Dolores was too surprised to return to her senses for a while.
Noah introduced the girl to Dolores, “This is my girlfriend.”
Chloe felt a bit embarrassed. After all, they had experienced that embarrassment before. Now they met
again, and she had become Noah’s girlfriend.
“Congratulations on your wedding!” She forced a smile stiffly. She felt quite awkward about the
relationship.
She was quite similar to Noah - when her family declined, she left home and struggle. Without obeying
her father Eddie’s plan, she determinedly joined the military with Noah.
They had grown up together and been quite close to each other. They were too close to think about
falling in love in the past.
After getting along with each other in the military base, they had a crush on each other.
Noah said jokingly, “I made her my girlfriend to avoid her making trouble.”
Chloe poked him with her elbow, complaining that he was exposing her shortage.
Since it was the past, Dolores wasn’t petty. She didn’t want to be angry with the bygones. With a smile,
she said, “I’m so glad you guys came.”
Chloe bit her bottom lip, “Thank you.”
She knew she was wrong in the past, feeling quite sorry for Dolores and Matthew. Dolores accepted
that she became Norah’s girlfriend and didn’t kick her out of her wedding. Chloe could tell that Dolores
was a generous woman.
Thinking of what she had done in the past, Chloe felt quite ashamed.
Jessica stood up and pulled a chair for Dolores, “Dolores, sit down and eat something.”
She knew that Dolores was too busy to grab something to eat today.
As she spoke, she looked over at Matthew, “You, too. Sit down and eat with Lola.”
Matthew wrapped Dolores’s waist and sat down. There were only their family members at this table,
who had already been reconciled and been getting along well. Noah and Chloe sat down next to
Jeffery.
Jeffery wanted to speak to Dolores, but he didn’t know how to start. He tried to start a subject several
times but finally, he stopped. While he was hesitating, Oscar said, “Matthew, let’s have a toast.”
Matthew poured the liquor and they gulped down together. Oscar asked, “Are you drunk yet?”
He had been toasting with different guests on the way to the table. Oscar had seen him keep drinking.
Since he didn’t drink red wine together with the liquor, Matthew could handle it, “Do you want to have
more shots?”
Matthew poured another glass of liquor for him.
Oscar said with a smile, “Of course. This is the wedding toast for Lola and you. How could one-shot be
enough?”
After the second shot, Jeffery finally uttered a word, “Well... Lola.”
He always wanted to find a chance to talk to Dolores. She almost finished eating, so he must start the
subject now. Otherwise, it would be too late.
Dolores didn’t feel anything odd when being with Noah. However, she didn’t know how to get along with
Jeffery. She pressed her lips tightly.
Jeffery knew that she hadn’t been used to him yet, so he didn’t ask her to call him Uncle immediately.
“I have a gift for you.”
He pulled a gift box from Marina’s bag, handing it over to Dolores.
It was wrapped in a gift box, so Dolores didn’t know what was in there. After a hesitation, she took it
over, “Thanks.”
“We’re family, aren’t we? You are welcome.” Jeffery smiled with reddened eyes. The older he got, the
more he longed for family affection. He hoped his family could reunite one day.
Dolores put the box on her lap, wondering what she could talk about with him.
“I’m so happy to witness Matthew and you get married. You two must be happy. Matthew could forgive
me for your sake. I can tell he cares about you a lot. You should treat him well.”
Dolores lowered her head and answered, “Yes, I know.”
She didn’t want to show her reddened eyes to others.
After the banquet was over, Jayden helped them to walk the guests out. Marina took a chance to say to
Dolores, “Come to our house when you are free.”
She knew her husband well. Although Jeffery didn’t ask Dolores to visit him, he yearned for it a lot.
Dolores agreed and said OK.
When she could be calm when facing them, she would.
Jessica was sent back home by one of Boyce’s subordinates. Before leaving, she said to Dolores, “I
can leave the hospital before you give birth. I can take care of you during the confinement.”
Dolores hugged her and asked her to take care of herself.
Jessica nodded.
After seeing off their close friends and family members, Matthew asked Dolores if she was exhausted.
She nodded.
“I’ll take care of Armand’s matter next time then.”
Dolores had forgotten about Armand. In a hurry, she shook her head, “Let’s get it done today.”
She was afraid that Matthew would refuse, she added, “I’m all right. I’m tired because my belly is
getting bigger and bigger. I’ll always worry if Theresa’s matter couldn’t be resolved. I’ve promised her
not to tell Armand about it, but if Armand overheard it by himself, I wouldn’t break the promise.”
She felt sorry for Armand. Besides, she could tell that Theresa still loved Armand although she
behaved cruelly.
Matthew made an excuse to ask Theresa to send Dolores back to the lounge.
According to their plan, after they went to the lounge, Dolores would talk to Theresa. Then, Matthew
would take Armand to the door of the lounge, so that he could overhear the women’s conversation.
