Chapter 549: Chapter 549



.

“Let’s go back to B-town, an urgent matter has occurred at the company.” Matthew didn’t talk about Theresa’s business. Maybe he was afraid that Armand’s emotion would be unstable after learning about Theresa’s affair.

Besides, he was still driving now.

It would be too dangerous to tell him right now.

Armand snorted, “How urgent would the company business be? Was Abbott still there keeping watch? Do you think the company will have to close tomorrow if you can’t get back today?”

Soon, he changed to an understanding look in an instant and spoke with a smile, “I think you’re just afraid Dolores will leave again and that’s why you want to take her back immediately, right?”

Matthew looked at him and said coldly, “Pull over at the rest area later, I’ll drive later.”

“I’m not tired yet.” He drove alone when he arrived and didn’t feel so tired.

“You’re too talkative. I’m afraid we’re not sure.”

Matthew put his head down and texted Boyce. He had asked Boyce to go to C-Town and investigate Declan and wondered if any leads had been found there.

After sending the message, he looked back. The two children were sleeping soundly as Dolores turned her head to look out the window. She didn’t look well, she must have been worried about Theresa.

It was not a good time to say it clearly in front of Armand. So, she simply advised him gently, “I’ll take care of all that business. You go to sleep for a while and don’t think too much.”

How could he not worry? Theresa was badly hurt before that. Not only that, but she had even encountered something like that just on her way back. How could he calm down and how could he not worry about her?

However, not wanting to cause Matthew any trouble, she just answered him and then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Matthew sighed and regained his gaze. He knew she was faking it.

However, he had nothing more to say and persuade her to relax.

He glanced down at his phone and found that Boyce still hadn’t texted him back. She looked up and leaned her body against the back of the chair and then pressed lightly on her temples.

“Are you hiding something from me?” asked Armand. Why did he get the feeling that something was up and that was why Matthew was in a hurry to get back?

Matthew didn’t turn his back on him. He merely spoke casually, “Concentrate on driving.”

Armand was speechless.

“I’m your full-time driver and you treat me like this? Can’t you treat me more politely?” He really wasn’t taking him seriously.

Matthew opened his eyes and then slowly gave a casual glance, “Armand, do you still want Theresa back?”

“Of course.” Armand almost spat those words out.

The likelihood of him getting her back was very small.

Dolores, who was sitting in the back, became involuntarily nervous when she heard they were talking about Theresa. She was afraid that Matthew would tell Armand about Theresa’s kidnapping.

She was also afraid that Armand would know about it now and would only get nervous and worried about it after learning of Theresa’s condition.

Besides, it was still hours before they were due to return to B-town.

Instead of making him nervous, he thought it was better to tell them after they got back. Then, we could discuss and come up with a plan together.

“You have a plan?” asked Armand with some excitement.

“Yes.”

Armand asked impatiently, “What’s the plan?”

“Shut up, no woman likes a nagging man.”

Armand was speechless.

Matthew was bullying him, how could he say he was a nagging man?

“Tell me plainly, how come I was described as a nagging man?”

At that moment, Armand’s voice was drowned out by the ringing of the phone.

Matthew thought it was Boyce. He pulled out his phone and then discovered that it was not his but Dolores’. It was because he had previously put Dolores’ phone in his pocket. He looked at the caller’s name that appeared on the screen and showed the name “Oscar”.

He knew what kind of people surrounded Dolores and he knew it well.

This Oscar had to be the man she had met in C-Town.

Dolores was familiar with the sound of her own phone ringing. She had just opened her eyes when it rang. She nervously asked, “Who is this?” She thought Declan was calling her again.

Matthew handed her his phone, “See for yourself.”

Dolores reached out and took the phone from him. The screen showed the name “Oscar.” She pressed the answer button. Then, she held the phone to her ear and answered the call. Oscar’s voice came on immediately.

“Can you reach Theresa? She hasn’t been in the store all day and I can’t reach her either.”

Dolores calmed her excitement and said quietly, “Don’t worry, I know where she is. We won’t be going back for now. Please help me keep watch there.”

“I’m glad to know. She disappeared suddenly and I can’t locate her, so I was quite worried. So when will everyone be back?” Oscar asked.

Dolores wasn’t sure when she would be back either, “I’m not sure yet. I’ll call you in a couple of days.”

“That’s great. Don’t worry about this part, I’ll watch out for you. You have to take care of you and your two kids too.” Oscar instructed her.

Dolores replied and said, “Okay.”

“Then I’ll hang up.”

Dolores answered with a “hmm” and then hung up the phone.

Just as she was about to put her phone away, Matthew reached out his hand to her, “Give me your phone.”

Dolores looked at him, “It’s not in my best interest for you to keep my phone.

I’ll let you answer the call if the person, Declan calls me.” She knew what Matthew was worried about.

She was afraid Declan would call her back. She had never met the person and didn’t want to deal with him either.

He wasn’t capable of handling the Theresa thing and she still had to trust him.

Dolores had stated that so Matthew couldn’t say anything else either. Then he turned his body back.

“Dolores, do you know Declan, how do you know about him?” asked Armand.
