“I’ve someone I like…”
“No…”
Before Dolores could finish her words, Charles kissed her out of a sudden and stopped what she was
going to say.
Dolores’ pupil constricted, and she wanted to push Charles away out of instinct.
“Don’t push me away. Just this once… Just once.” Charles begged in a coarse voice.
Dolores was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat. She could feel Charles’ sorrow and that he was
choking up.
Her body was stiff.
After a while, Charles’ lips moved from Dolores’ lips to her cheeks, then stopped beside her ears,
“When Jeffery framed you, I knew it was a chance for me to take revenge for my foster father, but on
top of that, you’re the reason too. I didn’t want you to be bothered by anything bad. Matthew would still
be kind to Jeffery if he didn’t know the truth. I believe he won’t look back after I reveal the truth. He
would do what he could to have vengeance for you. All in all, I did underestimate your love for him. I’m
jealous, and I’m envious. Please take good care of yourself. You’ll be losing a man who loves you from
now on.”
Charles quickly turned around, “I’ll leave, and I won’t disappoint you this time. It will be our last meeting
today. I will not step foot into City B anymore. Now, go.”
Dolores gazed at Charles’s back, “Thank you.”
Then, Dolores called Boyce, who stood outside of the room.
Soon, Boyce walked in and glanced at Charles.
“Let’s go,” Dolores said softly.
Boyce didn’t say anything and pushed Dolores out of the room.
Boyce asked after they got into the lift, “Is it done?”
Dolores looked and sounded cold. It was like she didn’t want to talk about it, “Yes.”
“Boyce, I’m tired,” Dolores pressed her glabella.
Boyce wasn’t dumb. He knew Charles wouldn’t help to hide the truth without asking for something.
Boyce had to remind Dolores, “I believed that you knew Matthew’s temper well. It wasn’t a secret how
Charles felt about you. He won’t grant your request without asking for something. I hope you would
reject him directly if his terms were about you.”
Dolores raised her head and looked at Boyce, “What do you think he would do to me?”
Boyce remained silent.
Dolores smiled, but there were coldness in her eyes, “You think that we did some sexual agreements?”
“No…”
“It is exactly what you think!” Dolores stopped Boyce.
Boyce looked down, “I’m sorry.”
“You weren’t only humiliating me when you have this thought.”
It was just a thought that flashed through Boyce’s mind, and he blurted it out. It was inappropriate. He
felt bad about it.
After getting out of the lift, Boyce pushed Dolores out of the hotel entrance and headed to the car.
Then, they saw Jayden.
Boyce stopped. Both Jayden and Boyce looked surprised to see each other, but soon, they knew why
both of them came here. It was probably for the same reason.
After Victoria met Charles the other day, she went home and told Jayden about Charles. Victoria asked
Jayden to get somebody to watch Charles, just in case he acted recklessly.
So, Jayden knew what happened in front of the hospital today.
“You went to see Charles?” Jayden kept his hand behind his back.
Dolores answered, “Yes. He will leave City B, and the doctor would be gone as well.”
Jayden raised his brows. He didn’t expect the case to resolve so soon.
“He put great effort to find the person, and now he promised to leave town and not reveal the truth?”
Boyce looked at Dolores. He wanted to know why Charles decide to let go as well.
“Charles didn’t want to reveal the truth. He was aiming at Jeffery, and he wanted vengeance for
Nathan. He knew it wasn’t an easy task to deal with Jeffrey, so he decided to go back to White City
first,” Dolores explained.
Jayden was still in doubt, but since Dolores explained what happened, he didn’t want to mess things
up. Jayden sighed, “Just tell Matthew the truth if the secret is out.”
Jayden had aged, and he felt tired for all these years.
Dolores was surprised. After all these years of hiding, Jayden suddenly didn’t care about the secret
anymore? Then why she needed to come and see Charles?
“I don’t want him to hear it from other people. It must be either from me, you, or Victoria.”
Dolores frowned. She couldn’t take this answer, “Then why did you hide the truth from him? Did you
ever care about how he’d feel? Did you want him to kneel before Victoria and repent for his coldness all
these years, or did you want him to fight Jeffery until one of them is dead? You knew how Jeffrey felt
about Jolene… I’m sorry. I over-reacted.”
Dolores closed her eyes and rested her forehead on her hand. She almost had a nervous breakdown.
Jayden wasn’t triggered. What Dolores said made sense. They hid the truth from Matthew since the
beginning and allowed him to grow grudges in his heart, and now…
“It’s getting late. Let’s go home,” when Jayden wanted to turn around, he was reminded of something.
He looked at Dolores, “Samuel and Simona missed you. Call me when it’s convenient. I’ll bring them
over to you.”
“Sure,” Dolores said.
Thomas opened the car door. Jayden got into the car and left.
Boyce asked, “Are we leaving now?”
Dolores shook her head. She needed some time to calm herself down. She didn’t want to go home
looking like this, and she didn’t want Matthew to see her like this.
Dolores wasn’t feeling so well. Probably because she was triggered just now, and it affected her baby.
Boyce wanted to console her and patted her on her shoulder, but when his hand almost touched
Dolores’ shoulder, he stopped. He realized it wasn’t appropriate. So, he withdrew his hand.
Boyce stood silently beside Dolores by the roadside.
However, whatever happened was watched by the person in the car that stopped opposite the road.
He raised the car window and drove away quickly soon.
When the car passed Dolores, she raised her head and saw the man in the car. However, the vehicle
was moving so fast, and she couldn’t recognize who was in the car.
The person in the car looked away after Dolores disappeared from his sight.
The night was dark. It began to rain. Raindrops fell gently from the sky.
Matthew had been in the tricky world of business for too long. He could hide his real thoughts pretty
well. No one could pry his thoughts.
Even if Matthew was in a hazardous situation, he could still look calm like nothing happened. This was
the picture now. His expression, his look and even his voice were as cold as the rain outside.
“This is confidential. Report directly to me if you find anything.”
“Sure.”
Soon, the car disappeared in the heavy rain.
Dolores got into the car because of the rain. She didn’t look well. Boyce was worried, “Do you need to
go to the hospital?”
Dolores understood the condition of her body well, “I’m fine. Let’s go home.”
Boyce wanted to say something, but when he saw her exhausted face, he kept quiet.
Soon, the car stopped in the villa.
