Chapter 578 Baby, You Said It So Well
The waiter didn't know how to handle the situation for a moment.
Mary glanced at Joan not far away and saw Laura. She had a vague guess in her heart and suddenly reached out to hold Matthew's hand.
Matthew looked at her in surprise, his eyes lighting up in that instant. He quickly held her hand back, even using a bit of force, as if afraid she would suddenly pull her hand away.
Mary's expression paused, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't move away and continued enjoying her fruit.
The two waiters exchanged glances. They couldn't afford to offend Joan and certainly not Matthew, so they slunk away.
Joan and Laura saw everything that happened.
Joan looked a bit displeased. "That bitch, she actually dares to flirt with Matthew in public. I really underestimated her."
Laura lowered her eyes slightly, her voice tinged with a bit of grievance, "Joan, just let it go. Matthew really likes her now. If we rashly go over and drive her away, Matthew will definitely be angry."
Joan couldn't stand seeing Laura looking so aggrieved and immediately stood up, walking over, "I don't believe Matthew would ignore me for Mary!"
Laura tried to pull her back, "Joan, calm down!"
Joan had already lost her reason and naturally wouldn't listen to her.
Joan quickly walked up to Matthew, smiling, "Matthew, why don't you come over and join us?"
Matthew, holding Mary's hand, said in a good mood, "I'm accompanying my wife."
Joan acted as if she had just noticed Mary, her face showing a bit of surprise, "So she's your wife? Matthew, didn't you get divorced? Actually, I think it's good that you got divorced. Ordinary women like her don't fit into our high society. Besides, she's an orphan. Keeping her by your side will only drag you down." She spoke with an innocent charm.
Mary looked up at Joan, observing her closely. She realized that Joan's innocent charm was genuine, not an act, which showed how privileged her family background must be to cultivate such a personality.
Did Shirley still have a chance?
"Do you know it's very rude to stare at someone like that?" Joan said unkindly when Mary didn't speak but kept staring at her.
Mary said calmly, "I look at you because you're a person. If you were just some roadside flowers, I wouldn't notice you."
Joan didn't catch the insult but felt uncomfortable.
Matthew smiled, "Well done, darling."
Mary's arm immediately got goosebumps, and she even wanted to pull her hand back.
Was Matthew out of his mind?
Did he need to talk to her like that?
Joan's face looked a bit unpleasant, and she continued to act coyly towards Matthew, "Matthew, come play with us. Games are more fun with more people."
Matthew looked at Mary, "Do you want to play?"
Mary shook her head, "I don't want to play, and you can't go either."
Hearing this, Matthew raised his eyebrows.
Joan, hearing this, angrily said, "Aren't you being too controlling? Matthew can do whatever he wants. You have no right to interfere. Even if you weren't divorced, you still wouldn't have the right to control Matthew."
