Every time he addressed Dolores as âMrs. Nelsonâ, Charles felt like his heart was being stung by a bee.
He couldnât control that feeling, so he could only do his best to hide it.
Maisy thought about it and agreed. She took some money out of her purse and gave it to her daughter. However, she said to Charles, âPlease take Tiana to buy a new phone. I⦠accidentally threw the phone at her. Since I want to apologize to her, I must do it sincerely.â
At this moment, when Maisy thought about her previous actions, she finally noticed how unreasonable she was at the time.
She was too upset, fearing that her daughter had been bullied.
Right now, she felt so ashamed and disgraced. Her actions did not fit her identity at all.
Charles took the money from Tianaâs hands and handed it back to Maisy. âMom, I have money. Please keep it. In the future, if you need financial help, donât hesitate to tell me.â
Alan was an honest and upright man, so he had only his salary as income. His family was not rich.
Maisy did not accept the money. She felt she was very wrong about him as she even suspected him before.
âYou know my family background. Nathan White was not my biological father either. He treated me very well and compensated me with a fatherâs love. However, I never had a loving mother, so I donât know how to reciprocate a mother. From now on, I will strive to treat Dad and you well. Thank you for trusting me and letting Tiana marry me.â
Charlesâ words came from the bottom of his heart. On the other hand, he wanted to tell Maisy that she didnât have to suspect him in the future.
He was quite good at convincing others, and his every word jabbed at the Meyer marriage. They didnât have a son, only a daughter. They never expected their daughter and son-in-law to take care of them in the future. They only wished that, when they passed away, there would be someone to truly care for their daughter.
Thatâs why Charlesâ words touched them so much.
âVery good.â Alan patted Charles on the shoulder. âTiana is our only daughter, so her mother cares a lot about her. Please donât take what happened today to heart.â
âI wonât. Please trust me from now on. I really want to take care of Tiana. I donât expect something like this to happen in the future.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Maisy stepped in and stated her attitude, âI was too upset today. I promise this wonât happen again in the future.â
âHurry up and leave. You can probably come back for dinner later,â Maisy said.
Charles said with a smile, âIf itâs late, Iâll have dinner with Tiana at a restaurant. Please donât wait for us.â
Maisy agreed with a smile, watching her daughter and son-in-law leave the house.

At the mall.
Since she hadnât finished shopping, Dolores didnât want Matthew to stay with her. She knew he must be busy looking for John now.
âWhy donât you go back to your work?â she found she couldnât selfishly keep him by her side at all.
Matthew stroked her hair and hugged her, walking toward another lingerie store. âBoyce is doing research now. I can make time to shop with you.â
Dolores curved her lips into a slight smile. She agreed to let him accompany her.
As he entered the store, he came to himself and asked, âHow do you know what Iâm going to buy?â
âWerenât you just a moment ago in a lingerie store?â. As he spoke, he approached her. A womanâs lingerie was always private. He thought Dolores would buy for herself, so he almost pressed his lips to her ear. He acted too ambiguously, so Dolores pulled him away and whispered to remind him, âWeâre in public and weâre being watched by others. Get a grip.â
Matthew let out a gentle âhmmâ. âThen Iâll get out of control when I get home.â
Dolores gagged.
Thinking that Theresa had moved out, she felt it necessary to warn Matthew. âI have something to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â Matthew gave her a solemn look and her heart skipped a beat.
âI helped Theresa move into our villa. She needs to be taken care of, but sheâs not willing to let Armand do it. I canât be sure about letting others take care of her, so I asked her to move in. I forgot to ask your opinion first.â She didnât think it was a big deal, but she had to notice no matter what.
Matthew knew that Theresa and she were very close. Even though he knew it might be a little inconvenient and he wanted to spend more time with her and the kids alone, he wouldnât turn her down.
It didnât matter if it was for Armand or Dolores, he couldnât say no.
âYouâre the head of our family.â She pulled out an extremely seductive black lingerie set and showed it to Dolores. âWhat do you think of this one?â
