Loving A Stranger - Chapter 533

When they were about to fight against one another, the housekeeper walked inside in a hurry. “Old Mr. Parker, Lord Matthew is home!”

Hearing that, Taylor stopped for a second and exchanged a glance with Barbara.

Matthew had been absent for a whole month, and they all thought he must be dead outside because he didn’t have money to buy the drug. Why did he suddenly came back?

“Mom, he comes back for money without a doubt. I’ll chase him away!” Taylor said and walked out of Barbara’s back.

However, before she could do that, Matthew already stepped inside.

Taylor was struck dumb when Matthew appeared in her sight because he looked totally different now.

He had been as skinny as a skeleton before, but now he had a ruddy face and was full of energy!

The second he saw Taylor, he gave her a big hug with a happy smile, and Taylor almost cried.

“Where have you been?” Taylor whimpered. “Go greet father and mother now.”

Matthew normally refused to be respectful of Barbara, but he greeted Barbara first today.

He didn’t find his father was arguing against a middle-aged man who was much taller than him until he turned to face his father. “Father, may I know who this is?”

“He’s Ethan’s biological father,” Barbara explained.

Matthew beamed at once, then asked old Mr. Parker, “Father, what’s going on here?”

Old Mr. Parker was still annoyed. “He forces me to divorce your mother!”

“Barbara is always mine!” Adolph argued.

Matthew remained silent for a while, then said to his father, “Father, I don’t think it’s a good idea if you separate them apart on purpose. Why don’t you…”

Before he could finish, old Mr. Parker hit him with a coffee cup. “Bullshit! Who do you side with?”

Matthew didn’t mind it at all and continued, “Father, Ethan has saved my life. Please do him a favor for the sake of me.”

Everyone in the room was confused. Matthew then told them how he had been able to come off drugs.

No one believed he could do that, but Ethan insisted on trying and helping him.

During the detox, Ethan also arranged a series of healthy nutrition recipes and fitness exercises for him.

He hated Ethan to death back then and even had promised to pay Ethan back if he could survive.

However, as he recovered day by day, he began to understand Ethan’s kindness. “Father, please, you can still be friends with Barbara afterward. Barbara is determined to leave, and it’s impossible that you can stop her,” Matthew said.

In fact, Old Mr. Parker was also aware of it.

He made a resigned sigh and held Barbara’s hand. “Here, take good care of her. I don’t want your money at all,” he said to Adolph and placed Barbara’s hand in Adolph’s palm.

Adolph beamed with happiness and pulled Barbara to his side.

“I’ll give all my properties to my son, and you won’t have a cent!” he said to old Mr. Parker with pride and satisfaction.

It seemed that their life went back to peace, but Kylie was still mentally tortured.

Probably because of the last sentence, Stephen had said by her ears, she couldn’t help thinking of him every night now when she looked at stars in the sky.

The cast was removed from Nate’s leg, and he invited his friends to celebrate at the Empire Hotel.

“Order whatever you want, and Ethan can give us 50% off,” Nate said and squeezed the menu into Fannie’s hand.

Fannie lightly knocked her shoulder against Kylie, who wore an absent look. “What do you want to have, Kylie?”

Kylie withdrew her sight from the window. “Um, sweet-and-sour ribs, please.”

Fannie rubbed Kylie’s belly and said with envy, “I wish I could stay in good shape like you when I’m pregnant in the future. You don’t look bulky at all, but you’ve carried twins for almost seven months till now!”

Kylie smiled. “I eat a lot but don’t gain much weight. I think my babies are the same as me.”

“Don’t be so envious of Kylie.” Nate reached out his hand and rubbed Fannie’s butt. “Your ass is already bigger than Kylie’s now.”

“Leave me alone!” Fannie kicked Nate’s chair away.

Nate pretended to be hurt. “I just got rid of the cast. Do you want to break my leg again?”

Ethan handed the menu back to the waiter, then pulled Kylie’s chair near to his side. “Ignore him. His brain probably is also damaged.”

Fannie laughed. “Right! He might have water in his brain, so it doesn’t work well.”

“Come on, you should be the one whose head is full of water because you love crying,” Nate argued.

“I’m not!” Fannie glared at him.

“Don’t you remember that you always cry and beg me to be gentle in bed?” Nate raised his jaw with pride.

“Shut your mouth!” Fannie stood up and hit Nate with her fist. “How dare you say that right before Kylie and Ethan?”

Nate protected his head with hands. “You don’t need to be shy. We’re all adults here.”

Kylie laughed and leaned on Ethan’s body. Ethan laid his hand on her belly and said, “Mind your language. There are underage kids in this room.”

“Oh, right.” Nate moved near and said to Kylie’s belly, “Sorry, babies, it’s your Uncle Nate’s fault.”

“Get back!” Fannie grabbed Nate’s ear and pulled him back to his seat.

After that, she looked at Kylie and Ethan. “Have you found Dinah yet?”

Kylie shook her head. Ethan had sent out many people to find Dinah in vain. Unless she hid away herself, or they would have found some clues.

Dishes were placed on the table one by one, and Kylie stood up at this moment. “Excuse me, I need to use the washroom.”

“I’ll go with you,” Fannie said, standing up as well.

“Why do women go to the washroom together?” Nate couldn’t understand it. “Do they have to do that to show they’re good friends?”

Only two of them were left in the private room now.

Ethan put his knife and fork down, then stared at Nate. “How is it?”

Nate swallowed before he said, “Ethan, why couldn’t you believe me? I promise Stephen must be dead.”

“I need to see it with my own eyes,” Ethan said. “Don’t mention that before Kylie’s face.”

“No problem.” Nate smiled. “Ethan, shouldn’t you hold a wedding for Kylie? It’s an announcement to the world that she’s your woman.”

There was a faint smile on Ethan’s lips. “Kylie plans to do that after giving birth to our babies. I have the same idea. It’s not easy to prepare for a wedding well.”

“You really love her deeply.” Nate beamed.

When Fannie walked out of the ladies’ room, she found Kylie gazing out of the window again. “What are you looking at? It’s completely dark outside.”

“The moon is very round tonight.” Kylie smiled.

“Yeah, it’s a sunny day today, and there are many stars in the sky,” Fannie said, then realized something was wrong. She held Kylie’s hand and asked in a low voice, “Kylie, are you thinking of Stephen?”

Kylie sighed. “I always have a feeling that he’s still alive.”

“It’s impossible!” Fannie smiled. “Ethan saw his body, and he must be dead now.”

“Kylie, I understand you feel grateful that he has protected you from being shot with his own body. You can’t forget him because you feel guilty, but you should know that even Nate would have done the same thing if he had been by your side.”

“They have received special training and will do the same thing to protect the hostage at the key moment.”

Kylie raised her head to look at Fannie’s eyes. “I hope Stephen is still alive for Dinah. She must hate me very much, so she left the hospital. The man she loves most was killed because of me.”

“If Stephen were still alive, he would still love you as usual, and Dinah would be in greater pain.” Fannie hugged Kylie. “It’s painful for Dinah to live her life if she can’t get Stephen’s love. I think it’s not a bad thing that she has to give it up now.”
