“When will Joshua come back? I must go back tomorrow,” asked Noah.
He came here mainly to see the baby and visit Dolores by the way.
Dolores answered, “He’s been taken out for a while. He should come back soon. It’s so rare for you to
come over. Please stay for lunch.”
“Sure,” Noah agreed happily.
When it was time to prepare lunch, Dolores asked Coral to cook more dishes.
Since Coral was alone, Dolores was worried that she would be too busy. She said, “If you are bored,
Noah, you can go to the study and find some book to read.”
“I’m familiar with your house. I’ll make myself home.” Noah was quite relaxed.
Dolores stood up, “All right. I’m going to prepare lunch.”
“I’ll help you.” Chloe stood up.
Theresa said, “You are pregnant. Just stay here. I’ll help them in the kitchen.”
“It’s still young. I’m fine.” Chloe stood up. Dolores pressed her down, “We have enough helpers. If you
are bored, please watch TV.”
Chloe was a bit embarrassed, “You are all busy, but I’m idle. I felt not so appropriate.”
Dolores smiled and said, “We’re family.” After that, she walked out of the living room. Theresa followed
her. She pulled Theresa’s hand and asked, “Are you all right?”
Theresa shook her head, “I’m OK.”
Dolores heaved a sigh. She was worried about Theresa the most.
Although Theresa had hidden her depressed look very well, Dolores still noticed it.
Seeing that they come into the kitchen, Coral said, “I can handle it all by myself.”
“It’ll take you a long time to finish them all. Let us help you make it faster,” said Theresa. She poked
Dolores and asked, “Did you do it on purpose?”
After all, in the past, Chloe coveted Dolores’s husband. Now, they became relatives. Things were so
unpredictable.
Dolores glanced at her, “Are you mocking me?”
“I’m a joke myself. Who would I mock?” Theresa walked to Coral, “I’ll cut the vegetables for you.”
Coral answered, “Okay. I’ll wash them.”
Dolores said, “I’ll cook them.”
They worked together and worked fast. Soon, the lunch was ready. Jessica and Kevin brought the baby
home. Noah took Joshua from Kevin’s arms. He noticed that the baby looked like Dolores a lot.
“Have a rest, Jessica. I’ll get you a glass of water,” said Kevin.
Jessica walked over, “I can do it myself. Thank you, though. You should be quite tired as you’ve been
holding the baby all the time.”
Jessica poured a glass of water to him.
Kevin smiled.
Coral walked out of the kitchen and said, “Guys, wash your hands. Time for lunch.”
They sat at the dining table. Dishes were served.
Jessica asked if Jayden was home.
Jayden was always out recently. He said he was going out to meet his friends.
Talking about him, Dolores couldn’t keep her smile. However, since she was with the guests, she
forced a smile.
“It’s good to meet friends for an old man. His grandchildren are going to school. If he stays home all the
time, he’ll feel bored,” said Chloe.
Dolores had also thought in the same way. Victoria had passed away, so Jayden must be quite lonely.
She believed that it was good for him to meet his friends. As the junior in the family, she could only take
care of him, but only his other half could provide him with the accompany mentally.
However, when Dolores thought about it now, she felt how careless she was. Jayden had been sick,
but neither Matthew nor she knew about it.
She felt quite guilty as she didn’t care about the elder enough.
She filled Kevin’s bowl with soup, “How are you doing, Kevin?”
After knowing Jayden might be sick, she extremely cared about people around her, afraid that they
might be sick as well. Kevin was also getting old. He was managing a factor in City C.
“I’m pretty well. I’m in good health. Now I have something to do, so I feel as if I’ve got younger. Only if
you can come to City C with us. Then I can see the baby more often.”
After speaking, Kevin found that he had made a mistake, “Matthew wouldn’t let you go there, I’m sure,”
he added.
In the past, Dolores also had such an idea. Now, she didn’t want to. Matthew was too busy. Dolores
wanted to take good care of their family.
After lunch, Noah held the baby for a while. He couldn’t stay long as he needed to go back to the
military base. Before leaving, he said, “Dolores, we’ll come to see you when we’re free.”
Dolores said, “Okay.”
Theresa had been staying in the villa quite often, so she was like in her own house. After lunch, she
helped Coral do the dishes. Dolores went to take care of the baby.
After things were cleaned up, Theresa still hadn’t received any message from Armand. She started to
be worried.
She took an initiative to send him a message.
He didn’t reply to her.
She wondered if Elizabeth was injured seriously.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Armand reply to her?
Theresa felt uneasier and uneasier. Dolores held the baby. Seeing Theresa was in a daze while
standing in front of the window, she walked over, “Theresa, what are you thinking?”
“What?”
Theresa looked back and answered, “Nothing.”
Then she added, “Mrs. Bernie fell. I wonder how she’s doing now.”
She didn’t want to hide anything from Dolores.
“When did it happen?” asked Dolores.
“This morning,” Theresa answered.
Dolores pulled out her cell phone, “I’ll call Armand and ask him.”
Theresa looked at her and hummed to answer. She wanted to know how Elizabeth was doing. Armand
didn’t contact her, which made her quite uneasy.
