The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 267

“I had someone check Tara’s prenatal records. We’ll have them by tomorrow or the next day, tops.”

“And if there’s really something wrong with the baby, what are you going to do?”

Reese’s eyes flashed with steely resolve. “I’ll give everything to Zach. He has a right to know the truth.

“I’ve also got proof that Dylon’s been shorting Ramos Corporation. They keep making trouble for me—this time, I’m not letting any of them off easy.”

“Good,” Matthew said, his eyes full of quiet pride. He smiled. “If you need anything, just tell me. Don’t be a stranger.”

“Thanks. Really,” Reese replied softly.

She should have thanked him back at the conference, when he stood by her without a second thought.

Matthew smiled again, reaching out as if to ruffle her hair, but then he saw how tired she looked and just shook his head with a helpless little laugh.

“You’re still so polite with me,” he teased.

He’d watched Reese fight her way out of one impossible situation after another. At first, he just thought it was a shame that her talent in AI was getting wasted on marriage and motherhood. Then he heard from Annie that her husband and son barely treated her like family.

He felt bad for her, but he admired her strength even more.

When he found out her husband was Sebastian, he did think about keeping his distance. After all, he left the army and came back to Bridger Lake for one reason—to settle the score with the Ratcliff family.

But the more he worked with Reese, the more he was drawn in. He wanted to see how far she could really go.

Honestly, once the Blade project wrapped up and they had military backing, neither the Wiles family nor the Meyer family would dare try anything with her.

But even so, he still wanted to help. He wanted to make things a little easier for her, to be someone she could lean on.

Yet no matter how much they’d been through, she still kept him at arm’s length.

As those thoughts drifted through his mind, Matthew remembered what Alan had mentioned earlier.

“Oh, by the way, the Vista Tech CEO wants to set up a meeting. He’s asking when you’ll have time to talk about a Blade partnership.”
