Matthew ignored his banter and said coldly, "Let's leave right now."
After saying that, he went inside to get his daughter. At that moment, Armand was puzzled. He thought
that they were going to stay for the night and leave tomorrow?
"Now?" Armand thought he heard it wrong.
Matthew turned his head, looked at him, and said in a serious tone, "Yes, now."
Armand seemed to realize that something must have happened. He turned off his phone and stood up,
"I'll go pack up now."
"I want to bring Cotton back." Amanda held the dog's chain in her hand.
Matthew said, "Okay, bring it with you."
Kevin also came forward and asked, "Why are you leaving in a hurry? You can rest for the night and
leave tomorrow morning."
"Something is going on." Matthew briefly explained to him the reason they had to leave right now.
After hearing what Matthew had said, Kevin did not continue asking him to stay and helped them pack
up.
They were supposed to stay overnight. Since that they suddenly wanted to leave, it must be something
urgent.
Matthew carried his daughter and went to find Andrew. Andrew was not in his bedroom, and Matthew
couldn't find him in the other rooms. In the end, he saw Andrew in Jayden's room.
Jayden was telling Andrew something. Matthew did not know what he was saying, but he didn't look as
negative as before.
Matthew went in and told Jayden that they were leaving.
"Are you going back to City B?" Jayden asked.
Matthew replied yes.
Jayden did not urge him to stay. He also did not say much. He had said what he needed to say, and he
believed that both Matthew and Dolores should understand.
Andrew grabbed Jayden's hand and said, "Grandpa, what if I miss you?"
Jayden stroked his grandson's head and smiled, "Grandpa will come and visit you."
"Okay then." Andrew reluctantly let go of Jayden's hand.
Matthew held his son's hand, looked at his father, and said in a low voice, "Take care of yourself. Call
me if you need anything."
Jayden shook his hand and advised him, "Tell Armand to drive slower on the road."
Matthew replied to him with an "um" and brought the two children out. At that time, Armand had already
finished packing up. He put the two children into the car, and Kevin also helped put Cotton into the car.
Luckily for them, the car was spacious enough.
Dolores went to bid farewell to Jayden and told him that she would take good care of Matthew and the
two children, telling him not to be worried.
She knew that Jayden was very relieved, and he told her to be careful on the road.
When Dolores came out, she saw that they had already finished packing up. She greeted Kevin and
told him, "We are leaving now."
Kevin nodded, "Be safe."
"We will. You two take care too." Kevin was not getting any younger. After this incident happened, his
tough body seemed to look less vigorous than before.
Dolores wanted to bring them home after some time so that she can take care of them. In fact, people
would be more prone to thinking a lot if they stayed alone in a quiet place. In addition, they won't feel
so lonely too if they have Andrew and Amanda accompanying them.
Kevin's eyes became turbid. He quickly turned his head, not letting Dolores see his eyes. He turned his
back against her and waved to her, "If you want to leave, leave now. You won't be able to see the road
clearly at night, so leave while it's still daytime."
Matthew opened the car door for Dolores. She glanced at Kevin, then bent down and got into the car.
Hearing the car engine started, Kevin still turned around and looked at them. Even though he was very
reluctant to see them leave.
He knew that it was inevitable.
Dolores rolled down the window. The two children lay on the window and bid farewell to Kevin,
"Goodbye, uncle, we are leaving."
Kevin waved his hand back to them, "If you have time, don't forget to visit me. I'll miss you all."
"We will come and visit you, and we will miss you too." Amanda lay on the window. Even though she
was reluctant to part with her grandfather and uncle, she wanted to be with her parents more.
Kevin laughed, "I'm happy enough just hearing these words. Don't delay anymore, you should leave
now."
After bidding him farewell, Matthew drove the car out.
Armand brought along the snacks that he had bought for the two children. They were bored, so they
ate some of the snacks. Dolores wasn't feeling very well as she was worried about Theresa. Theresa
had already suffered so much the last time. As for this time, Dolores didn't dare to think about it, afraid
that something might happen again...
"Mommy, what are you thinking about?" Andrew could feel Dolores's low spirits, so he asked
concernedly.
Dolores caressed her son's face and forced a smile from her stiff face. She did not want to affect her
two children with her uneasiness. She pulled herself together and said, "I'm thinking, when will the two
of you grow up?"
"We will grow up when you are older," Amanda interjected.
"Then will you dislike mommy when I get older and become uglier?" Dolores asked with a smile.
"I won't." Amanda even threw Cotton away, leaned over, and lay in Dolores's arms. "You are the
prettiest mommy in the world."
Andrew moved aside and gave space to his sister.
Dolores reached out her hand and stroked Cotton, "You want to bring it back?"
Amanda nodded firmly, raised her head, and asked, "Don't you think it's very cute?"
"Yes, it's cute, much cuter than you." She pinched her daughter's face.
"No, I'm the cutest." Amanda touched Dolores's stomach, "When is the baby going to come out? I'm so
looking forward to it."
Dolores stroked her head and told her it will be soon.
The sky was getting darker, and the lights on the passing homes were lit. The two children got tired of
playing. They had also eaten their snacks, did not say that they were hungry and slept straight away.
When the two children had fallen asleep, Armand asked, "What's the matter? Why do we need to go
back in such a hurry?"
Matthew, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked back at Dolores. Dolores also looked towards
him. Even though they didn't say anything, they were able to understand each other thoughts.
"Am I not pity enough?" Armand stared straight ahead.
Even without looking, he knew that the couple was exchanging glances. How could they just show their
love to each other when he's still in the car? Were they intentionally making him feel sad?
"Theresa is not willing to forgive me. And the two of you keep on displaying your affection in front of
me. Are your hearts made of rocks? Don't you think I'm pitiful? Can't you two treat me better?" Armand
let out a series of complaints.
He was heartbroken. Theresa did not want to forgive him, and he did not know what to do in the future.
He let out a sigh, turned the topic back, and asked, "Can you please say something? What's going on
here? Why are we in a hurry? Are we going back to City B or City C?"
