Chapter 226 The Stubborn Matthew

Milly’s words momentarily stunned Matthew.

She had a point.

Not just in the past, but even now, he approached her with an agenda. He never truly considered her hist

Milly was perplexed.

She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. What kind of twisted reasoning is this?

Earlier, he was so self–righteous, claiming I’m unworthy of the Burnett name. Now suddenly, we’re all family and I shouldn’t harbor resentment? He wants to have it both ways–praising and criticizing me at will. What else is there for me to say?

With a sardonic smile, she retorted, her voice slicing through the faint light, “Matthew, even though you’re an artist and not big on logical thinking, you should grasp basic human relationships. We’re not close enough for gift–giving and late–night heart–to–hearts, are we?”

Seeing his intense fury oddly satisfied her. She casually sat down at the table and poured herself a cup
