Dolores moaned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Do you plan to keep holding me like this?" Matthew blinked, raised his brow, and looked at her
passionately.
"You don't like me hugging you?" Dolores acted like she didn't know what he meant.
Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist lightly, not daring to use too much force, "Let's do
something else."
"Like what?" Dolores asked.
"Something that a husband and wife do." His hands began rubbing her waist against her clothes.
Dolores looked up, "I like it when you are serious."
Matthew was speechless. 'You are the one that seduces me and now rejects me? She wants to torture
him, also what's the problem of doing things that a husband and wife do?'
Dolores moved aside and sat up, "Go shower and sleep."
Matthew didn't move, lying on the bed, "Didn't you say you don't mind my sweat?"
"If you can fall asleep without a shower, I don't mind either." Dolores pulled the blanket under his body
and was ready to sleep.
Matthew sat up and looked at her, "Shower or not is not the reason I can't fall asleep."
Dolores pretended that she didn't hear him and told him Jayden and Kevin were here.
Matthew nodded and went to shower. a
Dolores remained awake, waiting for him to finish.
Half an hour later, Matthew came out of the shower with bathrobes on while Dolores got downstairs to
get his pyjamas.
"I'm not wearing pyjamas," Matthew said.
Dolores looked at him, "You want to sleep like this?"
Matthew nodded.
"Have you no shame?" She didn't know what to do with such a man.
"I have no shame in front of you," he said as he rubbed her belly, "Otherwise, you won't be pregnant."
Dolores was at loss for words. She threw the pyjamas on the bed, "Up to you."
And she climbed onto the bed, pretending to be angry.
Matthew leaned in and looked at her, "Are you angry?"
Dolores turned her head and remained silent.
“All right, I will put it on.” Matthew took the pyjamas and stood in front of her, “Can you take off the
bathrobe for me?”
“You are such shameless…”
He cut her off using his kiss.
“Are you angry?” Matthew asked as he kissed her.
“Are you going to make it up to me if I’m angry?” Dolores asked.
"Yes." He replied without hesitation as he walked to the cupboard and took out Dolores' pyjamas.
“Why are you holding my pyjamas?” Dolores was confused.
“I’ll put this on.”
Dolores couldn’t imagine him dressing in her pyjamas, but it was funny, she smiled, “Stop the
nonsense, and don’t break my pyjamas.”
“You smile.” Matthew walked over.
Dolores took away the pyjamas in his hand, “I wasn’t upset.”
“You lied to me then?” Matthew teased.
“It wasn’t intentional, you are the one…” Dolores tried explaining while Matthew interrupted. “I don’t
care, you need to be punished.”
He sneaked into the blanket holding her in his arms and removed her pyjamas.
Dolores bit her lower lips while Matthew was on top of her.
He was careful due to her pregnancy, it was a long night.
…
The sun rose earlier during the summer, the morning light shone through the window, shining the room
through the gaps in the curtains.
Matthew couldn’t feel the woman in his embrace and there was no one beside him when he stretched
his arms reaching the empty spot beside him, it was not even warm. He opened his eyes and found
that Dolores was gone.
Dolores woke up early since there were guests, she couldn’t sleep until late as the lady of the house.
Although Matthew mentioned nothing about what happened, she knew he must but exhausted these
days, so she was careful not to wake him when she woke up, she wanted him to rest more.
Since Coral retired from the kitchen, Lucy was the one making breakfast while Coral was in charge of
the household chores.
Dolores was busy helping in the kitchen too as there were guests, they needed to prepare more food, it
would be too burdensome for one person to do it all.
The breakfast was ready at seven in the morning. Everyone woke up one after another. As usual,
Amanda was the last one, she never liked to leave the bed.
Dolores walked out but didn’t see Matthew, ‘Maybe he hasn’t wake up. He was sound asleep last night,
he must be exhausted this few days.’
She went to her daughter, she was lying lazily in bed, with messy hair.
“Wake up for breakfast,” Dolores said as she put the clothes on the bed, “Wake up and let me dress
you.”
“I don’t want to change and I don’t want breakfast.” She then covered herself with the blanket again.
Dolores pulled the blanket but she gripped it tighter.
Andrew stood by the door, “Leave her alone, she will wake up when she’s hungry later.”
Dolores looked to her son, “Have you washed up?”
Andrew nodded.
Dolores was helpless against her daughter, she decided to give up and let her sleep.
She then went into her bedroom and saw the man was still in bed. She didn’t wake him but went into
the washroom and began to pick up his clothes. The suit needed to be sent for dry cleaning while
others can be washed at home.
Matthew was awake on the bed, he indeed had not slept much these few days and last night he slept
well. He thought she would wake him up when she came in, but she didn’t.
He then woke up and walked to the washroom. Seeing her cleaning up the sink, he hugged her from
behind, “Let the maid or Coral do this.”
“We have lots of people at home, they are busy too. The villa is huge and needs to be clean every day
to prevent dust from accumulating. Some rooms need to be cleaned both upstairs and downstairs, and
it’s tiring. I can handle some chores as a form of exercise, it will help with the birth later.”
She turned to him, “Why didn’t you sleep longer? I didn’t wake you seeing that you were sound asleep.”
Matthew rested his chin on her shoulder, “I’ve had enough sleep, should we hire one more maid?”
“No need, will you be going out today?” Dolores asked.
Two maids were enough, too many strangers at home were not comfortable and it was not easy to find
a suitable one.
“Yes, but not so early.” He asked for the cloth from Dolores and offered to wipe the mirror, “Let me wipe
it for you.”
Dolores didn’t give it to him, “I’m done wiping. Wash up and come down for breakfast. Since you are
home, you should go down and greet your father and uncle, don't just stay in the room.”
Matthew kissed her on her cheek and said, “Okay.”
While he was washing up, his mobile on the side table rang. Dolores picked it up and saw that it was
an unknown number. She didn’t answer but handed it over to Matthew who was in the washroom,
“Someone called.”
“Answer for me," Matthew said as washed his face.
Dolores pressed the answer button, “Hello.”
