Chapter 696: Chapter 696



Dolores nodded.

A deep frown creased Matthew’s brow and he asked, “Why is he here?”

“She found out Armand wasn’t here and seemed to probe me, saying she was worried about Boyce, but I don’t think it’s simply because of him,” she said dejectedly.

In her mind, she worried that Boyce would have conflicts with her in the future.

Matthew said, “Don’t worry.”

During the previous days that Boyce had been unaccounted for, they hadn’t gotten much rest; plus, she had sighed a lot because Amanda suffered from irritability. He didn’t want her to worry about other people’s emotional stuff.

“Boyce is an adult, he can handle it on his own, there’s no need for us to get involved,” Matthew said casually. In fact, he had secretly checked her out.

“By the way, why didn’t Armand let Boyce come back, what did he want to do, and where is Boyce now, is he hurt?” Thinking about Armand, who intentionally asked them to hide the Miller Family and didn’t tell them the reason at the time, they were curious to know what he had up his sleeve.

At the time, Matthew had no idea either, but today he had received a message from Armand and knew about Boyce’s current situation and his relationship with Jasmine Burke. Armand had told him everything, had asked him not to tell Wendy Miller that Boyce was okay, and had told her that Boyce was also aware of the affair.

“I’ll tell you later in the evening.”

Now was not really the right time to discuss this subject, after all Wendy was downstairs.

Dolores nodded and did not pursue the matter further. When they came downstairs, Wendy was already sitting at the dining room table. She stood up when she saw them come downstairs and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you today.”

Matthew hugged his daughter and sat down in the front seat as Dolores took a seat next to him.

He smiled and said to Wendy, “Make yourself at home.”

Wendy smiled and said, “Yes.” Then she sat back down and gave Matthew a look, “Does Amanda need to see a psychiatrist?”

He didn’t answer.

Dolores immediately smoothed things over, “She’s seen the doctor. She’s in shock, it will take some time for her to recover. Do you want to drink red wine, since you like it?”.

She smiled and said, “No.”

“Well, it’s my fault too. Now Boyce is unaccounted for, how can we eat and even have a drink at ease?”.

Dolores asked Coral, “Is the decoction for calming spirits that I asked you to cook ready yet?”

Coral said, “It will be ready soon.”

She nodded, “Serve Miss Miller a bowl later, she must not have rested well these days.”

Coral looked at Wendy and felt that she too did not give the impression that she had not rested well. She felt uncomfortable, “Um.” Then she turned and headed for the kitchen.

Wendy suddenly realized that perhaps she had shown too much enthusiasm and became less concerned about Boyce. Were Dolores’ words a moment ago on purpose?

She soon tensed for a moment.

Coral was skilled in the kitchen and the dishes she prepared were tasty and attractive.

By this time, Wendy had lost her appetite.

Coral first served a bowl of soup to Dolores and then reluctantly served Wendy, “Miss Miller, be careful, it’s hot.”

She, a little uncomfortable, spoke without looking up, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Coral said coolly.

Dolores felt a headache and didn’t bother to say anything, as Wendy, who was such a smart person, could definitely sense that Coral didn’t want her.

However, it was hard to force someone to like a person they disliked.

She placed the soup Coral had eaten in front of Matthew, “I see you haven’t slept well these past few nights.”

Matthew looked up, “Shall I wake you up?”.

Because of Amanda, he didn’t sleep well at night.

He had to wake up several times a night to check on his daughter.

Dolores replied, “No.”

He frowned and thought, “Do you think I’m stupid? How do you know I wake up during the night when you’re sleeping?”

He realized that what he had said was not convincing as he finished his words.

Wendy lowered her head, as if she was superfluous and uncomfortable.

“Mrs. Nelson.” She spoke suddenly, “I have no appetite, I’ll be back first today, thank you for inviting me.”

As she spoke, she stood up.

Dolores also got up and asked, “Is it because of the Boyce affair, so you can’t eat?”

“Yes, now his fate is still unknown, how can I eat?” he acted annoyed.

Dolores said, “Then I won’t force you.”

Wendy got up from her seat and Dolores escorted her out.

“Do you need me to call a driver to take you?” she asked politely.

She waved her hand and said, “No, I drove here, you can come back.”

After watching her leave, he closed the door and went inside, then sat down and said, “What kind of attitude did you show towards her? It’s not polite that you didn’t respond when she spoke to you. After all she is Boyce’s girlfriend, I noticed that you and Armand don’t like her very much.”

Matthew looked at her, “Do you like her?”.

She said pertinently, “It’s not that I don’t like her, I just don’t think she’s as innocent as she seems.”

Matthew knew she had remarried and rejected Boyce before, so he asked someone to secretly check her out.

Maybe Boyce didn’t even know what he had discovered.

He raised his eyes, “She and Boyce aren’t right.”

He put the phone in front of Dolores, “See for yourself.”

She picked up the phone curiously and swiped her finger to unlock the screen.
