The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 115

“I’m doing just fine. Why should I go back?”

Matthew raised an eyebrow. “What, is he feeling guilty now? Planning to finally give me a piece of the inheritance?”

Sebastian’s frown deepened. “Matthew, you’re just the illegitimate son—”

“Like I had any say in being born?” Matthew’s face darkened, which didn’t happen often. “If your dad hadn’t done what he did to my mom, do you really think I’d even be here?”

“You all treated us like dirt, did everything possible to split me from my mom.

“And when you finally brought me into the family, it was clear you didn’t want me. Your mom did everything she could to make my life miserable, and you just looked the other way.

“Even your grandpa couldn’t care less about me. All he ever wanted was for me to stay alive. And now, you want to talk family? Isn’t that a joke?”

Sebastian had nothing to say. He barely knew the details of the past, just vague memories of his mother’s open disdain for Matthew, and the way everyone else in the family kept their distance.

He let out a sigh, his tone softening. “Grandpa wants to make it up to you. He’s actually always thought about you, even if he never showed it.”

“Make it up to me?”

Matthew let out a cold laugh and didn’t bother replying.

Like I ever cared about that.

Sebastian met his eyes, his voice low and warning. “Whatever happened before, you wouldn’t have made it through if Grandpa hadn’t protected you. Just do this for him. Come back with me.”

“Fine.”

Sebastian clearly hadn’t expected him to agree so quickly. He paused, his finger hovering over the elevator button, and added, “Reese is my wife. I don’t want you getting too close to her.”

Matthew scoffed. “Did that cross your mind when you embarrassed her in front of everyone?”

Sebastian’s face clouded, but Matthew kept going. “We’re just coworkers. She helps me look after my kid sometimes, so I help her out here and there. That’s all there is to it.”

Sebastian looked up at him. “You’re married?”

“Yeah. My kid’s seven already.”

Matthew’s voice was flat, offering no more explanation.
