My Ex Next Door - 50 Chapter 50

Brent exhaled.

“So, that’s how you met your hot wife,” Brent spoke absently. When he realized what he said, he turned to Matthew’s direction but the man had his causal expression as if he didn’t mind it when he called Peyton hot.

“Yup, she’s hot” Matthew replied and took out his phone. He showed a photo of Daniella and Peyton together when they were in the vacations and the two were wearing bikinis.

“Whoa! can you transfer it to me?” Brent asked, his eyes were wide open, shining. He’s like a dog drooling at a piece of good meat.

Matthew grinned and immediately send it to Brent.

“just be careful, don’t show it to the triplets, Ken and Evan. They will kill you especially Leo, that boy is a mama’s boy” Matthew warned him, but it didn’t shake him.

“Also, just stare at Daniella, not to my wife ok?” Matthew smiled at him but Brent noticed the murderous look he’s throwing at him.

“Sure. But do you have any picture of Daniella alone?”Brent asked.

Matthew shook his head. “I don’t have but my wife does. She has dozens of Daniella’s photo”

Brent and Matthew stared at each other, even without uttering a word their eyes formed a plan.

“I will bring my wife here so while I work on her in the room, you can sneak in take her phone ok?” Matthew formed an OK sign using his finger.

“what about your wife? Don’t you think she’ll get jealous?” Brent asked in confusion.

Matthew chuckled and shook his head.

“no. We’re in an open marriage” he replied.

“what does it mean?” Brent asked.

“It means we can sleep with anyone we want” Matthew replied.

Brent’s lips parted a little in confusion.

“why would you do that?” he asked.

“Because we don’t love each other” Matthew responded and put his phone back in his pocket and rested his head on the chair.

Brent watched him, the words Matthew said came as shock to him. He knows that they are rich but he was not thinking that there are some people who get married without love.

Brent doesn’t understand it given that he grew up in a house full of love.

But based on the smile he saw in Matthew’s face when he called Peyton his wife and the way he said her name tells him that the man was confused about his own feeling.

(Nah! Not my business) Brent said to himself. He was thinking of giving him advice but he doesn’t know Matthew nor his wife so giving an advise it not his place.

“so. The triplets” Brent sighed and decided to change the topic. He looked at Matthew who suddenly opened eyes after hearing the word triplets.

“one advise bro. Get away from them as far as you can” Matthew wave a finger in the air and looked at him in a bored expression.

“Too late. Alexa asked me to be her servant for calling her fat” Brent pressed his lips together, annoyed that the triplets cuteness made his parent takes their side.

“ugh! She’s an upgrade version of Daniella. Tsk… what did she asked you to do?” Matthew relaxed his back on the chair and rested his leg on the square bamboo table in front and rock the chair back and forth.

“she asked me to buy her a laxative”Brent replied.

Those words made Matthew’s closed eyes to open and immediately rushed inside the house like a tornado.

Brent tilted his head when he heard a loud sound in the house, he got up and entered while calling his name.

He found Matthew in the kitchen, water, alcohol and different bottles are on the floor while Matthew stands in front of the sink, two hands holding two bottles upside down throwing all the liquid inside.

“what are you doing?”Brent asked, puzzled by his action. He walks to his direction and kicks all the bottles that block his way.

“Don’t drink or eat anything those triplets give to you. No matter what, even they point a syringe to your neck” Matthew exasperated, he spoke as if a grim reaper was about to take his soul.

“why what’s wrong” Brent followed Matthew walking towards the bedroom.

“those three. They are evil” Brent wanted to laugh by his tone. He was like a five-year-old kid, scared of the monster.

When he saw Matthew taking a black suitcase out of the cabinet and throw some clothes inside, his forehead furrowed.

“what are you doing?” he asked

Matthew paused and rested his hands on his waist.

“I need to leave. The last time those kids got a hold of a laxative I stayed in the toilet for a week, really I am not exaggerating” Matthew’s eyes went round while his hand zips the luggage.

“if you’re smart. You will leave too. We can’t fight them. When those three works together even Satan ran away”

Hearing it, Brent stops Matthew from leaving by grabbing his arm. The man looked at him in confusion.

“We need to work together and discipline those three brats. You and me. We can beat them” Brent proposed with courage.

Matthew dropped his luggage on the floor and put both hands on Brent’s shoulder and grip it tightly.

“you’re right. We’re the adults we can fight them. We will discipline them” Matthew replied. His eyes shimmered with determination.

“good. So, do you have a plan?” Brent asked eventually.

Matthew stared at him his face went blank.

“no. Do you?” Matthew asked. He thought Brent already has an idea on how to discipline the three kids since he proposed it.

Brent shook his head and picks up Matthew’s luggage from the floor.

“no, I don’t” Brent replied.

They both went silent. Since they don’t have an idea on how to starts their plan, they decided to abort it.

“I better go” Matthew took the luggage from Brent and the man walks him out.

“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea” the two step out of Ander’s house leaving all the mess around.
