Helen glared at her. “I know that this is your bed! I’m just moving it down for an experiment to prove Matthew wrong. Look at how anxious you are. I’m your mother after all, so why would I take your things?”
Sasha was rendered speechless by Helen. When a parent decided to be unreasonable, you just couldn’t do anything about that.
Soon, Liam dashed up excitedly.
He knew that he definitely wouldn’t have the chance to sleep on this bed but as long as Matthew couldn’t enjoy the bed either, he felt satisfied.
Meanwhile, James came up too and while he walked around the bed, he nodded in satisfaction.
“Nice! Alright, move it downstairs then. We’ll move our bed up after this,” smiling, James said.
Helen was standing at the side, commanding Liam and Matthew to move the bedside cupboard first.
Despite feeling helpless, Matthew had no choice but to do as Helen instructed.
Unexpectedly, they realized that the bedside cupboard was actually connected to the bed when they started to move it.
Most importantly, they couldn’t figure out how the cupboard was connected to the bed so they couldn’t dismantle it either.
Even worse, when they tried to lift the bed, both of them found that the bed was attached to the wall so they couldn’t move it.
Helen and James’ initial happiness disappeared into thin air upon seeing this situation, and they were stunned.
“What bed is this? Why is it attached to the wall? Liam, try to find out how to dismantle the bed so that we can move it downstairs,” Helen instructed.
After inspecting the bed for a long time, Liam shook his head helplessly. “Mom, I honestly can’t figure out how this works. Why don’t you and dad sleep without it for tonight? I’ll ask a few of my friends over tomorrow to move this bed downstairs.”
Matthew replied, “I understand but, they haven’t stepped on my bottom line yet.”
Sasha anxiously questioned, “They haven’t stepped on your bottom line even after what they did? Matthew, d-do you actually have a bottom line?”
Looking at Sasha, Matthew softly replied, “You are my bottom line.”
Upon hearing that, Sasha was instantly stunned.
Matthew added softly, “I don’t mind how they treat me, and I know that they dislike me and are biased. Therefore, I’ll turn a deaf ear to them. The only thing that I can’t stand is them mistreating you. I honestly don’t mind how they treat me, but no one can bully you! That’s my bottom line!”
Looking at Matthew, Sasha’s eyes turned red. Then, she suddenly threw herself into Matthew’s arms and wept.
“You’re a fool, a big fool! How many good deeds did I do in my past life to be able to meet a fool like you?”
