"Who said you're old? I'll beat him up!" Hank immediately spoke up, not wanting to be misunderstood.Tracy fell silent.Hank thought about comforting her, but then he noticed Cynthia there too. He was caught in a dilemma. He could only give a meaningful look to Matthew beside him as if saying, 'Aren't you going to help me calm your mom down?'Matthew looked back, hinting, 'What's it got to do with me?''What do you mean by that?''I'm staying out of this.'Hank was becoming frustrated.Seeing the situation was not going well, Cynthia tried to mediate, "Auntie Tracy took off the bracelet you gave her, probably not just because she likes the new one, but it's also likely she wants to keep the one you gave her."Thirty years is quite a long time. Even a phone could have sentimental value and not be easy to replace after a long time, let alone something given by a spouse. Accidentally damaging it would surely be heart-wrenching."Really?" Hank directed the question to Tracy."O

Cynthia remembered when she had given Matthew the watch, and he had asked if she wanted to know the story behind his old watch. She had pressed him for answers, but Matthew did not say anything more. Then, there was a time when she asked him when he started liking her, and he mentioned the watch. However, she could not recall ever giving him a watch."When did he get the watch?" Cynthia still could not remember anything about it."It was many years ago, but I don't know the exact time. But I'm certain that if you keep asking him, he'll eventually tell you about his nickname," Tracy admitted honestly.Matthew was not easily moved, but once he was, it was for a lifetime. Though it was not good to think so, Tracy was relieved that Cynthia divorced Joshua. If they had not divorced, Matthew might have spent his entire life dedicated to the organization, never opening his heart to another girl."Okay." Cynthia decided to ask him again later.After a while, Hank and Matthew returned from

"Sorry. We were wrong to make accusations without knowing the truth. Please forgive us," the two finally spoke, their words tinged with remorse."You also defamed Matthew. Apologize to him," Cynthia said, only concerned about Matthew.Despite their mounting frustration, they could not let it show. Suppressing their displeasure and grievances, they uttered, "We're sorry. Please forgive us.""When someone wrongly accuses you and tarnishes your reputation, would you forgive them just because they say sorry?" Hank's voice was cold as he backed the two young ones. "From now on, don't bother visiting us for any reason. We can't stand the sight of you.""Hank, how could you say that?!""Hank!"Natalie and Joanna both expressed their discontent. They had come this time because they heard Matthew was dating a woman who had been married before and intended to give some advice (or perhaps criticism). After all, the Quier family was a prestigious household, and they could not just let anyone

"Captain?" Cynthia looked a bit puzzled, wondering why he came to her room.Matthew stepped inside and closed the door, his gaze falling on the envelope in her hand. Smiling, he asked, "What's in the envelope? Show me.""No way!" Cynthia quickly moved the envelope behind her back.Step by step, Matthew approached her, and Cynthia kept retreating. However, her back was against the wall before she knew it.Matthew slightly leaned in, narrowing the distance between them. "What are you hiding from me?" "I'm not telling you.""Are you sure?""Absolutely.""You know I can easily snatch it from you," Matthew stated a somewhat harsh reality, grinning. "Are you sure you won't show me?"Cynthia could not argue against that. After all, Matthew was taller, stronger, and more agile; she had no chance."No, I won't show you. If you try to take it, I'll be mad. I won't talk to you for three days," Cynthia reasoned, though she felt a bit uncertain."Is that a threat?" Matthew chuckled.Cy

"I just wanted to check if your alertness had decreased after some time without training. Seems like you're fine," Matthew said seriously while maintaining his carefree demeanor.Cynthia was a bit baffled, still groggy from being abruptly woken up. Over the past two years, they had not been assigned any missions, so why was he testing her out of the blue?"Go back to sleep. I'll head out." Matthew tried to slip away.Cynthia stopped him. "Wait."Matthew naturally stopped, showing no signs of guilt as he asked, "What is it?""Are you really only here to test my alertness?" Cynthia slowly caught up and began to find the situation strange."Yes.""And there's no other reason?""Nope.""If there is, our marriage will fail," Cynthia threatened. Matthew was surprised. Why would Cynthia say something like that?Cynthia waited for his response."That's not a nice thing to say," Matthew corrected, his mind racing to come up with a cover.Cynthia immediately understood that Matth
