Last time that Cafe was just around the neighborhood where Dolores lived, he drove there and realized
that there were restaurant all around that place, he turned his head and looked at Amanda as he
asked, “Where?”
Amanda leaned on the window as she looked around.
At that time, Matthew saw the restaurant named Hairy Crab Pot, but he found that the car parked in
front of the restaurant was the car that Theresa drove out of the hospital, Dolores and Theresa were
probably in that restaurant.
When Matthew was thinking of how to get Amanda to change the restaurant, but he saw Dolores and
Theresa was walking out instead.
They came early, they already finished their meal when it's noon and crowded, that was the time when
people start coming.
Amanda shouted when she saw Dolores, ‘Mommy!’, the car window was not opened and good car had
good soundproofing, Dolores didn't hear anyone calling her
Andrew pulled Amanda , “Did you forget what dad said? We're coming in secret and we can't let
Mommy know.”
Amanda suddenly realized it, she turned her head and looked at Andrew, “I forgot.”
Andrew seemed like he was already used to Amanda's ‘out of mind’ personality so he didn't say
anything.
Dolores opened the car door and hopped in, her car quickly drove out of the parking spot.
Amanda leaned on the car window and watched Dolores’ car driving away, she then pouted and said
dejectedly, “How great will it be if Mommy knows, that way we all can eat here as a family.”
Andrew became more and more like big brother with each time, he stretched his arm and hugged
Amanda... He thought at heart that they would all definitely live together as a family.
That was a really bad topic, Matthew didn't want to discuss that when he was getting in touch with the
children, he felt so sad at heart.
He parked the car in front of the restaurant, went down and opened the car's back door, and carried her
daughter out of the car... Amanda was heavy, she had grown taller and heavier.
Andrew didn't need other people to take care of him, he went off the car by himself... Actually, Amanda
didn't need others to take care of her as well, she could take care of herself, but she was used to acting
coquettishly in front of Matthew, and liked to stick to him, liked him carrying her... Even if she was
already grown up, but she still liked getting carried by dad.
The restaurant was not that big, the environment was good too, but it was quite crowded at that time so
they were in short of seats... Luckily, there were empty seat in the corner, they sat there, Amanda
ordered a dish, of course she came here to eat the signature dish Hairy Crab Pot, she also ordered
porridge and told Matthew, “Mommy likes this.”
Dolores’ light flavor preference was pretty much like Matthew's, they both preferred foods that had light
flavors, the two children were actually following her taste as well, but then after she was brought out by
Theresa for several times and tried strong flavored foods, she started liking those too.
The first time Amanda ate it, she almost cried because it was too spicy for her.
That was not extremely spicy, but she felt that it was spicy because she had yet to eat spicy foods, she
would feel that it was not very spicy when she became used to it.
Matthew stretched his hand out and rubbed Amanda's head, “Order more of what you want to eat.”
She smiled, looking like she was fawning on him, “After the meal, can I have an ice cream?”
Dolores usually wouldn't allow her to eat too much, saying that it was too cold and not good for her
stomach, eating too much of it would make her easily get diarrhea, but summer was indeed the time to
eat ice creams.
Otherwise, what would be the joy of summer?
Matthew pinched Amanda's chin, her face grew more and more similar to Dolores, so lively, she looked
like the crescent moon when smiling but her cheeks nose and mouth looked extremely similar to him.
He tried to be logical with Amanda, “Your Mommy doesn't let you eat it for your health, you must be
obedient, we won't eat it for the sake of health.”
Amanda's expression broke down, the edge of her lips were also down, she then poured and said, “I
don't want to eat much either, Mommy is already so strict on me, does dad want to snatch my little
happiness too?”
Matthew frowned, “You're happy just because you eat ice cream?”
“Yeah, eating something that I like makes me happy.” Amanda went off the chair and leaned on his leg,
resting her face on his thigh, and hugged his waist... Matthew had no flabs on his waist and belly,
Amanda's hand couldn't go around him either, her little hands tugged his shirt, making it crumpled,
“Dad, please allow me to... I'll eat less, okay?”
