‘Yes, it has come to this point. It’s obviously irreparable, unless time can be turned back, or a miracle
occurs.’
“What do you think, what shall we do now?” Emma looked towards Athena.
The Bailey family seemed like a large family, but when something happened, only a few people could
lend a helping hand.
The children were not raised together. Their bonds were not strong. The daughters were quite critical of
their parents, so it was normal that they were not united when something happened.
“Maisy...”
“Don’t think about it, didn’t Maisy make it very clear the other day? We have to blame our parents when
they don’t want to help. If our parents gave more care and love to them, they will not be so determined.
In our parents’ minds, the son is the most important. He’s spoiled. He only knows how to get into
trouble.” Emma understood her sisters’ minds, “We have to prepare for the worst. If we can protect
Declan, we shall try our best to protect him.”
Athena thought the same, “Let’s go to see mum and discuss it with her.”
Emma nodded.
At ten o’clock at noon, as Dolores prepared to go out, Theresa asked her, “Are you going to pick up
Uncle?”
Dolores nodded, “He’s just come over, he’s definitely not familiar with the environment here, I’ll go and
pick him up.”
“I’ll go, you just tell me where the location is, when the time comes, we’ll go there straight.”
Dolores looked at her and asked again, “Have you really thought about it?”
Theresa nodded, “Yea.”
Dolores had no choice but to agree with her, “Alright. It’s at YD restaurant which is not far from the
company.”
Theresa smiled at her, “The way you’re frowning is not cute. Don’t frown, I’ve thought about it and will
be responsible for my actions, so don’t worry about me.”
Dolores reached out her hands to hug her, “As long as you feel comfortable.”
‘In fact, she has a point, life doesn’t put pressure on her, if being with her lover makes her feel stressed,
it’s better to be a little more relaxed by being apart.’
After Theresa left, Dolores also left the villa afterwards and went to the company to look for Matthew.
However, Matthew was not in his office. He was in the reception room, talking to someone else.
Although the commotion was big and the head paid a lot of attention to it, he still could not take it
lightly. He had to make observations and keep a close eye on the progress.
Dolores did not ask his secretary to inform him. She waited for him in his office.
When Matthew came back from his discussion, his secretary told him that Dolores had come over. He
quickened his pace and walked into the office. He pushed open the door and saw that Dolores was
sitting in front of his desk, reading the documents on his desk.
In fact, she could not understand a lot of the professional vocabulary. She was just bored.
Hearing the door-opening sound, she looked up and seeing that it was him. She asked, “Are you
done?”
Matthew closed the door and walked in, “Yea. Why didn’t you let the secretary inform me that you are
here?”
“Aren’t you busy?” Dolores tried to stand up, but Matthew held her shoulder to stop her from moving.
Dolores laughed, “You don’t let me get up, do you want me to sit in this seat?”
Matthew leaned against the edge of the desk, bowing his legs, keeping a not too far distance from her,
“It’s yours originally, isn’t it?”
During New Year, Jayden had given all the shares to her two children and asked her to keep them.
Now, she was the largest shareholder.
Dolores reached out her hand and grabbed his tie, pulling him towards her. They looked at each other.
She hooked her lips, smiled and said mischievously, “So, are you working for me now?”
Matthew looked at her slender fingers which were wrapping around his tie, looking helpless as if there
was nothing he could do about her, “I’m all yours, from now on you sit here and I’ll serve you.”
Dolores smiled, but the smile soon subsided. However, she did not let go of him. Matthew was
cooperative and just bent over.
“Was it Armand who pestered you to ask Theresa to come out today?” She asked despondently.
Matthew reached out his hand to touch her face. He used his fingers to smooth her furrowed brow,
“What’s wrong? Theresa doesn’t agree?”
She shook her head, “No. Do you still remember that I once asked you, if I am unable to conceive,
would you still love me?”
Matthew fluttered his eyelashes, everything made sense, he had guessed it when Dolores asked.
“The miscarriage was caused during that explosion. She is unable to conceive now. She wants to draw
a line with Armand. She comes today, probably to make it clear with Armand.”
“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it this way.”
‘When it’s clear, everyone will settle down and go to find the right person.’
‘It can’t be considered a bad choice, after all, it is difficult to restore a broken relationship, even if you
try to fix it again, there will still be scars.’
‘It’s better to let go.’
Dolores tilted her head to look at him, “Shall we talk to Armand, so that he can prepare himself
mentally?”
She was afraid that Armand would be embarrassed by then.
“You shall just leave it alone.” Matthew bent his body even lower and said in a warm voice, “Are you
going to keep tugging at me like this?”
Only then did Dolores realize that she had pulled him all the way and his tie had been pulled outside of
his suit, she let go and helped him to tidy up his tie and collar, “It’s about time, shall we go over there
now?”
“Yeah,” Matthew responded.
He wanted to go over first and buy some food for Dolores. He was afraid that she would lose her
appetite later on.
“Let’s go.” Matthew wrapped his arm around her waist.
