FULL NOVELXO Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Matthew went straight home.
This was his first time going home during work hours.
There were already no Nadia’s traces in the clean house, except for the divorce agreement on the table that had been ruffled by the wind.
Matthew went over to pick it up,
The agreement was very simple, Nadia didn’t want anything from him.
She had signed it
Her handwriting was very beautiful, smooth, and elegant, like a piece of art.
Matthew stared at the divorce agreement, sunk in thought.
After some time, there was a rustling sound of the door opening
Matthew suddenly turned to look at the door
Selena, who had just pushed the door open and corne in, was shocked by his sudden movement.
“What’s wrong?” she asked in confusion. She saw that the expectation on Matthew’s face slowly turned into calmness,
“Nothing,” he replied flatly, “Why are you here!”
“I was afraid that Nadia would be bored at home alone, so I came to accompany her, Selena smiled and walked to him. “Why did you come back so early today! Did something happen to Nadia?”
As she spoke, Selena frowned worriedly and turned to look at the room
“She’s fine,” Matthew said, looking at her. “Do you come here often?”
“No. Just occasionally.”
Selena had an awkward expression. After she finished speaking, she saw Matthew frown
She changed the topic to the document in Matthew’s hand nervously, “What’s this?”
As she spoke, she reached out to take it, but before her fingertips could touch the document, Matthew had already pressed it down.
“Nothing important. Matthew said, looking at Selena. “You don’t have to come over. Nadia has her own work to do. I’ll go back with her to see you when we are free.”
“How could she have…” Selena wanted to say “How could Nadia have any work to do, but she quickly changed it to “Okay
She couldn’t help reminding Matthew, “Nadia has been recuperating for more than a year, but she’s still not pregnant. Maybe it’s due to the effects
of her miscarriage at that time. Ask her to find a time to go to the hospital for a checkup. What if she can’t give birth?”
Matthew said. “I don’t want a child‘
Selena looked at him in surprise.
Mathew continued, “You can go back now. Don’t come here again if there’s nothing big”
Selena opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but in the end, under Matthew’s cold gaze, she shut her mouth and turned to leave. Matthew watched the door close and glanced at the house without Nadia’s trace. He let out a long sigh, picked up his phone, and called his assistant. “Harrison, help me make an appointment with Mr. Harvey to deal with my divorce.
“Huh?” Harrison was stunned, thinking, “He asked ine to drive Nadia to the bookstore yesterday, didn’t he? They don’t look like th
They a
are quarreling
Matthew hung up the phone, threw the divorce agreement onto the table, and turned to go out,
Nadia had moved back to her small house in the suburbs.
She bought it before she got married. The house was big enough for her to live in alone,
11:18 AM
Chapter 2
But in this small house, she had a one–night stand with Matthew and got pregnant, which became an opportunity for them to be tied together.
That night, Nadia was badgered by Kathleen Hayden, her good friend, into attending a class reunion with her.
Unexpectedly. Mathew, who had never attended a class reunion before, was also there
After graduating from high school, she and Matthew had completely lost contact with each other. They were not in the class group chat, and they had never attended a class reunion before. They were like passers–by in each other’s lives. After a short interaction, they disappeared from each other’s worlds.
And Matthew disappeared more thoroughly.
No one knew where he had gone and what he was doing. Nadia occasionally inquired about him from her high school classmates, but there was no
Information about Matthew,
Therefore, when Nadia suddenly sa Matthew, who had disappeared for a few years, she was surprised and nervous. She had liked him since she was young. However, she never dared tell him how she felt about him. She was even reserved when talking to him. Moreover, Matthew was now sitting next to her. They were so close that she felt very uneasy.
She was nervous, but she was afraid of being seen through, so she could only hide her uneasiness by eating and drinking Unconsciously, she drank
a little 100 much.
Matthew took the initiative to take her back after the party, probably because they used to be deskmates.
Nadia lived alone. Although she was a little drunk, she was conscious. However, she was affected by the alcohol, staggering.
