At the time I had just gotten off the plane, I didnât know where to go.
I wasnât familiar with C-Town as I hadnât been around much.
When Matthew said he was in C-Town, Armand immediately said, âBring me from the airport.â
I had no friends or relatives here, so I could only trust Matthew.
Matthew raised his hand to look at the time and said, âIâll be there in ten minutes.â When he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
He called Armand at the airport and told him to get out. He didnât have time to get out of his car to look for Armand on such a hot day.
Armand came out of the airport and found his car. After Armand opened the car door and sat in the car, he got straight to the point: âHave you found Dolores?â.
What else could make him work so hard to travel all this way?
Only the exception of Dolores could entice him.
Matthew became serious and said calmly, âWhatâs the matter, did you come looking for me just to ask this question on purpose?â
âNo, no.â Armand hastened to explain, âIsnât Boyce busy and I have no one to play with? So I came looking for you.â
âIs that true?â Matthew was evidently not buying it. Armand couldnât fool him as he had recognized Armand for so long.
He did not tell Armand the truth, not only because he had promised Theresa not to tell him, but also because he had some concerns on his mind.
The relationship between Dolores and Theresa was extraordinary. After all, Armand had done Theresa a great deal of harm. If she told and if Armand made another mistake, then even he would be in trouble.
If Armand knew what Matthew was thinking in his mind right now, Armand would definitely scream âwomen before brothersâ and want to break up with him.
He only wanted his wife, not his friend, right?
gαâηÏνððsâ¤com is full of thrilling adventures Of course, he would definitely choose his wife first before his friend, even if Armand knew it.
His wife was the most important thing in his heart.
After all, his wife would sleep with him and be with him until old age. He believed that Armand and Boyce would also think that wives were more important when they had their loved ones.
Armand became serious, âTell me the truth â did you really find Dolores?â
Matthew answered yes quietly.
Armand was surprised but at the same time expected it. He smiled and said, âHave you two made up yet?â
However, Jeffery was still on trial. If he went back to B-town and heard the news, would Dolores feel uncomfortable?
Anyway, it was a fact that Jeffery was her uncle.
Matthewâs expression turned somber and he said calmly, âNo, she doesnât know Iâm here.â
Armand was speechless.
What did he mean?
Dolores didnât know he was here, so what was he doing here? Being a peeping tom and spying on her every day?
Wasnât that perverted?
âHow long are you going to be like this?â she couldnât keep hiding all the time.
Matthewâs thoughts were similar to Armandâs, but now was not the right time to meet with Dolores. He had to wait for the Jeffery matter to be resolved and now was definitely not the right time. She could accompany her two children together to avoid heartbreak.
âJust wait a little longer.â
Armand nodded, but what about him? If Matthew and Dolores didnât know each other, how could he ask Dolores about Theresaâs condition? It had been a while since Dolores had said Theresa was recovering quite well. Had Theresa been released from the hospital now?
âCan I go visit Dolores?â asked Armand carefully.
Based on his relationship with Matthew, if he went to visit Dolores, it would mean that he knew almost as much as Matthew did. After all, their relationships were clear.
How would he explain knowing her whereabouts?
There was a lot of doubt behind it and he couldnât just find her without having a good explanation.
Matthew glanced at her. Having known him for so long, how could Matthew not know what was going on in her mind?
The reason he had come here was to find out Theresaâs whereabouts and what was the point of trying to be clever.
âTheresa has been discharged from the hospital.â
He reminded Armand so Armand wouldnât go looking for Theresa for Armandâs sake.
Armand would be able to figure it out hopefully.
Armand suddenly became forceful, âSo where did she go, did she come back, but isnât the clothing store in B-Town already closed, where is she going?â
Matthew was silent and said nothing, hoping to extend his thoughts from Doloresâ perspective.
Armand mused, âIs it possible sheâs gone back to Country A?â After all, she had come from there.
Matthew snorted as he had never thought Armand could be so stupid.
He really wanted to smash Armandâs head in to see what was inside.
