Dolores snuggled in his arms and shook her head, “I just don’t want you to listen to Charles’s
nonsense. He wants to take revenge for his adoptive father. So, he just wants to make use of our
conflict with Jeffery and take this advantage to gain benefits.”
Armand drove the car but he was curious about Charles’s words. Jayden took a woman to a small
clinic to give birth over thirty years ago, who was that woman? Did Jayden have another woman
besides Victoria? Could it be that Matthew might have an illegitimate sister or brother outside?
After all, Victoria claimed to the public that she was married to Jayden for the rest of her life without
giving birth. So, he could only exclude Victoria.
However, he assumed that Charles had an ulterior motive after hearing Dolores’s words. Therefore, he
did not ask anymore.
Matthew bit his lip as he moved his arm around her neck and hugged her. He caressed her face gently
with his fingers, “How come you don’t trust me? Can’t I see his little trick?”
Dolores hugged his waist and leaned on his chest. She narrowed her eyes while pondering, “I think that
I’m blindly worrying. You must be able to spot his trick.”
Matthew could not continue listening to Charles’s words no matter what now. Otherwise, this secret that
had been hidden for over thirty years would be revealed.
If this matter was known by Jeffery, the consequences would be disastrous.
He was already so crazy like this for her just being close to Victoria. What if he knew that Matthew was
not her nephew, not the child born by his dear sister but Victoria’s child.
How would he feel about these years of pride and genuine affection for Victoria’s son?
How revengeful he would be?
Matthew might not lose but nobody could avoid this trouble completely if they really broke apart. At that
time, none of them would be benefited as City B was the gathering place of all rich nobility. Nobody
could replace Matthew and Jeffery as long as both families did not break apart even though many
families wanted to replace their status. However, some would be able to take advantage of the situation
if they broke apart and suffered loss together.
She could not share his burden under her current situation. Instead, she would bring more trouble to
him and cause him to be very passive.
She hoped that he knew this matter a bit later even if he would find it out sooner or later. It was at least
after she had given birth or when she was stable enough to take care of herself and not burden him.
She was even worried about how he would accept this fact.
How was he going to deal with the fact that the person he had hated for over twenty years was his
biological mother?
She was afraid that he would know the truth as she cared about him.
In this matter, she admitted that she was selfish in not wanting him to face the past.
It was too cruel for him.
The truth covered by his biological father, as well as his biological mother’s lie and helplessness, had
kept him in the dark for more than twenty years. He was overwhelmed with anger and hatred as he was
cynical and sarcastic to them.
But if he was told not to have any of that anger or hatred, then how would he feel about such a
situation?
Regretting sadly that he was wrong all these years and should not have any of that anger or hatred.
But…what fault had he done?
Why should he bear all these consequences?
She would have rather that he, Matthew was the son of Jayden and Jolene.
Victoria was willing to spend the rest of her life loving him affectionately. She knew no matter how much
love could not alleviate the pain of not being able to acknowledge her own child. However, only a
person withstood that kind of pain.
If the truth was revealed, the most innocent person would be Matthew. He was given an identity before
he was even born, but then he had to bear all these consequences.
It was so unfair to him!
Her eyelashes were slightly moistened by her tears as she moved her face towards his heart and
listened to his heartbeat, “I’m used to thinking that I will never have a crush on anybody or even love
somebody. But after I have met you, things that I thought could never happen to me have turned into
reality. I know what it feels like to love somebody and how my heartbeat palpitates. I get worried,
sometimes empty and also afraid of losing you.”
Matthew could feel that she was indeed moody, so he hugged her slightly trembling body and kissed
her hair, “Silly, don’t think nonsense every day. Who else do I belong to if not yours? Don’t you say that
you will cripple me if I dare to run away, why are you conceding now?”
Dolores sniffled, “I once read a book, it said that women are most emotional when they are pregnant.
That’s probably what is happening to me now.”
She raised her head and her eyelashes were still moistened by her tears. She then said hoarsely,
“After I have settled my problems, let’s bring our children and go live abroad, okay? Go for a simple
and peaceful life away from this chaos. We don’t need a big home but with you, me and our children
inside. I’m responsible for cooking and taking care of the kids while you are responsible for earning
money to support the family. We can bring them hiking, trekking, watching the sunrise and sunset over
the weekend, watching the kids gradually grow up as we grow older…”
However, she did not know that the moment the intricate mystery of his background was revealed, they
would have to take up their responsibilities and eventually be tied by family bonds.
He moved towards her and kissed away the tears in her eyes, “Listen to everything you say.”
She closed her eyes and quietly felt the peace of this moment.
She was afraid of Charles’s appearance and this peace would be broken at any moment.
She smiled charmingly with her curved eyebrows. Although her eyelashes were still wet, she could not
stop the radiance at that moment like soft sunlight shining into her heart bit by bit.
