He smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve no covetousness to you. If you’re really afraid that I’ll bug you again, I’ll go
and you stay here.”
He took off the napkin, put down the knife and fork and stood up, “You sit down and eat. In order to
reassure you and let you eat at ease, I’ll go first.”
After finished saying that, he beckoned Dolores, “I’ll leave first.”
Dolores couldn’t say anything but could only watch.
After he left, she pulled Theresa and told her to sit down.
Even if they had sat down, they couldn’t have their meal too. She handed a tissue paper to her, “Just
cry if you want. Maybe you’ll feel better after that.”
Matthew and Oscar left while Dolores caught a glimpse at them and didn’t ask anything as she thought
they probably felt it was inappropriate to be there.
In fact, apart from this reason, there was also something Matthew wanted to say with Oscar.
Last time Oscar did him a favour, but both of them were busy and had no time to sit down and talk
properly.
After this incident, Matthew knew that Dolores’s father wasn’t simple in the past, otherwise this
relationship wouldn’t exist.
Although he didn’t do anything, the clues he provided were indeed commendable. After all he couldn’t
even look into things in the remote past.
“Did it go well?” he asked.
When he didn’t grin cheekily, he gave other a bluffing impression, which was the kind of person who
would make the children cry when looking at him.
However, he was an approachable person when he grinned and didn’t act seriously.
He was rarely unsmiling as he mostly grinned and laughed.
Matthew said, “The task force has been set up to investigate. The case will certainly be strictly
investigated as it had turned into such a big deal.”
Oscar nodded, “Just tell me if you need help.”
In his opinion, Matthew wasn’t an outsider as Dolores’s husband would be her brother’s son-in-law.
Matthew didn’t want to trouble him much and it was enough for now.
“I’ll take Theresa back first.” Dolores came over. She couldn’t eat anything here and it wasn’t the right
place to sit for a long time. As Theresa didn’t want to return to villa, Dolores took her outside for a walk.
Matthew said, “Let me accompany you.”
He was worried about her and afraid that she would be too tired as she was pregnant and still had to
take care of Theresa.
Right now, Theresa certainly didn’t want too many people around, so she refused, “We’re not going
home now, we might walk around outside. I’ve booked a room for uncle in the Narada Hotel. You fetch
him over to have a rest.”
She initially planned to let him live in the villa, but there was no more room as all the rooms were used
by two maids, Jayden Nelson, Victoria Forbis, Theresa and the children. The rest of the rooms were
the utility room and study room but they couldn’t be cleaned up, so she booked a nice hotel.
Oscar waved his hand, “Tell me the place, I’ll go myself. I’m not young now, there’s no need for you to
fetch me there and treat me like a child.”
She smiled, “Uncle, you didn’t eat well in noon, order something to eat in the hotel if you’re hungry. I’ll
prepare a feast for you tonight.”
“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself, you go and take care of Theresa. You guys just do your own
things. Don’t worry about me.” He seemed to get along all right anywhere, “Just tell me the address of
the villa, I’ll go there by myself at night.”
His character had always been like this. After Dolores told him the address, she left with Theresa.
As for whether Matthew drive Oscar, or he returned to the hotel on his own, she had no idea.
“Let’s watch a movie, okay?” she said.
Theresa didn’t speak.
She sighed, “I’m pregnant now and I can’t have a drink with you. If you’re very upset, I’ll go and talk to
Armand.”
Theresa shook her head, “No, I won’t regret the decision I made, it just hurts somewhat to part with it.”
She sighed, “I can understand your feeling, but I don’t know how to comfort you.”
“Walk with me.” She held her arms.
Dolores nodded. It wasn’t so hot when walking under the leafy phoenix trees even though the weather
was hot at noon.
As she had made the decision, she had enough preparation in her mind and she just need some time
to let go.
She believed that she could endure it since she could persevere through the painful times before, and
now she would be able to do so.
Compared to her pain, Armand wasn’t much better.
After leaving the restaurant, he went to drink alone.
He himself had ordered a few bottles of wine. Since he often came here, the manager was familiar with
him and asked when he see him drinking alone, “I call a woman to accompany you?”
Armand continued to pour wine into the glass, as if he didn’t hear what the manager said.
“It’s so boring to drink alone, I have girls who can drink a lot, it’s better to call one or two of them to
accompany you rather than drinking alone.”
Armand felt him like a fly as he still buzzed in his ears when he was in a bad mood.
“What the fuck! Are you nuts? I come to drink and you ask me to find a girl. I’ve cleanliness, okay?
Fuck you, get as far away as you can from me, don’t bother me here!”
He finally couldn’t hold back and cursed the manager who was babbling.
“I see you drinking alone and looked poor. Why don’t you understand my goodwill? You’re indeed
ungrateful …”
“What the hell are you talking about? Who is a dog?” Armand stared at him and the veins at his
temples bulged, “You’re a dog. Bark for me to hear!”
The manager gave him a frosty look, “You’ve drank too much.”
When he was about to leave after he finished his words, Armand dragged him, “You want to leave after
scolding people? What do you think I’m? A coward?”
The manager looked at his hands that grabbed his clothes and looked back at him, “Don’t make trouble
here, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite.”
“Heh, how are you going to be ungracious to me?” he was just being unforgiving deliberately as he was
in an unpleasant mood and was about to suffocate.
“You want to hit me? Do it if you dare!” Armand grabbed his collar and growled at him.
The smell of alcohol came and the manager frowned, “You better let go of me, I don’t want to hit you.”
“You fucking hit me if you’ve the guts to do so. Are you a wimp? Don’t bark like a dog …”
The manager couldn’t stand it anymore and called someone over, “Take this crazy person away!”
“You’re the one who is crazy!” he was roaring drunk.
The manager looked at him angrily and squinted, “You want to get hit?”
Armand nodded, “Yes, I want.”
At this moment, he really wanted to fight with someone as he felt like he was dying.
The manager felt what he said was provocation, then he squinted and called the two security guards,
“Beat him!”
