Chapter 478: Chapter 478



.

Oscar didn’t immediately say how old he was. Instead, he looked at him and asked, “How old do you think I am?”.

He straightened his shirt collar and adjusted his facial expression as he spoke. He wanted to look as young as possible.

Samuel Flores blinked and deliberately said a younger age, “Thirty?”.

Haha Oscar laughed out loud. He was delighted with these words.

Simona Flores, who was standing next to Dolores Flores, changed her expression again and again. Then she finally looked at her brother with an amused face. Wouldn’t it hurt to tell such a lie?

Thirty?

Twice thirty was better.

“You’re good at this, kid, but thirty is too young. Say forty next time, since men supposedly become mature and successful at forty.”

Samuel looked at him silently, but he was rolling his eyes in his mind. How could there be such a shameless person? Mature and successful? He looked more like an old scumbag.

Oscar didn’t continue to tease Samuel. He looked at Dolores seriously and said respectfully, “I’m Oscar.”

As he spoke, he took a leather wallet out of his pocket to show her his identity papers, “This is my identity card, my driver’s license…”

However, Dolores did not take them. She just glanced at them. The words “Oscar” were indeed written on them, so she apologized for her distrust from earlier, “I’m sorry about earlier. I’m being more careful since I have two children with me. Please forgive me.”

Oscar quickly waved his hand, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s go upstairs. This is not a place where we can talk.”

Dolores nodded and followed him into the elevator while holding the two children.

After Oscar pushed the button for the floor, she lowered her head to look at Samuel, “What should I call you?”

“My name is Andrew Nelson,” Andrew pointed to his younger sister, “This is my younger sister. Her name is Amanda Nelson.” Her last name was Nelson?

He seemed to remember that was Jolene Harris’ husband’s husband’s family name.

He looked at Dolores and murmured, “Oh.” Then she continued, “You come from B-town, don’t you?”

Although it was a question, it already had an affirmative tone to it.

Dolores said, “Yes.”

Oscar dropped his cheeky expressions and became serious. At that moment, the elevator stopped and he got out first, “Come. This is the office area.” Dolores came down while holding the children.

Oscar led them into his own office and asked him directly, “You must have something you want to ask me, since you came looking for me.”

He opened an exquisite iron box on the table and took out a piece of cigarette. He put it in his mouth and lit it.

“Uhm, I’m sorry. I have something to ask. I’m a little grossed out by the smell of smoke, can I talk to you first?” Dolores frowned slightly. She was sensitive to the smell of smoke because of her pregnancy.

Oscar looked at her for a while, then looked at his cigarette he was about to light. Finally, he took it out of his mouth, stubbed it out and put it in the box. He made a posture suggesting “please” to Dolores, “Let’s sit down and talk.”

Dolores nodded. She patted her son on the shoulder and whispered, “Take your sister to play by the door. Don’t go too far away.”

Andrew thoughtfully took his little sister’s hand and walked out of the office.

As Oscar watched the two children leave, he also guessed Dolores’ identity.

Before Dolores could speak, he said, “The only one who knows my identity is probably Jolene’s daughter. At first I wanted to raise it for her after she gave birth to my friend’s daughter. However, she said she wanted to let the child grow up normally, so she didn’t give her to me.”

Her striking face seemed less impatient and became more firm. However, it was as if her addiction to cigarettes appeared. He wanted to reach for a cigarette, but stopped himself as he remembered that Dolores was repulsed by its smell, “I was just watching this place because she might come here someday. If she never comes here in this life, everything here will be donated after my death.”

I only existed to wait for a person I didn’t know if she would show up or not. After more than twenty years, she suddenly appeared.

As he looked at Dolores’ eyes and eyebrows, his eyes teared up slightly, “You look more like your father.”

Perhaps he felt more emotional as he talked about people and matters from long ago. He stood up as he felt ill at ease and uncomfortable in any posture.

Dolores took the locket out of her purse. She opened it and placed it on the table, “I came to find you because I wanted to know about them.”

She wanted to know what had happened with the death of Jolene and her father.

When Oscar saw what was on the table, he put his head down to take a look. After seeing what it was, he bent down and picked it up. He carefully studied what was inside and smiled, “My friend is still this handsome.”

Admiration and pity shone in his eyes.

He lifted his head and looked at Dolores, “Just know that this man is your father and he’s a good person. As for what happened before, I’ve already forgotten. It’s been too long.”

He put the locket down on the floor as he spoke. He deliberately changed the subject, since he obviously didn’t want to tell Dolores, “Did you just get to C-Town?” Her responsibility in life was to take care of her friend’s only child.

She did not want to mention the dark past. This was also Jolene’s wish. She told him at the time, “I want our daughter to have a normal life. I have already arranged everything for her.

Don’t try to find out her whereabouts. If nothing goes wrong, she may never show up.

If something goes wrong, just let her know that her father is a good man.”

Jolene thought she could successfully grow up as Jessica Lennon’s daughter and marry into the Nelson Family. Based on what she knew about the Nelson Family, her daughter would live a good life marrying into their family. If nothing went wrong, she would not come looking for Oscar.

This was what Jolene told him at the time.

This was also the reason why she stayed here to keep watch and never went to B-town to look for Dolores’ whereabouts.

Dolores could see that he was unwilling to say so, so she felt a little disappointed. She reached out to take the medallion and put it back in her bag. Then, she stood up, “I’m sorry to have bothered you today.”

Oscar smiled quickly and told her that he hadn’t bothered her, “You must have encountered some problems since you came looking for me. Go ahead and let me know.”

Dolores had just arrived in this city for the first time, so she was not familiar with it. She decided to come here with many considerations in mind. On the one hand, she wanted to hear from Jolene. For another, she didn’t want to be too far from Matthew Nelson. She also had something else very important to do.

He felt that perhaps this was his destiny. The Harris Family brought about the downfall of the Forbis Family. However, she had acquired the skills passed down from the Forbis Family ancestors. She wanted to keep busy while she was here.

“I want to live in this town. Those two children just now are my children. After some time, they will have reached the age to attend elementary school. If possible, I would like to ask you to help me find a good school in this city. I have just arrived, so everything here is new to me. Sorry to bother you.”

“No, I don’t mind. It’s no big deal. Leave everything to me,” Oscar immediately waved his hands. Then, he asked worriedly, “You brought the two children to meet me, but where is the father of your children?”

He asked indirectly. Although Jolene did not tell him directly how she had arranged for her son, she could guess a little after hearing the last name of those two children.

Dolores didn’t want to tell him. To be exact, she didn’t want to mention it to anyone.

Oscar was also an observant person. Obviously, Dolores didn’t want to talk about it, so she took the initiative and said, “It’s almost noon. Let’s go eat first and then I’ll arrange accommodations for you.”

Dolores said yes and went on to ask, “What should I call you?”.

He no longer looked young, so it might be impolite for her to call him directly by his name. However, she also didn’t dare call him hastily by any name.

“I’m your father’s friend. Call me uncle.” Oscar was back to his carefree, brash look.

After speaking, he explained again. “My name was originally Pedro. I later changed it to Oscar.”

He changed his name and retired here after that incident.
