Chapter 315: Chapter 315

Dolores looked down, even if she gave birth to Matthew, she had missed the period when he needed care and love the most.

Matthew was not even close to her at that time.

Victoria was very regretful in her life, it was pitiful and great at the same time.

If it were her, she couldn’t do it.

“Give Matthew more advice, tell him not to think about it anymore.” Marina sighed, “Actually, I also understand it, if it hadn’t been a month since my mother passed away and my father marries someone else, I might hate her more, maybe even stab her with a knife… such a matter, if it doesn’t happen to you then you can’t understand it, say you pity, can you really pity? No, only men can keep calm, even if Matthew and Jayden’s relationship was rigid these years, but in the end he did nothing out of line, such indifference, just can’t let it go, as his wife, you should enlighten him.”

Dolores softly said yes.

Some of what Marina was saying was true, you could not sympathize with that issue, you could never feel what the person involved felt, only those who had lived through the same thing could experience that state of mind.

After listening to Victoria’s problem, she continued to look at the problem from Victoria’s point of view and gave advice to Matthew.

But he did not look at the problem from Matthew’s point of view.

He didn’t know that Victoria was his mother, the previous turns, he didn’t even know the sacrifices Victoria had made for him.

So she should also look at the problem from his point of view.

“We’ll be back now.”

The door to the study room opened, Matthew and Jeffery came out one by one.

“I’ll take them home,” Jeffery said.

Matthew refused, saying it was cold outside, the car was just across the street, they could get in the car after they got out.

Watching them leave, Dolores got up from the couch, Matthew approached, “Let’s go home.”

Dolores nodded.

“It’s still early, why don’t you stay a little longer?”. Marina restrained them.

“No, it’s getting late.” Dolores really wanted to know what Jeffery and Matthew were talking about.

Marina agreed out of politeness, she could see that Dolores did want to leave, “Come visit if you have time.”

“I’ll visit when there’s a chance.” Dolores put the jacket on her two sons, Marina came over and helped her, “Tomorrow is the new year.”

“After the new year, I’ll be a year older.” Simona blinked as she spoke tenderly.

Marina was amused, “Yes, you’ll be a year older again, when you’re grown up, I’ll be old.”

“You’re not old,” Simona said.

Marina smiled broadly and praised, “You’re sweet talking.”

Jeffery came over at that moment and handed the two children two red packets.

“It’s your first time here, here’s our first meeting gift, New Year’s money, I’ll give you more when you come again.”

“No need.” Dolores didn’t think it was right, the red packet seemed very thick, she could see that although Jeffery was very extreme about the Jolene matter, he was a straight and good leader.

“I gave it to the kids, besides, it’s the first time they’ve come to my house, it’s a tradition and my good intention.” Jeffery liked the tone of speaking of the elders.

Marina also agreed: “Keep it, make the children happy, I have nothing prepared for the children.”

Dolores told the children to thank Jeffery.

“Thank you Jeffery,” the two children said at the same time.

“Yeah, sure.” Jeffery patted Samuel’s head, “Eat well, when you are grown up it will be easier to come with me and be a soldier.”

“Yes.” Samuel nodded vigorously, he looked like he was really interested in being a soldier.

Marina and Jeffery stood by the door and escorted them out.

The car sped off, Dolores sat next to Matthew, she could faintly smell the alcohol on his body.

At the end, Dolores couldn’t help but ask, “What did they talk about in the study room?”.

It seemed Matthew had predicted she would ask, but she hadn’t expected him to ask so eagerly.

He leaned back and gave her a serious look.

Dolores was annoyed by his stare, she blinked, “Why are you looking at me like that, am I not supposed to ask?”

“Yes.”

Dolores’ heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the change in Dolores’ expression, Matthew sighed and hugged her.

“I’ll tell you when we get home.”

Dolores leaned into his embrace, thought about it and said, “I’m sorry I advised you to accept Victoria, I didn’t take your feelings into account.”

Matthew looked down, rather surprised, from the good kind of surprise, then hugged her tighter.

“Should we change their last name?” Dolores asked suddenly.

She’d heard Boyce say before that the kids should change their last name, at the time she didn’t care…this time, Jeffery had such a big reaction, she thought maybe changing their last name was the right thing to do.

After all, she had accepted him and that family.

“Why should we do it?” Matthew didn’t think it was a problem.

“If we don’t, don’t they belong to the Flores Family?” Actually, Dolores didn’t want their last name Flores, she had no choice.

“They are ours, nothing to do with the Flores Family.” Matthew never thought they belonged to the Flores Family because their last name was Flores, to him, the two children belonged to Dolores, she was pregnant for 10 months, she took them in, no one was qualified to replace her.

Dolores grabbed his shirt collar, “Now we are husband and wife, what will others think when our children follow my last name?”, she purposely grabbed his hair, “Won’t others think you are a married man and live in your wife’s family, that’s why our children follow my last name?”.

“Naughty.” He laughed hoarsely and kissed her earlobe, “I’ll be willing, if I can marry you to that.”

Dolores pulled away immediately, there was the driver in front, but she didn’t hold back.

She smiled even more.

At the hospital.

It was already afternoon when Theresa woke up.

“Are you hungry?” Armand had put on clean clothes and went back to the hospital, seeing that she still hadn’t woken up, he just kept an eye on her.

He didn’t even go down to buy some food at noon, he told the house servants to send her something, Mistress Leslie couldn’t eat outside food.

Theresa slept for quite a while, she was a bit groggy…. She got up from the couch, sitting up straight, it took her a while to get her mind back, she rubbed her eyes and looked at Armand, her brain cleared up, she wanted to leave, but Mistress Leslie suddenly had a congestion of the brain, so she accompanied her to the hospital….

She got up from the couch, “I should go.”

Armand squeezed her hand, pretending not to hear her, “You’ve slept so long, aren’t you hungry?”

Theresa shook her head, “No,” she looked at him, “We…let’s finish up here.” Was she that heartless?

Armand stood up and shrugged, “You can go, but you must compensate me for the emotional damage because you slept with me.”

Theresa was speechless.

Her expression changed in an instant.

He was still fooling around as usual!

“How much do you want?” Theresa reached for her purse and pulled out her wallet.

Armand smiled, “How much am I worth?”

He thought about it, “500,000.”

He figured Theresa couldn’t give him that much money, and if she couldn’t, he’d have a reason to keep her.

“You thought you were royalty? You’re not worth that much!” Theresa was about to scream, “Why don’t you just steal from me instead!

Her remaining rationality told her that she was in the hospital and it would be very impolite to do so, so she didn’t yell.

He couldn’t hold her back with the gentle way, she had no heart.

She acted arrogant and uncaring, “You should know better if I am worth that much or not, that is my price, if you can’t give me the money then stay as my wife.”

Theresa was so angry that she smiled, pulled a card out of her wallet and threw it in his face, “Don’t show up in front of me anymore!”.

Armand was a bit dumbfounded, unexpectedly she could give him the money.

She was only Dolores’ assistant, how could she have so much savings?
