Her face turned stern, “We ended. I will still consider others if there’s a suitable person, but not him.”
She sounded stern and the meaning was clear. She would never reconcile with Armand but had not
lost faith in love, she would still consider being in love with the right person, she didn’t give up.
It didn’t seem like she said that impulsively. Dolores didn’t say anything else, relationship was not
something a third party could easily get involved with. She held Theresa’s hand tightly, “I will support
whatever you decide.”
That was the only thing she could do for her.
“I want to go back to city C once I recovered. Although Oscar is currently taking care of the factory, the
shop needs to have its person in charge, or else we will be losing customers.” There was no reason for
her to stay here in B City, but she had work to do in city C.
“I’ll go back with you once you’ve recovered.” Dolores had the same thinking, 'Cloud' was her work, and
she couldn’t leave it aside. Matthew could take care of everything here.
It was a long life, she didn’t want to stay home and do nothing her entire life, that was not the life she
wanted, she was not the kind of woman who gave up on a career for marriage.
Theresa agreed, “Although you are married and having a good life with Mr. Nelson, one shouldn’t
depend on man, one should have own career.”
“We are such a good buddy, we even have the same thinking.” Dolores smiled, “Take a good rest and
dress pretty tonight.”
“Will there be a handsome man?” Theresa joked.
Dolores patted her, “Yes.” Then she stood up, “I’m going to take a nap and then get the dinner ready
when Coral is back.”
Theresa opened her arms wide and said, “I can only help with the eating.”
“Getting well soon is the biggest help you could give me.” Dolores smiled as she left the room. She
dropped by to see her children, there were sunken into the world of chess, not even realizing the door
was opened. She then went upstairs for her nap.
She was sleepy but couldn’t fall asleep. Two hours later, Coral came back with the new maid with
groceries. Dolores went down hearing them.
“What did you buy?” Dolores asked as she approached.
“Didn’t you say we have guests? So I bought a bunch of vegetables, meat, and seafood.”
Coral put everything in the kitchen and took them out, “Oh yes, I bought a salted goose at “Delicacy
Camp.”
She looked up and said, “I heard that this tastes good, but you can’t eat much, you can taste a little,
salty food is not good for a pregnant woman.”
Coral was so considerate.
Dolores nodded and helped with the dinner preparation but was stopped by Coral. “Both of us can
handle everything, go and have a nap.”
“I can’t sleep, let me help.” Dolores looked at everything Coral bought while thinking of dishes she
could make.
So they stayed in the kitchen the entire afternoon, preparing for the dinner feast.
The three men came home at seven o’clock in the evening.
Matthew went upstairs for a change while Boyce and Armand played with the kids in the living room.
Armand asked a few probing questions trying to find out Theresa’s condition here from the kids.
Andrew saw through him instantly and said, “That’s Renee’s room over there,” pointing at her room.
Armand glanced at it and said, “Knowing that she is fine is enough.”
He knew she would feel uncomfortable seeing him, so he didn’t disturb her.
Andrew shook his head as he sighed, “I don’t know what’s going on with you adults.”
“What’s in your brain?” Boyce stroke his head, “You mature way faster than your age.”
Andrew looked up, “Don’t worry about me Boyce, you should concern more about yourself. Armand is
going through a relationship problem, but at least he had a girlfriend, what about you?”
Boyce was speechless.
“Do you think he’s that naive? He already has a girlfriend,” Armand interrupted and knocked Boyce with
his shoulder, “Why didn’t you invite Jasmine over tonight?”
Andrew became excited, “Whoa, Boyce has a girlfriend already?”
The dishes were almost done, Coral was getting the table ready. While Dolores passed by the living
room with alcohol, she overheard her son mentioning someone’s girlfriend, “Who has a girlfriend?” she
asked curiously.
“Boyce, the hero tonight,” Armand said.
Dolores stopped and stared at Boyce, “Is it true that you have a girlfriend?”
Boyce immediately explained, “No, no, he is full of crap…”
“There’s no need to explain,” Armand said, “Who was the one kissing in front of the school…”
Boyce covered his mouth before he could finish his line, and warned beside his ears, “Shut up!”
“What’s the big deal of having a girlfriend, why so secretive?” Dolores smiled.
“No, it’s a misunderstanding, she is a university student, not suitable to be my girlfriend,” Boyce
explained. He genuinely thought Jasmine was too young to be considered as his girlfriend.
He couldn’t accept the age difference between them, furthermore, Jasmine didn’t seem to like him too,
and perhaps he was too old for her.
Boyce didn’t want Armand to spread rumors and troubled Jasmine.
Armand removed his hand and teased, “Stop pretending, young is good, lots of people looking for
young one but failed and you are complaining?”
Boyce wanted so much to tear Armand’s mouth now.
