Chapter 1063

The lamb with cumin and roasted peppers was plated and ready to serve.

Matthew carried the dishes to the living room, picked up his utensils, grabbed a few steaming pieces of mutton, and placed them into his mouth.

With a small bite, the crispy, tender lamb burst with flavor. The roasted peppers' spiciness and the cumin's unique aroma exploded in his mouth.

Matthew couldn't help but praise Lillian. "Mom, this tastes amazing."

Lillian smiled and said, "Take your time. Don't burn yourself."

Burn himself? He froze for a moment. How old was he now? How could he possibly burn himself eating?

It seemed his mother still treated him like a child. However, he enjoyed this kind of care, where he was being treated like a child. It warmed his heart.

After eating a few more bites, he suddenly thought of something. "Mom, you always used to say eating this at night wasn't healthy. Why did you suddenly decide to make it for me?"

Lillian poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Matthew. After a moment of silence, she said, "Smoking isn't healthy, but some smokers live to be 80 or 90.

"Grilled meat isn't healthy either, yet not everyone who eats it gets sick. I'm getting older. I just want to cook things you like to eat to satisfy your cravings. Sometimes, living is also about enjoying life."

She had changed. That was his first thought. His mom seemed less concerned about all those unnecessary rules. She cared only about his happiness.

Thinking of the shrimp in the fridge, he smiled and said, "Mom, don't just save the shrimp and spare ribs for Lori. You and Dad should eat more, too.

"You're getting older, and eating shrimp and spare ribs is good for your legs."

Lillian smiled and said, "Your dad and I are perfectly fine. Besides, Tessa has already taken most of your money. If you marry Rachel, you'll still need to pay the dowry, buy furniture, and get a house. Everything needs money. We can't waste it."

Matthew frowned. "Mom, how many times have I told you? I have money. I make a lot of money as a doctor. You need to trust me."

She stood up and walked toward the bedroom, brushing him off with a

Matthew was speechless. From her attitude, it was clear his mom still didn't believe he was making money.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He thought of a way to show his mom that he had made it.

The next day, a car pulled up to the curb outside the Wealthwave Group, and the door opened.

Matthew stepped out of the car. Today, he was here to see Rachel. He wanted her to help him put on a little act.

He planned to have her give him a million dollars in cash. If his mom saw a million dollars in cash, maybe just maybe she would stop being so frugal with herself.

It was rush hour. Streams of office workers flowed into the building like a rising tide.

Matthew thought of Rachel's morning meeting. If he went up early, he would just be stuck waiting around, so he strolled leisurely toward the entrance.

Before he even reached the door, Zachary appeared, smiling brightly as he walked up to greet him. Matthew noticed Zachery'

unusually radiant smile, He looked like he was in a fantastic mood.

Smiling back, Matthew asked, "What's this? Can you hold a squat for three minutes now?"

Zachary shook his head with a grin. "Not yet. I've made a lot of progress recently,

but I can only hold it for 2 minutes and 40 seconds."

Matthew was a little surprised.

Zachary grinned and said, "I'm not happy because of the squat progress. It's

because of something else. Can you guess what it is?"

Matthew thought for a moment. Zachary always talked about wanting to live off a rich woman.

His goal was to win over the finance department's wealthy lady. Last time, Zachary had said he was about to make his move on her.

Could it be... As the thought crossed his mind, Matthew blurted out in surprise, "No way! The wealthy lady in the finance department. You actually succeeded?"
