Dolores Flores didn’t make Marina’s intention clear, but deliberately said, “She said you are privileged
while I’m nothing, as if she was telling me that I don’t match you. After all, I don’t have a prominent
family and uncountable wealth. We aren’t the right match for each other if we stay together.”
She thought in her mind that she indeed had none of these and she was afraid that she would never be
able to own them in her life. The only thing she could do was to stand by his side.
She wanted to stay with him through thick and thin.
Matthew Nelson glanced at her, but he didn’t say anything, returned to his seat and started his car.
She turned her head and look at him, “Don’t you even have anything to say?”
He looked straight ahead and there was an undercurrent in his eyes. If he just thought that Jeffery
Harris might have concealed something from him before, then he could already be sure now.
If Marina wanted to call him and Dolores for dinner, it would be enough to inform him alone.
There was absolutely no need for Marina to specifically run to Dolores’s boutique.
Moreover, since he could remember things, it seemed that the person responsible for contacting him
was Marina. Even though Marina was close to him, he rarely called her.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to contact with her, but he preferred her to help him out after a long time.
However, he took the initiative to contact her twice in a row this time.
This was enough to explain the problem. In addition, Dolores wasn’t in a right mood, so it must have
something happened.
Probably Dolores also knew something about this matter, but he didn’t know how much she knew about
it.
“No one can interfere in my affairs.”
Neither could Jeffery!
He made his attitude clear. As long as he liked, no one could stop him!
She took the initiative to lean on his shoulder, “Do you believe in fate?”
“No.” He only believed in himself.
She tilted her head, looked at him and said seriously, “I believe.”
“Don’t you think we’re destined for each other?”
In that night, something that was unpredicted occurred. They thought that they would never cross paths
with each other again anymore, but it was unexpected that they had a betrothal when they were still
young.
What an amazing destiny.
He hugged her with one of his hand. The corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly and his white
teeth shined brightly, “You’re right about everything.”
She took a glance at him, “Are you brushing me off?”
He grabbed her hand, pressed it against his chest and smiled, “It’s true. I swear.”
She didn’t talk to him as she really might not be able to outargue him.
He is as shameless as a hoodlum.
At this moment, the car stopped at the restaurant which Jeffery said.
It was a Chinese restaurant.
Jeffery was more old-fashioned and he disliked western food. Thus, he always chose a few restaurants
that had a good taste of Chinese food in City B.
This restaurant was one of them. In order to provide guests a different experience, it was decorated in
a unique style with a Chinese frame and modern details. The waiters wore in black suits while
waitresses wore in cheongsams. When both stood together, it showed particularly a harmonious match.
As they approached, the greeter at the entrance immediately pushed the door open and showed an
inviting gesture.
Upon entering, a waiter in a black suit with a collar badge walked over, “Do you have an appointment?”
Matthew nodded slightly, “I’m looking for Mr. Harris.”
“Please follow me.” The waiter knew that he was the guest of the private room as soon as he heard it,
then he led the way politely and respectfully.
When he reached the door of the room, he stepped aside, “It’s here.”
Dolores grabbed his arm tightly as she suddenly felt nervous to face Jeffery.
Matthew held her hand and put it into his arm, saying in a low voice, “I’m here.”
She pursed her lips and nodded gently.
As the door was opened, Jeffery was sitting in the middle with a beautiful woman sitting next to him
inside the spacious room.
Two of them were talking and seemed to have a good conversation as they showed their smiles on
their faces.
They looked towards the door at the same time when the door was opened.
The woman’s gaze fell on Matthew first before falling on Dolores.
The moment Jeffery saw Dolores had come, his smile gradually disappeared and his expression turned
stern and icy.
There was no way that Matthew hadn’t noticed such a drastic change in his demeanour.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly hid and walked in with Dolores.
Chloe was enthusiastic, “We were talking about you guys just now!”
Dolores glanced at her. Perhaps both of them were women and women knew more about each other,
she clearly felt that this woman was getting close to them on purpose, especially towards Matthew.
“I wonder what you’ve said about us?” Dolores asked with a smile.
“You’re Mrs. Nelson, right?” She replied, “You’re so young and pretty.”
She had a way with words.
Dolores maintained her decent smile, “You flatter me. I’m not young either as my child is six years old
now. You’re younger.”
The corners of Chloe’s eyes twitched slightly as Jeffery had told her that Matthew was married, but it
was a hidden marriage. How come she even had a child?
Jeffery was going to tell her, but he hadn’t had the chance.
He patted her shoulder. Both of them didn’t speak. They only made an eye contact.
It seemed to be saying that he would tell her about this matter.
He was unhappy and angry at Marina for not getting things done. However, there was nothing he could
do about it since she had come.
The reason he didn’t explicitly tell Matthew to divorce Dolores was because he could see that Matthew
cared a lot about her.
He remembered that Matthew protected her at every turn. He even didn’t mind about the surnames of
his two children.
He knew more or less about Matthew’s character, so he didn’t dare to talk to him at all. As long as
Matthew didn’t agree, there was nothing he could do.
It would be too late for him to do anything about it.
As soon as he made a move, Matthew would know that he was the one who did it.
All he could do now was to secretly get Dolores out of the way.
No …
In the last resort he would use the same trick again.
He would never allow Dolores and Victoria were of one mind!
“Let me introduce. This is the daughter of my colleague, Chloe.” He looked at Matthew and said
deliberately, “You’ve met her that day at the hotel, right?”
Dolores’s heart thumped for a moment.
He had met with this woman at hotel?
“You don’t need to introduce this. He’s in City B. Everyone in this whole country knows it and besides,
we have met before …”
As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently skimmed over Dolores’s face.
Dolores clenched her hands under the table and her palm was sweating. However, her face looked
extremely calm, “What you said is right. There’s a lot of people who know him and it’s not surprising
that he knows you.”
Chloe was choked for a while and her smile looked slightly unnatural.
Matthew looked at Dolores aslant as he remembered that she was also eloquent at the first time he
confronted her.
