Chapter 338 Under His Thumb
Following Elizabeth’s demand, Matthew’s eyes flickered “Okay, I can stop meeting her. But what about you?”
A smirk flittered across his handsome countenance, and his lips pressed into a thin line.
He stared at her fixedly, his gaze so piercing that goosebumps rose all over her. In response, Elizabeth rolled her
eyes at
“What a scoundrel!”
Argh! He knows that I can’t possibly stop meeting Dominic, so he doesn’t want to sever all ties with Tiana!
She then heaved a sigh. For some reason, I’m green with envy whenever it occurs to me that Tiana and Matthew
have a
relationship of sorts.
Quirking an eyebrow, Matthew snickered. His ebony eyes were dark, rendering his thoughts indiscernible.
Such a feeling swamped Elizabeth, and she felt that she couldn’t quite fathom the man. It was as though a layer of
mist was shrouding him, making him mysterious and mystifying yet very much intriguing.
She then broke free from his embrace and dashed toward the stairs.
Matthew swiftly followed and entered the dining room with her.
There was a spread for breakfast that morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the few people at the dining table, Cody urged with a smile, “Eat more. If you eat more today, you’ll
have plenty. to eat for the entire year. Besides, the ability to eat is a blessing.
Arthur slid off his chair and pulled out the chair beside him.
“Come and eat with us, Ms. Elliott!”
The three children had never regarded her as an outsider. Instead, they viewed her as part of the family.
After taking her seat, Cody picked up the spoon and started eating the clam chowder with a wide grin on her face.
She felt that it was particularly sweet that day, and her mood was also superb.
Over the years, she had already become family with Elizabeth and the children. She had no other family, so they
would be her family henceforth.
Abby had a big bowl of soup. Filled to the brim, she let out a burp.
“Oh, where’s Dom? He also loves the clam chowder made by Ms. Elliott!”
Conversely, Elizabeth didn’t like it, for she had it for a whole month during herxo.com fast update confinement
after delivering her three

children back then. Therefore, she felt nauseated at the sight of it alone right then
The three children, on the other hand, loved it very much. Even Dominic, who visited her often during her
confinement,
was fond of it.
While eating beef stroganoff, she replied, “He went home since he has to spend New Year with his family”
He was a priceless gem to the Campbell family, and the entire family loved him. Hence, many would have lacked an
appetite when he didn’t go home for dinner last night.
Elizabeth knew that all too well.
Upon hearing that, Abby murmured an acknowledgment before remarking. “I’m going out to play with the dog
now!”
“The dog?” Elizabeth echoed in surprise.
In turn, Abby nodded in affirmation.
“Yup! Dom brought it over carlier. He said the house is too big, so with Sirius here, no one will dare trespass as they
please. Sirius is a big wolfdog. It’s exceedingly adorable and even obeys me, Arthur, and Antony!”
Arthur and Antony had also finished eating. They both slipped down from their chairs.
“We’ll go with you. Abby!”
Subsequently, Abby glanced at the kitchen. “Have you cut the beef, Ms. Elliott?”
After all, Dominic said that Sirius loved eating beef.
“Yup. I’ll go and get some for you.‘
Cody took a massive piece of beef out and queried as she walked, “So, is it a dog or a wolf, considering the fact

actually eats raw beef?”
Taking it from her, Arthur reassured, “It’s okay. It’s indeed quite docile and has undergone training.”
By then, it was entirely obedient to Arthur and Antony.
Nonetheless, Elizabeth frowned and warned, “Even so, its inherent nature is still intact, so be careful.”
As Matthew ate the clam chowder in his bowl, a shadow flashed across his eyes, and displeasure flooded him
Did he bring a dog over to guard against a thief or me?
When Elizabeth finished her bowl of beef stroganoff, she snagged a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth.
“Matthew, I’m going over to Snowy Barber to meet the landlady and return the keys to her. Drive me over, okay?”
Matthew naturally had no objections. He put down his spoon, for he had also finished his food
He again looked at her deeply. “What about the kids?”
At the thought that he could spend time with her alone, his expression changed, and he appeared ecstatic.
I’ll bring them to the church to light a candle,” Cody hurriedly interjected.
She went to the church to light a candle every year, and the three children went with her, finding it rather fun
there.
At that exact moment, Matthew’s phone rang. Dipping her head, Elizabeth glanced at it, upon which she promptly
picked
up the phone and answered the call.
Stop calling. He isn’t going to take your call.”
