Chapter 9 The mans body tensed for a moment , and disappointment was evident at first glance . I actually didnt have the idea of never getting married throughout my life . A little spice is still needed in life . But I couldnt possibly marry someone who was almost a stranger to me . Let him be my assistant first , and well talk about marriage later ! As soon as the words fell , both men in the study were very happy . After laughing enough , my father left me alone and asked me cautiously . Matilda , are you still thinking about that Theodore ? His sudden question made me momentarily bewildered . Seeing my absent mindedness , my father became even more certain that I had not forgotten him . I muttered a few words to myself there for no reason . Did I do things a bit too harshly ? I had good hearing and could hear . My father coughed a few times uncomfortably and then slowly explained to me . After I left , my parents came to know the whole truth of the matter . In order to vent their anger on me , they destroyed the companies of the Kramer family and the Tanner family . And the Horne family , who cared so much about their reputation , spread Skylas affair to the public , causing a very ugly situation . Several men approached the Horne family claiming to be the father of the child . Skylas parents were so angry that they both went to the hospital . Actually , it wouldnt be a big deal if Skyla were pregnant , but her behavior was just too disgusting . After the Tanner family went bankrupt , Skyla married Theodore with her children . I suddenly realized , and I wondered why there was an additional fiancé out of nowhere . Originally , I saw that Theodore was in a miserable state now , and I was afraid that if I mentioned our past relationship , I would blame him . I smiled helplessly and felt grateful to have family by my side . When my daughter was two years old , I went back to my home country with my parents . My parents had the idea of returning to their home country a long time ago . If I hadnt been pregnant at that time , they would have gone back already . My daughter took my surname , and I named her Gemma Kramer . I hope she will always be loved like a little baby . Stepping on this familiar land once again , my state of mind at this moment is completely different from when I first arrived . I had many wonderful things now . The love of parents , the thoughtfulness of husband , and the warmth of daughter . I didnt know if the world was really so small , but going around in circles led me to meet Skyla . But she was completely different from what I remembered . When I walked past her , I didnt expect Skyla to spot me in the crowd at first glance . She suddenly dropped the shovel in her hand and ran towards me . I thought she came to provoke me , but I didnt expect her to cry in front of me . The tone is almost humble . Matilda , please go and see Theo once , thats all I ask . She was afraid that I would leave , so she tightly held onto my sleeve and asked the little boy beside her to run upstairs and call for help . There is another little girl , slightly older than my daughter , being led by Skyla . My husband wanted to remove Skyla , but I shook my head at him . If I dont even have the courage to meet Theodore now , then these past few years have truly been inf vain . Theodore stumbled down from upstairs , reeking of alcohol , and my daughter instantly covered her nose . I asked my husband to hold our daughter and stand further away , waiting for me . Theodore saw me frown , he smelled the scent on himself , and awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth . Took a few steps back . 2/4 Matilda , how have you been ?
