Chapter 704: Chapter 704

Matthew clearly saw the people standing in the doorway as he approached, he called out to Dolores, “Boyce is back.”

Dolores didn’t fall asleep; she could hear him once he spoke. She opened her eyes and glanced toward the door; there was a girl with a backpack on her back standing next to Boyce Shawn.

Maybe it was Jasmine Burke.

Soon, Matthew had parked the car in the yard. Dolores unbuckled her seat belt and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

Boyce walked hand in hand with Jasmine toward Dolores, “Sister-in-law.”

Dolores smiled at them and asked, “When did you guys get back?”

Boyce said, “We just got out of the car.”

After saying this, he introduced Jasmine to Matthew and Dolores, “You can call them what I call them.”

Jasmine had seen Matthew before, but this was the first time she had met Dolores. She knew from Boyce that Dolores was young, now she had met her in person and it struck her that Dolores was not only young, but also gave a very nice appearance.

“Nice to meet you.” Jasmine couldn’t call her sister-in-law at the moment.

A little more Boyce had not settled his affair with Wendy Miller, it was inappropriate for her to call this way now.

Dolores smiled, “Let’s go in the house, They must be tired from driving around.”

Boyce said they were not tired, “We are here to ask for your help.”

Dolores and Matthew stood side by side, Dolores looked at Matthew after hearing Boyce’s words, then spoke to Boyce, “Just tell us if you need our help.”

After all, the reason she had faced the dangerous this time, was because of them.

“I have to go back to the station and arrange something with the Miller Family, so I wish for Jasmine to temporarily stay at your house for a few days, I also need to help her settle matters at her school.”

She had dropped out of school, now she wanted to go back, so some paperwork needed to be done and he needed to find the person in charge at the school.

Dolores agreed without hesitation, Boyce wanted to leave Jasmine here because he trusted them.

How could he deny it?

“Let’s go in the house first,” Dolores said smiling.

Boyce nodded.

Matthew didn’t speak from beginning to end, but grabbed Dolores’ hand suddenly. In fact, he didn’t wish there were any other people in the house during this moment, any stranger. Dolores’ situation had really made him suffer, he just wanted peace at home. However, Boyce rarely asked for help, some more Boyce was almost dead because of him, so he had to be okay with it, it didn’t matter for the sake of their friendship or sense.

He was just worried about Dolores, she had something on his mind, but he still had to treat others politely.

He felt uncomfortable.

When he opened the door, the room was full of toys. The two elders were accompanying the two children, the scene seemed so warm.

“Amanda,” Dolores called her daughter. Although she was no longer clingy, she was also not as talkative as in the past. Hearing someone call her name, Amanda Nelson glanced over. She saw that Boyce was here too, put the “pot” down in her hand and stopped cooking the dish, then ran over and stood not far from Boyce.

Seeing Boyce, Amanda remembered again the dangerous scene from that time, and suddenly cried loudly.

Everyone was surprised, Dolores went to her and hugged her, “Mommy is here, don’t be scared.”

She patted her daughter’s back lightly, but this struck a chord.

Amanda wouldn’t stop crying, there was no coaxing her.

Dolores kept helping Amanda dry her tears, her eyes automatically reddened as she watched Amanda cry so hard, her heart ached for her daughter. She kept kissing her daughter’s forehead and cheeks, trying to comfort her frightened soul using her love.

Matthew knew Dolores was so sad, he pulled his daughter away from his arms.

He helped his daughter wipe her tears with her hand, but Amanda suddenly cried out toward Boyce, “Uncle Shawn.”

They were in danger together during that time, seeing him now made her remember the horror, spurring issues she didn’t want to face, but now things were clearly appearing again in her mind.

Boyce walked over to her, reached out patting her on the head and comforted her, “The danger is over and we’re okay now, Amanda doesn’t have to be scared anymore.”

Amanda blinked, tears fell; she sobbed and asked, “Is it true?”

“Yes.” Boyce replied confidently, then said, “Amanda isn’t pretty when she cries.”

Amanda reached up and wiped away the tears, but her shoulders were still shaking. Then she pointed to Jasmine and asked in a hoarse voice, “Who is she?”