As soon as she entered her small house, she tripped over the shoes she had left at the door. Just as she was about to fall, Matthew quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. At that time, the lights had not been turned on, and Matthew had also drunk some wine. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, the stimulation of the night, and her long–lasting crush on him, their eyes locked. Then, their lips were slowly getting closer…
Nadia was not a casual person. She never even had a boyfriend, but that night, she lost herself under Matthew’s gentle and intense gaze.
She had fantasized about him looking at her like this countless times
That night, she had crazy sex with him. She behaved unskillfully but passionately,
She didn’t expect Matthew to be as inexperienced in love and sex as she was,
He could easily have a girlfriend with his family background and appearance
After two years of contact, Nadia understood why Matthew had always been single before. A man who was only focused on his work did not have extra energy and time for relationships
His strict upbringing made him celibate.
What happened that night was probably the only accident in his life
It was the same for Nadia.
She had already planned out her life.
She majored in architecture in college, talented and capable. At that time, she wanted to continue her studies for a while, so she began to apply to Architectural Department of Chatford Institute of Technology, but the accident that night disrupted all her plans.
Nadia didn’t expect her to be pregnant
They didn’t take any precautions that night, and because they were too self–indulgent that night, they got up a little late the next day. She had an Interview, so she didn’t have time to buy contraceptive pills. She thought that she wouldn’t get pregnant during the safe period, but she was wrong Nadia was
was at a loss when she found out that she was pregnant
Matthew wanted her to marry him and give birth to the child.
At that time, it had only been half a month since that night, and neither of them had contacted each other during that period. Nadia had not intended to tell Matthew about it, but is just so happened that she met Matthew, who was visiting his grandfather in the hospital.
She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to hide the test results, but it was too late.
Matthew caught a glimpse of the medical report she had hidden behind her and reached out his hand to her.
“Let me take a look
His words were simple and calm last chenmanding.
Chapter 2
Nadia hesitated for a moment before handing the test results to him
Matthew stared at the report in silence for a moment before asking her, “What are you goin
going to do?
Nadia shook her head blankly. She didn’t know what to do. She had never thought that she would have a child. This disrupted all her life plans.
“I want you to marry me and then give birth to this child” Mathew said. “But it’s up to you. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you”
“Marry you?”
Nadia was stunned. She thought Matthew was joking, but he nodded slightly.”
- “Tim serious”
He gave her two days to think about it.
Nadia had liked Mathew for so many years, but she had never thought that one day Matthew would propose to her.
She thought for two days in confusion and longing. She then asked Matthew out and told him, “Then … let’s get married,” Just like when they divorced, he nodded calmly and sakl, “Okay.”
On the third day after that, they got their marriage certificate.
It seemed absurd but rational
However, Nadia did not expect that she would lose that child.
Her marriage with Matthew didn’t even last three years.
It started and ended in a hurry
What happened in the past two years was like a dream.
Looking at the familiar things in the house, Nadia felt empty and vad.
When she almost tripped over her shoes that night. Matthew held her in his arms and gazed at her. Nadia kept replaying this in her mind.
She clearly remembered the concentration and mood swings in his brown eyes. Even how, her heart still throbbed when she thought of it
Nadia had thought it was love.
She had thought that he had also liked her for many years, so he had sex with her that night
It turned out that he was just drunk.
Her heart ached.
Nadia remembered that when she had accompanied Matthew back to his home a few days ago, she had passed by the study and accidentally heard his father quarrel with him there.
“Your grandfather loved you, so when he was seriously ill, he hoped to see you get married before he died. You didn’t want him to die with regret so you brought Nadia back in such a hurry. It just so happened that she was pregnant with your child. I couldn’t say anything about it. After all. I should let your grandfather rest in peace. But now two years have passed, and you lost that child. Do you still want to spend the rest of your life with her!”
1 know what I’m doing. Don’t worry about it.”
“What do you mean by that? How can 1 not worry! It’s said that too much wine will lead to trouble. Look at you. You refused to have a girlfriend because of Nathalia. In the end, you attended a class reunion, and that woman took the chance.”
