Chapter 851: Chapter 851



.

Jasmine lowered her head shyly. Although she was shy and didn’t tell them, but they all knew she was giving the tacit admission.

Dolores was the first to speak, “Congratulations.”

Theresa was unable to respond shortly, only congratulating them after a long time. Dolores was already a mother of three, and Jasmine had also become pregnant now.

Leaving only Armand and her who were childless, she turned her head to Armand, she wanted to know how he felt knowing that Boyce had become a daddy.

Armand, however, showed only a calm face. In fact, he was startled for a moment when he found out, to be exact, it was ‘envy’.

Envy them, because he was the only one who couldn’t have children.

But he soon realized that this was his life, there was nothing to envy. He would live with Theresa forever if they didn’t have a child, besides there were so many people who didn’t want children nowadays, it wasn’t a big deal if he didn’t have a child.

The most important thing was that he couldn’t let Theresa discover his emotion.

He knew her sensitivity very well, so he was more concerned about Theresa’s feelings.

He smiled so happily at this moment, he even joked, “Boyce is having double happiness today, he is promoted and he has a happy family, so now there are already three people in his family. He is winning in life, just for this alone, I want to congratulate him.”

As Armand was speaking, he stood up and picked up a glass again, then placed it in front of Boyce and poured the wine. Boyce had already had a glass, adding Jasmine’s, now Armand had given him another glass again, so there were three glasses in all. Armand held up his glass, “One glass for me, three glasses for you.”

Boyce looked up, “Why one glass for you, but three glasses for me?”.

Armand looked at him coldly, “Why, you have double happiness, isn’t it that you should drink three glasses? I sincerely wish it for you, don’t you appreciate it?”.

Boyce was speechless.

What nonsense?

Well, he couldn’t out-speak Armand, so he could only drink them.

Armand and Boyce touched their glasses, but Armand only took a sip while Boyce drank the whole glass. After the second brush of their glasses, Armand again took a sip while Boyce drank another glass of wine. After the third brush of their glasses, Armand finished drinking the remaining wine while Boyce finished drinking another glass of wine again.

After putting the glass down, Armand felt so happy, he immediately refilled the three glasses for Boyce, then spoke to Matthew and Dolores, “Today is Boyce’s red day, you guys will want it too.”

Boyce looked at the glasses in front of him, then looked at Armand, “Don’t let him get you.”

Armand laughed, “I guess you won’t get the chance, maybe you can only joke with me in the next life.”

“Be careful, extreme joy breeds sadness.”

“If there are many difficulties in life, then I must have already experienced them all, what’s left in my life will be the happy days. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. I had already suffered a lot, and now good things have finally come, I will live a happy life in the future.” Armand poured himself a glass of wine, then raised his glass and touched it to Theresa’s, “Let’s have a drink.”

Theresa looked at him, the corners of her mouth curved, then gulped down the glass of wine.

Armand put the glass down and looked toward Dolores, “Dolores, wish him quickly, there is rarely an opportunity to force him to drink and not have him refuse. If not, it will be difficult for him to get another chance again.”

Dolores smiled and said, “You’re right. Boyce is usually the most mature and steady, his love has come late, but it has come at the right time. Now he’s reaped his love and his career, it’s really worth celebrating.”

He raised the glass and gave Boyce a look, “Congratulations.”

Boyce raised the glass helplessly, “Dolores, why…”

“Cut the crap, just drink, quickly drink.” Boyce pushed the bottom of his glass and forced the wine into his mouth.

This caused everyone to burst out laughing.

The meeting had ended satisfactorily, but Boyce had had too much to drink. Dolores had drunk with him, followed by Matthew, and then Armand said again, “I feel like I want to show you that I sincerely want you, so I congratulate you again.”

Boyce was forced to drink again another three drinks, so drunk was he.

After calling someone to drive for them, Armand and Theresa had stayed saying they wanted to help Dolores clean up the place, but Dolores had asked them to come back.

“It’s already late, when will you finish cleaning the place if you were to do it by yourself?”. Theresa was going to help her, but Dolores pushed her hand away, “Don’t do it, go home with Armand. I’ll clean this up and throw it in the trash can, then throw it out. There’s not much to wash up, aren’t you going back to C-town? Hurry back and get some rest.”

“All right then.” It was inopportune for Theresa to say anything again since Dolores had spoken this way.

Matthew and Armand were talking in the living room.

Matthew told him that Oscar was older now and had let Armand attend to him more.

Armand understood.

When the driver arrived, Armand and Theresa left the bungalow, but Dolores stopped them, “Theresa, Armand…”

“Is there anything else, Dolores?” Armand turned his head.

Dolores wanted to ask them to help her take care of Joshua initially, but she wanted to let her son stay by Jayden’s side because of his illness, so she needed to delay this matter.

“Nothing, be careful on the way back.”

She would just wait and tell them when the time came.

“Okay, we’re leaving now.”

Dolores waved to them, “Goodbye.”

When everyone left, the whole bungalow was silent in a moment.

Dolores was clearing the table, Matthew approached her, “I’ll help you.”

Dolores turned him down, “Your hands will get greasy later.”

She looked up, “Do you know how to do this?”

“I can learn.” Matthew gave a calm, cold look, he hadn’t smiled again since Jayden got sick.

Dolores knew he was unhappy, she sighed quietly and said, “Help me throw him in the trash can outside.”

She cleaned all the stuff off the table and put it in a garbage bag, then gave it to Matthew.

Tonight the sky was very dark and gentle.

When Matthew returned from throwing out the garbage, the dining room table was already clean. Dolores was standing in front of the sink and washing glasses.

His body pressed against hers from behind, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Without the erotic sensation, he just wanted to hold her.

Dolores didn’t move, she turned off the faucet, letting only a small volume of water flow. She took the glass and washed herself in the water, then spoke with the sound of running water surrounding them, “There are not only good things in our life, sometimes bad things will also happen suddenly, I will be by your side no matter how difficult the situation is.”

She looked up, her eyelashes brushed the corners of her eyes because they were too close.

Matthew took the glass from her hand and turned off the tap, “Come sit with me for a while.”

He led Dolores into the living room and sat down on the couch. Bright light illuminated the interior, as if it were daytime. However, the atmosphere around them was heavy and depressing, their emotions not improved by the bright light.

Meanwhile, at the other place, Jasmine and Boyce had arrived at their lodgings.

Boyce had had too much to drink, and Jasmine could not support him. The driver was good-natured, so he had helped her get Boyce into the house.

After putting Boyce to bed, Jasmine had poured the driver a glass of water, “Take a sip before you go.”

“Okay.” The driver waved at her and left, Jasmine then closed the door. After re-entering the house, she put some water in a basin and placed it next to the bed, then removed Boyce’s clothes.

Boyce was in a daze, he felt someone tugging at his clothes.
