Chapter 142: Chapter 142



.

Snuggled in Dolores’ arms, Simona seemed to have listened to him in a daze. She said sweetly, “Yes, I love you.”

She loved daddy.

But she had fallen fast asleep and didn’t go near him. Dolores covered her ears so she wouldn’t hear and gently patted her back to lull her to sleep.

Simona hummed and moaned, she pressed herself tighter into Dolores’ embrace.

Dolores hugged her tightly.

Matthew rolled onto his side, his gaze resting on Simona’s small, soft hand touching Dolores’ breast.

Though he couldn’t touch her, he could feel what it would be like just by looking. A storm of emotions raged in his heart.

Sensing Matthew’s burning gaze, Dolores pulled the quilt to cover Simona’s hand and then closed her eyes pretending to sleep.

She wasn’t sleepy now, but she didn’t want Matthew to touch her, so she pretended to sleep.

Matthew sighed, silently cursing his bitter life.

Even though they were legally married, he couldn’t touch her.

He rolled over to lie on his back and looked up at the ceiling light with a deep stare, unable to hide the throbbing.

Dolores actually fell asleep as she pretended to do so, but Mathew tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly he sat up and looked sideways at the mother and daughter.

He said with bitterness in his heart, “Are they here especially to make my life miserable? It’s as if I killed your family in the last life so that both of you are here in this life to torture me.”

He was a healthy man and had not touched a woman in a long time. Of course, his body was going to react when he saw Dolores lying there.

He sighed and got up to take a shower, hoping to dispel the evil fire in his body.

He didn’t sleep until dawn.

When he awoke, Dolores had already gone to the store to make final preparations for tomorrow’s opening.

Matthew left without eating the breakfast Coral had prepared.

Coral wanted to take Samuel to the grocery store and asked Jessica if it was okay with her, “I’ll keep him safe and the driver will come with us.”

They all lived together and Jessica couldn’t say no, “His head wound hasn’t healed yet, so come back soon.”

“Okay. Do you need anything? I’ll buy it.” Coral smiled happily.

“No.” Jessica smiled back.

Samuel was sitting on the couch watching Coral. He flinched as his round eyes widened. He knew perfectly well that he was hurt, but he still wanted to take him to the supermarket?

Why did it seem suspicious to her?

Coral had thought about it since the night before, that after Dolores and Matthew left for work, she was going to take Samuel to Jaden’s house.

She felt uncomfortable not knowing if these children were Matthew’s or not.

This issue was stuck in her mind and she couldn’t sleep or eat well.

“I’m ready, let’s go.” Coral smiled, “You still have a head wound, let me hold you.”

“No, I can walk by myself.” Samuel wanted to see what Coral was doing.

He had only been living here a short time, but he was sure she wasn’t a bad person and wouldn’t be dangerous.

“Okay.” Coral led him into the hallway to help him change his shoes and then took him out.

The driver asked, “Are you going to the grocery store?”

“No. We’re going to the mansion.”

The driver looked back at her and then at Samuel, seeming to understand her intentions. Then he turned his head back and drove in silence.

Samuel deliberately asked, “What is the mansion?”

“It’s your grandfather’s house.” Coral was unconsciously sure it was Matthew’s children.

She felt that Dolores was not that kind of easy woman.

If she had a man, then why would she be with Matthew?

Samuel understood that the mansion was the soulless man’s father’s house.

He felt calmer now.

“By the way, do you know why my mother divorced him?” he never addressed Matthew with anything other than him or you.

Because in his heart, even though Matthew was his father, he was still abandoning his mother and sister. He didn’t want to acknowledge that.

That’s why she only called him using pronouns.

Coral’s face darkened a little. Thinking about Matthew’s attitude at the time of the divorce, it was a little hard to talk about. After all, Samuel was a child and would be sad to know such a thing.

“Please tell me.” Samuel tugged at his sleeve acting like a stubborn child, “Please, please!”.

Coral had no choice, “Your father had a girlfriend at the time…so…”

“He was married and had a girlfriend?” Samuel knew there must be a reason behind the divorce, but he had never expected it to be cheating.What girlfriend? Just call her a mistress. He thought.

Samuel said angrily, “Men are shit!”.

Coral was amused by his words and asked, “Aren’t you a man too?”. Samuel gaped.

“I’m still a boy and I’ll never become like Dad. He’s a heartless cheater who abandoned his wife.”

Coral’s eyes widened, did she know Matthew was her father?

Were Jessica and Dolores deliberately keeping it from Matthew?

Was it some sort of payback for the divorce? Not telling Matthew that the children in front of him were his?

“You…you know he’s your father?”

“Of course! He’s Mom’s ex-husband, so he has to be our father.” Mom has never had a boyfriend since the divorce.” Samuel said solemnly and confidently.

Coral reached out to pat him gently on the head, “You’re a good boy, Samuel. You’ve been through a lot.”

He could clearly understand how hard it would have been for her to raise two children alone.

“We didn’t suffer. We had Mom and Grandma.” Samuel’s expression slowly fell into sadness. There used to be an uncle, too, but now he was gone.

Coral let out a long sigh, “Your father will suffer the consequences.”

It was all his doing, now if he found out that his children had grown up so much, she didn’t know how he would react.

Maybe this was his punishment for abandoning them.

The car soon stopped in front of the Nelson Mansion. Coral helped Samuel out of the car.

Standing in front of the building, Samuel blinked. This mansion was very large; the villa they lived in was also large, but it was relatively inconspicuous. This one was clearly magnificent.

Coral smiled, “Let me take you inside.”

Samuel hesitated a little. Mom still hadn’t told him about his father, was she still angry with his father?

He had just arrived like this, was his mother going to be angry when she found out?

“What are you thinking?” Coral looked at their confused expressions and smiled, “Don’t be afraid, you’re their grandson. I’m sure they like you.”

“Really?” Samuel began to get a little excited.

His little heart was beating nervously.

He had always been looking forward to meeting his relatives, but this was all so sudden that it caught him off guard.

“Really!” Coral took him by the hand, “Let’s go inside.”

Walking, Samuel felt like a soulless puppet quietly following Coral.

When she pressed the bell on the huge door, Thomas was watering the grass. He heard the bell and opened the peephole. When he saw Coral standing there, he was surprised because when Mrs. Nelson had died, Matthew had moved out of the house. At that time, he was still in high school and Coral had moved in with him to take care of him.

Matthew didn’t like coming back here, so she was also rarely seen.

Why did she come here all of a sudden, and who was the boy standing next to her?

He looked like…

Thomas opened the door, left the shower and went in to talk to Jayden.