âCould it be possible that he had come looking for Dolores? But Doloresâ clothing store is already closed. What else can she do if she has come?â Armand thought about the possibilities as he mulled over in his mind what she might do after finding Dolores.
This was related to the possibility of her staying.
After all, she couldnât be playing games here. Dolores was pregnant and had two children with her, so it wasnât unusual for her to be free. However, she was definitely not someone who could be free.
He kept calculating broadly.
Matthew didnât want to talk to him anymore because he was so stupid.
Armand was also annoyed as he scratched his head, âWhere can I find her, do you know?â
Armand suddenly twisted his head and glared at him. At that moment, he was the one who had arranged her hospital and he knew that Theresa had been discharged from the hospital. So he definitely knew where she was going, didnât he?
He got even more excited as his eyes sparkled, âYou know, donât you?â.
Matthewâs expression changed unnaturally. After all, they were all good friends and he couldnât stand to be blatantly cheated on.
âTell me.â Armand was even curious, but Matthew hesitated because he knew something behind the real story, âTell me quickly so I can go find her. Iâll let her punish me. I wonât make a mistake again.â
âArmand.â Matthew debated in his mind for a while, but decided not to say it. After all, he had promised Theresa and couldnât go back on his word, but if Armand found out on his own, then he wouldnât be considered breaking his promise.
âHeâs been discharged from the hospital, how could he tell me later where heâs going?â his voice and expression were extremely calm. He was capable of reacting deftly in the business world, not to mention such a small matter, how could he mess it up?
Armand sat limply in the car seat like a deflated ball.
âLetâs go to the hotel now. Iâll buy you dinner tonight.â He was staying at a hotel in C-Town and was still considerate of Armand. Later in the evening he would make an excuse to see the children and ask Theresa to take them. Therefore, Armand should notice something when he met Theresa.
Even though her appearance like her voice had changed and she didnât look the same as before, she should still feel affection for the person she loved, shouldnât she?
If Armand couldnât even notice her like this, then he would have nothing more to say or do.
He could only help up to this point.
Armand was slightly frazzled, âMake whatever arrangements you want.â
In the evening, Theresa and Dolores returned from the store. The exhibition had been held successfully and had quickly expanded the market for the watered chiffon that had disappeared from the public.
She had created and developed âcloudâ which was installed in C-Town.
It was because too many orders were received through the exhibition that day, including watered chiffon and also wedding dresses.
There was a new trend of Chinese style in the country.
However, the ones that were not for sale would only be displayed in the store. Something unattainable would even be precious. This was done to attract customers. On the other hand, it was also done to take the initiative, as those dresses had been created by her, so all those that resembled her creations in the future would be considered plagiarism.
The twelve wedding dresses would not be sold, but she could take orders and design new pieces as needed.
When she returned and picked up the two children, Dolores felt tired and wanted to rest for a while. After entering her bedroom, she stood by the bed and frowned as she looked at the messy bedding.
It was very tidy when she came out of the bedroom. However, it looked like someone had slept in earlier.
She had gone to the hospital in the morning. Theresa had followed her to the store in the afternoon. The two children had gone to preschool and no one was home in the morning. Why was the bed so messy?
Who had slept in?
Theresa was about to take a shower. As she changed her sweaty shirt, she got a text from Matthew asking her to take the two boys out.
She pursed her lips and felt sympathy for Matthew for two seconds. She felt sorry that he could only see her two children on the sly. She gave up the idea of showering and decided to go out to dinner. That way, she could just shower after she got back then.
He went to Doloresâ bedroom door, âIâll take the two children out to eat today. What do you want to eat? Iâll bring it to you. We wonât cook tonight.â She had to inform Dolores that she was taking the children out.
Theresa often took her children out to eat. So Dolores was not surprised and agreed, âTheresa, are you back today?â
Theresa leaned against the door and shook her head, âHavenât I been with you all day?â
âI remember the bed was tidy when I left, why is it so messy now?â
