Chapter 697: Chapter 697



.

Matthew remembered, “Mailbox.”

She scrolled down the page, found the mailbox, clicked on it and asked, “The first one?”.

He replied, “Um.”

There was no title. She clicked and flipped through it.

The contents showed that Wendy had gone to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, and also listed the time, place, and identity of the doctor.

At first she didn’t pay much attention to it, but then she looked down and saw that it was a copy of the medical record, which was kept on file at the hospital for each patient. It showed that she had miscarried at the time.

Dolores frowned, “She and her ex-husband had children and got a divorce?” He told her to keep reading.

She became more apprehensive, “Didn’t Boyce say that Wendy and her ex-husband had no children and that the reason they divorced was that her husband cheated on her?”

The timing of her miscarriage wasn’t that long ago, it happened about two months ago.

She read on and could no longer keep calm.

Her eyes widened as she saw the evidence of his infidelity, which showed the records of his hotel visits with his mistress. Was she having an affair?

Wasn’t it her ex-husband who had cheated on her?

She gave Matthew a look, “Is this true?”

“It’s true, Abbott Baron went to check it out personally. The only thing that’s not clear now is how she got her husband to take the fall for this and even her parents were kept in the dark.”

She was stunned. Although she didn’t like Wendy very much, she hadn’t expected her to be able to deceive others about this matter. Obviously her character was bad.

Dolores felt her perspective refreshed.

How could she go so far as to deceive her own parents?

Meanwhile she felt shocked, she began to worry about Boyce since Wendy was the one he had personally introduced to them and acknowledged as his girlfriend.

How would he react if he found out?

What was she going to do?

Matthew sighed knowing she was worrying again. He grabbed his phone and found the messages and photo Armand had sent him. The picture was taken by Armand at the door when Jasmine Burke was cooking while Boyce was helping her.

“Take a look at it.” She took it without asking and saw the photo at first glance.

Who was this girl?

She read the messages Armand had sent and knew Boyce was now staying with this girl. Her perception was renewed once again.

He had never expected Boyce to have an affair. Before the affair with Wendy was resolved, he had been staying with another girl over there.

After reading all the messages, he knew roughly what was going on, that the girl he liked was the one he was with now.

The reason he didn’t come back and cheat on Wendy was so she would take the initiative to let him go.

He passed the phone to Matthew, “I didn’t expect Boyce to have so many ideas.”

Last time he only heard Armand’s name, but now he was seeing the real person.

“I don’t think it’s right for him to do that. He’s wasting her time, he should go back and talk to her clearly.”

If she didn’t give up two months later, what would happen to Boyce?

How was he going to explain?

After all, he was the one who promised at the beginning.

“You think he could come up with something like that? According to his character, he should have been back long ago to take care of this matter, most likely it was Armand who gave him the idea.” Matthew was clear about his personalities.

He agreed that it must have been Armand’s idea. If it had been Boyce, he would have come back immediately to talk to her, as he was direct.

“Will you tell him what you’ve discovered?” he asked.

He thought Boyce must know, since it would be beneficial for him to end his relationship with Wendy.

“I’ll tell him,” he nodded, “As for how to deal with it, he would decide that on his own.”

She nodded as well, as she felt that was the most appropriate way.

When he had finished the bowl of soup, Dolores asked, “Would you like more?”

He shook his head, “That’s enough.”

She thought a moment and asked, “Do you like collecting red wine?”.

He frowned and thought, “What kind of question was that?”.

She pursed her lips and showed him the wine cabinet, “There are many wines here. Are they special collections?”.

“No, many wines were given away by other people, what’s wrong?”, he felt afraid because she had never asked him even though those wines had been stored there all the time. What was wrong with him today?

She smiled, “Nothing, I’m suddenly curious. I’m going up first.” She put down the chopsticks and got up.

Now that Amanda was sleeping with her, she had to shower first, so she could cuddle with her after her daughter finished bathing.

When Dolores finished showering, she put on her loose pajamas, lay down on the bed and picked up the phone. Sometimes she chatted for a while with Theresa Gordon about the business of the store.

Theresa was now running it herself and doing well. She had hired a few more designers and had found a few skilled dressmakers and embroiderers with the help of Oscar Adams.

Those custom garments required a high level of craftsmanship on the part of the dressmakers, as the general tailors were unable to complete some of the special designs.

He sent a message to Theresa, but she did not respond.

He thought Theresa was probably busy at work, so he hung up the phone and prepared to go to bed. Then Matthew came in with Amanda in his arms, who had already finished bathing and was wearing a pink silk nightgown with short sleeves and shorts with lace trim. He set her down on the bed and she quickly crawled into his arms. He stood by the side of the bed, looking at Amanda and thinking, “When will you recover?”.

She was so clingy that she didn’t give them time to take a breath.

Dolores shot him a look, “Why are you standing here, aren’t you taking a shower?”

She unbuttoned her blouse with one hand and said, “I’ll take it to the office tomorrow.”

This way, Dolores could rest.

She had always taken Amanda herself when he wasn’t home.

It worried her because Amanda would soon be in first grade, she had grown quite a bit and had put on weight, so it was too tiring to carry her all the time.

Plus, with her health condition.

It was better if he took her to the company.

Dolores was speechless: “Why do you want to take her there?”.

She said, “So she can meet more people, it’s good for her recovery.”

Amanda looked at Matthew and blinked, then turned her head to bury her face in Dolores’ arms, as if rejecting his behavior in this way.

Matthew pretended not to see her and turned away to go to the bathroom.

Dolores lay down and wrapped her arms around him, patting his back, “Are you sleepy?” She shook her head.

Dolores picked up the book on the table ‘Peppa Pig’, “I read you the story.” Amanda nodded.

Dolores lowered her head and kissed her forehead. She was very worried that Amanda, once so lively and playful, had become so quiet.

When Matthew came out of the bathroom, Amanda was still awake, so Dolores moved to make room for him. She walked over to the bed and sat down, reaching out to take the book from his hands, “I’ll read to him.”

She was feeling a little sleepy, so she nodded. She walked over to her daughter, hugged her, and asked intentionally, “Where’s your mommy been?” Indeed, she had heard her.

Amanda pointed to the line Dolores had just read.

She said gently, “Tell daddy where mommy left him, I want to hear you talk.”

She sank her head into his arms and was silent.

He stroked her head and continued to read her the story after sighing.

By the time he fell asleep listening to the story, two hours had passed and Dolores had already fallen asleep. She put down the book and turned off the bedside lamp.

During the night, he heard Dolores’ voice in a daze.

“Hiss …so painful …”
