Chapter 1284 Now Matthew Will Be Happy
At the Alvares family home, breakfast was coming to an end with a sense of apprehension among the family members."Well, Nate..." Ernesto cleared his throat. "Now that you're unemployed, maybe I can help you with something.""Really, Ernie?" Nathan reacted with surprise."Yes! How about we talk over there in my study?" Ernesto laughed at the question. In all these years, he never dreamed he would be living in an American-style house, complete with a study!"Yes, let's talk there." Nathan turned to his sisters. "You two still have your jobs, right?""I'm going to be promoted to Walter's assistant," Linda confirmed, cracking her first smile. "That way, I'll be protected from attacks by those who want to hurt me.""It would be better to fire Dr. Casanova, wouldn't it?" Nathan asked, indignant."It would, but Charles said it would be too much trouble to hire another doctor of Dr. de Paula's caliber." Linda sighed. "At least I didn't lose my boyfriend over a misunderstanding.""That's good
Chapter 1283 Two Unemployed People
Nathan realized that today wasn’t going to be the day he brought joy to the Alvares family.Ernesto shook his head in disbelief. “Nate, what is the meaning of this? You, the father of Mrs. Sterling’s baby?”“She won’t be Mrs. Sterling anymore as of today,” Nathan replied dryly.“So what?” Bella complained. “Are you thinking of making her Mrs. Alvares-Gouveia?”“Guys, I don’t think you know yet,” Nathan tried to explain. “I was always in love with Elaine Prates, well before Matthew appeared in my life as an intern at Golden Letters, before we discovered his true identity. Unfortunately, I was immature, a playboy, and irresponsible, and that repelled Elaine. She had a brief relationship with an Italian businessman, had a fling with Jackson Borges, but when Matthew needed a trophy wife, he chose her.”Linda nodded. “I remember the suspicious way they got married. So that was it? Elaine was initially interested in Jackson Borges?”Bella smiled maliciously. “Jackson Borges is a handsome ma
Chapter 1282 One “Good” and One Bad Piece of News
Upon opening the door, Bella found Nathan on the other side.“Nate, good morning! You arrived early today.” Bella smiled and stepped aside, letting Nathan in.Nathan entered with a serious expression. “Is everyone here? I need to tell you something very serious.”“Come, we were still having breakfast.” Bella led Nathan to the kitchen.Ernesto and Linda smiled when they saw Nathan approaching.But Nathan noticed they had serious expressions before he even got close. “Did I arrive at a bad time?”“Sit down, Nate.” Ernesto pointed to the chair where Gustavo usually sat.Nathan sat down, not remembering that detail.******At Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s answer exploded like dynamite in Abner’s study.“WHAT?” Karl stomped on the rug, venting his anger. “Even I didn’t expect something like that!”“Elaine was sleeping with Nathan?” Sheila narrowed her gaze, incredulous. “But... Didn’t she hate Nathan?”Matthew explained in a sour tone, “When Nathan was a pain in the neck, thinking he was the
Chapter 1281 The Truth Explodes Like a Bomb
Friday.At Sterling Mansion, tension reigned in Abner’s study.The family had gathered at Matthew’s request, who stood in the middle of the room, about to make a horrible announcement. At least, that was what everyone felt.Alice rubbed her neck, feeling suffocated, while Sheila already had a handkerchief ready to wipe away potential tears. Karl sat beside his wife, squeezing one of her hands.Abner, regal in his armchair, broke the silence. “Okay, Matt. You have our attention.”“Everyone, you need to know something that happened yesterday when I went to talk to Elaine at Golden Letters,” Matthew announced solemnly. “While discussing the baby’s custody, she announced that I am not the father.”Karl went “PFFFT” and covered his mouth with his other hand, not wanting to be disrespectful, but laughing on the inside.Alice wrinkled her nose. “Son, respect your son’s feelings!”“Sorry, Mom; but to me, this is excellent news!” Karl couldn’t hold back anymore, letting go of Sheila’s hand and
Chapter 1280 I Have Always Survived
“That’s not the point!” Linda asserted, defending herself. “I always loved Walt for who he is, not for the money or the high-class family he belongs to. I’ve already had the best luck of all being accepted by them. Should I force them to accept a drug-dealing brother?”“That is still being discussed,” Bella said, crossing her arms.“Face it once and for all, Bella,” Linda said, shaking her head. “And please, accept Jacque’s invitation, before they ban you from showing up at my wedding too.”Bella held her breath, her jaw dropping. Linda withdrew from Jorge’s office.******In Elaine’s office, she answered Matthew’s question about paternity with only a smile.Matthew narrowed his eyes, wondering who he had been married to all this time.“How long have you been meeting with Nathan?”“Since after you went to Praia Grande,” Elaine replied, trying to be respectful. “Since then, we have always fought and argued, and I couldn’t take it anymore. Your parents and grandparents didn’t contribute
Chapter 1279 Telling the Whole Conversation
At Urbano Magazine, Cindy tried to make sure Nathan was covering all his bases.“Nathan, I still need to ask one little thing. Suppose Matt accepts the possibility that Elaine’s baby isn’t his. You are aware that he is going to demand a DNA test when the baby is born, right?”“Yes, correct.” Nathan nodded confidently.“And if the test concludes that the baby really is Matthew’s?” Cindy felt a lump in her throat. “Not only would Matthew be furious: he would definitely snatch the baby from Elaine’s hands, and she would never hear from him again, of that you can be sure!”“If that turns out to be true, then I will accept the truth and convince Elaine to have our own children,” Nathan replied naturally.Cindy gave a forced smile. “That is the difference. You are willing to accept reality and move on with your life. Elaine, unfortunately, isn’t one of those people.”“Elaine won’t cause trouble over this. Not when she has another man supporting her,” Nathan said confidently.“But this man w
