Chapter 567: Chapter 567



.

Dolores paused and glanced back.

Marina was silent for a moment and continued, “Is there any chance you’ll change your mind? You used to get along well with Noah – don’t you appreciate his friendship at all? Do you want to cut ties with us altogether?”.

Dolores didn’t know, and couldn’t answer his questions now.

“I must go now.” She turned away again.

He wanted to leave such matters for time. If time could cure everything, she wished all her unhappiness would fade away with the passage of time.

Marina was feeling quite depressed. Both her husband and son cared for Dolores, but she was too heartless. Even though Jeffery made a mistake, he gave himself away. Why couldn’t his heart soften?

“Every time Noah called me, he always asked about you. He didn’t know how you were doing, but I would lie to him that you were fine and ask him not to worry. He kept asking about you because he cared about you as a family. Every time I would visit Jeffery, he would also ask me if you were back in town and had reconciled with Matthew. They both cared about you, but you don’t care about them at all. I feel really disappointed.”

Dolores didn’t answer him at all, striding out of the café.

She had heard Marina’s words. Her heart was not as cold as stone. She had feelings and thoughts – how could she not be moved?

However, he had not yet decided how to get along with them. In his heart, there was something he still couldn’t let go of.

Since Marina had asked her for clear answers, Dolores didn’t think she could do it. Even if she did respond, it would be against her will. She could neither forgive nor truly accept them.

The chauffeur was waiting for her outside the café. He feared that Dolores would not be able to find him, so he did not dare to go out.

Seeing Dolores leave the cafe, he immediately approached her. He noticed that she looked annoyed, so he asked, “Mrs. Nelson, would you like to go home now?”

“Let’s go downstairs.”

Even though Marina ruined her mood, Dolores still remembered what she wanted to do.

The driver followed her.

After being alone with Theresa for a long time, Dolores knew her size and style of clothing. She went through several stores and got some for herself. It was summer, Theresa needed to change her clothes every day.

The driver followed Dolores as she held the shopping bags. She wanted to buy the underwear for Theresa, but it was inconvenient for the driver to follow her, so she asked him to wait outside the lingerie store.

She went in and noticed that Theresa didn’t have any nightgowns or pajamas, so she went over to look at them. Other customers were also looking at the nightgowns.

“Tiana, take a look – what do you think of this one?” A woman was showing a seductive lingerie set to her daughter.

Tiana blushed. “Mom, this one is too exposed, how could I wear it?”.

Hearing the voice, Dolores gave a glance. Seeing the girl’s face, she confirmed who it was. Hearing the voice sounded familiar, so she peeked in. It turned out to be Charles’ wife, Tiana.

He wondered why Tiana was in B-town.

Was Tiana from B-town?

It seemed that Charles had not mentioned that Tiana was from White City. It was a small city and the White Family was the most important family there. Charles said that the Meyer Family could help his career, so the Meyer Family would have to be wealthy or powerful. Otherwise, Charles would not have chosen to marry the daughter of this family.

“Exposed? All men like this style.” The woman tugged her daughter and asked, “Tell me honestly, have you slept together?”

Her daughter was still childish. She was afraid that Charles would marry her daughter just because of her family background.

Charles couldn’t walk, but he was handsome and capable. Many ordinary people couldn’t compare to him.

It was very clear to her: if her daughter was not from his family, Charles would not have married Tiana.

Tiana blushed more. “Mom, what are you talking about? We’re a couple. Of course we sleep together.”

She lowered her face slightly and didn’t dare look her mother in the eye. It seemed Charles had predicted that someone would ask Tiana that question, so he had told her how to answer it. She merely gave the answer to her mother.

The woman looked quite surprised. “Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?”.

Tiana removed the seductive lingerie from her mother’s hands and put it back. She turned around. “Why would I lie to you?”

As she turned around, she happened to see Dolores standing next to them.

“Hi! How are you?” Tiana greeted her. She still remembered that Charles had introduced her to this lady at her wedding.

Charles seemed to be very close to this woman. He also touched her belly.

Dolores smiled at him, “Hello.”

“You two know each other?” Tiana’s mother approached, looking Dolores up and down.

Tiana nodded. She answered truthfully, “Yes. She’s a good friend of Charles’. She also attended our wedding.”

Her mother stared at Dolores’ belly for a few seconds and then glanced at her face. Dolores was not a stunning woman at first glance, but the more one looked at her, the more beautiful she became. All her features had a standard beauty.

She was also quite easygoing, very attractive.

The woman squeezed Tiana’s hand tightly. She knew her daughter was very pure of mind. “Are you a friend of Charles?”

Dolores seemed to have sensed the woman’s hostility toward her. She did not know how to explain it. So she answered indifferently, “We are not very close friends, just mutual friends.”

“But I noticed that you are very close. Charles also touched your belly that day.

Have you forgotten?” Tiana blinked and said.

She had no other thoughts, nor was she as reflective as her mother.

She merely said what she had seen.

At first, her mother was quite attentive to Dolores, as she was an attractive woman. Hearing Tiana’s words, she suspected that Dolores and Charles must be having an affair.

Looking at Dolores, he put on a look of circumstance. They were so close that Charles could touch her body. What kind of pure friendship would that be?

Obviously, Tiana’s mother didn’t think Dolores and Charles were ordinary friends. With a grimace, she asked, “What is your relationship with Charles?”

Dolores suddenly felt that today was not her day. A moment ago, she had met Marina.

Now, it was Tiana’s turn.

What an unfortunate day!

Dolores knew how to read between the lines of the woman’s words. Frowning, she explained, “You misunderstood…”

The woman snorted and interrupted her, “Do you think I’m an idiot? My daughter is pure-minded and easily fooled, but I’m not. If you were normal friends, how could I touch your belly?”

She looked increasingly annoyed. “Are you carrying his bastard?”

Dolores’s face turned cold as well. “Watch your language. I have a husband.”

“Mom! What’s wrong, why are you so angry?” Tiana tugged at her mother’s hand. She couldn’t understand why her mother started fighting with Dolores.

Dolores didn’t want to talk to her anymore. The woman had already misunderstood her. She couldn’t explain it in a short time. The more she explained, the more suspicious the woman would become.

She turned around and was about to leave, but the woman pulled her to stop. “You can’t leave! Tell me clearly, does Charles White have anything to do with the baby you’re carrying? Don’t you know he’s married? Are you his mistress or does he want you to be his mistress?”

The woman’s words had become increasingly harsh. Dolores was also angry. She said in a fierce tone, “Let go of me now. Or I will call the police.”

“You are a shameless woman. You dare call the police.” The woman squeezed Dolores’ wrist. She said aggressively, “If you don’t make it clear today, I won’t let you go!”.

Dolores pulled out her phone. The woman saw that she was going to make a call. Raising her hand, she slammed Dolores’ phone down and snapped, “What are you doing? Looking for help, huh? Let me tell you. If you don’t make it clear today, you can’t go anywhere.”
