No Remarriage for us Stay Away by Livia Storm

Chapter 483 To Remarry

"The shares had been transferred a few days ago, and even if you were unaware of this, I wouldn't let Hattie be wronged."

Matthew gave a slight nod, stacking the two documents together and pushing them aside. "I'll accept your sincere gesture on behalf of Hattie."

Zachary smiled lightly. "As long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters."

"What do you think about Isla?" Matthew asked casually, lifting his coffee and taking a sip.

After Isla recounted the events the previous day, he suggested reporting Zachary to the police and holding him accountable. However, Isla stopped him, hesitatingly stating that Zachary was also a victim and didn't intentionally cause harm.

Matthew observed that Isla seemed to have some feelings for Zachary. Upon realizing he was the father of the child from years ago, she decided to return and acknowledge the child.

If Zachary were still unmarried, without a love interest, it wouldn't be a bad match at all.

However, he had already been married once before. His entanglement with his ex-wife suggested that they were considering getting remarried.

Hence, Matthew didn't hold much hope.

"All right, then. I'll just say it outright. Isla is naive and carefree, spoiled and prideful, as if she's been pampered by her family all her life. I've only ever regarded her as a sister."

"Given the circumstances, it's best to swiftly resolve the problem and not give her any false hope."

"I've never given her any false hope. However, the situation isn't within my control. She's Hattie's mother, so how could I possibly prevent her from seeing Hattie?"

Matthew paused, his gaze lowered in thought. "I want to discuss with you about the custody of Hattie."

Zachary's expression remained calm. "I don't see a need for further discussion. Whether it's from an adult's perspective or considering Hattie's wishes, the custody should stay with me."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "You're familiar with Isla's nature... She's still a child herself. How could she possibly take care of Hattie? Even before I knew Hattie's identity, I had already adopted her. Now that I know she's my biological daughter, I'll only love her even more. From Hattie's perspective, she relies heavily on me and is reluctant to follow Isla."

Matthew naturally understood Isla's personality.

Earlier in the living room, Matthew could tell Harrietta was quite unfamiliar with Isla.

"However, you know that Isla is only staying in Jacaster under the pretext of Hattie. If you were to give her custody of Hattie, she would have no reason to stay in Jacaster."

Therefore, Isla had also mentioned the day before that it would be best if Zachary retained custody.

She didn't want custody of Harrietta. She merely sought an excuse to get closer to Zachary.
