Theresa was a little clueless. She felt a little worried that Armand hadnât shown himself.
Dolores sat on the couch, while Theresa remained silent, giving the impression that she was in no mood.
âYou must be tired today.â Dolores poured her a glass of water.
Theresa took it and took a sip. She replied, âNot really, I havenât seen Armand, has anything happened to him?â
She couldnât contain her concern, but asked about his whereabouts.
Dolores gave her a look. Theresa was obviously still worried about Armand.
She poured herself a glass of water and asked, âWhy are you asking about him, do you care about him?â
âNo, I donât care,â Theresa immediately denied. She explained, âToday is your wedding, but he hasnât shown anything â is that normal?â
Dolores didnât answer her immediately. She took a few sips of water and said, âHeâs been there the whole time, but he hasnât shown himself in front of us.â
âWhy not?â asked Theresa.
Dolores put the water down and looked at her silently. Obviously, Theresa asked because she really cared. It was her subconscious reaction that she couldnât lie.
Soon, Theresa realized that she had reacted too obviously. She tried to explain herself, but didnât know how. For a moment, she panicked.
Dolores looked at the door and checked the time. She guessed that Matthew should have taken Armand to the living room by now.
He began to speak earnestly, âTheresa, you do care about Armand.â
âNo, I donât care,â Theresa said with less assurance. Her voice was lower.
G a lno ve ls . com is where the magic begins At first, she tried to hold back her question because she feared her thoughts would be exposed. However, Dolores found her.
Dolores didnât insist on asking her, giving her some time to relax.
In the next room, Boyce asked Matthew to come in. He had discovered the woman who had sent the gift box, but did not tell Dolores her identity because it was a member of the Bailey Family. In order not to worry Dolores, he lied to her. After the wedding, she decided to tell Matthew.
Seeing Armand standing in the parlor doorway, Boyce asked him, âArmand has been hiding at the wedding the whole time. Why is he standing in the parlor doorway, but not coming in?â
Matthew sat down on the couch, looked up and loosened his shirt collar, âI did it intentionally.â
He lied to Armand that he wanted to talk to him and led him into the living room. At the door, they overheard the conversation between Dolores and Theresa.
Hearing that Theresa was in the living room, Armand turned around and was about to go into another room. Matthew did not talk to him about his plan, but pulled him to stop.
Before Armand asked confused why, he heard Dolores comment, âTheresa, you do care about Armand.â
For some reason, he wanted to know the answer with extreme impatience, wondering if Theresa still cared about him.
Even if she didnât love him, it would be okay. As long as she still cared about him, it meant he could still occupy her heart.
Probably, this way, she wouldnât think his love was too useless.
As Boyce approached them, Armand was focused on eavesdropping on Theresaâs response.
âWhy?â Boyce was confused.Why was Matthew intentionally letting Armand stand in the doorway and eavesdrop on the conversation inside?
As a smart man, Boyce realized that Theresa must be inside.
âYou and Dolores are truly thoughtful friends. Your wedding just ended. I realize how exhausted you are, but youâre still thinking about helping Armand.â
Matthew didnât want to discuss this matter any further. He asked, âWhat do you want to tell me?â
Boyce became instantly serious: âBefore the wedding, Dolores received a gift box.â
Matthew wasnât drunk, but he had been drinking heavily. Dolores had friends, so it was normal for her to receive a gift. She didnât mind too much.
âIt was from the Bailey Familyâs sixth daughter, Emma Bailey.â As he spoke, Boyce pulled out his phone and showed Matthew the surveillance video.
âThis woman asked a waitress to pass the gift to Dolores. Even though she was a danger, I donât think she did it out of kindness.â
Matthew narrowed his eyes. He had been paying attention to the Bailey Family.
Although there were many members in the family, they were not close. Also, most people tended to add insult to injury rather than offer others timely help.
In addition, Declan had been rather arrogant, so he had offended many people.
This time, his father and he would be saddled with grim possibilities.
Matthew also sent his men to keep an eye on Declanâs older sisters, who were married. So far, none of them had done anything. He also got information on Emma. Since he had decided to do something to the Bailey Family, Matthew had done detailed research on their family and network structures.
However, he hadnât expected anyone to make a move.
âWhat did he send?â asked Matthew.
âIt wasnât anything dangerous. I didnât see it clearly. What do you plan to do?â asked Boyce.
âHave you told him that woman is from the Bailey Family?â Matthew feared that Dolores would be worried when she found out. He didnât want her to worry about such trifles.
âNo. I told her I couldnât find out and Dolores didnât ask me for details,â Boyce said.
âKeep an eye on her.â Right now, Matthew couldnât deal with this matter. They had just finished the wedding, so he wanted to accompany Dolores for a few more days. Two days later, Dolores would have her prenatal exam, and he needed to go with her.
