Chapter 579 Am I Qualified?
Mary gave Joan a smile and then looked at Matthew, "Do I not have the right to manage you?"
"You do, absolutely."
Matthew smiled at Mary, not even sparing Joan a glance.
Seeing this, Joan's face turned darkened. "Matthew..."
Matthew waved his hand and calmly said, "Get lost! Don't interrupt my time with Mary."
Joan became even angrier, her resentment towards Mary reaching its peak. This bitch dared to cling to Matthew like this.
When she found the chance, she would definitely teach this bitch a lesson!
Joan angrily got up and left.
Finally, the atmosphere returned to tranquility.
Mary tried to pull her hand away, but Matthew showed no intention of letting go.
She looked at him and said, "Holding my hand like this makes it hard for me to eat."
Matthew picked up a grape and brought it to her lips, whispering, "It's okay, I can feed you."
Mary remained silent.
She looked at him with disdain and didn't eat the grape.
Instead, she looked up at Maria, who had already joined the group playing a dice game where the loser had to drink.
Maria was handling herself well among them.
Seeing that Maria was fine, Mary looked away, leaned back, and took out her phone to play.
As for her left hand, if Matthew liked holding it, he could go ahead. It didn't really matter.
Her expression was very indifferent, but Matthew didn't care. His gaze remained fixed on her hand, as if he could see a flower blooming there.
"Matthew, what are you doing? Let's play together."
Herman walked over at this moment, giving a smirk as he glanced at their clasped hands.
Matthew directly refused, "No, I'm staying with Mary."
Herman's gaze became meaningful, "Didn't you two get divorced?"
Matthew replied, "Whether she agrees or not, she's still my wife."
Herman disdainfully curled his lips and walked away.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door, and Robert and Carrie walked in.
"Carrie." Joan stepped forward, affectionately linking arms with Carrie, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Robert.
Herman was her fiancé, and everyone thought she liked Herman, but that wasn't true. The person she liked was Robert!
Never mind the gifts Robert gave; just his presence at her birthday party made her incredibly happy.
Carrie took out a delicate box and handed it to her, "Joan, happy birthday."
"Thank you; I love it!" Joan accepted it and then eagerly looked at Robert.
Robert raised an eyebrow slightly, "Carrie, why didn't you tell me today was Ms. Bailey's birthday?"
Carrie was momentarily stunned.
Joan felt a bit disappointed but still said, "It's not too late to know now. Robert, I'm really happy you came."
Robert gave a faint smile and said, "The birthday gift will arrive soon."
"Thank you, Robert!" Joan was even happier.
She pulled Carrie to sit beside her, her eyes fixed on Robert, "Robert, join us in the game."
But he said, "I'll pass for now; you guys play."
Then he turned and walked straight towards Mary.
