Matthew stepped on the brake in time and didn’t hit the person who suddenly appeared.
Sampson stood in front of the car. His gaze paused on Dolores for a moment. Sure enough, she and
Matthew were together again.
Even with him concealing the truth that he found out this year, he still failed to prevent her and Matthew
from getting back together.
He looked sad, “I want to talk to you.”
Dolores was not prepared to see him appear so suddenly.
Up till now, Dolores had been deliberately evading thinking or asking about that matter.
His appearance told her that what she was trying to not think about did actually happen and the
brotherly Sampson in her mind had changed.
He had become someone she couldn’t even recognize.
He even scared her.
“Get out of the way.” Matthew’s eyes were gloomy and his tone was cold enough to shatter glass.
Sampson did not back down, but stared at Dolores, “Lola, how many years have we known each
other? I admit it, this time it was my fault. I am really sorry to you, but in all fairness, I did treat you well
before.”
“When I met you, you were a teenage girl. You acted brave and strong for your brother, your mother.
You were so sensible for your age that it made people distressed. Do you remember?”
Dolores clasped her hand tightly and held her breath, no moving in her place. In the past, there were
only injuries and pain. Her brother’s death was a wound that never healed.
“Later you returned here to get married. Do you know why I came back here? Because of you.” He
smiled bitterly, “Later you got divorced and had a car accident. I took you away then. Do you remember
those dark days? When you were trying to keep your children safe, when you were going through all
that pain, who was there beside you all that time? Who helped you take care of your mother and took
care of you?”
He recounted the bits and pieces of the times he had spent with her before, trying to tell her that he
sincerely cared for her and liked her.
He couldn’t make her love him, but ended up making her hate him.
“You really just hate me? Is there no affection for me in your heart?”
“Stop it.” Dolores closed her eyes. She couldn’t deny what he was saying.
He had hurt her but she couldn’t deny the good he had done for her in the past and how nice he had
been to her.
She trembled uncontrollably, “What do you want to say? Just say it.”
Now they had come to where they were today, there was no going back to the past.
What he said was just to reawaken her emotional affection towards him.
He was once kind to her.
Sampson smiled. He knew that as long as Dolores agreed to his request, everything between them
would disappear like smoke.
But there was no way back. None at all.
“Let the Herbert family go.”
Dolores frowned. Where did that come from?
“What do you mean?” Dolores was puzzled.
Sampson looked at Matthew sneered, “You don’t know, but he does.”
Matthew’s thoughts were trapped in Sampson’s words. Thinking about it carefully, even though he was
destined to be with Dolores, he had only heard about her past and never participated in any of it.
He had always avoided knowing about her past, what had she experienced and what kind of men she
met.
At this moment, he had the urge to know.
He leaned back and put his elbow on the car window casually. Sampson’s actions made him feel very
disdainful, “What is this? You dare to do things but don’t dare to take the responsibility? And now you
are using these methods to survive?”
“I am willing to take all the responsibility. Let Maria go and let the Herbert family go. You did that to her;
do you not feel guilty?”
Sampson’s hands hanging besides his body clenched into fists.
In his cognition, Matthew was not a good person, he didn’t show any mercy to the woman who was
once with him.
Dolores was confused. What happened?
Why didn’t she know anything?
Matthew sneered and didn’t respond to Sampson’s words.
His lack of even humane empathy towards her was because she had done things to wipe away his
affection for her again and again.
This time she had really crossed the line.
Maybe some people can tolerate that, but some cannot!
Dolores frowned and couldn’t stop herself from asking, “What the hell is going on?”
Sampson asked her to look at the news headlines.
In order to understand the confusion, Dolores took out her cellphone to browse through the news of the
past two days. It was all about Samuel’s kidnapping.
All the guns pointed at the Herbert family, saying that they were bullies.
Dolores instantly sorted the details of the matter.
That day Samuel said that Matthew had asked him to let themselves be deliberately taken away.
It turned out to be drama.
Now the reputation of the Herbert family was damaged, so Sampson came to ask her to make Matthew
let the Herbert family off the hook.
Seriously, she hadn’t expected Matthew to do this.
She was confused.
“Lola…”
Dolores opened the car door to step out. Matthew grabbed her hand, seemingly not wanting her to get
out. Dolores smiled at him, “I’ll just say a few words to him.”
Matthew stared at her for a couple seconds, and then slowly let go of her hand.
Dolores got off the car and walked up to Sampson. She looked at his face that was suddenly so
strange to her. She had known him for long, but she didn’t know his heart at all.
“Did you change? Or did I never know you?” Unknowingly, her eyes turned red, “You must think that I
am ruthless. You have known me for so long and have taken care of me, but I still don’t want to accept
you… Actually, I have thought about being with you and you don’t know this but your mother came to
find me. She thinks we are not suitable for each other and doesn’t want me to be with you. Your sister
was very hostile to me. So, even if I promised you, we will still be separated by a lot.”
Her misty eyes were disappointing him, “I’m telling you this, not to explain, but so that you don’t think I
am a cruel and unrighteous person. Let’s be strangers when we meet again in the future. I also think,
we should part ways with good impression of each other in our hearts, after all, we did exist in each
other’s world.”
Sampson frowned; his heart was extremely flustered. His mother had looked for her?
“So, you don’t dislike me, it’s just because of my sister and mother…”
“No.” Dolores interrupted him, “I don’t like you. If you didn’t have your mother and sister, I would have
agreed to try to be with you. But it would have been just to repay you for being kind to me. I don’t like
you, let alone love you.”
She didn’t like him and she knew it very well.
The hope was lost and Sampson felt miserable.
“I promise you.” Dolores made the decision.
After speaking, she turned around.
“Wait…” Sampson stopped her, “Do you remember…”
“Stop talking.” Dolores interrupted him because he just wanted to talk about the past again.
She didn’t want to listen to him anymore, everything ended here. There was nothing more to talk about.
Sampson had wanted to tell her the truth impulsively, but he calmed down after being interrupted and
looked at Matthew whose lips were curled up in a mocking and sarcastic smile.
“Matthew, you are no better than me.” To have one’s own blood in front of him but to not know… how
sad was that?
Matthew was too lazy to respond to him and started the car.
When the car drove over, Sampson turned his body sideways and when the car passed him, he said
into the window, “Don’t just keep giving sincerely like a fool and be blind to what is in front of your
eyes.”
Dolores turned to look at him.
What did he mean?
