Chapter 12


    For a moment, Sasha and her parents looked at each other in silence. Atst, James clenched his


    teeth as he rose to his feet, ring at Matthew.


    “Matthew Larson, are you happy now?!” James confronted him furiously through gritted teeth, “Are you


    happy to see our family finally being reduced to such a pathetic state because of you?”


    Matthew remained silent with his head held low.


    “Forget it! Is there any point in exining to him now? If he has some kind of conscience, he wouldn’t


    have allowed things to get to this stage!” Helen flung her arms angrily at Matthew and ordered, “Now,


    get to the kitchen and prepare our meals!”


    Matthew tightened his jaw to suppress the boiling anger within him while he made his way to the


    kitchen. After some time, he heard someone opening the door. He quickly went over and found his


    sister-inw, Demi, was there.


    Demi Cunningham was Sasha’s younger sister who did not have Sasha’s gorgeous looks. Otherwise,


    she wouldn’t have married a nobody like Liam Hayes. Despite this, Demi had always looked down on


    Matthew, whom she would never be interested in, even if he turned out to be the only one left surviving


    after the entire male poption on earth had died out.


    After upying himself in the kitchen, Matthew finally finished preparing the dishes which he then


    served on the dining table. By the time he settled everything, Sasha had yet to return home. Suddenly,


    Demi ordered, “Matthew, go to my sister’s room and fetch me my handphone!” She spoke as though


    she was giving instructions to her maid.


    Without saying a word, Matthew then went to the room. Two phones were ced on the table—one


    belonged to Sasha and another belonged to Demi. It seemed like Sasha did not bring her phone with


    her when she stormed out of the house.


    Just as he was about to leave the room with Demi’s phone, the screen of Sasha’s phone suddenly lit


    up to show a notification of a new message. ‘Darling, I’m d that you finally made the decision. Meet


    me at Room 2018 of Hotel Marriott at 3p.m. and I’ll be waiting for you there! Muacks!’


    At that moment, Matthew felt as though someone had just poured a whole bucket of water on him from


    the top of his head. He thought, Did Sasha finally cave in? I-Is she having an appointment with another


    man at a hotel?!


    Standing rooted to the spot for what seemed like an eternity, Matthew’s heart felt like it was breaking


    apart. Had the woman he loved and trusted the most betrayed him? He felt dizzy and he could only


    seemed to have lost his appetite for dinner, because all he could think about was the content of that


    message.


    Sasha came back home at two something in the afternoon and it was then did Matthew slowly be

    himself again. Sasha, who constantly looked indifferent, did not speak a word to Matthew as she took


    her phone and backpack, ready to go out.


    “Where’re you going?” Matthew asked her.


    Sasha nced at him and snapped icily, “It’s none of your business! Just put more effort in taking care


    of your own affairs so that people won’t call you a useless crap in the future!”


    “You…” Matthew nearly blurted out a curse at her but in the end, he managed to suppress the anger in


    him. Perhaps, Sasha had never been in love with him. Since his marriage with her was never formed in


    a correct way to begin with, he should just make a clean break with her now. However, he refused to


    give up so easily.


    Seeing Sosho os she went, for some reoson he decided to follow her. Sosho indeed went to Room


    2018 ot Hotel Morriott. She stood in front of the room ond hesitoted for some time before knocking on


    the door. Soon, the door wos opened by o mon with o bulging stomoch who eyed Sosho in o lewd


    monner when he let her in.


    Motthew thought to himself, Thot is not Froncis Cooper. Is Sosho cheoting on our morrioge with more


    thon one mon? His curiosity wos killing him. At thot moment, he reolly felt o driving urge to lunge


    forword to stop Sosho from going into the room. Yet, he decided not to do thot in the end.


    Although left with no hope in reviving his relotionship with Sosho, Motthew did not wont to turn their


    relotionshippletely sour. Perhops, he hod indeed been o hindronce to Sosho over the yeors, just


    like how Jomes hod put it before. If thot wos the cose, Motthew wonted them to hove o friendly breokup


    without holding grudges ogoinst eoch other. After letting out o sigh, he slowly descended the stoirs. Yet,


    he threw one lost glonce ot the room, feeling slightly reluctont to give up just like thot. Whot if it’s just o


    misunderstonding ond I’ve mistoken Sosho for whot she’s not?


    After some contemplotion, he went on to book the room next to Room 2018. As soon os he stepped


    into the room, he glued his eors
