[Dolores, long time no see. I feel like time has gone by so fast. My memory is still stuck on the way you were when you first joined the LEO Corporation. Itâs been a long time, and youâve found your lover. Congratulations. Mr. Nelson is a great guy. Iâm so happy for you. I designed the wedding dress myself, and I hope you like it. If I wasnât so old and sick, I would have come to your wedding. I hope we have a chance to see each other again in the future. I wish you a happy wedding].
Glancing at the letter, Dolores also thought of the first time she went to the LEO Corporation. Because Mrs. William gave her a chance, she thought she could stay at the LEO Corporation forever. But she didnât expect that she would not only return to her home country, but also set up her own studio.
She thought she would never have love and happiness, but now she was going to walk down the aisle.
How amazing was that!
She folded the letter and glanced out the window. Matthewâs face suddenly appeared before her eyes, and she missed him terribly.
She didnât know when he would be back. In order not to cause him trouble, she hadnât contacted him. Today, suddenly, she couldnât help the urge to contact him.
She picked up her phone and searched the screen for Matthewâs number. She hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to dial it, her phone suddenly rang.
The number on the screen turned out to be the one he wanted to dial.
Without hesitation, he picked it up immediately.
âHello.â
Matthew was very busy these days. Through Oscar, he had gotten to know an officer from the same era as Old Lord Bailey.
He also got information from him that Lord Bailey had committed a crime a long time ago.
After knowing exactly what was going on, he sent people to verify, check and find the testimony of a witness and material evidence. Before things were exposed, he even went personally, fearing there was a mistake.
He did not let Oscar get involved and just used his connections to learn some unknown past facts. Then, he did all the rest.
He took all the victims to City B while contacting the major media through his own contacts. Instead of getting someone to take over the case, he let the media report the story to make it bigger and put pressure on the government.
People gravitated to the weak. Most of those who turned out were old people and children, so people naturally favored them.
The government had to give a statement to the public.
At the same time, it exposed Declanâs story, and brought things to a point of no return.
Although he was not in the official world, he knew the minds of the people very well. No matter what position you were in, there would be people who would be jealous. Whenever there was a small mistake, there would be people adding fuel to the fire.
Things were going well, as he expected, and the government was taking it seriously. As far as he knew, the government had already set up a task force.
Once the evidence was conclusive, he would surely be convicted.
It was supposed to be the truth, and it was only a matter of time.
He had the people Abbott had hired to keep exposing stories on the Internet and creating buzz to keep the hype going and get more people to find out.
When he finished his appointment with the heads of the two major media outlets, he hurried to the villa. He had been running around outside these days and didnât have time to go back. Today was the end, and he just had to concentrate on how things went next.
As he parked the car and tried to get in, he suddenly wondered if Dolores had missed him.
She hadnât contacted him in the last few days.
He leaned against the car door and dialed Doloresâ number.
To his surprise, the call was answered as soon as he dialed.
He couldnât help but freeze for a moment and reacted quickly.
âAre you playing with the phone?â If not, how could he answer the phone so quickly?
Dolores answered, âYes, are you all right?â
She was going to say, âI missed you and wanted to call you.â
Matthew tilted his head to take a look at the sky. It was a beautiful day and there were many stars in the sky. He curved his lips, âDid you miss me?â.
Dolores got out of bed, walked over to the couch in front of the window and sat down. She leaned back slightly and said, âIf I say I miss you, will you appear in front of me right away?â
âHow about if I make a wish to God and have him bring me to you immediately?â.
Dolores smiled, âThen you can make a wish.â
âHow can I make a wish when you havenât even said you miss me?â. Matthew laughed softly. He just wanted to hear her say she missed him.
Dolores didnât hide her feelings and said very gently, âI miss you, very much.â
âThen Iâll make a wish to God right now.â She turned and walked toward the villa. He did not ring the doorbell, but opened the door to the villa with a code. Everyone seemed to have rested at that hour, and the hall was silent with only a dim night light on.
He put on his slippers and went upstairs. He walked very gently, for fear of alarming the others.
âCount to ten and see if God sends me into your eyes.â
Dolores couldnât help but feel amused, âYou still believe in God, eh?â
âA man without faith has no soul. Count fast.â
Dolores thought it was so childish but cute at the moment.
âSo Iâm counting?â
âYes.â
Dolores said yes and counted: â10, 9, 8 ⦠3, 2, 1 â¦â
Click, as she counted to the last number, the door to the room rang, then the door was pushed.
She turned her head to look over.
In the dim light, she saw an upright man, the one she missed so much.
âMatthew?â
Her voice trembled a little, and she couldnât believe he showed himself.
Matthew smiled, âItâs meâ¦â
Before he could finish the sentence, Dolores pounced on him and hugged him. She buried her head in his arms, âIâve been so worried about you the last few days.â
Matthew lowered his gaze and kissed her forehead, âWhy didnât you call me?â
âI was afraid Iâd get you in trouble and distract you.â Dolores tilted her head to give him a look. Through the dim light, she looked at his face and asked, âDid you miss me?â
âYes.â
Dolores pursed her lips, âMe too.â
After saying that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips. Matthew responded by wrapping his arms around her waist.
Dolores was very passionate today.
Matthew said, âIâm going to take a shower.â
He hadnât rested well in the last few days and had always been out.
Dolores could smell the faint odor of sweat on him, but she didnât find it unpleasant. She smiled, âI donât care what you look like. Even if you have a beard and are scruffy, it doesnât matter. I still like you.â
âDonât you know I have very little resistance to you? The way you act makes me think youâre seducing me.â Matthew stroked her face, then her ear and ran his fingers down her neck.
Dolores reached up and unbuttoned his shirt, âSo, what do you want?â
He looked at her hands, leaned down and whispered in her ear, âTo take you to bed.â
Standing thus close to her, he could smell the faint scent of her body. It smelled good, like a tempting delicacy, making him want to taste it.
He thought about it and did it.
He picked her up by the waist and deposited her on the bed.
Dolores didnât stay still, but got up and pushed him down, and mounted him in his crotch. She lay down on top of him, âLet me hold you like this.â Matthew was speechless.
He wanted more than a hug.
âHoney.â Her voice was husky .
