Chapter 108
When Love Comes Late
Waldo didnât bother beating about the bush, let alone answered his grandsonâs greeting.
âWhatâs this Iâm hearing about you being so close to a female employee lately? Matthew, have you forgotten that you have a wife?â
Without thinking for a second, Matthew knew the exact person that told his grandfather about this.
His face turned cold.
âI see that Charlene has come to tell you silly lies about me.
Thereâs nothing between me and the employee in question.
Sheâs just the PR officer I hired recently.
â
Waldo refused to take his word for it.
He snarled, âIf sheâs just an employee, why did you take her into your home? What was her business there? Matthew, do you think you can fool me because I am now very old?â
Matthew remained silent.
His grandfather was a stubborn man.
Whenever he believed something, no one could tell him otherwise, so Matthew decided to save his breath.
Waldo added, âI just got off the phone with Stellaâs grandfather and he said that his granddaughter doesnât want a divorce.
That means you are the one pushing for it.
What the hell is wrong with you? Are you doing drugs now? How can you have a good wife but still frolic with a mere PR officer?â
Matthew snorted and his face darkened.
His grandfather was sort of hypertensive, so he didnât want to tell him the reason for his action.
More so, that would only give Charlene one more reason to hound him.
He was annoyed that his wife didnât keep her damn mouth shut.

Needless to say, he was sure that a gold-digger like her would want money even if she didnât want a divorce.
How could the two women with same names be so different?

The atmosphere was getting heated as Waldo continued to roar while Matthew kept silent.
Lucia tried to step in as a mediator.
She held her husbandâs wrinkly hand and squeezed it.
âI have already spoken to Matthew about his marriage and he promised he would handle it.
He has never let you down, has he? So, trust him this time.
â
Waldo was breathing hard as he finally kept quiet.
Lucia continued to persuade him in a soft voice, âWe havenât had dinner together for a long time.
Matthew seldom visits us.
Now that heâs here, letâs set this matter aside and eat together.
â
Waldoâs expression softened when he locked eyes with Lucia.
He muttered, âOkay, letâs do that.
â
Lucia winked at Matthew.
The three of them slowly walked to the dining room.
Once Matthew was done eating, he got up before the table was cleared and left in a hurry, under the guise that something urgent just came up at work.
