Matthew Nelson lowered his eyes to looked at the ice cream that was passed to his lips. His lips felt
cold as they touched the ice cream. The coldness dissipated the warmth of his lips. He opened his
mouth to cover the spoon. He ate the ice cream that was passed by his daughter.
Amanda Nelson didn’t mind that the spoon was used by him. She couldn’t wait to scoop the ice cream
and put it into her mouth, “It is so delicious.”
It was sweet and cool and there was a light milk taste. Her eyes looked happy. She felt so much
happiness after only eating a spoon of ice cream.
“Dad, after I finish my ice cream, are you going back with me? We will go back to see Mommy.” After
saying that, she scooped another ice cream and passed it to him.
Matthew again ate the ice cream that was fed by his daughter. He was chewing the sweet taste in his
mouth. Yet, he was bitterly thinking about how to explain to the two kids in his mind.
Andrew Nelson also raised his head to look at him.
He seemed like he was looking forward to his answer.
He looked at his children. His eyes kept blinking and he frowned. His face looked extremely bitter.
Normal people would know he was suffering in his heart after looking at his face.
Andrew slightly sighed. He lowered his head to eat another spoon of ice cream, “I don’t know what you
want. Sometimes you two are fine. Sometimes you two quarrel with each other. Is it fun?”
Didn’t he know that his sister and he were the ones who were suffering?
They had a father but they looked like children without a father. He wanted to let his father change his
mind to have a normal family life. Who knew…
While thinking, Andrew took another deep sigh as he felt helpless.
“And you didn’t think about our feelings. You two are too wilful.”
Matthew’s gaze moved between the two kids’ faces. In the end, he said with a low voice, “Give us
some time.”
“Then do you miss Mommy? Andrew raised his head to look at him. He seemed like he was worried,
“When Mommy is not around you, are you going to find another woman?”
Andrew was worried that he would love another person again. He had abandoned his Mommy once.
“If you make another mistake, we and Mommy really will not forgive you,” Andrew said the words
clearly.
Doing mistake once could be barely accepted. The second time would never be forgiven!
Matthew was speechless.
“I miss your Mommy. When she is not around, I will not find another woman. I only want her in the
future.” Matthew seriously looked at his son, “You have to take care of your sister and Mommy when I
am not around.”
Andrew nodded vigorously, “I will.”
Amanda who finished the ice cream put down the spoon and crawled onto Matthew’s body and hugged
his neck, “Dad, aren’t you going back with us?”
She understood the conversation between her Dad and brother. It seemed like her Dad was not going
to see her Mommy.
She couldn’t understand adults’ matters. She felt like her Dad should go to see Mommy, “The baby in
Mommy’s belly could move now. Don’t you want to see the baby?”
Matthew stared at his daughter's face. However, his heart was in a mess. While he was trying hard to
control the feeling of how much he missed his wife, his rationality also told him that it was not a good
time to meet her before the matter was over. The two forces in his mind were battling. No one could
persuade the other. He felt like he was floating on the dangerous waves as he felt so bad in his heart.
Dolores Flores’s face appeared in his mind. The balance in his mind had obviously tilted. He looked at
his son, “Help Dad to do something.”
“What. You can say.” Andrew was straightforward. However, there was a condition, “You have to
promise me one thing if I help you.”
Matthew helplessly looked at his son. ‘This kid is still young but why does he have so many thoughts?’
“Okay, you say it first.” He couldn’t do anything to his own son. He could only promise him.
“You have to come to see us at least twice a week,” Andrew said. This was his request.
In fact, he still didn’t fully believe in Matthew. He was afraid that Matthew would love another woman
after separating from Dolores for a long time.
Matthew looked at his son silently. He originally wanted to see them frequently. However, after Andrew
said the words, he seemed like a cheater, as if he would not become faithful in love.
He moved closer to his son and stared at him, “Do you not believe me that much?”
“You were not being faithful to Mommy once. Therefore, I have to watch you for Mommy to not let her
be hurt by you again.” Andrew said seriously.
Matthew was speechless.
“Now it is your turn to talk. What do you want me to do for you?”
Matthew pinched the bridge of his nose. He was helpless towards his son. Could it be that his son was
going to remember every mistake he made forever?
“I want to see your Mommy but I cannot let her know.” Matthew put down his hands and looked at his
son.
Andrew also looked at him as if he felt like this request was a little bit big. He blinked his eyes and
asked, “How can I let you see her without her realizing?”
Matthew hooked his forefinger to his son to ask him to move closer to him. He whispered to him, “After
your Mommy falls asleep at night…”
Andrew pursed his lips, ‘Why do they look like thieves if they do this?’
However, it didn’t matter. He still tried hard to see Mommy. This meant he still loved Mommy in his
heart. He was happy to help him.
Amanda was happy after she ate the ice cream that she wanted. She kept sticking with Matthew on
purpose. She couldn’t understand, “Isn’t it good if we stay together?”
She understood what her brother and Dad had said. Her Dad had to sneak around to see her Mommy.
In her mind, wouldn’t it be better if he directly went to see her? He could see her Mommy as she was at
home.
Matthew hugged his daughter and pressed her little face against his chest. His thumb moved up and
down on the back of her ear, “Wait for a while. It will be soon.”
They had to wait until Jeffery’s trial was announced and everything was settled. Obviously, it was not a
good time now.
The little girl couldn’t understand. She only tightly hugged her Dad, “I want to sleep with Dad.”
Matthew lowered his head to kiss his daughter’s hair. He also wanted to do so. His lips moved to her
forehead, “Simona, you have to be obedient. Don’t tell your Mommy that you have met Dad, okay?”
Amanda’s eyes blinked and she said with a sweet tone, “I can promise Dad to not tell Mommy.
However, Dad also has to promise me that you have to come and see us frequently. You have to buy
me ice cream too.”
“Okay,” Matthew answered with a tone as if he was spoiling her.
After about half an hour, Oscar Adams came back. He smiled as he said, “Lola doesn’t allow me to
bring them out for too long. Why don’t you come back with us?”
Before Matthew spoke, Andrew pulled Oscar, “Let’s go. He is not going.”
Oscar was smart and he didn’t ask more. If two of them were doing well, Dolores wouldn’t bring the
kids here. If they were doing well, he wouldn’t only sit on the roadside. He didn’t go into the place even
though he had known where Dolores lived.
He reached out his hand to hold Amanda’s hand, “We have to go now. Later your Mom will be
anxious.”
Amanda pulled Matthew’s collar and she didn’t let it go. She felt wronged, “I don’t want to be separated
from Dad. I want to stay with him for a little longer.”
Matthew touched his daughter's face with his hands, “Be obedient. You go back first. I will come to see
you frequently.”
Although the little girl was reluctant, she still let go of his collar. She suddenly moved towards him and
hugged him to kiss him, “Then, I will wait for you.”
Matthew’s heart almost melted after looking at his daughter.
Oscar held the little girl’s hand. In the end, he greeted Matthew, “Then we are leaving.”
“I hope that you won’t tell Dolores about the matter that we met today.”
Oscar said that he understood, “Don’t worry.”
Oscar didn’t say more words and he also didn’t persuade him. They were all adults. They must have
their difficulties if they did this.
After Oscar left, Matthew didn’t leave. He took a rest here temporarily while waiting for Andrew’s news.
During the period of time, he asked the waiter to refill a glass of water for him. He leaned on the sofa to
rest for the rest of the time.
Although he came here in a hurry and looked a little messy, his untidy look still showed strong
masculinity.
