Chapter 193: Chapter 193



.

“I’ve never been in a relationship. Anyway, do you still need to know ‘that?” He already had a wife and kids.

Maintain a relationship?

With whom?

Boyce’s eyes went wide: “Are you…?”

But Boyce thought he wasn’t that kind of playboy. He was anxious when Dolores was lost, he must love her very much.

Matthew frowned, he remembered Dolores’ sharp eyesight. He really wanted to please her.

Boyce looked at him and asked carefully, “Is she reluctant to do it?”. Matthew gave him a cold look back.

Dolores was reluctant, Matthew couldn’t tell her, could he?

Otherwise she would laugh at Matthew.

Boyce snapped, “You should ask Armand how to please a woman.”

Ding!

At that moment, the elevator returned to its original position. The elevator door opened.

In the lobby, Dolores did not go to the VIP lounge and stayed talking to Charles. Matthew stayed away from them, unable to hear what they were talking about. He changed his expression as he watched them chat.

He walked forward. Boyce slowed his pace and kept his distance from him.

Matthew looked annoyed, Boyce didn’t dare approach him.

When Charles saw Dolores bring the two children, he gasped.

She said she was married and had given birth to the children, was that true?

“Why didn’t you come back?” Dolores hadn’t expected to run into him.

Charles said truthfully, “I was expecting you.”

“What for?” asked Dolores.

Charles had intended to find out about the relationship between Dolores and Matthew. But at the moment, he knew his speculations were wrong. She was married. He was depressed, but smiled, “We’re meant to be, aren’t we?”

Dolores didn’t understand why he said it.

Indeed, he saw Dolores jumping into the river at that moment. She asked people to save her out of humanity. She did not want to waste a life in this world.

After saving her, he saw the jade bracelet in her hand, thought she was Victoria’s daughter and took her home. Later, Sampson could not find her.

To fulfill her adoptive father’s last wish, he did not allow Dolores to contact her relative. He only asked her to stay at his home. Since he would marry her, they should spend more time together.

So he would not allow Dolores to contact her family.

He would allow her to go to his house after they got acquainted, then he would try to win her over because they were friends at that time and knew each other well.

But…

He made a terrible mistake. She was not Victoria’s daughter, instead, she was a married woman.

His gaze fell on the children Dolores was holding. They were adorable, they looked just like her and the man.

“May I ask how you got the jade bracelet?” If she was not Victoria’s daughter, how could she have gotten the jade bracelet?

What was the relationship between Victoria and Dolores?

Dolores didn’t know what the relationship was between Charles and Victoria.

He seemed to be interested in the jade bracelet.

She didn’t tell him honestly. She kept her attention on it.

“It may look the same as the one you see, but they are not the same.” Obviously, she was reluctant to tell him the truth.

Charles couldn’t help but look at the children and asked, “Are they going to eat?”

Dolores nodded.

“I know the delicious food here, can we eat together?” tried to ask Charles.

“No, we are waiting for our father,” Simona quickly turned him down.

The uncle who was sitting in a wheelchair, was not as handsome as his father.

Samuel responded differently. He never saw a more handsome and rich man than Matthew.

Although the man sitting in the wheelchair was not as handsome as Matthew, he had a positive look when he smiled.

Samuel felt sorry for him for being a crippled man.

If he wasn’t crippled, Samuel would have supported him in trying to win over his mother.

He wanted Matthew to know that his mother was lovely.

But he didn’t want a crippled man to go after his mother.

It wasn’t worthy.

Charles didn’t feel embarrassed after being rejected, he smiled at Simona, “I don’t mind eating with your father.”

The girl blinked, she showed a confused vision.

Why did the uncle want to be with them?

Just then, she saw Matthew walking towards them. She let go of Dolores’ hand and ran to him, “Daddy.”

Matthew bent down and picked her up.

Samuel also reacted quickly, “Uncle, you want to eat with us, don’t you? Let’s eat together.”

Samuel didn’t mind too much. Despite being a crippled man, Samuel wanted to let Matthew know that his mother was lovely, but he had never appreciated her.

Samuel would not let his father take them home easily.

His father had to be sincere and love his mother.

If not, he would not agree.

Charles looked at Dolores, did the boy seem to have a lot of thoughts?

Dolores looked at her son, she knew why he wanted to do this because he had been born for her. She reached out and stroked his head.

“I heard you saved my wife,” Matthew lifted Simona and walked towards them.

The sauce was better than the fish. Matthew seemed to tell Charles that Dolores was his wife and he should have no intention of taking her away from him.

“It was a regular thing, not worth mentioning,” Charles smiled.

Matthew took Dolores’ hand, his fingers were slender and smooth. His large palm could cover her whole hand. His deep voice was steady, “I don’t like to owe others anything. Mr. White, if you need anything, let me know.”

His words meant that he would take the responsibility of returning the token of appreciation to Charles rather than to his wife. He seemed to be telling Charles that, if he wanted any return, all he had to do was look for Matthew. Charles was not to think about Dolores.

Dolores looked at him. She felt a sense of warmth. He was considerate of her so that she did not owe Charles a favor.

It was hard to return someone’s token of appreciation.

No matter what Charles’ intention was in the beginning, he had actually saved her life.

Charles’s eyes rested on the hand that held Dolores’s for a while. Then he regained his attention. He knew what Matthew was referring to. He looked at Dolores’ heel and asked, “Why are you wearing heels? Don’t you know your leg injury hasn’t recovered yet?” She was too excited to see her children, so she wasn’t worried about her legs. Besides, her legs felt better now.

“I’m fine.”

Matthew’s expression changed and he didn’t look as calm as he did now. He didn’t know his legs were injured.

He grabbed her hand, “We should go now.”

“The VIP room is over there,” Boyce was smart. The place belonged to Charles, but he couldn’t use his power.

“In here, Mr. White,” Boyce waved.

Charles looked at him and said, “Come on.” Tom pushed the wheelchair.

Boyce had reserved the largest VIP room in the hotel. The dining table in the middle could seat twenty people. The room was spacious and bright.

Simona knelt on his lap and hugged his neck face to face, “Dad, when are we eating?”

Matthew pinched his daughter’s tender face and spoke.

As he spoke, he looked to the back of the table. He saw Dolores’ legs, her ankles had no obvious scars.

Where had she hurt herself?

As they waited for lunch, Charles spoke to Dolores, “Are you free tomorrow, can I take you to see the teacher?”
