I had been translating documents for Matthew at the company during this period and knew the new project was taking place in Country A. Also, the project was taking place in YL City, the place where he had been living for eight years when he was overseas last time.
These were not the most important things.
What was important was that on the night she prostituted herself to get the money for her brother and motherâs operation, she bit the man because it hurt too much since it was her first time. At the request of the woman who introduced her to this way of getting money, no light could be turned on in the room, so the room was dark from the time she entered.
She could not see what the man looked like. But according to the situation at the time, the place where she bit the man was his right shoulder.
Was that a coincidence?
He couldnât help but take a step back.
If it was a coincidence, how could it be so coincidental?
Besides, one thing she knew from the translated documents was that Matthew had gone to Country A two months ago.
If it was true, thenâ¦
Her hand couldnât help but cover her belly.
Was her child his?
After this thought, Dolores was also surprised.
Matthew felt that someone was obviously watching him. What was this woman doing?
He pretended he had just woken up and slowly opened his eyes. He thought Dolores was watching him in his sleep, but what he saw was a pair of eyes blurred with tears.
He was puzzled. She was crying.
Matthew woke up too suddenly so Dolores didnât have time to dodge his gaze. She turned her face in panic and ran quickly out of the room.
Her movement was too fast and this affected the wound on her knee. He didnât care about the pain but ran straight into the room and closed the door.
He leaned against the door panel. His mood was still one of shock.
It was a long time before he calmed down a bit.
Although all indications were that the person that night could be Matthew, there was still the possibility that it was just a coincidence.
It had to be, it had to be a coincidence.
No, it couldnât be true.
Slowly she regained her composure and headed to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes. Then he went back to bandaging the wound on his knee.
Upstairs, Matthew was in a trance for several seconds. Just now, the woman was⦠crying?
Why was she crying, why was she running?
He sat up and scrunched his eyebrows together. Even though she was tricked last night, he didnât do anything to her, why was she showing that expression?
Thinking about what happened last night, her eyes darkened. She grabbed her phone from the table and made a call to Abbott, âI donât want to see the Flores Group again!â.
âUnderstood.â Abbott could roughly guess what had happened in the Flores Family the night before and, therefore, knew that Matthew was obligated to give such an order.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew tossed the phone aside. As he lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, he realized that all that remained of his entire body was a pair of boxer shorts.
Last night⦠he closed his eyes.
It seemed that it was Dolores who helped him change his clothes while he was dazzled.
That womanâ¦
Matthew always felt she was like a mystery because when he discovered something, there was still another thing about her to be revealed.
Knock knockâ¦
Just after the knock sounded, Coralâs voice was heard, âYoung Master, are you awake? Breakfast is ready.â
Matthew answered and got out of bed to wash and shower. He put on clean clothes and went downstairs.
Dolores was already in the dining room. She had changed her clothes and her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, which meant that what he saw was an illusion.
Her pace slowed slightly. He descended the stairs in slippers one step at a time.
Dolores put a bowl of porridge with a light taste in front of him, âEat something that tastes light in the morning, itâs good for your stomach.â
Matthew sat down. He showed her respect and spooned a spoonful of porridge into his mouth. It was indeed light, as it had only little taste.
Dolores lowered her head, âIndeed, I was too careless last night, I didnât expect Beulah to do something like that.â
Matthew raised his eyes and sketched a smile. His shiny white teeth beckoned, âIâve seen a lot of shameless people but people who can be as shameless as the members of the Flores Family are very rare.â This sentence meant that he scolded all people with the surname Flores. Dolores lowered her head. Her last name was also surnamed Flores.
âHmm⦠I want to ask for a leave of absence.â Dolores raised her head. She had to go to the hospital since she hadnât been to see her mother at the hospital in the last few days.
Besides, she had to cash that check and put it on her bank card. Her mother might need money for a long time, so the money would be very important to her.
In addition, there was the medical bill that Sampson had helped him pay off last time and the previous ones that needed to be paid back.
Matthew took the gruel and asked casually without raising his head, âHas something happened?â
Dolores nodded, âI have to go see my mother.â
Matthew emitted a slight um signifying his agreement.
After breakfast, Matthew went to the company as usual. Dolores helped Coral clear the table. Coral took the bowl from Doloresâ hand, âYou donât need to help me, go rest.â
What?
Rest in the morning?
Coral looked at her and said in a serious tone, âYouâve already married into the Nelson Family. Last nightâ¦youâre a legitimate wife; donât let someone else have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.â Dolores blushed-what was Coral thinking?
Even though she and Matthew slept in the same room last night, nothing had happened.
Coral definitely wouldnât believe it.
Dolores nodded helplessly.
Coral was still supporting Dolores even though she wasnât happy with Doloresâ behavior earlier.
âI think Young Master may not sincerely like Miss White. Keep it up, you can definitely be adored by Young Master.â
Dolores frowned, âHow do you know that Matthew doesnât sincerely like Helen?â.
âMiss White has been following Young Master for a long time, but Young Master does not fall in love with her. Two months ago, after returning from abroad, Young Master suddenly admitted his identity. Until now I still canât understand why, how come he suddenly falls in love with her?â Coral still could not understand what the reason was.
Dolores, on the other hand, was trembling â two months ago?
She calmed down and asked as if nothing had happened, âYou said Matthew didnât like Helen before, but after he came back from a business trip two months ago, he suddenly gave her girlfriend status?â
Coral nodded, âYes, the Young Master is not a sentimental person. Itâs abnormal for him to suddenly admit it, maybe something happened.â
Dolores contemplated. Helenâs animosity toward her seemed to be very intense.
Was it just because she had married Matthew, or was there a hidden truth?
She couldnât find out just by thinking for a while, so she could only go to the hospital to see her mother first. Before going to the hospital, she cashed the check, took out the amount she needed, and saved the rest. Then she went to the hospital and paid the medical bills. The nurse took her to see Jessica.
Jessica was locked in a small room with nothing in it. There was only a bed and a table with a plastic cup with half a glass of water on it.
Some psychiatric patients would injure themselves without consciousness. So, before entering, the nurse also checked her body, as she was not allowed to bring in any dangerous objects.
Jessica was wearing a blue hospital gown. She was crouched at the side of the bed, mumbling something.
Dolores could not clearly hear what she was saying and opened the door. Seeing Dolores enter, Jessica raised her head and was stunned for two seconds, âLola.â
Even though it was just a simple phrase, Doloresâ eyes reddened and she was on the verge of tears. She rushed forward and hugged Jessica, âMom.â
Jessica reached out and stroked Doloresâ hair, âWhy did you come alone, why didnât you bring Jeremy to see me? I havenât seen him in a long time.â
