Matthew reminded, “Mailbox.”
She slid across the page, found the mailbox, clicked it and asked, “The first one?”
He replied, “Um.”
There was no title. She clicked and browsed through it.
The content showed Wendy had been went to the obstetrics and gynaecology hospital, and it also
indicated the time, place and also the doctor’s identity.
At first she didn’t pay much attention, but then she looked down and saw that it was a copy of the
medical record, which was filed at the hospital for each patient. It showed she had an abortion at that
time.
Dolores frowned, “She and her ex-husband both had children and divorced?”
He told her to continue reading.
She became more apprehensive, ‘Didn’t Boyce say that Wendy and her ex-husband didn’t have any
children and the reason they divorced was because of her husband’s cheating?’
The time of her abortion wasn’t too long ago, it happened about two months ago.
She continued reading and now she couldn’t keep calm anymore.
Her eyes wide opened as there was the evidence of her infidelity below, which showed the records of
her visiting the hotel with her lover. Was she having an affair?
Wasn’t her ex-husband who had cheated on her?
She looked up at Matthew, “Is this true?”
“It’s true, Abbott Baron went to check it out personally. The only thing that’s unclear now is how she got
her husband to take the blame for this and even her parents were kept in dark.”
She was stunned. Even though she didn’t like Wendy much, she didn’t expect that she could deceive
others about this matter.”
Obviously her character was bad.
Wasn’t she lying to Boyce?
Dolores felt that her outlooks had been refreshed.
How could she go so far to deceive her own parents?
At the meantime she felt surprised, she began to worry about Boyce as Wendy was the one whom he
had personally introduced to them and acknowledged as his girlfriend.
How would he react if he found out?
What was he going to do?
Matthew sighed as he knew that she was worrying again. He took his phone over and found the
messages and photo that Armand had sent over. The photo was taken by Armand at the door when
Jasmine Burke was cooking while Boyce was helping her out.
“Take a look.” She took it over without question and saw the picture at first glance.
Who was this girl?
She read the messages Armand had sent and knew that Boyce was now staying with this girl. Her
perception was once again refreshed.
She never expected that Boyce would have an affair. Before the matter with Wendy was resolved, he
had stayed with another girl over there.
After reading all the messages, she roughly knew what was going on, which the girl he liked was the
one who was with him now.
The reason he didn’t come back and deceived Wendy was to make her take the initiative to let go.
She handed the phone to Matthew, “I didn’t expect that Boyce had so many ideas.”
Last time she just heard the name from Armand, but now she was seeing the real person.
“I don’t think it’s right for him to do so. He is wasting her time, he should come back and talk to her
clearly.”
If she didn’t give up two months later, what about Boyce?
How could he explain to her?
After all, he was the one who promised it at the beginning.
“You think he could come up with such an idea? According to his character, he should have come back
long ago to deal with this matter, most probably it was Armand who gave him the idea.” Matthew was
clear about their personalities.
She agreed as it must be Armand’s idea. If it was Boyce, he would have come back immediately to talk
to her since he was straightforward.
“Will you tell him about what you’ve found out?” she asked.
She thought that Boyce should know it as it would be beneficial for him to end his relationship with
Wendy.
He nodded, “I’ll tell him. As for how to deal with it, he would decide it on his own.”
She nodded too as she felt that this was the most appropriate way.
When he finished the bowl of soup, Dolores asked, “Do you want more?”
He shook his head, “That’s enough.”
She thought for a moment and asked, “You like to collect red wine?”
He frowned and thought, ‘What kind of question was that?’
She pursed her lips and showed him the wine cabinet, “There are so many wines here. Are these
special collections?”
“No, lots of wine were given by other people, what’s wrong?” he felt scared because she had never
asked even though those wines had been kept there all the time. What was wrong with her today?
She smiled, “Nothing, I’m just curious suddenly. I’ll go upstairs first.”
She put down the chopsticks and got up.
Now Amanda was sleeping with her, she had to take a shower first, so that she could snuggle up with
her after her daughter was done with her bath later.
After Dolores finished showering, she put on her loose pyjamas, lying on the bed and picking up her
phone. Sometimes she would chat with Theresa Gordon for a while about the affairs of shop.
Now Theresa was running it herself and it was going well. She had recruited a few more designers and
had found a few skilful dressmakers and embroiderers with Oscar Adams’s help.
Those bespoke clothes required a high level of craftsmanship from the dressmakers as the general
tailors were unable to complete some of the special designs.
She sent a message to Theresa, but she didn’t reply.
She thought that Theresa was probably busy at work, so she put her phone down and prepared to lie
down. Then Matthew came in with Amanda in his arms who had already finished her bath and wore a
pink silk nightgown with short sleeves and short pants with lace trim. He put her down on the bed and
she quickly crawled to her arms. He stood beside the bed, looking at Amanda and thinking, ‘When will
you recover?’
She was so clingy that she didn’t give them any time to take a breath.
Dolores gave him a look, “Why are you standing here? Don’t you take a shower?”
He unbuttoned his blouse with one hand and said, “I’ll take her to the office tomorrow.”
In this way, Dolores could have a rest.
She had always carried Amanda herself when he wasn’t at home.
He was worried as Amanda would soon be in first grade, she had grown quite tall and had put on
weight, so it was too tiring to carry her all the time.
Moreover, with her health condition now.
It was better for him to take her to the company.
Dolores was speechless, “Why you want to bring her there?”
He said, “Let her meet more people, it’s good for her recovery.”
Amanda looked at Matthew and blinked her eyes, then turned her head to bury her face in Dolores’s
arms, as if she was rejecting his behaviour in this way.
Matthew pretended not to see it and turned around to go to the bathroom.
Dolores lied down and hugged her, patting her back, “Are you sleepy?”
She shook her head.
Dolores picked up the book on the table ‘Peppa Pig’, “I read you the story.”
Amanda nodded.
Dolores lowered her head and kissed her forehead. She was very worried as Amanda who was so
lively and playful before had turned so quiet.
When Matthew came out of the bathroom, Amanda was still awake, so Dolores moved to make room
for him. He walked over to the bed and sat down, reaching out to take the book from her hands, “I’ll
read to her.”
She felt a bit sleepy, so she nodded. He carried his daughter over, put his arms around her and asked
her deliberately, “Where did your mummy leave off?” In fact, he had heard it.
Amanda pointed to the line that Dolores read just now.
He said gently, “You tell daddy where mummy left off, I want to hear you to talk.”
She burrowed her head into his arms and kept silent.
He stroked her head and continued to read the story to her after he sighed.
By the time she fell asleep by listening to the story, it was already two hours later and Dolores had
already fallen asleep. He put down the book and switched off the bedside lamp.
During the night, he heard Dolores’s voice in a daze.
“Hiss …so painful …”
