In the evening, Matthew sat on a wicker chair in the garden. He hadn’t smiled since he got back from Jim’s place.
Matthew sometimes thought that it would be nice for the family to have a meal together in harmony, even if it was just to watch the news. But those scenes don’t exist anymore.
The thoughts could not help but drift away.
“The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. Matthew squatted in the garden, looking at Jim with his head hanging and his face full of tears.
“What’s wrong with you?” Matthew did not respond to his mother, but instead moved forward.
As he got closer, he realized that Jim had a few marks on his body, as if he had been beaten.
Jim shook his head and Matthew’s tiny eyebrows knitted up, “Did Uncle hit you? You come with me.”
“I don’t …”
Jim is younger than Matthew and not as strong as he is.
He was even a little nervous when he was dragged into the living room by Matthew.
The two little ones were standing in the middle of the living room, with the light emanating from the complicated crystal chandelier overhead. As soon as Matthew’s mother saw Matthew, she immediately came over and took his hand affectionately, “Why didn’t you say anything when I called you? What’s wrong with your brother?”
“Mom, second uncle and second sister-in-law are bullying Jim.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Matthew’s mother crossed her eyes Matthew, Matthew tiny one, but like a statue, clutching Jim’s hand tightly, protecting his brother, “Jim you don’t be afraid, brother protect you.”
“…”
Jim lifted his head, looking at Matthew with expectation, and it was that kind of a look that was deeply imprinted in Matthew’s mind.
The wind blew the leaves in the garden.
Matthew smiled to himself, the past has passed, the words of a child, who would still take them seriously?
“Young master, are you remembering the past again?”
Mrs. Brown was going to make soup for them today, but when she came back, she saw Matthew sitting quietly in the garden alone. Alas, it seems that the young master is missing the old lady again …
Mrs. Brown had grown up with Matthew, and had long regarded him as her own child, and now, seeing Matthew sad, she felt a little bit of panic in her heart.
“Mrs. Brown,” Matthew looked up and saw Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown is already in her fifties this year, and her face has a lot of folds, if mom is alive, probably the same age?
But mom will definitely take good care of it, mom that person loves beauty the most.
Matthew got up and helped Mrs. Brown, “There’s not really much work here, you should do less in the future.”
“Old, old, but don’t look at Mrs. Brown old, but still useful.” Mrs. Brown smiled. When she got into the house, Mrs. Brown said, “Where’s Mrs. Grant?”
“She is asleep.”
“Sir, you must not blame me for talking too much, in fact …” Mrs. Brown thought for a moment, but continued, “in fact, I know that you have always had a grudge against The Grant family. But now that you’ve got a family of your own, why bother thinking about the past to make yourself unhappy?”
When Wilbert abandoned his mother to be with Carrie, this matter is always a thorn in Matthew’s heart.
So don’t look at how respectful Matthew is to Wilbert on the surface now, but in fact, his heart is also unhappy.