Boyce looked at Jasmine and said, “She’s my girlfriend, I just want you to meet her, she’s Jasmine Burke.”

Amanda was a little confused, “Isn’t it that you had already introduced your girlfriend before, why is there another girlfriend again, is she the new one?”

Boyce was speechless.

Jasmine also felt uncomfortable standing next to them.

The air froze for a while, Dolores said to her daughter, “This is the girlfriend Uncle Shawn likes.”

Amanda blinked and leaned back in Matthew’s arms, “Dad, their relationship is very complicated.”

It seemed like Amanda had recovered in a moment, the knot in her heart was untied.

Matthew felt gratified; he reached out to help her wipe away the tears. Amanda hadn’t spoken these days, he hadn’t mentioned it, but he had always worried that this might traumatize her, he hadn’t expected her to recover after seeing Boyce.

If she had known earlier, she would have asked Boyce to come back sooner.

“She’s Boyce’s girlfriend.”

Jasmine bowed politely, Dolores told her she didn’t have to be so polite, “Make yourself at home.”

Jasmine pursed her lips and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t even mention it. Boyce is very close to us, you are welcome to join.” Dolores said smiling.

Jasmine stared at Dolores, she wondered why Dolores looked so beautiful when she smiled. Besides, she was so nice, she didn’t put on airs, even if she was rich, Jasmine had grown fond of Dolores.

Jasmine was slightly relieved, she was always worried that she wouldn’t get along with Dolores, or that Dolores would look down on her when she arrived.

She hadn’t expected Dolores to be so friendly and approachable.

“Coral.” Dolores called out to Coral, “Please tidy up the room Theresa stayed in earlier.”

Coral said, “Sure.”

Actually, there wasn’t much to tidy up, the sheet and blanket were already washed, she just had to put some toiletries in the sink.

Boyce wanted to go out for a while since there was still some time left, he said to Dolores, “Sister-in-law, I have to go out, sorry to bother you for taking care of Jasmine. I’m worried about not being able to settle things with the Miller Family in a short time, it’s inappropriate to let him meet Jasmine, but I’m also worried about letting Jasmine stay somewhere else, so…”

“I understand.”

Dolores knew that Boyce was worried that Wendy Miller was unwilling to break up with him, and that it might hurt Jasmine if she knew of his existence.

Actually, Boyce was right.

If he took Jasmine home now and let Wendy see her, it would be difficult to settle the matter.

Therefore, Boyce had let Jasmine stay here without worrying about anything.

Jasmine nodded, “Go about your business.”

Boyce left after talking to Jayden and Victoria. After Coral tidied up the room, Dolores led Jasmine into the room, “You can stay in this room, my friend had stayed here earlier. You can call me or Coral if you need any help, you can rest first as you may be tired from riding in the car. I will call you when dinner is ready.”

Jasmine clutched her hem. Although Dolores was friendly, she was still unfamiliar with this place. Besides, there was an attached bathroom in the guest room and the decor was very luxurious, she felt inferior to these wealthy people and couldn’t fit in well.

“I’m sorry to bother you,” Jasmine said embarrassed. After all, Dolores was pregnant, but she still had to take care of her, Jasmine apologized.

“It’s okay, stay here without worrying. Boyce will fix things for you when he’s done fixing things,” Dolores said.

She believed Boyce had some plans, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought Jasmine back.

Jasmine nodded.

Dolores returned to the living room after arranging for Jasmine to stay here, Victoria Forbis walked past her and lowered her voice asking, “How old is this little girl?”

Dolores wasn’t sure how old Jasmine was, she just knew she was in her first year of college.

Victoria smiled, she seemed to think Jasmine was too young.

Jayden didn’t care about Jasmine’s age, he was glad that Boyce was safe, indeed Boyce already had a girlfriend. He was happy with him, but he was still paying full attention to his grandson and granddaughter, he carried his granddaughter from his son’s arms, “Come here, Grandpa is still playing with you.”

Amanda sniffed, she still had the tear marks on her face, she nodded and said, “It’s okay.”

There was someone watching her daughter, Matthew didn’t worry, he helped Dolores up the stairs after handing her daughter to Jayden.

Matthew closed the door after entering the room, he helped Dolores sit down next to the bed, “I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Dolores glanced around .