As long as Amanda acted coquettishly to him, he nearly couldn't resist and couldn't say anything to
refuse her because he couldn't bear to see her 'feeling wronged' face... He carried her and made her
sit on his lap, he then spoke in helplessness and pampered her, “There's not other way, but you should
eat less.”
“Okay.” Amanda frankly agreed, she was okay as long as she could eat it, even if she had to eat less.
Later when the dishes were served, those 5-6 were all what Amanda had ordered, the waiter that
served the dishes said, “We provide rice here, call me at any time if you need it.”
“We don't need it.” Amanda waved her hands, she didn't like to eat rice when eating that, but she then
quickly considered her big brother and dad, she looked at them, “Do you guys want?”
Andrew shook his head, he didn't need it, he wasn't even sure whether those dishes would all be
eaten, the Hairy Crab Pot was already in a very huge plate, she ordered the largest portion
The Hairy Crab Pot in this place had 3 portions, large, medium and small, people could choose
according to the number of people, they consisted of one adult and two children, the small portion was
enough but she just had to order the largest one.
Matthew didn't need to eat rice either, he wanted to try the porridge that Dolores liked, furthermore
there were so many dishes, he probably couldn't eat it all anyway.
When eating, Matthew scooped a bowl of porridge, it immediately melted in his mouth, the millet inside
was very well stewed and the shrimp was fresh, but it wasn't greasy and delicious.
After he ate a bowl of porridge, he saw Amanda's face full of oil because of her bites, he slightly
frowned, took a tissue, and wiped her face, “I'll peel it off for you.”
Andrew didn't raise his head, his mouth was full of food, “We should bite this on our own, only then it'll
taste good.”
The crab had shells, else than the crab roes, the legs were full of meat.
“I don't want to, I want dad to peel it for me.” in front of Matthew, she was just a ‘little baby' that needed
his care.
Andrew looked at Amanda and pouted, he remembered that Amanda was the one who said "We
should bite this on our own, only then it'll taste good.", she had changed her mind again, he silently
thought at heart, hoping that the one in Dolores' belly would be a little sister, otherwise, Amanda
wouldn't grow up forever because they kept pampering her.
If Dolores had another daughter, then she could get some parts of Matthew's pampering.
Only then, Amanda wouldn't be spoilt.
Andrew prayed at heart, hoping that Dolores was pregnant with a little sister, only that way Amanda
would have a chance to grow up... Otherwise, later in front of Matthew, she would forever be a little kid.
After the meal, he bought them ice cream, there was not much time to eat ice cream either, Matthew
sent them back to school, he asked Amanda when they arrived at the school gate, “Will you come
again tomorrow?”
Matthew said that he was going to stay there for several days.
Amanda was very happy, she grabbed his face and kissed him before entering the school with Andrew,
because she had a meal with dad and even ate ice cream, she was in a good mood that she walked
with a bounce.
Matthew stood by the door as he saw the teacher bringing them into the classroom, only then he could
turn around and get into the car, feeling at ease... When he started the car engine, his cellphone in the
pocket rang, that was a call from Armand, his phone was turned off before, he turned it off because he
was in the plane.
After coming to City C, his cellphone was on, Abbott wanted to report things about work to him, he
couldn't let people unable to contact him.
That day Armand and Boyce stayed for half a day in the company, saw Abbott at night, only then they
knew he ran away again and was no longer at City B.
Matthew didn't immediately hide it, that day when he accepted the call in country Y, both Boyce and
Armand heard 'City C', Abbott also knew, because he was the one who bought the plane ticket.
“Where are you?” Armand just asked.
Boyce was busy with work, with the addition of this matter, he must perform well and had no time to go
out, he was bored by himself so he wanted to find Matthew.
After all, he basically didn't need to take control of office, he had time... He wanted to come and seek
the truth, whether Matthew had really found Dolores or not.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to ask Dolores about Theresa, so he also came to City C.
