Tom wondered why Charles still wanted to keep a watch on Lacey if it was not her.
“Do as I say,” Charles did not explain. He believed that Lacey did not do so, but he still had someone to
keep a watch on her.
Matthew would not rashly say like this, and he must have found something about it. If the person who
kidnapped Dolores last time was the one who did this, the person would not do such a low-class matter
which inadvertently alerted the enemy and did not get any benefits of it.
Dolores went here not long ago, and she did not offend anyone. However, she had a conflict with
Lacey. Although their problem had settled at that time, Lacey's dress shop had closed.
It made sense that she was resentful about it.

The elevator sounded, and the elevator door slowly opened. A man in a leather jacket, with a cigarette
between his lips, stood in front of the elevator door. He cold hummed when he saw a man in a
wheelchair in the elevator, as if he mumbled a lame man.
Tom immediately got angry, and he wanted to beat the man, but then he was stopped by Charles. It
was not worthy for him to bother himself arguing with the likes of the man. The man was a ruffian
based on his dressing.
It was better to offend the gentlemen, not villains.
Tom glared at the man in the leather jacket, then wheeled Charles out of the housing estate.
“There are all kinds of nuts in this world. The man is such an uneducated person,” Tom spat.
Charles raised his head and looked at Tom, “Is it worth to angry for such a small matter?”
“It doesn't worth it. I don't even know the man,” Tom answered.
“Then what are you angry about?”
“I'm angry at what he said.”
“Don't take his words to heart since he is an irrelevant person. If I have to get angry when I heard such
words every time, I'm afraid that it will be the death of me long ago.”
Charles could not accept it at first. He could only enlighten himself after a long time. He did not take the
words to heart that were not beneficial himself.
Tom knew that he should not continue this topic, and Charles was a little upset. Tom sensibly broke in
with another line, “I'll call someone to keep a watch on Miss Ward.”
Charles knew Tom's little thought, but he did not tear off it since Tom had followed Charles for a long
time.
“I'll take you home and take a rest,” Tom said.
Charles nodded, and he felt tired indeed.
In hotel.
After dining, Matthew asked Boyce and Armand to go out of the dining room. Dolores did not know
what they talked about.
Dolores took the two children downstairs to play. She had a psychological shadow and did not want to
go upstairs.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Theresa sat next to her and said, “It's almost to the end of the year.”
Dolores smiled, “Do you want to go back?”
Theresa interlocked her fingers and shook her head, “No. I feel that time flies. We've been back to
China for six months.”
Dolores had the same feeling as Theresa since many things happened in the six months. She had
seen through many people and things.
“Let's go, Theresa. Let's go to watch a movie,” Armand had the car key and turned it in his hand, and
he walked to Theresa.
Theresa eluded as soon as she saw Armand and whispered to Dolores, “I'll go upstairs first.”
“Hey, where are you going to hide?” Armand chased after her upstairs.
Dolores looked at them, who were clamorous and were like a quarrelsome lover. She shook her head
and helplessly smiled.
“Mommy, what are you smiling at?” Simona threw herself into Dolores's arms and put her arm around
Dolores's neck, and pouted, “I heard just now Armand say that he will go to watch a movie. I want to go
too.”
Dolores pinched Simona's nose, “You've got sharp ears. How come I didn't even hear it?”
The little girl giggled, “My ears are sharp, and my mouth is smooth as well.”
Dolores held Simon in her arms, and she knew that Simona was on a whim. Simona would be anxious
to scream if Simona stayed in the cinema for one hour or two.
Simona could not stay in the cinema quietly. Dolores took her to the cinema once earlier. Simona kept
moved her fingers and ate popcorns when watching the cinema. She asked from time to time, “When
can we go?”
She did not even know the content of the movie.
Dolores would never take her to the cinema again.
“Daddy, daddy," Simona suddenly saw Matthew walked in, then she ran out of Dolores's arms. She ran
while shouted, "Daddy, daddy.”
Matthew bent and caught her to prevent her from banging into him, “Don't run so fast.”
