Dolores wasn’t in the mood to talk to her. “Now everything is clear. Can I go now?”
Mrs. Meyer hurriedly waved her hand. “My bad. Yes, please.”
Dolores looked up at Matthew. She was quite tired, whispering, “Let’s go.”
Matthew looked down at her, only to see the tiredness was overwritten on her face. She also looked
spiritless. He guessed that she must be bothered by the matter that happened.
Grabbing Dolores’s hand that was taking his arm, he squinted and gazed at Charles coldly. He warned
Charles, “Leave my wife alone in the future. This is the last time. Next time I wouldn’t let it go so easily.”
Then he cast a cold glance at Tiana and Mrs. Meyer, leaving with Dolores.
Out of the lingerie store, Matthew asked, “Why did you come out alone?”
Dolores heaved a sigh. She said jokingly, “Or what? Should I ask you to come shopping with me?”
She didn’t have any friends and Theresa was the only close friend to her, but she was injured and
staying home now. Thinking of Theresa, Dolores felt more depressed.
Matthew turned to look at her. “What do you want to buy? I’ll go with you.”
Dolores didn’t come out shopping for herself. She was just kidding. She knew that he was always busy
and nor could he be like a husband from an ordinary family shopping with her.
She looked up at Matthew with a bright smile and said in a coquettish tone, “Are you shopping with me
for real?”
Matthew lowered his head and kissed her on her lips, chuckling. “Don’t I look serious?”
Charles, out of the lingerie store, witnessed the scene not far from him, kept calm. However, a trace of
different feelings flashed through his eyes. He could tell that Dolores and Matthew loved each other
very much.
Mrs. Meyer didn’t notice Charles’s expression. She was still shocked that Matthew had got married and
his wife was already pregnant. “The public always calls Matthew Nelson a golden bachelor. How come
he’s already married?”
Charles cast her a gland, operating the wheelchair to leave in silence. Tiana hurriedly followed him.
When Mrs. Meyer returned to her senses and saw her daughter’s action, she heaved a sigh.
Her daughter wasn’t only pure-minded but also cared so much about Charles and obeyed him a lot.
One day if Charles dumped her, she wondered what her daughter should do.
It wasn’t that she always had the evil prediction and wished her daughter to lead an unhappy life, but in
her opinion, her daughter was way too naive and didn’t know how bad a man could be. She didn’t think
Tiana knew how to please her husband and gain his heart. If this went on, Mrs. Meyer was afraid.
She reminded her daughter, “Tiana, slow down.”
Then she followed them.
On the way back home, Charles had been quiet all the time as if he was expressing how unhappy he
was in this way.
He could tell that Dolores was quite angry.
She couldn’t be happy since she was slandered as a mistress and watched for fun by so many
onlookers.
He had never expected that Mrs. Meyer could stop Dolores from leaving in public despise her own
identity.
That was too much!
The Meyer’s residence was in a community next to the office building of the City B government. There
was a big park opposite the government office, so the surroundings were pretty nice. The community
was on the right side of the park, covered by the forest in the park. It looked quite low-key, but the
people who stayed in this community were almost the families of the government officers.
The low-key community had extremely good facilities and security.
Soon, the car stopped. With Tom’s assistance, Charles got off of the car. Mrs. Meyer and Tiana also got
off from the backseat.
This was the first time that Charles came to visit his parents-in-law with Tiana after their wedding. He
would also discuss some business with his father-in-law, Alan Meyer.
Alan wasn’t a businessman but a government officer. He had a professional title in the government, so
he had a lot of power.
His wife, Maisy, was the third daughter of the Bailey family, but she didn’t grow up in the family. She
was brought up by her father’s sister. She wasn’t close to her parents. Probably it was because they
hadn’t raised her, so she didn’t love them at all.
After marrying Alan, she was more distanced from the Bailey family. She seldom contacted them.
Her husband disliked the Bailey family at all, especially her youngest brother, Declan, who always did
evil things. Alan was a man with integrity, a completely different person, so they were not close to the
Bailey family at all.
However, Maisy and Alan loved each other a lot. Tiana was their only daughter. Although their daughter
was slow and childish, they never disdained her. They tried their best to protect her and didn’t have a
second child.
When Charles received Tiana’s message, he was talking to Alan. Then he rushed out. Seeing that they
came back together, Alan asked, “Why did Tiana ask you out?”
Charles didn’t answer, still unhappy with Mrs. Meyer. Although he didn’t love Tiana, and he truly wanted
to used the Meyer family’s background, but he had never thought to hurt Tiana. He really wanted to
keep the naive girl by his side and treat her well.
He didn’t like to be suspected and speculated.
Alan could tell that he wasn’t happy at a single glimpse. He turned to his daughter. “Tiana, tell me.”
Tiana told him what had happened in the lingerie store honestly. “I couldn’t convince Mom at all, so I
texted Charles.”
Upon hearing her words, Charles said, “I marry Tiana for her family background, but I truly like her.
She’s not smart, but she’s the purest and kindest girl I’ve seen in my life. I want to spend the rest of my
life with her together, and also, I want to take care of her upon my capabilities.”
He didn’t love Tiana, but he liked her purity.
He didn’t like scheming against each other at all. Since he didn’t have the fate with the woman he had
a crush on, he’d rather spend the rest of his life with someone he liked to get along with.
Charles looked up at Maisy. “What you’ve done today made me think that you don’t trust me at all. I
thought you know me well and trust me so you’ve admitted me to marry Tina. However, it seems now.
I’m quite upset about it.”
Maisy wanted to explain, but she couldn’t find the right word. After all, she did suspect Charles’s
character.
“All right. I’ve been too reckless this time. I won’t do it again next time, OK? You can’t only focus on my
mistake all the time.” Maisy was quite open-minded. Since she had made a mistake, she admitted her
fault although she was an elder. “I’ll go to make an apology to Mrs. Nelson the other day. After all, I’ve
disgraced her in public.”
While she spoke, she added, “Who could know that woman is Matthew Nelson’s wife?”
Charles wasn’t an unreasonable man. He respected the Meyer couple a lot. After thinking for a
moment, he said, “I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to go there in person. You are an elder. I’ll ask
Tiana to go there on your behalf. She’s almost the same age as Mrs... Nelson. It’s good for her to go
there.”
Charles had his own purpose -- he wanted Tiana to become a close friend to Dolores.
He didn’t want to approach Dolores by taking the chance, but he only wanted to see her more
frequently.
Maisy thought his words truly made sense. It was a bit humiliated if she went to apologize as an elder.
Her daughter could go there on her behalf. However, she was worried that Tiana couldn’t do it because
Tiana didn’t know how to socialize.
Charles could tell what was bothering her, so he said, “Mom, no worries. Mrs... Nelson is quite kind.
She won’t make it difficult for Tiana.”
