Chapter 745 His Conditions
Matthew gazed intently at Mary's face and said seriously, "Mary, think about it. Are you getting the short end of the stick here?"
Mary paused, her expression thoughtful.
If she thought about it, she wasn't losing out at all.
Matthew was putting in the money and effort, and he was also sharing her bed. His skills in bed were exceptional, and she could derive a lot of pleasure from it.
It was just a bit of time spent in bed, after all.
Besides, it wasn't their first time making love.
There was nothing to agonize over.
Mary hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think about it."
Matthew nodded, "Let me know when you've made up your mind."
Mary didn't respond and turned to leave.
Matthew watched her retreating figure, a faint smile gradually appearing on his lips.
Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was South calling.
South's voice was respectful, "Mr. Montagu, we've investigated the matter Mrs. Montagu asked us to look into. The group that harassed the orphanage was the Cooper family's bodyguards."
Matthew narrowed his eyes and said, "Find out what Barbara's connection to the Cooper family is."
"Yes, sir."
The orphanage covered a large area. Upon entering, there was a vast open space where the children usually played.
The three-story building was where they lived and spent their daily lives, and there was a small yard in the back.
Barbara used to grow vegetables there, providing for themselves, but David had since transformed it into a simple playground.
There were slides, swings, and other play equipment.
Mary sat on a swing, letting the cool breeze brush against her. She tried to resist, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Matthew's capabilities could save her a lot of trouble.
She could even have him investigate her background directly.
That way, she wouldn't have to worry about Barbara.
Mary lowered her eyes, her expression cold..
"Aren't you cold?"
David walked over and draped a jacket over her shoulders.
Mary paused, dodging slightly, then said, "Thanks, I'm fine."
David noticed her avoidance but didn't say much. He asked, "Are you facing some kind of problem?"
Mary looked at him, "How's your website doing?"
David replied, "Not very well. Running a family search website isn't easy. It takes a long time to reach people."
Mary nodded, "It's a long process."
David said, "You still want to know who your parents are, don't you?"
Mary pressed her lips together and nodded after a moment, "Yes."
Of course, she wanted to know what kind of people her parents were.
If they found out that the daughter they cherished was an impostor, what would they do?
Mary was very conflicted right now.
David said, "Mary, I think you should find out. You should know who they are and why they left you. As for whether to reconnect with them, you can decide that later."
Mary looked at him, her expression more confused. "Is that the case?"
David smiled slightly, "If it were me, I'd want to find out. I'd even ask why they didn't want me. What was their reason? If they didn't want me, why did they have me?"
Mary paused and said, "But what's the point of asking?"
David was momentarily speechless.
What was the point of asking?
David was silent for a moment and said, "I came to persuade you, but you've led me astray."
Mary burst into laughter.