“Daddy, daddy, mommy is petty. I want to go to the movies, but she is not willing to take me,” She
started to complain once she got into Matthew's arms.
Dolores, “...”
Samuel, “...”
“Is that so?" Matthew smiled dotingly and took a glance at Dolores. He leaned close to Simona's ear,
"Then you say how to punish her?”
The little girl winked her eyes and tilted her head to think, “How about a kiss?”
Dolores, “...”
Matthew, “...”
Samuel, “...”
“Matthew!” Dolores took Simona from his arms, “What have you taught her?”
How could Simona say such words?
Matthew stared mutely at the little girl. He also did not expect that Simona would suddenly come up
with such a sentence.
He wanted to growl at Dolores, and he wanted to tell her that it was not him who taught her.
He wanted to tell her to do not to suspect him!
He would not teach Simona all this nonsense!
Matthew's tone was serious, and he stared at Simona, “Simona, tell daddy honestly, why do you think
kissing is a punishment?”
“That's what they put on TV. The woman disobedient, and the man kisses her, then the woman
becomes obedient.”
Dolores, “...”
Matthew smiled and rubbed her hair, “Let's not watch those non-nutritive TV programs anymore in the
future, okay?”
“What's non-nutritive?” Simona winked her eyes.
Matthew, “...”
Samuel could not stand to watch this and cut in, “Come over here. I'll tell you.”
The little girl was pleased and walked to Samuel with a jaunty step. She bent over the desk while
Samuel was playing the Super Brain game. He pressed the pause button and explained to his sister
what was the non-nutritive topic.
“Simona, I tell you what is non-nutritive. The TV programs you watched are non-nutritive. The TV
programs are like plain water without nutrition, and they are not as healthy as you eat eggs and
pudding.”
Simona listened until her head in the clouds.
Samuel did not intend to explain to her, even if he did, she could not understand. He touched Simona's
head, “I don't know what's inside your head.”
Simona patted his hand, “Don't touch my hair.”
“I'll touch it,” Samuel deliberately touched her hair again. The little girl was unhappy and chased after
him to beat him.
Both of them ran in front of the round table, and they chased each other.
Dolores was afraid they would fall and said, “Run slowly.”
“Simona wanna beat me,” Samuel took the time to answer Dolores.
Dolores sighed. The two children were at extremes.
Samuel was too precocious whereas, Simona was too simple.
“Did you suspected me just now?”
Matthew leaned back on the sofa. He elegantly crossed his slender legs and placed his arms behind
Dolores in a stretching position.
Dolores gave a quiet cough. She did think it was Matthew who taught Simona to say so.
“I'm sorry that I've misunderstood you,” Dolores thought that she had to admit it if it was her fault.
Matthew leaned forward Dolores and looked at her eyes, “Is that how you're going to get rid of me?”
Simona had said she was sorry. What else?
“Kiss me, and I'll forgive you,” Matthew leaned his face even closer to Simona. His breath lingered
around the tip of her nose. It was sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and she got goosebumps from
his breath. She could not help but rub her arms, “Can you be decent?”
Matthew, “...”
Was he not decent?"
Was it not decent that he let her kiss him?
“Why did you call Armand and Boyce out of the room just now?” Dolores tried to break in with another
line.
“I've some instructions to them.”
His deep dark eyes filled with a strong halo of light. He recognized Dolores's trick at a glance. Matthew
raised her chin with a deep smile, “Don't digress.”
Dolores, “...”
She thought that she should take the initiative instead of being molested by him. She slightly raised the
corner of her lips, and she smiled with curved eyes.
Her eyes were as bright as a crescent moon. She slightly raised the corner of her lips and revealed her
white teeth. She looked beautiful and cute.
She rarely smiled at him like this, and he was dazzled by her smile for a while.
She took him by surprise to kiss his face. Her action was quick that she left just as Matthew noticed.
Matthew, “...”
Was that kissing him? She did not even have a second to get her lips on his face.
Moreover, he did not want her to kiss his face.
He wanted her to kiss his lips.
