It was so unreal and dreamy. Whether it was real or not wasn’t important anymore. She just followed
her heart as she responded to her entwinement with him. Her soul seemed to be forcefully pulled away,
and only a shell that couldn’t think was left.
The intense passion that was accumulated caused her body to gradually sink into his arms.
When she heard him say, “I miss you so much,” in a daze, her eyes turned red for no reason. As her
consciousness sank, she just felt that there was a huge hand caressing her belly with non-stop kisses.
She just curled up in his arms like this. All her fears could be driven away, and she could fall asleep
peacefully with him by her side.
The next day, when the sun rose up, Dolores rolled over and wanted to hug him. However, her touch
was responded with ice-cold emptiness. There wasn’t anyone lying next to her.
She only slowly opened her eyes after she flickered her eyelashes for multiple times. The other side
was empty. The bed sheet was also neat. It was obvious that there was no one, but last night felt so
real and intense.
She felt that she wasn’t dreaming because the breathing and voice was too familiar. She quickly rose
up and got out of bed. Then she pushed the bathroom door open, but there wasn’t anyone. She
thought that he might not be here, so she quickly walked toward the living room and heard that there
was a sound from the kitchen. A thought came to her mind, was that him?
She pretty much walked over briskly and blurted out with great anticipation, “Matt…”
But before she could say it out loud, she already saw the person inside. It wasn’t whom she expected it
to be. Theresa Gordon was the one inside the kitchen.
Theresa was a bit hungry after she came back early in the morning, so she went to the kitchen to cook
something up to eat. When she saw Dolores still in her pajamas, she asked, “You’re awake already? I
cooked some hot and sour noodles. Do you want to eat some?”
When Dolores returned to her senses, she grabbed her messy hair. Was she having hallucinations?
She turned around to look at her home. There wasn’t any sign that someone came here before at all.
After thinking carefully, how could he possibly show up at midnight?
She pressed her temples. She must have had hallucinations. How could he suddenly show up in her
room?
That didn’t make any sense at all. Even if he could come and find this place, it would be impossible for
him to sneak into her room quietly.
Theresa came out as she carried the hot and sour noodles. The atmosphere was filled with the strong
sour and spicy smell. She frowned as she looked at Theresa, “Are you eating this early in the morning?
Won’t you get an upset stomach?”
Theresa put the hot and sour noodles on the table and sat down as she pulled a chair away, “I just
suddenly wanted to eat this. It should be fine since it’s just one meal.”
Dolores turned around and entered the room, but she seemed to be thinking about something. So she
turned around and looked at her, “Did you meet anyone?”
“No,” Theresa lowered her head. She had already prepared herself, so she was able to answer
Dolores’ questions smoothly. At most, she just didn’t dare look at her eyes.
Because she was guilty.
Dolores didn’t see Matthew in the USB Oscar gave to her either. At that time, the three of them kept a
low-profile. There were a lot of people and they also sat at a corner, so they weren’t captured in it.
Thus, it seemed that Matthew must not know about this, so it was completely impossible for Matthew to
appear.
She lowered her eyes and hid her thoughts.
“Why did you ask that?” Theresa looked at her and asked to test the waters, “Is there someone you
want to meet?”
As she spoke, her gaze fell at her bare feet.
Following her gaze, Dolores lowered her head and just realized that she walked out barefooted. She
even forgot to wear her slippers. She quickly explained, “No, I’m just asking. I came out hurriedly
because I was so thirsty.”
To prove that what she said was true, she walked toward the table and poured a glass of water. Then,
she put the glass down after drinking, “I’ll go back to my room to change my clothes.”
After she spoke, she hurriedly returned to her room. She was deliberately avoiding the topic. Her room
looked the same as last night before she went to sleep. Nothing had been moved, and no traces were
left. She sat at the bed side, wore her slippers, and bitterly laughed. She must be too tired recently to
have this kind of hallucination.
She put her elbows on the table and closed her eyes as she rubbed her brows.
Andrew entered as he pushed the door open and looked around. He was sure that Matthew had
already left when he didn’t see Matthew in the room anymore. He was half-conscious when he felt that
someone went to his room in the morning. But he was too sleepy, so he didn’t open his eyes.
He jumped into Dolores’ arms and asked as he raised his head to test the waters, “Did you sleep well
last night, mommy?”
Dolores opened her eyes to look at her son and stretched her hands to touch his face, “I slept very
well. Did you sleep well?”
During the first half of the night, she was haunted by a nightmare. However, she dreamt of him later on,
so she was able to sleep peacefully.
Although it was a dream, it still felt warm.
Andrew nodded and said he slept well. Then, he carefully looked at her expression. It seemed like she
completely didn’t notice that someone came here before, so he felt relieved. He asked, “Today’s the
weekend already. Do you want to spend a day at home with us?”
“Sure, I won’t go anywhere today. I’ll just stay with the two of you,” Although there were still a lot of
upcoming things, she needed to take a rest. It had been a long time since she spent time with them.
Andrew stretched his arm out to touch her belly and said with a little anticipation, “When will the baby
be born?”
“After five more months,” Dolores subtly said.
Ten months of pregnancy didn’t mean that one had to be pregnant for ten months before the baby
would be born. The ten months were counted from the month of conception to the month of childbirth. It
would be ten months from the two ends. However, it would be nine months if it was counted by whole
months.
“Mommy, bring me and my sister to the cinema to watch a movie today, okay?” Andrew held Dolores’
hand and acted cutely, “Alright, mommy?”
He never acted cute toward Dolores easily, so it was hard for people to reject him whenever he acted
cute.
Dolores dotingly smiled and said, “Okay.”
“I want to buy popcorn and coke…”
Dolores ruthlessly interrupted him, “Go change your clothes first, wash your face, and brush your teeth,
okay? Just think about these after you eat breakfast, alright?”
“Okay,” Andrew pursed his lips as he broke out from her arms and ran back into his room. Dolores also
cleared up her emotions, stood up, and walked toward the cabinet to look for the clothes to wear today.
In City B, Boyce and Armand were stunned by a news after coming back from country Y.
The incident about Boyce and Jasmine Burke kissing at the gate of a university that day was
photographed by a student and posted on the internet.
It immediately caused a stir. That day, Boyce was wearing a uniform, so it was obvious that he was a
public official. It would be fine if he was just an ordinary person, but Boyce was not. After all, public
officials had special identities. Everyone was watching their every move. This kind of incident would
naturally generate public discussion.
People might say that they had an indecent lifestyle.
Armand couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the news. The Boyce he knew was a stupid person.
However, this news changed his view on Boyce.
He smacked his lips, “You are indeed a beast under a human mask. She’s so young. You can do it if
you want to, but do you really have to cause such a stir? Are you showing off how amazing your kissing
skills are in front of so many people?”
Based from the picture, many people were watching from behind.
Moreover, the photo was taken from the side, so both of their faces were exposed. They could clearly
see their looks.
Boyce ignored him. This kind of news really affected him, since both his and Jasmine’s identity were
exposed by people. However, he was a man, so he could withstand it. Worst come to worst, he would
be investigated. But the impact on Jasmine would be massive.
Women were more vulnerable in this kind of matter. Moreover, she was just a freshman in university.
