The old guy was acting mysterious, “Once you see the person you will know who that is. Now eat your
meal properly.”
“Then when can she come back?” Dolores questioned.
She was slightly emotional, she was also filled with questions, “Do I know this person?”
“I see that you are usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?” The old guy’s tone
was serious, “As the saying goes, impatience spoils great plans.”
The old guy stood up, “Eat your meal properly, I’ll head back to the house first.”
Dolores nodded, she had been too anxious. Him telling her all these today, meant that he was willing to
tell her everything that she wanted to know.
Now she only had to wait patiently for her sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion that
surrounded her would clear up.
Compared to the silence in the back, the front compound was very busy.
Because Dolores wanted to stay back, Charles didn’t leave too. He didn’t bring much people, only his
assistant Tom had followed him. Compared to the many people surrounding Matthew, he appeared to
be weaker.
The stream was trickling, the surface of the water shimmering, like countless stars falling into the river.
The two kids, Armand and Theresa were playing a game of chess, Matthew stood alone on the bridge
and looked towards the back compound.
The farm was different from the city. In the city, lights were everywhere. Here, once night fell,
everywhere was pitch dark. It was only under good moonlight that they can see the surroundings.
At this moment, the back compound was pitch black, he couldn’t see anything, what’s more Dolores’
shadow. His put his hands in his pocket, but he didn’t retract his gaze, as if anticipating her
appearance.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Nelson and his wife’s relationship to be so good.” Charles rolled his wheelchair over
, and stopped by the riverside, and smiled lightly, “A saying goes, a day that goes by without meeting
each other feels like three years?”
Matthew’s expression in the shadowy light darkened and lit up. He turned around coldly, and looked
down on him, “I think Mr. White should go be the paparazzi, you’re so concerned about others’ private
matters. Staying back in White City would be a waste for such a talent.”
Charles expression changed slightly, but in the dark night, no one could tell, “I am instead curious, Mr.
Nelson, why did you let the two kids follow the last name of the wife? Unless, when Ms. Flores gave
birth to them, Mr. Nelson you had no clue at all?”
These few days, Charles had gotten some information from Samuel, it was that when Dolores gave
birth to her children, Matthew and her had been divorced.
Therefore, the two children followed Dolores’ last name.
Charles laughed, “I thought I had no chance, I think now I do?”
Matthew’s gaze flickered to the side and noticed that there was a shadow by the door. It was a small
shadow, and when the little person noticed that he looked over, he immediately hid himself. He raised
his eyebrows slightly, he could already guess who that was, but he didn’t let out that he had noticed
anything.
He raised his eyes, his handsome face carried a tinge of coldness, his expression was dark, “That will
depend on whether Mr. White has the capabilities.”
Charles laughed lightly, “Any chance is better than nothing, don’t you think so Mr. Nelson? I still stand a
chance, meaning that I have to thank you Mr. Nelson.”
Matthew walked over slowly, every step was firm and steady, when he passed by Charles, his lips
raised slightly, “My wife, she doesn’t like cripples, if you want to chase her, stand up first.”
Finishing his words, without a second look, he left.
The smile on Charles face couldn’t continue any longer. Not being able to walk, was the biggest pain in
his heart.
His fingers on the handles slowly clenched, the veins in his hands surfaced, he was very angry.
Matthew’s footsteps, slowly stopped, even without looking, he knew that Charles’ face was very
terrible, “Mr. White, anger is bad for your health.”
With disdain, he continued walking, just when he stepped into the door, he took a look at the door, on
the floor was a small shadow. This height and size definitely belonged to a child.
And there were only two children here, Samuel and Simona.
Simona was an innocent little kid, she definitely wouldn’t think of eavesdropping on him, but the other…
It went without saying, it was definitely Samuel.
He sighed slightly, when would this little kid ever clear up his misunderstandings towards him?
But definitely, he had done wrong.
He had abandoned them first, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he was still at wrong.
It was his negligence that had resulted in what happened.
To sooth his anger and hatred, it would require time.
But it’s good that there was still time in the future.
Only when Matthew left, Samuel dared to come out. He looked at the disappearing silhouette at the
door, his gaze changed slightly, his hands that were hanging by his side tightened.
After a moment only he managed to return to his calm manner and walked out the door.
He looked at Charles who was by the riverside, and gave him a call.
“Mr. White.”
Samuel walked over.
Samuel was unlike any other five-year-old child. He was thoughtful, and smart. When Charles tried to
ask something from him, he had sensed it too. But he was willing to use Charles to let Matthew know
that his mum was very popular. If he wanted to chase her back, he had to give both hard work and
sincerity.
If not, there were many people wanting to chase his mum. Even though Charles wasn’t able to walk,
but he was not bad looking, and capable as well. So, he had used the opportunity when Charles was
trying to get information from him, to let him know that Dolores and Matthew aren’t an ordinary husband
and wife.
His aim was to let Charles know that he stood a chance to become Matthew’s competitor.
Let Matthew feel threatened.
Charles had thought that he had gotten some advantageous news for himself through Samuel.
What he didn’t know, was that Samuel had been using him, to prevent Matthew from chasing Dolores
back.
From this, Matthew would realize the importance of Dolores, and treat her better next time.
Once that happened, they could live together as a happy family.
Charles had thought that he had used Samuel, but what he didn’t know was that he was instead used
by Samuel and his cleverness had been overpowered.
It wasn’t that Charles was stupid, it was that Samuel was just a five-year-old child, he wouldn’t have
though that a five-year-old child could be so full of tricks.
“The weather is turning cold, why didn’t you put on more clothes before coming out?” Charles kept his
anger and put on his light smile again.
Samuel lowered his head to look at his costume, and gave a little laugh, “I was in a rush to come out,
didn’t manage to tend to that, is Uncle White alone out here?”
He had asked this intentionally. In fact, he had already overheard their conversation.
“Your dad.” Charles looked at him, “You still have some opinion about your dad right?”
“He had abandoned us in the past, of course I feel something about him, and that something is very
strong.”
Charles laughed, “But at the end of the day, he is still your dad.”
Samuel pretended as if he didn’t care, and said coldly, “Who knows.”
He switched the topic, “Uncle do you want me to push you in.”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
Samuel moved to the side to let him pass, when Charles had navigated himself and headed back to the
house, he then followed behind him slowly. While walking he looked at Charles, he was using this man
to let Matthew know that his mum was very popular, and to treat his mum well, he didn’t want his mum
to be together with a cripple.
He would definitely not accept this man to be together with his mum.
Samuel inhaled deeply, even though he was mad at Matthew, he still hoped that he would be together
with his mum.
It was only a family when his own mum and dad are together.
He was very clear on this.
But now he was worried, that this thing couldn’t be controlled by him.
He was just a child, and had limited abilities.
His thoughts were wandering when he returned to his room, even though the facilities were old, but it
was quiet and suitable for rest.
He jumped onto his bed, and laid down with all fours spread out, and mumbled, “When will mummy
come out.”
He missed her.
Creak –
At this moment the room door opened, he sat up instantly, and looked towards the door.
