After seeing Charles White looking at Dolores Flora, Chester Powell who was discussing business with
him lowered his head and asked, “Do you know her?”
Charles shook his head and said, “No.”
It wasn’t like Charles wanted to deny their relationship on purpose, he just didn’t want to let Chester
know about the relationship between him and Dolores. They were discussing business. He didn’t want
to expose his private life to others.
He calmly ordered Tom, “Let’s go.”
Tom had a look at Dolores and lowered his head to look at Charles. He sighed in his heart. He followed
him every day. How could he still not know what Charles was thinking?
The colder his face, the hotter his heart.
Dolores was focused on relieving the awkward atmosphere. She didn’t notice Charles’s appearance.
She put down the cup of juice that she had finished and looked at everyone, “We all come from
different places but now we are meeting at this place. I think it is all about fate. I hope we can get along
with each other.”
“Of course. Just now I was the one who offended you. I asked what I shouldn’t ask.” The woman who
started the question immediately replied.
She was just curious at first and she didn’t want to make enemies with anyone. Dolores was right,
everyone was going to work together. If they really argued badly, they were going to be awkward as
they were going to meet frequently.
“Come, let’s us drink a toast by tea. We are not going to talk about the past. Sometimes, we would
even bite our own tongue. We would definitely have some conflict. However, after drinking this cup of
tea, this matter is over. We are still good colleagues.” Theresa Gordon raised her cup of tea first. She
raised her cup and clinked the cup with the others. Dolores and Theresa had said all these words. No
one would still talk about this matter.
After finish eating, Oscar helped Dolores to say some words to everyone. He wanted to thank everyone
and also hope that everyone could stay unite and get along with each other.
Compared to the other bosses, they were considered very approachable. They only came to work for
only a short period of time but they had a gathering dinner together. Everyone was very satisfied. They
were also willing to work with responsibility. Their salary was not too little and no one wouldn’t dislike
money.
After the gathering dinner was done, everyone was sent back by Oscar. Dolores and Theresa brought
the kids and left through the door at the back.
It seemed like this gathering dinner didn’t take much time. It was completely dark outside. When they
came here, it was still bright. Dolores opened the door of the car that was parked on the roadside to let
the two kids get into the car.
“Can I talk with you?”
At that moment, a sound was heard behind her. It was familiar but she didn’t dare to confirm. Dolores
slowly turned her body and she saw Charles in a wheelchair on the roadside. She was a little stunned.
‘Why was Charles here?’
“Do you have time?” After seeing Dolores not replying, Charles asked again.
Dolores came back to her senses and she nodded to say yes. She looked at Theresa, “You bring the
two kids back first.”
Andrew pulled the corner of her clothes, “Mommy, come back earlier. Sister and I will wait for you.”
It was not like he didn’t like Charles. However, he was afraid that Charles would make a move to steal
his Mommy when his Dad was not around.
If he really had to choose, he would definitely choose his biological father. Furthermore, his Mommy
and Dad didn’t separate because of a bad relationship. Charles had suddenly appeared and he had to
be aware of him.
He had to protect his Mommy for his Dad. He couldn’t let anyone snatch her away.
Dolores didn’t realize that her son had thought so much in his mind. She only thought that he was
concerned about her. She reached out her hand and touched his head. She smiled as she said, “I
know. I will go back soon.”
Theresa had a look on the roadside. She quickly looked away from there and started the car to leave.
After seeing the car move far, Dolores only turned to look at Charles. She asked the doubt in her mind,
“Why are you here?”
“I am here to discuss business. My company has a lot of problems. I have to come out to expand my
business. I couldn’t let the White family’s business bankrupt in my hand. Otherwise, I would let my
foster father down.” He said with a peaceful and calm tone. However, he was really tired and busy
these days. Although his company didn’t bankrupt, it had suffered big losses and it had withdrawn from
the real estate industry.
In the past, Dolores didn’t know all these. However, after she set up an embroidery workshop and a
weaving factory, she knew that it was not easy to manage a business.
Although she didn’t have many people in her factory, she still encountered a lot of matters.
Someone almost argued when they were having the gathering dinner today. It was true that there
would be a fight if there were people.
“Let us have a walk?” Charles suggested.
Dolores said yes. They didn’t specially pick a place to go. They only walked straight along the roadside
without a destination.
“I am afraid that I have to go back on my words. I said I wouldn’t see you again but now I meet you
again.” He lowered his eyes.
He was really determined when he said that he wouldn’t come back to City B again. He had already
used all his courage and persistence to tell himself that it was time to let go.
God let them meet again. What did that mean?
Was it because he wasn’t inferior enough? Or God wanted to make fun of him again? He knew that
they were not going to have a good ending but why was he still daydreaming?
Dolores didn’t say anything. She just took light steps while walking beside him.
“Why are you here?” In fact, he wanted to ask whether if there was a relationship problem between her
and Matthew Nelson. However, he didn’t hastily ask this. It was not some good words.
She didn’t appear here alone. Her two kids were following her. Therefore, he had thought more about
this.
“I had something to do. Therefore, I am here.” Dolores didn’t know how to talk about her matter. She
also thought that her identity was too absurd.
Charles knew that Dolores wasn’t telling the truth after he heard her words. The words were too half-
hearted.
However, he didn’t expose her. He asked implicitly, “Is it related to him?”
They both understood that the word “him” referred to Matthew.
Dolores said calmly, “We are fine. Don’t think too much.”
Charles laughed, “I was really gloating for a little bit just now. I really hoped that you are here because
he loved the other person and you were heartbroken so you came here to heal your relationship’s
wound. Then, God let us meet again to let me take care of you.”
“You could be a screenwriter.”
“I hope I could let go of the mess in my hands to live freely. However, as a human, I couldn’t be
heartless. I couldn’t just walk away.” He felt lost as he looked at the front. Charles who used to cover
his happiness and sadness with a smile couldn’t pretend to smile at this time.
Dolores felt that he had encountered some matters after hearing his words. She asked with concern,
“Is your company having some problems?”
Her concern didn’t infuse any feelings of a person in a relationship. She only wanted to show her
feelings towards the problems he had.
Charles made a soft sound as he agreed.
“Is the competition from the same industry too fierce?” Dolores asked.
“No. Someone should be expressing his personal anger.” Charles clearly knew that this wasn’t only
fierce competition from the same industry. The three major businesses of the White Group were having
problems at the same time. It clearly showed that someone had planned well to deal with him.
Dolores frowned. Doing business was like a war without gunpowder. They could do anything to benefit
themselves.
However, Dolores understood that his words meant the matter was a personal grudge, “How did you
offend someone and let him hate you so much?”
Charles stopped his wheelchair. Dolores also stopped her steps. He raised his head and looked at her.
He didn’t speak. He only quietly stared at her under the faint light.
Dolores reached out her hand and touched her face, “Is there something on my face? Why are you
looking at me like this?”
He shook his head. His eyes flickered something uncertain, “I coveted someone’s wife and he did all
these to me. Am I deserved these?”
