Chapter 47 You Have Our Back
“Ahhh!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
Matthew covered his nose, but blood was already dripping from his nose.
Seeing Matthew covering his blo ody nose and glaring at her reproachfully, Elizabeth
suddenly remembered what happened last night.
“Matthew, I’m sorry!”
Matthew did not respond to her but got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom.
She’s so dangerous. I can’t believe I got a nosebleed because of her in the early morning.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was dumbstruck as she sat on the bed.
Why am I on his bed? And why does it feel like someone was cuddling me throughout the
night? If I have to be honest, it did feel pretty comfortable.
Just then, Elizabeth suddenly remembered something. “Where is Old Mrs. Hilton? I thought
she went to look for a doctor? Why didn’t she wake me up when she came back?”
When Elizabeth was brooding over what happened the previous night, her phone rang.
After rummaging around the room, she found her phone in the walk-in closet.
As she picked her phone up, she saw that the caller was Arthur and was surprised that she
had many missed calls.
They must be worried sick when I didn’t go home last night.
She answered the call at once. “Arthur.”
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Elizabeth’s voice.
“Mommy, you didn’t come home last night. We were worried about you.” Arthur’s voice was
a bit cool and sounded a little unhappy.
However, growing up with a good upbringing, he would not get angry nor be unreasonable
easily.
Elizabeth replied in a gentle tone, “I’m so sorry! I’m fine. I just spent the night at my friend’s
house for work-related matters and will be back soon.”
“Mommy, you’ve been naughty!” Abby chimed in.
Hearing Abby’s voice, Elizabeth could imagine Abby looking all grumpy and pouting on the
other end of the line.
“Sweetheart, my car broke down, so I couldn’t go home. Can you please forgive me this
time?” asked Elizabeth.
Abby snorted before saying, “No, I won’t allow that unless you’re with Mr. Handsome. From
now on, you have to come home on time and not stay out anymore.”
Abby was taught to say all that by her brothers, Arthur and Antony.
Elizabeth felt slightly guilty after hearing Abby’s words. Indeed, she had stayed with Matthew.
last night. However, she could never let her children find out about that or the fact that she owed
Matthew a lot of money.
“I got it. I promise this is the last time. Ask Ms. Elliott to take you out. You need to get under
the sun for calcium,” assured Elizabeth.
After a brief conversation, Elizabeth hung up
the phone.
She took a deep breath. Who would have thought my children would be managing my life.
and even giving me a curfew?
Just then, Matthew walked out of the bathroom and started to pick out his clothes.
Elizabeth was a little embarrassed about the previous night.
When she was about to leave, Matthew stopped her and asked, “Elizabeth, why do
drool when you sleep?”

Upon hearing that, Elizabeth pretended she did not hear his words and fled the room.
The man chuckled as he took off his robe. She’s even cuter when she’s shy!
Without washing up, Elizabeth exited Matthew’s room and ran downstairs with her phone.
Chelsea, who was reading in the living room, heard her footsteps.
She raised her head. “Lizzy, you guys are awake! Breakfast is ready.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The breakfast was not prepared by Chelsea but by the housekeeper from the Hilton family
who had come with Chelsea.
Elizabeth blushed and said, “Old Mrs. Hilton, I should get going now.”
I can’t believe they just let me sleep with Matthew last night. Why is this happening to me?
Oh, my G o d! This better not be real!
Chelsea walked to Elizabeth and took the latter’s hands with a smile.
“Lizzy, I know Matt slept with you last night. Don’t worry. You have our back.”
