Chuckling, Sean said, "It's hard to be so sure when it comes to feelings. Furthermore, what you have now isn't considered family, Dr. Larson, because you married into the Cunningham Family when you were at your worst. Also, I heard that the Cunninghams aren't very kind to you. Actually, I think that you've done a lot for them and you should have called it quits with them a long time ago. Since that's the case, why should you continue to be their live-in son-in-law? It will only ruin your reputation if word gets out!"

Matthew frowned as he already roughly knew where this was going. "Thank you for your reminder, Mr Cosby, but Sasha and I really love each other, and she's the woman I love the most in my life. So, I won't call it quits with her. As long as she's willing and I'm still around, I'll stay by her side until the end of my life," he said.

A cold look washed over Sean's face. So, he's turning me down now? "Dr. Larson, don't you find it an embarrassment to be a live-in son-in-law given your talents and reputation?"

With a wave of his hand, Matthew said, "When I was at my worst, they were the ones who helped me out, and it was also my wife who never left my side when I was nothing. Not to mention that I don't have any great achievements now, but even if I do, I'll never be an ungrateful jerk!"

Embarrassed, Sean waved his hand and said, "You must be joking, Dr. Larson. How is this considered as an ungrateful act? I'm just saying that you deserve a better choice. Think about it, if you become my son-in-law, your identity and status will be completely different from now. In the Six Southern States, even Master Levi himself has to show you some respect!"

"No matter how many trees there are in this world, there's only one for me," Matthew said. "Maybe in your eyes, my wife will never be as good as many other women in this world, but in my heart, she's the most perfect person in this world and my everything! Moreover, a man should work for his own identity and status instead of getting it through a woman. Don't you think so?"

Immediately, awkwardness crept over Sean. Initially, he thought that Matthew would agree right away if he just pointed out a few things. He didn't even imagine that not only did Matthew turn him down, he was even lectured.

At Matthew's words, Sean didn't know how he should rebut for a moment.

After a while, he laughed awkwardly. "Dr. Larson, you're not a regular person indeed. It's a good thing for a man to have dignity. Ho-ho, have a good rest, Dr. Larson."

Rising to his feet, Sean left the guest room and quickly returned to Wilfred's room. After Wilfred heard the things Matthew said, he looked a little awkward, but more impressed. "This young man is extraordinary, indeed!" Wilfred lamented.

Disgruntled, Sean grumbled, "Extraordinary? I think he's just being diplomatic. It's all because he has never seen Tristen in ladies' clothing and thinks of her as a tomboy. That's why he doesn't want to marry her! Hmph! If Tristen dresses up properly and he sees it, I don't believe that he won't be attracted to her!"

Wilfred furrowed his brows a little. "Sean, I think Matthew isn't such a superficial person!"

"Every man loves a beautiful woman," Sean argued. "Tristen has been dressing in men's clothes all these years, so nobody knows how pretty she is, but I can guarantee you that if she dolls up properly, she'll definitely be one of the prettiest amongst the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay. No, I'll get her to dress up tomorrow. I believe that Matthew will be attracted once he sees her!"
