This Is Love
Minerva woke up and found herself in a big room the next morning before she noticed Wilson seated
beside her. As she stared at his regal-looking plump stature, she immediately lay on the man’s lap and
acted coy. “Hubby, I’m now yours, so how are you going to treat me?”
“Oh, my beauty! I love you with my life, so you can be rest assured knowing that I’ll treat you right! Go
ahead and pick anything you want from the cabinet!”
When she heard the man’s words, Minerva was stunned for a short while. However, she quickly rose to
her full height and made her way to the cabinet before opening it. A moment later, she exclaimed in
excitement when she was greeted by the sight of many different luxury items, such as branded purses,
fancy clothes, expensive watches and glimmering jewelry. While those were the things that she had been
dreaming throughout her life, she looked at him with surprise. “Hubby, d-did you just say I can pick
whatever I want?”
“Of course!” Wilson smiled. “Take whatever you want!”
She was over the moon as she hugged him. “You’re the best, Hubby!”
He laughed and replied, “You’re my woman from now on and what’s mine is yours. Furthermore, this is
not really a big deal either. In fact, if the Lach Family still has the real estate project, I could even buy a
hundred more cabinets to store all these things like this one for you.”
“What real estate are you talking about, Hubby?” Minerva agitatedly asked, “What’s wrong with the
project?”
“You’ve probably heard about it before,” Wilson answered. “Matthew has taken over the project!”
“What? How did that happen?” Her face was as dark as charcoal. “By robbing us of our chance to take
the project, who does that b*stard, Matthew, think he is?”
Wilson let out a sigh. “It’s a long story. This happened before I became the Lach Family’s patriarch. The
previous patriarch and his son had a plan to exploit an area and turn it into a place full of residential
estates. Therefore, they invested half of the family’s fortune into the project, but before it was even
completed, one of them died while the other ended up behind bars. Thus, Matthew seized the
opportunity and claimed everything as his own. Alas! That was how the Lach Family met its downfall;
otherwise, no one would dare to ride roughshod over us.”
Minerva’s eyes widened in anger as she said, “Matthew is such an idiot! How could he do something like
this?! This is our project! No matter what, it’s our business and the Lach Family’s property! So, who is he
to take everything away from us?! It appears that I must confront him for an explanation and make him
return the project to us!” She talked as if she was the matriarch of the family.
Wilson restrained her and responded, “Calm down, Honey! Matthew has Billy to watch his back, not to
mention his close relationship with the Jackson Family. Thus, the Lach Family is no match for them with
our current status, so I say we should forget about it. After all, we could always take our time and earn
the money that was lost even with half of our fortune gone. Furthermore, Matthew is way too cunning
and I can’t let you take that risk to deal with him!”
As she was moved by Wilson’s words, Minerva grew even more grudgeful and resentful toward Matthew.
Then, she angrily wondered, “Hubby, we mustn’t let this slide and pretend as if nothing happened. Can’t
we do something to take the project back?”
Wilson pondered carefully before he replied, “Well, there is a way, but… Nope, let’s forget about it!”
Now that her interest was piqued, she eagerly asked, “Do you know a way to do it, Hubby? Speak your
mind then. After all, we’re now a family, so there is nothing for us to hide from each other unless you
don’t treat me as your family member.”
