Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Jayden sat back on the couch and asked Thomas to come over, “Go investigate if anything special happened to Matthew when he went overseas this time.”

He couldn’t help but think about the reasons behind it, since he cancelled the engagement for no reason.

Victoria reached out for Jayden’s hand and said with a worried look, “If he finds out that you’re investigating him, he’ll definitely be upset. His relationship with us has already been strained, why not talk to him later?”.

Thomas also interjected, “Yes. He is also clear about Young Master’s temperament.”

Jayden made a longer face and said coldly, “With his bad temper, can I come to an agreement with him on this matter?”

He became less somber after saying the words and added in a firm attitude, “I can let him act at will when it comes to other matters. But he can’t act like that this time.”

After all, this matter was crucial to the future of the Nelson Family.

Victoria kept trying to persuade him, but was interrupted by Jayden before she could say anything, “You don’t need to persuade me. I have already made up my mind regarding this matter.”

She then raised her head to look at Thomas, “Go.”

“Er…” Thomas looked at Victoria with a doubtful face.

Victoria let out a sigh, “Let them act like that. The father and son duo have bad tempers. Who could persuade them?”

Thomas could only follow Jayden’s order.

Just as Matthew had left the mansion, he was stopped by Mary. “Matthew…”

Matthew ignored her and walked past her, then headed for the car.

Maria chased after him and grabbed his arm, “I’ve been following you for many years. But you’re going to abandon me just because I made a simple mistake?”

Matthew stopped suddenly. His movement was so sudden that Mary collided with him before she had time to react.

She raised her head and looked at his beautiful face, the one she had been infatuated with for a long time.

Matthew looked at the woman who had been by his side for a long time. He had once thought that, although this woman was intriguing and not as pure as she appeared on the surface, she had after all given her virginity to him and therefore he had to be responsible for her both emotionally and logically.

Although he had no affection for her, he had to be responsible for her.

The moment he saw Dolores again, however, he felt his heart, which had been beating steadily, racing wildly for her. It turned out that he could still have feelings for a person.

He didn’t know what reasons lay behind this.

He only knew that, if he married Mary, he would definitely regret it in the future.

Matthew reached out to caress her cheek and said in a soft voice, “Did you really only make a mistake once?”

He had turned a blind eye to his sins on many occasions and was unwilling to investigate them.

But that didn’t mean he knew nothing about them.

Mary was a little stunned, pondering, ‘What…what did he know?’

Thinking carefully about it, it was impossible for her to find out since so many years had passed. Besides, with her older brother’s support, she definitely wouldn’t be able to find out anything.

If he reprimanded him, perhaps he would have leeway in this matter.

However, he seemed extremely disinterested.

The more indifferent he seemed, the more determined he was.

Mary became very nervous and held Matthew’s arm tightly, “Matthew, I love you. Don’t you know how I feel about you after being with you for so many years?”

“But I don’t like you.” After finishing the words, Matthew laughed with contempt.

It was, indeed, a self-mockery.

Mary shook her head madly and growled uncontrollably, “No, no, you love me. You’re so good to me…”

“That’s not love.” It was only because he had to be responsible for taking her virginity that night.

He had forced himself to love her. Yet, over the past few years, he still felt nothing for her.

“I’ll make it up to you, but not with my marriage.” He wrenched his hand from her arm, apparently unwilling to pursue the subject further.

But Maria refused to let go, “I don’t want your compensation. I only want you.”

Although she refused to admit it, it was clear that Matthew had truly become infatuated with Dolores.

Otherwise, he would not have changed drastically as he had transformed into the other man after seeing Dolores.

His attitude was very determined.

He roared in his heart, “Why didn’t that woman die in the car accident?

“What was so good about that person? She already had a man when she married you back then…”

“Enough?” Matthew interrupted her, “You should go back and calm down yourself first. We can talk about this matter later.” He didn’t want to talk to her right then.

“Matthew… Matthew…” Mary cried inconsolably but Matthew just ignored her.

The driver had opened the car door and was waiting for Matthew. He bent down and climbed into the car.

When the driver asked him where to go, Matthew rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and replied insistently, “Go to the company.”

In Country A…

Dolores was very nervous after seeing Matthew and accidentally broke her bowl while taking food.

Jessica looked at her daughter and asked with concern, “Is there a problem at your work? You’ve been distracted since you got back. You haven’t stopped working this whole year, why don’t you rest?”.

Samuel watched Dolores secretly, thinking that his mother’s abnormal behaviors must be because of that bastard.

Imagining that bastard bullying his mother, Samuel felt so angry that he gritted his teeth and gripped the chopsticks tightly, wishing so badly that he could hit that bastard.

Dolores pulled herself together and to keep Jessica from worrying about her, she told a lie: “I’m fine. Maybe… Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night. It’s okay.”

Samuel put a piece of meat in Dolores’ bowl, “Mom, eat more meat.”

Seeing that her son was so thoughtful, Dolores smiled consolingly and reached over to stroke his hair, “You should eat more since you are in your physical growth spurt.”

She then served a bowl of rib soup to her son.

Simona pouted, feeling unhappy to see this and looked at Dolores, “Mom, you’re biased. You love my brother and you don’t love me.”

Jessica laughed, “See, this child starts pouting at an early age.” Samuel handed the bowl of soup to Simona, “You take it, is that okay?”

Simona was easy to cajole, as she was not an unforgiving person. Seeing her older brother hand her the bowl of soup, she sketched a smile.

After the meal, Dolores went to wash the dishes while Jessica went to bathe Simona.

Samuel took out his tablet. Remembering that when they were taking a statement at the police office, the man had told the officers his name was Matthew Nelson, he entered his name in the search column of Baidu (China’s counterpart to Google).

He then saw several web pages about Matthew.

He had been born in China’s B-town and was now the President of WY Group. He was 185 cm tall and weighed 65 kg. He was 32 years old.

He had taken over the WY Group and became president of the company at the age of 22.

He had been at the top of the nation’s rich list for many times and was the youngest rich person in the country.

But his marital status remained unknown.

Only once did he admit to having a girlfriend: Maria Herbert.

Samuel curved his lips, as he didn’t expect that bastard to be so rich.

He was rich, but could he behave as he pleased?

He was rich, but could he bully his mother?

He clenched his fists tightly and vowed that someday he would teach that bore a lesson.

He put down the tablet and picked up the phone. As he was about to call his teacher, Dolores came out of the kitchen. Seeing that Samuel was about to make a call, she asked him, “It’s already very late. But you still haven’t had a bath. Who do you want to talk to?”

“…”

Samuel was not a good liar as every time he lied he blushed.

At the moment he didn’t know how to answer the question.

Dolores sensed him strange and went over to study him. Then she accidentally discovered that there was Matthew’s information on the tablet lying on the couch and furrowed her eyebrows.

It was too late for Samuel to hide the tablet and he could only watch Dolores picking it up.

Dolores looked at her son and asked, “Why did you do this?”