“Dad” M
Matthew suddenly interrupted Gaven Brock, his father, in a calm and cold tone. “It’s my fault. It has nothing to do with Nadia”
“Okay, okay, I won’t talk about her. Every time I talk about her, you defend her. I just want to ask what you’re going to do if Nathalia comes back. Don’t forget that you are engaged to her.”
“She will never come back.”
Nadia could clearly hear that Matthew’s voice had become cool. It was rare for her to hear some emotions in his calm voice. Obviously, the girl named Mathalia held a special place in his hear.
This was the first time that Nadia had heard the name Nathalia, and she was stunned for a moment,
She suddenly felt at a loss. However, she didn’t feel upset. This name even gave her a subtle sense of intimacy.
She didn’t try to hnd out who Nathalia was, ‘There was no need to do that. The problem between her and Matthew wasn’t because of anyone else.

She just happened to appear when he was in urgent need of marriage to comfort his grandfather.
Now that his grandfather and the child he had to take responsibility for both died, there was no need for them to be

Nadia knew that as long as she didn’t say anything. Matthew would most likely not divorce her. He would spend the rest of his life with her like this
But Nadia did not want to continue like this.
This was not the married lite she wanted.
What she wanted was a marriage founded on mutual love. She didn’t need her husband to be rich. He just needed to care about her and live a cozy life with her. She didn’t want a man who loved someone else and was just taking responsibility for her.
Therefore, when Nadia proposed a divorce, she had been thinking about it for half a year
Sure enough, Matthew agreed readily as she had expected.
“He must have breathed a sigh of relief,” Nadia thought.
Her sadness was still increasing. Nadia pressed her chest and sized up the small space where she had once lived with expectations. She felt both heartbroken and relieved.
After a long time, she picked up her phone and called the real estate agent who she had bought the house from. “Hello, I want to sell my house in Greenhill Bay. Can you help me deal with it?”
The real estate agent remembered Nadia, who was gentle, beautiful, and young. She left a deep impression on him.
“Of course.” He agreed readily. “Are you going to move to a bigger house?”
“No.” Nadia smiled and changed the topic. “Thank you.”
Two days later, Harrison saw online that Nadia’s house was for sale. Recently, he had been looking for a place closer to the company and was searching on the Internet
Nadia’s community was near Matthew’s company. So once Harrison searched for houses nearby, he saw Nadia’s house.
Harrison had been asked to help Nadia move the luggage when she married Matthew. The interior design of Nadia’s house was neat and elegant, so he had a deep impression of it and recognized it at a glance.
He was stunned and couldn’t help glancing at Matthew, who was in the office.
Manbew asked Harrison to help him deal with the divorce, so Harrison knew Matthew and Nadia had divorced.
In his impression, Matthew and Nadia had always had a good relationship. Although they weren’t as clingy to each other as other couples, they didn’t hate each other to the point of getting a divorce
Harrbon couldn’t figure out why they had suddenly divorced.
In the
past
few days, Matthew had not been as gloomy as other divorced men. Except for leaving a group of people in the conference room that day, he was the same as usual.
Yet Matthew spent more time in the company than before as if it was his home. Moreover, he became even stricter about work.
Wherever he passed, everyone was nervous, and the entire office building was in a dangerous atmosphere.
Harrison felt that Matthew had more or less been affected by the divorce. He didn’t know if Matthew was quarreling with Nadia.
Harrison was hesitating whether he should tell Matthew that Nadia was selling the house. In his opinion, this meant Nadia was going to leave
There would be no possibility of mending their relationship if she left.
Harrison didn’t want to work in such an oppressive atmosphere.
He was in a dilemma.
Matthew suddenly looked away from the computer screen and looked at
at Harrison, “What’s wrong?”
Harrison was startled. “Nothing.”
Matthew asked, “Then why did you stare at me for so long”
Chapter 2
“Harrison hesitated.
Matthew said, “Go ahead.”
Harrison gritted his teeth and turned the phone screen to Matthew. “Nadia seems to be selling her house. She may be leaving?
Harrison saw Matthew’s hand pause on the mouse and thought that he would say something. However, Matthew coldly turned his eyes back on the computer screen.
“And then?” he asked calmly and indifferently.
