Chapter 511: Chapter 511



.

Matthew Nelson was hugging her with one hand while with the other he stroked her back over and over again.

She was sweating and had the smell of sweat. The smell was faint and not unpleasant.

She moved closer to her daughter’s ear. Her voice was mixed with feelings of pain and mixed with the feeling of wanting to spoil her daughter. It was very soft: “You’ll get ugly if you keep crying.”

Amanda Nelson was very concerned about her appearance. She was complimented from a young age. She couldn’t bear to become ugly. Her face was still streaked with tears and she asked as she sobbed, “How will I look ugly?”

“You will become ugly if you keep crying.” Matthew reached out and his finger touched the corners of her eyes to wipe away the tears, “Simona is a good girl. Don’t cry anymore.”

He was used to calling her that. Even if her name was no longer Simona Flores, he liked to call her that.

Amanda sobbed. Her eyes were teary as she looked at Matthew. She sobbed as she asked, “Daddy, are you leaving us because you think I’m ugly?”

After she said that, her tears fell again. She finally had a daddy, but they had to separate again soon after. She missed her daddy a lot during this period of time. She cried sadly…

He felt sadder as he kept thinking about it.

Her words stabbed straight through Matthew’s heart. He had never thought he didn’t love them, as he felt heartbroken towards them. His forehead touched his daughter’s head as he kissed her nose and mouth, “No. Simona is not ugly. Simona is the prettiest child in the world. She is my darling daughter.”

“Daddy.” Amanda wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Her little face buried in his shoulder as she cried. Matthew patiently comforted her. He knew she felt wronged in her heart.

Oscar Adams stood completely stunned to the side. He stared at the man hugging Amanda. He thought in his mind. ‘What’s going on? This, this fool… No, is this man Amanda’s father?’

She lowered her head and looked at Andrew Nelson standing next to her. His gaze seemed to ask her what was going on.

He frowned and his expression seemed amused, ‘Is this man really your father?’

Andrew was very sure as he nodded, “Yes.” Oscar was speechless.

That day he saw him sitting and laughing like a fool, why was he doing that?

Oscar looked at Matthew again. Matthew also looked at him at the same time. Just now, as he pulled out of the neighborhood driveway, he saw Oscar watching the two children. ‘Who is he, what is the relationship between him and Dolores Flores.’

‘Dolores wouldn’t let someone who is not family take care of her kids. Right now he seemed very nervous and didn’t seem to be acting. He seems to be taking good care of the kids.’

Oscar laughed: ‘Hi. Why don’t you come in? I saw you laughing on the side of the road, I thought…”

He didn’t say the word ‘fool’. Matthew didn’t look like a fool after seeing all this.

Although he didn’t say it, Matthew knew he wasn’t going to say nice words. His voice wasn’t too high or too low, but it sounded like he was trying to probe him, “Who are you?”

He had never seen this person near Dolores nor had he ever heard of her having friends or relatives in C-Town.

He narrowed his eyes. ‘If you’re not related to Jolene. He could be…’

He had a guess in his mind. It wasn’t hard to understand the relationship between the people around Dolores. In the past, Jessica Lennon and Randolph Flores were her relatives. Now they were Jolene Harris and Stanley Lennon. Jolene’s relatives were in B-town. So, was this man related to Stanley?

Oscar smiled, “It’s a long story, why don’t we settle the matter and find a place to talk about it?”

Matthew said nothing. He agreed with him.

Oscar patted Andrew’s shoulder, “Be obedient. I’ll be right back.”

The driver who almost hit them was still standing there. He had to teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, he would be guilty if he hit someone recklessly next time.

“Okay.” Andrew nodded obediently. After Oscar left, Matthew looked at Andrew and asked, “How have you been doing lately?”

Andrew nodded. He looked a little down, “It’s fine. My sister and I are going to daycare. Mom is very busy and our life is pretty full.”

After saying that, he turned his head away. She seemed to feel bad in her heart.

Matthew touched his head, “Are you angry?”

Andrew moved his body and shook off Matthew’s hand. He said coldly, “No.”

“Are you jealous of your sister? Do you want me to hug you too?” Matthew knew what happened to him when he got angry.

Andrew didn’t admit, “I’m not!”

“Are you?”

“Yes.”

In fact, he was a little jealous. Matthew kept looking at his sister as if she had forgotten all about him.

This made him very unhappy.

Ah!

At that moment, a miserable shout was heard from the other place. It had stopped the confrontation between the duo. Oscar did not suppress his anger and punched the driver. His strength was strong and the driver was quickly taken down.

“Pay more attention next time. Otherwise, next time I won’t be so nice.” Oscar showed a cold face, “Get lost.”

The driver shuffled and climbed into the car.

Andrew looked at Oscar’s fierce expression and swallowed saliva. Oscar always displayed a childlike personality and loved to laugh and was very approachable. Because of this, Andrew became acquainted with him very quickly.

After getting along for two months, Andrew saw him being so violent for the first time. He couldn’t help but feel nervous. He seemed like a completely different person. When Oscar approached him, he unconsciously took a step back. Matthew bent his body to hold his hand. He held his small hand in his palm.

Matthew raised his head and looked at him. Andrew said nothing and did not let go of Matthew’s hand. It was felt that they should reconcile with each other.

“I know a quiet place, shall we go there and sit down?” said Oscar.

Matthew also wanted to find a place to be quiet with the children. It was no good staying on the side of the road.

“Then I’ll bother you.”

Oscar immediately waved his hands, “It’s no bother.”

He flashed the smiling, harmless look again, “It’s not far from here. Let’s walk over there.”

He walked to the front to lead the way. The place was a cafe. The place was very quiet because it had private rooms. Before entering the private room, Oscar asked the waiter to send two ice creams to the private room. Since it was hot, the café also served cold drinks.

The private room was not large but it was quiet. There was air conditioning in the room, so it was not hot. Matthew hugged his daughter and sat down. Oscar sat on the couch on the opposite side.

At that moment, the waiter pushed open the door and came in with two ice creams. The ice creams were placed in pretty glass cups. The ice creams were also very well made. After placing them on the table, the waiter asked, “Do you need anything else?”.

Matthew didn’t raise his head. He said quietly, “Give me a glass of cold water.”

The waiter smiled and said, “Okay.” Then the waiter looked at Oscar and asked, “Do you need anything?”

“I don’t need anything.” Oscar waved his hand.

The waiter continued to flash a smile as he took the tray and left.

After the waiter left, Oscar couldn’t wait to ask, “You’re from B-Town.”

Not only had Matthew guessed Oscar’s identity, but Oscar guessed Matthew’s identity as well.

Matthew responded with a sound bite. He said euphemistically, “They’re still young.”

He meant that he did not want to talk about adult matters in front of the children.

Besides, even if the two did not explain their identities, they had almost guessed each other’s identity correctly.

Oscar was an intelligent person. He understood the meaning of their words. He was wise to say, “I still have things to do. I’ll go figure it out. I’ll come back later.”

“Thank you.” They were all smart people. Matthew knew he was giving him some time.

Andrew looked down at the ice cream on the table and patted his sister, “Still want the ice cream?”

Amanda just lifted her head out of Matthew’s embrace and asked, “Where’s the ice cream?”

Matthew didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. This little girl still loved to eat. He wiped his daughter’s face and put her on the couch. At that moment, he saw the ice cream on the table. She reached out and took the spoon to scoop the ice cream. Then she passed it to Matthew’s lips, “Daddy, try it. It’s delicious. Mom doesn’t let me eat much. I had thought of many ways to let Oscar bring me to buy this.”
