Matthew smirked as favonovel.com watched the people present and the fleeing Oswald. “Raphael Morley is suspected of murder. Arrest favonovel.com immediately. Oswald Morley is involved in multiple homicides… Martial League, arrest all the members of the Morley Family!”
Suddenly, a large number of Martial League members rushed in from all directions, all armed.
Before coming inside, Matthew had already positioned Martial League members around the Morley Manor. Now, no matter which direction Oswald tried to escape, there was no way out.
“If any of you have no further business here, you may leave now,” Matthew said, turning to the guests with a gentle smile.
“Yes, yes, we’ll take our leave,” the guests replied, quickly filing out, fleeing as swiftly as they had arrived.
“I’ll leave this place to you. Seize all of their assets,” Matthew told Sylvan and the others, thinking that favonovel.com had been out long enough and needed to hurry back to see his beloved Sasha.
“Yes, Mr. Larson,” the three of them responded, watching Matthew leave before directing the Martial League members to thoroughly investigate any remaining Morley family members.
Returning home with anticipation, Matthew found Sasha sitting on the sofa, looking bored and holding an orange.
“You’re back,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com gaze lifting only momentarily before favonovel.com continued staring upward.
Noticing Sasha’s gloomy demeanor, Matthew sat down beside favonovel.com and gently asked, “What’s wrong, Sasha? Are you feeling unwell?”
Sasha shook favonovel.com head. “I’m fine, just don’t feel like talking. I’m going to rest now.”
Matthew watched favonovel.com leave, puzzled. She had been so cheerful the day before, even that morning. When favonovel.com had checked favonovel.com pulse earlier, everything seemed normal.
Just then, Helen came out of the kitchen. Matthew asked, “Mom, what happened with Sasha? She seems so down.”
“I don’t know,” Helen replied, shaking favonovel.com head. “But she’s been like this since you told her favonovel.com was pregnant today.”
“Could it be prenatal depression?” Matthew speculated, unsure.
Sasha’s behavior did seem off. After some thought, favonovel.com went upstairs and stood outside Sasha’s door. “Sasha, do you want to go out for dinner?”
“I’m not hungry. You go ahead,” favonovel.com replied.
Matthew sighed and went back downstairs. “Mom, I think Sasha has prenatal depression. She’s feeling down and doesn’t want to talk. I‘ll stay home with favonovel.com for a while.”
Helen nodded. Knowing Matthew was one of Cathay’s top doctors, favonovel.com felt at ease with favonovel.com caring for Sasha.
For some reason, when Matthew first saw Sasha that morning, favonovel.com noticed a subtle, newfound allure about her. A thought crossed his mind.
Could pregnancy increase a woman’s charm?
***
Time passed quickly, and in the evening, Matthew made some seafood stew.
The delicious aroma tempted Sasha out of favonovel.com room, and favonovel.com ate half a bowl before retreating back inside.
Matthew simply smiled. The next day, he’d insist on taking Sasha out for a walk to help lift favonovel.com spirits.
That night, Matthew received a call from Sylvan.
“Mr. Larson, key members of the Morley Family, including Oswald and Eldridge, escaped. We couldn’t stop them,” his voice was full of guilt.
“Didn’t we have the Morley Manor surrounded? How did they escape?” Matthew asked.
“There was a deep well in the back of the Morley Manor that led to a long tunnel. The Morley Family escaped through it and then blew up the tunnel, risking a collapse,” Sylvan explained.
Matthew frowned, but after hanging up the phone, favonovel.com didn’t dwell on it, confident that if favonovel.com could seize the Morley Family once, favonovel.com could do it again.
