He said immediately afterwards, “Guess a living thing.”
Amanda was puzzled and thought that it was so difficult.
“Oscar, just come up with something easy that I can guess correctly. I haven’t even guessed it correctly
yet.” She pouted while acting cute.
“This one is very easy.” Oscar caressed her head, “You have to think with your brain.”
“She is a pig and she can’t think. She only knows how to eat.” Andrew provoked her.
Amanda was furious instantly, “You’re the one who is a pig. Your whole family are pigs!”
Andrew was speechless.
The living room was quiet for a while. All of a sudden, Oscar and Kevin burst into laughter.
It was because only both of them were not members of the Nelson family in the entire living room.
Andrew shook his head and sighed as his sister was already incorrigibly stupid.
Amanda was so angry with Andrew that she blurted it out. She regretted it after she finished saying
that. She felt so embarrassed that she hugged Matthew and hid in his arms.
Matthew patted his daughter’s back and comforted her, “It is alright.”
The little girl still buried her face in his hug and did not say anything.
Matthew coaxed her and said, “Let me help you guess the riddle?”
Amanda immediately raised her head and asked, “Really?”
Her attitude changed so quickly without giving him a chance to respond.
He laughed helplessly and said, “Yes.”
“Then tell me what goes on four legs in the morning, on two at noon, and three in the evening?”
Amanda was slightly aggressive as she was eager to make a correct guess.
Matthew analyzed for her and triggered her to think, “When you were a baby…”
“I know what it is.” Andrew had already thought of it as soon as Matthew gave a hint, “People.”
He smiled and explained, “When I was a baby, I crawled on all fours, and now I walk upright, but when
people get old, they will use a walking stick.”
Amanda glared at her brother with her eyes wide, “So annoying!”
He always answered before Amanda.
“Oscar, you come up with another one.” She leaned over Matthew’s shoulder and whispered, “Daddy,
you must help me. I must win my brother once.”
Matthew smiled dotingly and helplessly, what could he do about his daughter’s request?
He could only agree to it.
Oscar understood Amanda’s intention. He thought of another one in order to coax this capricious little
girl, “What will put their heads out when the door is closed?”
“Guess a thing.”
Amanda blinked as she was thinking in her mind that how could something still put their heads out
when the door was closed? Wouldn’t that snap their heads off?
She shivered while thinking. What kind of riddles were these?
It was not easy to guess at all.
“Hey daddy, the buttons on your shirt are hurting me.”
Matthew hugged his daughter tightly. He deliberately let the buttons on his shirt hurt her, but this little
girl was slow-witted.
Andrew blinked while observing Matthew’s expression. He guessed, “Is it a button?”
Soon, he confirmed this answer in his mind, “The answer is a button. Haha, I guess it correctly again.”
Amanda glared at him fiercely, “How can it be a button?”
Oscar discouraged her, “It is a button. When you button up your clothes, don’t the buttons have to be
exposed?”
Once she heard that this was really the answer, Amanda said immediately, “I’m the one who said
buttons first. So, I’m the one who guessed correctly.”
“You didn’t say it was the answer,” Andrew replied.
“I’m the one who guessed correctly as I said it first,” Amanda said loudly as if whoever was louder
made sense.
Kevin said to Oscar who was sitting beside him, “Amanda is indeed naughty.”
Oscar also laughed.
Dolores came out and called them for dinner.
Amanda got down from Matthew’s arms and ran to Dolores. She said aggrievedly, “Mommy, brother is
always bullying me.”
Dolores caressed her head, “How does brother bully you again?”
“Alright, you guessed it correctly. You’re clever, okay? Don’t always complain. You’re going to a primary
school soon and don’t be so childish.” Andrew walked to the dining room and sat down on the last chair
after saying that.
“You’re also a kid. Don’t just talk about your sister.” Dolores glanced at him. He was still young, but he
was acting like an adult every day.
“Hehe.” Amanda was happy when she heard Dolores scolding her brother. She forgot the unpleasant
things just now and was not angry anymore. She walked to the dining room and sat beside her brother.
“Brother, you’re not much older than me. It is just only a few minutes.”
Andrew glanced at his sister, “A few minutes is still older than you. You will have to call me brother for
the rest of your life.”
“I would rather be your sister. You’re my elder brother and you have to be nice to your sister,
understand? Otherwise, it is not right. The elder is supposed to let the young, do you know that?” She
learned this from the preschool in City C.
She used this to argue with Andrew. This little guy was still very smart.
The dinner today was scrumptious. Theresa was also helping in the kitchen. Dolores saw her washing
the dishes and vegetables when she entered the kitchen.
Dolores knew that she was not so happy today. Although she had adjusted her condition, she could not
have returned to the initial state at once.
It was also impossible for her to fully recover just like in the beginning.
A broken item would still have a crack no matter how many times it was repaired.
Dolores told her to rest in her room. However, she said that it was better to do something than staying
alone since one would think too much easily alone.
She was right too. So, Dolores did not ask her to rest and let her help in the kitchen. Everybody could
chat together and forget those unpleasant things.
Dolores went to get some wine when the dishes were served.
It was definitely impossible to do without wine for such an occasion today.
Dolores took a bottle of red wine. Even though alcohol was a necessity, she got red wine instead of
liquor.
The main concern was the atmosphere.
The goblets were cleaned before. She opened the wine and put it on the table.
Jayden spoke suddenly, “Let’s have the wedding at the Century Tower.”
The Century Tower was a landmark in City B with 108 floors and more than five hundred metres. One
could view the entire City B by standing on the one hundred and eighth floor.
There was a seven-star hotel next to it.
There was a total of seven seven-star hotels in the country. They were located in four of the more
prosperous cities.
City B was one of these four prosperous cities and it was superb among them.
“Will this be too ostentatious?” Dolores felt that it would be too extravagant to do so. How much would it
cost?
Those jewels would cost quite a lot.
“How many times do you plan to get married?” Oscar asked.
Dolores answered without hesitation, “Once, of course.”
She had not thought of getting married for the second time.
Matthew looked at her and smiled gently.
He seemed to like her answer.
She belonged to him for the rest of his life.
“Why don’t we make it even grand since it only happens once in a lifetime?” Oscar did not think that
there was anything wrong with that. It was not because they were poor, yet he could pay for it since the
money was left by her father anyway.
He just felt that Dolores was his elder brother’s only child. So, a grand wedding should be held if she
got married.
It was undoubtedly true.
Jayden felt sorry for Victoria. Now, his son was getting married and he did not want his son to have any
regrets. Therefore, he also wanted the wedding to be even grand. He saw his son as his spiritual hope
to realise his dream.
“Just rest assured and take care of your baby, we will settle everything,” Kevin said.
The venue for the wedding was decided by Jayden and him together. He knew Jayden’s intention as
Matthew was his only nephew.
He would also want it to be lively and joyful. Moreover, Matthew himself had said that it should be
grand.
“You don’t have to worry about it. So many elders are planning it for us. You should be happy.” Matthew
held her hand and made her sit down beside him.
Although many of them were absent, it was a blessing to have these elders around.
Dolores looked at him and nodded. She understood his point.
The wedding was just around the corner but the preparations were not completed yet. Oscar had
initially come to attend the wedding, but he ended up dealing with the preparations as well.
Matthew and Dolores did not have to worry about anything. Everything was planned and prepared by
the three elders.
The days seemed to pass slowly, but time was actually ticking.
Soon, it was the wedding day.
