Chapter 37 Missed Again.
Hearing Patricia’s words, Benjamin became serious and said, “Nope, I will protect you.”
Patricia smiled and nodded., “Well, it’s my baby that protects me!”
At that time, a Lincoln Limousine stopped along the road. One of the windows opened gradually.
Through the window appeared the face of Matthew and another cold but perfect man’s face.
Matthew sat close to the window so that he saw the baby held by Patricia. He was in a daze. The baby
was having a face-to-face embrace with Patricia, so he could see his back only.
Sitting beside Matthew, Archibald was absorbed in the file and didn’t pay any attention to Patricia.
“Hello, Matthew,” Patricia greeted simply with her head nodded. Matthew nodded back in silence and
then looked at the kid that Patricia was holding. “The kid is...”
Patricia looked at Matthew with smile and said, “It’s my son.”
She seemed not worried about her words, or the possibility that she might lose her job because of it.
Matthew went blank for a moment, as if he didn’t understand her words. In a minute, the car window
was closed and then the car disappeared from Patricia’s view. Matthew turned to Archibald and said,
“Why do you drive away?”
Archibald put down his file and raised his eyes with coldness. He stared at Matthew and said,
“According to what you have told me, I think that woman is bad. You have seen that she has a baby.
So, she must need a husband to share her burden. Given her behaviour and response in the company,
it’s apparent that she wants you to share the burden. Do you understand?”
Archibald didn’t know why he was familiar with the woman’s voice outside the car just now. But he had
heard a lot of things about that woman from Matthew. He was sure that the woman had a strong desire
for material good and vanity. She was cunning. That kind of woman was the very last type he liked. So,
he didn’t raise his eyes to look at the woman.
The sudden leave of the car made Patricia confused. Suddenly, she covered her heart with her hands,
feeling as if her heart was filled with emptiness. She had caught a sight of that man’s side face, and
wondered who the man was.
“Mom, what’s up? Are you feeling OK?” Benjamin was worried about Patricia when he saw her
covering her heart suddenly. Patricia shook her head slightly and after a moment, that feeling
disappeared.
She said, “Take it easy. I am fine.”
On the other hand, Karina who was locked up by her parents and Dustin was released eventually. She
ran to a window and found that Patricia and Miranda had disappeared. Suddenly, she got worried about
Patricia. She started to search for her phone but failed.
“Are you searching for it?” Behind Karina, Dustin asked unstably holding her smart phone. Karina
startled into silence and then frowned. “Dustin, are you drunk again?”
Dustin was in a daze and then sighed slightly. He said in frustration, “Patricia reminded me of Lydia. I
have made a promise with Lydia that we will stay together forever. But now, she married someone else.
They even have a son now.”
“I am not ready for the fact. I will never accept the fact! I love her so much. Why can’t she be my wife?
Archibald has no merits except being rich.” Then, he picked up the wine bottle and pulled it into his Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
mouth.
Karina was worried about him, but she didn’t know how to comfort him. She was about to seize his
bottle but failed due to limited strength.
“Dustin, stop! Don’t drink anymore. Your stomach is bleeding. Please stop.”
With a thump, the alcohol bottle fell onto the ground and broke because of their scramble. At the same
time, the smell of alcohol filled the whole lobby and the broken pieces were everywhere.
Dustin snarled at Karina with his hands pressing her shoulders. “Karina, you are my sister, aren’t you?”
Karina bit her lower lip tightly and nodded.
“Yes…” But she said to herself, ‘If I could, I don’t want to be your sister.’
Hearing Karina’s answer, Dustin pressed her shoulders more tightly in a sudden and said, “Then, why
don’t you stand on my side? Why don’t you listen to me?”
Karina frowned and patted on Dustin’s back. “Dustin, calm down and have a rest. You should never
drink again. I will listen to you.”
“If you listen to me, stop getting along with Patricia. Why don’t you listen to me?” Dustin pushed Karina
even harder and pushed her backward. Karina fell onto the sofa. She gritted her teeth and asked in
confusion, “Dustin, why do you hate Patricia? Everything has a reason. I can’t make it if you hate her
with no reason. I can’t accept your request.”
Dustin sneered, “Do you really want to know? Well, I’ll tell you. Lydia doesn’t like Patricia, so I don’t like
her.”
Karina was frozen. Her eyes dropped with a few pangs and said, “Because of Lydia? Because she
doesn’t like Patricia, then you hate Patricia?”
“No, not because of this. It’s because I had the chance to marry Lydia. The Coleman Family had
accepted me and promised to marry Lydia to me. Lydia was willing to marry me, too. But Patricia was
pregnant, which was well-known in the city. The scandal also destroyed the reputation of Lydia.”
“Because of the bad reputation, dad and mom were unwilling to accept Lydia. They prevented me from
marrying her. If Patricia didn’t exist, Lydia would have been my wife now. She would not have married
Archibald and have his baby.”
Gradually, the bitterness of his face turned into satisfaction as if he was imagining the happy life with
Lydia.
