Chapter 438: Chapter 438



.

Dolores Flores knew that if there wasn’t a good enough reason, she wouldn’t be able to convince Boyce Shawn. The reason she chose to send him the message was because she could trust him, and she also believed she could keep it a secret.

“I’m going to go see Charles White.” She had been to Charles’ house last time, and she knew the hotel where he resided.

Boyce twisted the corner of his eyes; he clearly knew how Matthew Nelson hated Charles so much.

“Boyce, considering you and Matthew have been brothers for a long time, what do you think I should do?” Actually, Dolores was conflicted within herself.

She was afraid that, through her own selfishness, she would make Matthew regret it.

After all, Victoria Forbis was his mother.

Boyce was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“I mean, if Victoria is Matthew’s real mother, should I tell him?” She stared at Boyce’s face, for she wanted an answer that would calm her down.

“How is that possible? It’s totally impossible.” Boyce refused to believe it.

This was unthinkable.

Victoria was Matthew’s mother?

Stop making these kinds of jokes.

“What I’m saying is true. If it’s true, should I tell you?” Dolores’ expression and voice clearly did not seem to be joking. Boyce then fell silent.

After a moment, Boyce spoke slowly, “I don’t know, but I think it would probably be difficult to deal with. Tell him that the person he’s resented for a long time is actually his real mother? What kind of behavior and state of mind should he use to deal with this issue?”

He turned his head toward Dolores, “Is this real?”

She felt this was too strange; Victoria was Matthew’s mother?

“The marriage of Jolene Harris and Jayden Nelson is between two clans, have you heard of this?” Dolores pursed her lips and her voice sounded gravelly.

She sensed that fate was playing tricks on people.

“I had heard of it.”

“That time, Jolene liked someone else, and she had no feelings for Jayden. After the wedding, the two were respectful and kind to each other as close friends, and had no body contact. Jolene felt sorry for Jayden, so she wanted to find a woman to be with him.”

“That woman is Victoria?” Boyce just felt shocked. How could there be such a thing.

Was she looking for a woman for her husband?

Was it just because he didn’t like her?

“You probably know the strength of the Harris family. Jolene wanted to give this child a legitimate identity, so she lied. No one in the Harris family knew, and only those involved knew the truth.” He did not elaborate on the details of the matter.

Boyce didn’t know what to say.

“But why are you going to see Charles? Don’t tell me this affair has anything to do with Charles?” Boyce thought this old affair had to do with a lot of people.

“Since you’ve been to White City, you may have some idea of Charles’ life story. He’s Nathan White’s adopted son, while Nathan was Victoria’s first love…. That time, Jeffery Harris discovered the relationship between Victoria and Jayden, and felt that Victoria was the third party destroying his sister’s marriage…”

Somehow, Boyce had figured it all out. That time in White City and Kevin Forbis and the watered gauze were connected to the Forbis family.

“Charles had found the doctor who delivered Victoria’s baby. His goal is to join forces with Matthew and take down Jeffery. His foster father was harmed by Jeffery when he was alive.” Dolores explained.

“You don’t want Matthew to know about this?” even though it was a question, she had a positive mood.

Dolores clasped her hands together; she felt uncomfortable from the ambivalence, “I think it’s unfair to him, as he has to face the consequences of things done by the past generation. If Jeffery knows the truth, I don’t know how things will end up.”

“The hatred Jeffery has for Victoria, don’t you see it from your perspective? When they’re around each other, he’s like a lunatic. If he knew the truth…”

Wasn’t it obvious? Things would get crazy.

“I don’t know. And if he knew, would he be mad at me?” Dolores choked a little, as this matter posed a difficult problem for her.

“Remember your original intention. About future things, just think about them in the future. I think Matthew will understand why you are doing this. Perhaps, this secret will be buried as time goes by.” Boyce pulled the car over to the side of the road. He didn’t know how to comfort Dolores, so he passed her a tissue.

Dolores didn’t take it; she wiped the corners of her eyes, “I’m fine.”

It wasn’t for herself, but she felt bad for Matthew.

Boyce looked at her face. She was always thin, even when she was pregnant; she didn’t put on any weight at all and looked very weak. However, when she did things, she didn’t look like she couldn’t handle her difficulty.

She and Victoria were very close; perhaps it was because they knew this horrendous past.

Now, Charles brought this matter back, but she still dealt with it calmly, and minimized the damage caused by this matter.

If she thought about this incident coolly, then it would be better for everyone, no matter what perspective they see it from.

If Matthew’s parentage was revealed, would he be considered an illegitimate child?

Not only would he be judged by others of his identity, but also how could he accept being deceived for a long time?

Should he hate himself or hate those who deceived him?

If the truth came out, which everyone would be in an uproar about, what might change? Who would benefit from it?

Boyce reactivated the car and drove, “Somehow I understand why Matthew likes you.”

His voice was low, and Dolores didn’t hear him clearly, “Hmm?”

“Nothing.” Boyce concentrated on driving the car.

Soon they arrived at the hotel. Boyce stopped the car and got out. He went to Dolores’ side, grabbed the wheelchair from the back and helped her out of the car.

Boyce pushed her to the elevator. When they reached that floor, she turned her gaze to Boyce, “Wait here for me.”

“Let me come in with you.” He was worried as Charles knew her thoughts; he was also the one who had brought her here, so he had to ensure her safety.

“All right then.” Anyway, he knew and there was nothing to hide.

When they reached the door to the room, Boyce rang the doorbell. Quickly, the door opened. Charles was not at all surprised when he saw Dolores.

She had purposely interrupted him by the hospital, and he knew she wouldn’t want Matthew to find out.

Charles had anticipated that Dolores would come, so he let Tom go back to his room.

He looked at Boyce, “I want to talk to Dolores in private.”

“Her body now is still not well; I have to keep an eye on her.” Boyce’s attitude was clear and stern.

Charles laughed, “You are able to come with her, so presumably you know what this is about. You have to understand that the initiative is mine. I can choose not to argue.”

Boyce’s look changed.

“Boyce, it’s okay. You stay by the door. If anything comes up, I’ll call you.” Dolores looked at him and shook her head to keep him from being impetuous, “He wouldn’t do anything to me.”

Boyce glanced at Charles, and turned and walked out of the room.

Charles closed the door and looked at Dolores. He made no effort to hide his feelings for her, “Tell me, do you think I should be happy or sad.”
