“Are you here for the prenatal examination?” The woman took a glance at Dolores’s belly.
Dolores nodded politely.
“You are so lucky. You had such a grand wedding. I truly envy you,” said Emma with a smile.
Dolores looked at her and asked, “Have we met before?”
“Probably you don’t know me, but I know you,” said Emma, still smiling.
Dolores slightly creased her brows, recalling the woman in her mind, but she was sure that she had
never seen her before.
“How did you get to know me then? May I know who you are?” In face of a stranger, Dolores was quite
alert. She picked up her handbag, pulling out the cell phone.
Once anything happened, she could call for help right away.
Watching her, Emma thought to herself, ‘This woman is quite highly alert.’
“Have you received the wedding gift from me? Did you wear it and show it to your husband?”
Dolores’s expression changed dramatically. It turned out the lingerie was from this woman. She
wondered who this woman was and what she wanted. How could Boyce fail to find anything about her?
“Who the heck are you?” Dolores clenched her fists tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.
Her intuition told her that this woman came to her intentionally and she had an evil purpose.
“You don’t need to know who I am. I’m just an unlucky woman. You came here for the prenatal
examination, but I...”
Emma pointed in the direction where the surgery room was, “I came here for the abortion.”
After that, she stood up, “I meant it. I truly envy you. Your husband loves you and cares about your
children, but I can’t give birth to my baby.”
“What on earth do you want to tell me? Why are you telling me those things?” Dolores asked in a cold
tone.
“I don’t mean anything. I just want to tell someone about my depression. After all, a mistress’s child is
unnecessary to come to this world. Besides, my baby’s father has a wife and children. How could my
baby exist? Probably, that man came to me on his impulse... I believe he still loves his wife. Otherwise,
how could he treat her so well?” she deliberately misled Dolores.
After finishing her words, she turned away.
Dolores frowned more deeply, wondering what the woman meant.
She implied something between her lines.
Dolores pulled out the phone and dialed Boyce’s number.
Right then, Boyce was answering a call. The men he sent to follow Emma had lost the target, so they
were reporting it to Boyce now.
“What happened? How could you lose her?” Boyce snapped.
“She should have seen me. She went to the ladies but didn’t come out for a long time. When I went into
the bathroom to search for her, she’s already gone. I couldn’t follow her all the way into the ladies.
Hence... it’s my fault.”
“I got it. Try to find her and continue following her.” Boyce was worried. Emma obviously had an evil
intention. She purposely sent a gift to Dolores at her wedding and could sensitively find that someone
was following her and get rid of them. Obviously, she was quite scheming.
Right then, Boyce heard an alert tone on his phone, indicating that there was an incoming call. He said,
“Find her as soon as possible.”
After that, he hung up the phone and swiped to answer the incoming call, “Hello?”
“It’s me.” Dolores grabbed her cell phone and looked around in the corridor, “I know who has sent me
the box at the wedding.”
Boyce paused and asked, “How... how did you know it?”
“I’ve met her. It’s a woman. She said a lot of weird words to me. Could you please help me check her
up?”
“I can help you. Please tell me where you’ve met her. Does Matthew know it?” asked Boyce.
Now he could be sure completely that Emma deliberately approached Dolores. She should aim for
doing something evil.
“He doesn’t know it. I haven’t told him yet. Don’t forget to inform me after you got the information.”
Boyce said OK.
Right then, Matthew walked over with the result, “Who are you talking to on the phone?”
Dolores hung it up and said it was Boyce.
“What happened?” Matthew could tell that she looked a bit pale. Reaching out, he helped her stand up.
“I haven’t told you. On the wedding day, I received a gift, but I didn’t know how has sent it to me. I
asked Boyce to help me look into the matter.” She raised her head, “Have you got the result yet?”
Matthew hummed gently. Then they went to the consultation room to show the result to the doctor.
The doctor told them everything was all right after reading through the results. The baby was well
developed. He reminded them to keep Dolores happy and come for examination on time.
Matthew said OK.
Dolores was a bit absent-minded. She couldn’t help wondering what that woman meant.
When she sat in the car, she even forgot to fasten the seat belt. Matthew leaned over and helped her
buckle the belt and asked, “What’s bothering you? You’ve been absent-minded all the time.”
Dolores looked at his face that was so close to her, calling him gently, “Matthew.”
“Yes?” He looked up at her.
“Would you fail to restrain yourself when facing the seduction?” He was in his thirties, which was the
age when men were the most attractive. He was mature, steady, handsome, and rich. A lot of women
would take initiative to seduce him.
Some of them could be outstanding.
She wondered if Matthew would be attracted.
Matthew started the engine. He looked extremely serious without a smile on his face. Obviously, her
question came so sudden. They had got along well all the time, but suddenly she asked such a
question with implications, “Do you not trust me or yourself?” he asked.
Right then, the cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw an unread message from
Boyce. He tabbed it to read: “My men lost Emma Bailey when following her. She went to meet Dolores.
Probably she said something to Dolores, and Dolores called me to investigate on her.”
Matthew quickly entered his question: “What did Emma Bailey say to her?”
Then he pressed the send button.
“I don’t know. Dolores told me she has said some weird words, but she didn’t tell me the details. Last
time she sent Dolores the lingerie. This time, I guess she had spoken something more excessive.
Otherwise, Dolores wouldn’t have called me for the investigation.”
Matthew replied: “I got it.”
He tossed the phone aside, started the engine, and drove.
Dolores looked at him, “Whose message?”
Matthew said, “The phone is over there. Check it up yourself.”
Dolores didn’t pick it up to read. Pressing her lips, she kept silent. Matthew didn’t speak to her either
when driving. Soon the car was parked in the hotel. They got off and went back to the room.
After entering the room, Matthew tossed the car key and his cell phone on the table. Loosening his
collar, he pulled Dolores to sit on the sofa.
“On the wedding day, the woman who has sent you the gift is named Emma Bailey. She’s the sixth
older sister of Declan Bailey. Now, Declan Bailey and Roger Bailey are under investigation, so probably
the Bailey family has known that it was pushed by me. That’s why she wanted to approach you. Her
purpose was obvious. Either she wanted to cast a bone between us or try to set you up. After all, you
are my wife. What has she said to you? Are you suspecting me now?”
Dolores widened her eyes, “Is she from the Bailey family?”
Matthew hummed gently, “Yes. Tell me. What has she said to you?”
Dolores felt quite ashamed for being oversensitive. Lowering her head, she said, “She implied to me
that you might have an affair with her.”
“So you believed her, didn’t you?” Matthew raised his brows.
“Nope.” She looked up, “I didn’t. I was afraid of losing you.”
She took the initiative to hug him, pressing her face on his chest. Her fingers fiddled with the buttons on
his shirt. She said in a grievance, “You are such an outstanding man. There are so many women
outside. I’m a mother of three kids already. I’m afraid that you would dump me one day. My children
would have no father then. How pitiful!”
Matthew burst into laughter in anger. Pinching her chin, he raised her head.
