since Matthew cares so much about that woman, how could he bear to let that woman die? I felt that with his power and arrogant personality, he should be able to protect the people he cares about.โ€
