Matthew didn’t answer immediately, but closed the door and stepped in.
Dolores was more and more nervous and even her hands trembled unconsciously.
The more he didn’t talk, the worse the test result was.
“What you are worried about?” Matthew shook her hand. “I’m hungry, let’s eat something together.”
She didn’t move but looked at him.
Matthew sighed. He knew that she wouldn’t feel relieved without an answer.
He took Dolores’ hand and sat on the sofa. According to Dolores’ test result, an early delivery must be
necessary, because her uterus was thinner than an average person. It was too dangerous to wait until
the day of delivery because if the uterus ruptured, it could threaten her life.
The doctor’s advice was similar to the domestic plan. If she couldn’t deliver within seven and a half
months, then she must rest in bed and the delivery would be extended to eight months at the latest.
“The doctor said our baby is in good health and there is no danger even if the baby is born early…”
“So we still need an early delivery?” Dolores interrupted him.
Matthew squeezed her hand, “Don’t worry, okay?”
“I’m not worried,” Dolores said, pulling back her emotions.
She stood up from the sofa, took his hand and said coyly, “Weren’t you hungry? I eat something with
you.”
She kept her worries to herself and tried to look relaxed in front of Matthew.
Actually, Matthew knew she was pretending, but he didn’t expose it.
He was worried just like her. After all, it was his child and his wife, but he also couldn’t show his worry
in front of her.
His negative mood would only make Dolores feel more nervous.
“I know a good restaurant, let’s eat there.” Matthew put his arm around her waist. “We don’t go out
often, is there somewhere you’d like to go? I can take you and relax.”
Dolores deliberately said, “I want to go to a nightclub.”
Matthew glanced at her belly. “You can’t neither drink nor smell the smoke of the cigarette. What will
you do there?”
“I want to look at some handsome boys,” Dolores said.
Matthew laughed, opened the car door for her and asked, “Am I not handsome?”
“Not as the boys who are there,” Dolores said, sitting inside and looking up at him.
Matthew stood in front of the car door, on elbow on the car door, and looked at her slightly, “Even if they
are handsome, you can’t look at them. You are only allowed to give me a child obediently.”
“You can only look at me.”
Dolores laughed, “What if I get tired of it?”
Matthew, “…”
“I’m so handsome,” he said stiffly. “You won’t get tired of it. You’ll just like me more and more.”
Dolores laughed out and found that he was very narcissistic.
Matthew relaxed a little when he saw her laughing.
When they came there, everything was arranged by the people in charge of the branch company. The
people in charge of the branch company knew that Matthew was coming over, so they prepared the car
for him.
Soon the car stopped at a luxurious restaurant. Matthew parked the car, pushed the car door to get off
and opened the car door for Dolores. “Here you can eat things that could not be found anywhere in our
country.”
Dolores bent down.
Matthew handed the keys to the restaurant staff, who parked the car in the parking lot.
The restaurant was very spacious and decorated with taste and personality. It was different from many
other restaurants, which had many seats. It only had a total of seven or eight tables separated from
each other, as if each of them was an independent party.
The light was soft and made people feel quiet and comfortable.
The waiters there were wearing a black vest, white shirt and a tie at the neck of the dress. They were
polite but also gentlemanlike.
They sat down at a random table and the waiter, with one hand behind their back, bent slightly to hand
over the menu.
Matthew took it and handed it to Dolores, “Look what you want to eat.”
Actually, Dolores’ appetite was not very good. She was just thinking about the baby in her belly,
moreover, because of her health problems, the baby had to be born ahead of time. The atmosphere
between Matthew and her was a little cautious.
She pretended to be hungry and opened the menu.
The menu was all named in English and each dish had a picture and a description of its ingredients.
From the pictures, the dishes looked very delicious.
Moreover, they all were expensive ingredients.
She ordered two specialities of the restaurant, some light food and finally, she ordered a dessert.
Matthew was socializing outside. He ate a lot of greasy food but at home, he also liked light food.
Dolores also liked light food, so she handed the menu to the waiter after ordering.
“After dinner, we’ll go out for a walk,” Matthew said.
When they came there, they just took a break and went to the hospital. They had no time to take a
walk.
“Okay,” Dolores said with a smile.
Soon the waiter brought a dish.
When looking at the pictures, Dolores realized that the cuisine there paid particular attention to the
decoration of the dishes, and when she saw the real dish, she found it more refined than the pictures.
Matthew let her taste it.
Dolores picked up the knife and fork and tasted the food.
In the beginning, she just found it refined, but when she ate it, it tasted great.
People there were different from their country. They didn’t have stir-fried food but kept the original taste
of the food.
After adding a special seasoning flavor, they could obtain another taste.
‘When you have something in mind, even the best food loses its flavor.’
Dolores said the food was delicious. She took the fork, picked up a piece of meat from her plate, and
put it on Matthew’s plate, then she said with a smile, “Eat more.”
Matthew laughed, “Shouldn’t you eat more? Why did you give it to me instead? Is it because you care
about me?”
“If you think so, so be it,” Dolores said with a laugh.
After dinner, they left the restaurant and, instead of driving, they strolled hand in hand through the
streets of a foreign country.
That day, Matthew didn’t wear formal clothes and, compared with the formal clothes that made him look
mature, casual clothes made him look cleaner and younger.
Holding hands like that was like a couple in love.
“Since it’s the same situation, it’s better to go back to deliver.” She knew many people in the country
and the children were also there. If she stayed abroad, that meant she wouldn’t see them for a long
time.
They were already in school and they couldn’t just take some days off.
However, she didn’t know that something was happening in her country.
