Chapter 711: Chapter 711



“What’s wrong?” Dolores glanced at her son who was standing in front of the couch.

Andrew pointed to his sister who was still crying, “He wants to play Cat and Mouse but cries when he loses.”

“You’re such a nuisance.” Amanda wiped away her tears, ran to her dad and mom and complained, “It’s so annoying.” Dolores gave her a wordless look.

She was worried when Amanda freaked out and didn’t speak for a long time, but she was back to her old self after she recovered.

“When are you going to stop being a telltale?”

Matthew Nelson reached out to pat her head, “Admit your failure.”

Jasmine Burke picked up the pillows and toys that had just been thrown everywhere.

Amanda thought her father would bias her and reprimand her brother, but to her surprise, it was not favored, so she curved her lips and ran back to help Jasmine clean up the toys.

“This child is not to be spoiled, if you spoil her, she might cry again this time,” Dolores said to the man beside her.

Matthew turned to give her a look, “You mean I’m spoiling her?”.

Dolores said, “You know it yourself.”

After finishing her words, Jasmine walked over, “Leave it, let Coral clean it up.”

She stood up with her hands clutching the hem of her clothes nervously, “It’s okay, it’s not tiring.”

Dolores smiled and said amiably, “You’re not used to it, are you?”.

Jasmine lowered her head, “It’s fine.”

Dolores could tell she was a little nervous as she felt uncomfortable living here. After all, she didn’t know anyone and hadn’t spent much time with them.

“My two sons are very scruffy.” Dolores spoke to her to lighten the mood and also tried to reach out to her to make her feel less contained.

She smiled and said, “They are very cute and smart.”

Dolores sat down on the couch and asked him to sit down too.

“Let me help you tidy up.” She squatted down in front of the basket of toys and picked them up with Amanda.

The toys had spilled out when they played cat and mouse, and many small pieces were rolling all over the place.

“When is Boyce Shawn coming back?” asked Amanda as she tilted her head and looked at Jasmine.

Boyce hadn’t called her and she hadn’t taken the initiative to contact him because she knew he must be busy and had a lot of things to take care of when he got back.

She couldn’t help him, all she could do was not cause him any trouble.

“I don’t know too.”

Amanda blinked, “Aren’t you his girlfriend, how come you don’t know his whereabouts?”

Jasmine was amused since she seemed to know so much since she was a child.

“Even if I am his girlfriend, I can’t deprive him of his time, can I? He has his own things to do.”

Amanda couldn’t quite understand.

“There are so many things in the adult world. Girlfriends also change one after another.”

Soon her smile changed.

She clearly knew Amanda was referring to her and Wendy Miller.

“She’s a child. She’s immature.” Dolores was afraid to think about it too much.

Jasmine busied herself shaking her head, “It’s my fault really.

If you noticed, it looked like she was the third party that had separated Boyce and Wendy.

Andrew helped his sister put the basket of toys in the corner and said, “Let’s go to the bedroom.”

Amanda nodded, “Is Grandpa in the study room? I want to see what they’re doing.”

“Let’s go then.” The two walked toward the study room hand in hand.

They now had a close bond and she forgot that she had just cried.

Coral sat down on the couch and looked at Dolores, “Did Boyce tell you about my situation?”

Dolores said, “He had mentioned something, but he didn’t say it in detail.”

Jasmine interlocked her hands and said after being silent for a while, “I have no parents, let alone a good family environment. I can’t help you in any way…”

“Boyce is not the kind of person who needs to depend on others’ help in his business, you just have to take care of his life,” Dolores interrupted her.

She felt that the relationship is pure, as long as she was clear whether she liked him or not, nothing else mattered and there was no need to worry.

If she thought about it too much, she would tie her own hands.

Jasmine smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Dolores’ words had enlightened her. Even after following Boyce back, she was still unsure and had no idea if she had been right or wrong to do so.

She was now sure that Boyce and she loved each other.

Although there was an age difference between them, it was not important.

Dolores patted his hands, “Rest soon.” She nodded.

Dolores got up and went upstairs, then pushed open the bedroom door and noticed someone talking on the phone.

Vaguely hearing that he was talking about something to do with the doctor, she felt nervous and lightened her steps to approach, trying to hear what he was saying clearly. However, just as she approached, Matthew hung up the phone. When he turned around and saw Dolores standing behind him, he froze for a moment, “When did you come upstairs?”

“I just came upstairs, who were you talking to on the phone?” Dolores cocked her head and asked.

Matthew, who had showered, was wearing silk pajamas and Dolores could smell the scent of his body wash as he stood near her.

“I got a call from the head of the M-Country branch, saying he had contacted a specialist at Mayo Medical Center for a consultation for you. We’ll go there tomorrow afternoon.”

Dolores nodded and said, “Okay.”

Matthew slipped his arm around her shoulders and headed inside, “Let’s go to bed.”

She asked him to sleep first, “I’ll go wash up.”

The next day, they woke up early as did the two children as they knew they were going to school while Jasmine helped Coral prepare breakfast.

After lunch, Dolores prepared the relevant paperwork for the two children to go to school. The two children were somewhat excited as they put on their school bags.

She smiled because she thought they were very cute and wondered why they were so excited since there were no books in their backpacks yet.

After dressing them, she braided her daughter’s hair and explained, “You are a big boy since you go to elementary school…”

“I can’t be whimsical, I have to be polite and respectful. You’ve said it many times, I know and I remember, you should stop saying it all the time, Mommy,” Amanda said with some impatience.

Andrew pinched her cheek, “Look at your impatient look, you’re ugly.”

“The ugly one is you!” she hated it when others commented on that.

Dolores sighed and seemed to have no choice with them.

At the dining room table, Matthew said to Jayden Nelson, “I’m taking Lola overseas.”

“Going overseas at this time? I don’t think it’s wise for her to go now.”

Matthew also had the same opinion.

If they wanted to go abroad, it was better to wait until she gave birth.

He didn’t hide it from the two elders, “She’s in poor health, she has to go for a check-up.”

“What’s wrong?” Jayden was also worried about Dolores and the baby.

“I’m not sure yet, I’ll let you know when the test is done and the exact result is released,” he said.

“You go with no worries. We’ll take care of the house and the kids.”

Jayden, however, was not so optimistic. Since they had to go overseas, it had to be no small thing. He stood up and put his hand on Matthew’s shoulder and gripped him firmly, “Whether it’s good or bad, tell me truthfully.”

He replied, “I will.”

Today was the first day of school and they both went to pick up the children. The driver drove the car while they sat in the back with the two children.

When Amanda woke up in the morning, she always had a smile on her face.

It seemed to make you want to go to elementary school.

There were a lot of people at the school entrance and the fancy cars that were parked on the shoulder in a row had blocked the road. The guards were evacuating people from the surrounding area and Matthew frowned as Amanda tugged him to make his way through the crowd, “Move slower.”

It was easy to bump into each other as there was a crowd.

On top of the school building, there was a man standing there staring at Amanda. Her fists clenched tightly as she met his smile and happy gaze.
