The car stopped at the villa. He pushed open the door and got down. Sean’s car also stopped at that
time. He pushed open the door quickly and got down to catch up with Matthew.
“Bother...”
Matthew had always taken care of him and he always called him brother. Although it might be not
suitable for him to call Matthew brother now because of his current identity, the habits and feelings over
the years had not changed.
Matthew paused his footsteps for a moment. He turned around and saw Sean running hurriedly.
“I’ve been waiting at the company for a while. My mother called me and asked me to go back, so I
decide on myself to come and meet you. I know what you want to ask.” Sean handed him a letter,
“You’ll understand after you read it.”
Matthew’s face was as deep as water, no joy or anger was visible. Even without reading it, he could
guess what was written in the letter. He reached out his hand and took it. He did not unfold it to read
the content immediately, but glanced at Sean, “In the future, don’t come over again.”
After saying that, he continued to take his steps.
“Why?”
After reading the letter, Sean knew that Victoria was his biological mother, but did not know that
Victoria’s death was caused by Jeffrey.
In his opinion, Dolores’ identity was a happy ending for all as Jeffrey would not think of ways to break
them up. He thought this was a good thing.
Matthew did not explain. Jeffrey’s fault had nothing to do with Sean. He did not want to be angry with
him but he did not want to have anything to do with him either. His expression and tone were very light,
“Please leave.”
“Brother.”
Sean wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but Matthew walked to the door and ordered the
bodyguard who was guarding the villa, “I don’t want anyone to come in and disturb.”
After he said that, he walked inside the house. Sean, who was coming after him, was stopped by the
bodyguards outside the door. He shouted at Matthew, “Isn’t it good for us to know Dolores’ identity? My
father won’t break you up, right? Why are you and Dolores so determined to draw a clear distinction?
Before this, my dad was ridiculous and did a lot of wrong things. However, he knows he’s wrong and
has suffered a lot. He’s gotten his comeuppance. Dolores doesn’t care that he’s her father?”
Matthew did not hesitate to pause his footsteps. He did not answer his question. He shut the door
immediately and isolated his view. His eyes were red and he was eager to go in and ask for
clarification. He tried to break away from the bodyguards, “Move aside, I’ll just go in and have a word
with him.”
“Sorry, you can’t go in.” The bodyguards’ attitudes were clear. They would not let him in. Without
Matthew’s order, they would not let him in.
Sean stomped his feet in anger. However, he could barge himself in, so he could only leave first.
Inside the house, when Coral saw Matthew, she was not calm. She looked at him, “Missus said that
you are treating them to dinner. Why are you coming back? Where are they?”
After hearing Jessica’s words, he could guess why Dolores behaved so strange. It might be because
she planned to leave earlier on.
His face was cold, his eyes were heavy, vaguely revealing a hint of helplessness and heartache, his
tone was light, “When did she leave?”
Coral glanced at the clock on the wall and replied, “Two or three hours ago.”
“Okay.” After saying that, he went upstairs. Coral wanted to ask him where Dolores and the children
had gone, but seeing that Matthew was not in a good mood, she did not dare to ask.
She quietly retreated.
On the first floor, Matthew pushed open the bedroom door. The room was the same as when he left in
the morning, nothing had been moved. He walked in slowly. She did not take her stuff away. She only
brought the two children. The only change was that there was a bouquet of flowers on the table in front
of the window.
He stood in front of the window and unfolded the letter that Sean gave him. After hearing Jessica’s
words, he was not emotional when he was about to read the content of the letter.
However, when he saw that ...
‘Brother, I still have something else to tell you. I’m pregnant. It’s Stanley’s baby. I had done a checkup.
The baby is a girl. I had told Jayden that I want her to marry Matthew. Once again, I’m selfish as I want
my daughter to make up for what I owe to the Nelson family.’
His gaze lingered on the last line of the passage for a long time.
Buzz--
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He pulled it out. The caller ID showed ‘daughter-in-law’ which
was the name he had set up specifically for Dolores.
It was a notification to notify him that a text message had come in.
He paused his movement slightly as he stared at the screen, then he quickly tapped it.
‘When you see this text message, I think you would have already known everything. I wanted to tell you
face to face, but then I realized that I did not have the courage to face you.
I used to think that I was a very strong person, but in this case, I was timid, I was weak, I was afraid, I
was conflicted, and I didn’t dare to face you.
Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, please forgive me for taking Samuel and
Simona away. I had thought of letting them stay with you, but I realized that I needed them more. I am
not so heartbroken when I look at them.
If I could choose, I wish that I can be born in an ordinary family and give you lots of children and live a
normal life, but I can’t choose. There is no choice in this world.
On the day of the car accident when danger came, mum defied the odds and stood in front of me,
blocking all the danger, just to keep me and our child safe. I always had a dream, I dreamt that she lay
above me and told me, ‘Dolores, please help me to take care of him and his children.' I am sorry that I
have to go back on my word as I can’t be with you now. The only thing I can do is take care of our
children.
Matthew, do what you want to do, don’t let yourself regret it, that’s not what I want to see.
Don’t look for me, don’t make me feel sorry to you. I hope that time will erase everything. I am looking
forward to some unplanned time, you and I can meet unexpectedly somewhere and you can look at
me, I can look at you and we can hug each other without any distractions.
I used to think that the so-called love was far away from me, but at this moment I realize that I love you
very much. Even though I had just left, I already missed you like crazy. Mathew, I love you. I love you
very much.
Let’s look forward to the next time we meet, you are Matthew, I am Dolores, you are you, I am me, not
for anyone, not for anything, just simply you and me.
The last thing that I want to ask is, will you miss me?’
He lowered his head and his eyes. He stood there quietly. His originally upright spine was now bent
due to the immense pain. His fingertips were trembling slightly and he was eager to dial the number.
Dolores, who was sitting in the car and had already left City B, was about to turn off her phone and
throw away the card. At that time, she received a call. She looked at the display screen of her phone.
Her heart was like being imprisoned by invisible iron claws, tightly imprisoned. She felt suffocated and
pain until she could not breathe.
She stared blankly for a long time but picked it up at the last moment when it was about to disconnect.
They both knew well who was on the other side, but no one spoke.
...
After a long time, an extremely suppressed hoarse voice came from the other side, “I will miss you.”
Dolores leant on the car window and bit her lips. Reluctance and sadness filled her brow. Her eyes
were blurred and she felt sad. Her tears came out immediately and flowed into her mouth. It was salty.
She closed her mouth lightly and could not control herself anymore. She let the tears continue coming
out and she cried in pain.
