“What are you doing?”
Theresa was still dressed in her wedding gown. She was exceptionally gorgeous today. Her small and
delicate face wrinkled together at this moment.
Armand told her the truth. She should have seen it anyway, “Lock the door.”
“Why do you want to lock the door?” Theresa’s voice became louder. She approached the door and
wanted to open it. But before she could do so, she was pulled by Armand, “What are you going to do?
Today is our wedding night. Do you want me to spend the night by myself? I tell you, it’s not possible!”
“You… Argh!”
Before Theresa could say anything, she was carried by Armand around her waist. Theresa punched
and kicked him, but Armand was unmoved and threw Theresa onto the big soft bed. He was looking
down from a height. He said as he unbuttoned his shirt, “I can’t let other people see me as a joke. You
can’t go anywhere today.”
Theresa was not a little girl who had never experienced the facts of life. She knew what Armand
wanted to do when she saw Armand’s posture. But just because she was too clear about what Armand
wanted to do, so she was flustered.
She moved her body, “Armand, don’t be impulsive.”
It was not that she was reserved, but she was a little unprepared. After all, both of them were drunk at
that time, so they didn’t feel awkward.
But this time was different. Both of them were clear-headed.
Despite her feelings for him, they had never dated formally.
Armand smiled, “You don’t have to be nervous. I’ll be gentle.”
“Armand, give me a minute to get ready.” Theresa rolled over and wanted to get up. Armand bent
down, grabbed her ankle, and wrapped her leg around his waist. He got down, “We’re already husband
and wife. What do you still want to think about?”
“Ar… Mm Mm…”
Armand’s kiss drowned out Theresa’s words.
Outside the room, Boyce stroked Samuel’s head, “Samuel, you were too kind today. Armand didn’t
suffer. You should make things more difficult for him in order to teach him the value of preciousness.”
Samuel raised his head and looked at Boyce, “Are you jealous?”
Boyce was speechless.
He raised his eyebrows, “Why am I jealous?”
“Because you are the only one who doesn’t have a wife.”
Boyce was speechless.
“You brat, you dare to make fun of me.” Boyce pretended to want to pull Samuel’s ear. Samuel reacted
quickly and dashed away immediately.
Dolores brought her daughter, and when they were ready to go back to their room, Mrs. Leslie had
completed all of the matters downstairs and went upstairs. When she saw Simona, her eyes narrowed,
“This girl is too pretty, like her mother.”
Because she was praised by Mrs. Leslie, Simona greeted Mrs. Leslie with a smile, “Hello, Mrs. Leslie.”
Dolores quickly corrected her daughter. The seniority of the family would be messed up if she called
like this. She squatted down and told her daughter, “I can call her Mrs. Leslie, and you have to call her
Madam Leslie.”
Simona looked half-understood and asked, “I have to call her as Madam Leslie, is it right?”
Dolores nodded, “Yes.”
Simona turned her head and looked at Mrs. Leslie. She spoke so sweet as if she had wiped honey on
her lips, “Hello Madam Leslie.”
“Hello.” Mrs. Leslie’s heart was about to be melted by Simona. She held Simona’s hand, “Simona, can I
invite you to my room?”
Mrs. Leslie was getting on in years. Although she didn’t have to do anything for the wedding, she was
still worried about a lot of things. She had just finished settling the things at the wedding site. She was
exhausted and wanted to rest. But in this place that she was unfamiliar with, she wanted to find
someone to talk to, but everybody seemed to be busy. She saw Simona and thought that Simona was
adorable and wanted to spend some time with her.
The older a person gets, the more afraid he or she is of loneliness.
“Sure,” Simona answered without hesitation. She held Mrs. Leslie to go inside the room. Dolores
followed them as well. They were not sure where Samuel and Boyce were playing right now. To see
Dolores more, Matthew also followed them into the room.
Dolores poured water for Mrs. Leslie, “You must be tired today.”
Mrs. Leslie smiled, Armand could marry successfully, and it was alright to be a little tired. “I’m getting
on with age, and I’m good for nothing already.”
“Your body is still healthy. You’re not old.” Dolores placed the glass in front of Mrs. Leslie.
Mrs. Leslie held Dolores’ hand, “I heard that Theresa is close with you?”
Dolores nodded honestly, “We’ve known each other for a few years already, and we’re like family.”
Mrs. Leslie nodded, “Armand is not a bad kid. He had been hurt by someone, and he was unable to get
over it for quite a long time. There were women by his side at times, but he was never serious about it.
This time, I’m happy that he can get married. I also quite like Theresa. She appears to be a very kind
person. I just hope that Armand will not be befuddled and can live his life with her. I’ll be satisfied if they
can have a child like Simona after a year or so.”
Dolores didn’t realize that there was a hidden meaning behind Mrs. Leslie’s words. She thought she
was just lamenting and comforted her and said, “They’re going to be fine and going to have kids too.
Mrs. Leslie will be very busy at that time.”
Mrs. Leslie smiled, “I hope things will go as you say.”
Matthew sat aside, reading financial news using his phone. He was not interested in this kind of topic.
Mrs. Leslie talked with Simona, “Simona, how old are you?”
“I’m five years old, and I’ll turn six after Chinese New Year,” Simona answered honestly.
Mrs. Leslie smiled, “Time had flown by.”
She hadn’t heard from them before, and she had grown up so much.
Dolores leaned against the sofa to watch and listen to them talking.
Simona was talkative also. She had a lot of weird questions for Mrs. Leslie, such as, “Madam Leslie,
what does it mean to get married?”
Then Mrs. Leslie patiently explained to her, “Getting married is when a man and a woman decide to
build a family together. This is marriage.”
Simona rolled her eyes, “Has Madam Leslie ever married?”
Mrs. Leslie answered with a smile, “Of course, I had gotten married.”
“Then whom did you marry?” Simona asked.
“He is, of course, Armand’s grandfather.”
“Will I be able to marry when I’ve grown up?”
After Simona asked this question, Matthew, who was watching his phone all the time, raised his head.
He looked at his daughter, and his eyes turned gloomy. It was because Simona was still small, and he
never thought his daughter would get married one day.
He thought that no one deserved her. He wanted to always keep her by his side.
Dolores could barely keep her eyes open. Finally, she didn’t know how she had fallen asleep on the
sofa and heard Simona’s voice through the mist of sleep. Their conversation, in short, was full of some
weird questions.
She had no idea how long she had slept, only that when she awoke, Simona and Mrs. Leslie were not
in the room already.
“Wake up already?” Matthew carried a glass of water and walked towards Dolores.
The air conditioner was switched on in the room, and the room was warm. However, the air in the room
was dry, as was her throat. Dolores took over the glass of water and drank some of it. Finally, her throat
became more comfortable, “How long did I sleep?”
Matthew looked down to check the time, “Two hours.”
Dolores put down the glass, rubbed her eyes, and sat up. Then, when she thought about Matthew had
purposely brought her out, she asked, “You brought me out, was it because you wanted Sampson to
show himself? But Sampson is not stupid. He will not show himself easily.”
Matthew sat down on the sofa. He stroked Dolores’ hair, which was tangled when she slept, “Because I
wanted to provoke him.”
It was definitely not an occasional event that Dolores met Sampson in the mall. Only if he always knew
her whereabouts, could he show himself up in time and try to carry her off again when she was alone.
Then, that meant he was keeping a close eye on Dolores.
Sampson intently wanted to carry Dolores off because he admired Dolores.
So, Matthew purposefully let Sampson see that he and Dolores were close to enrage him.
This would encourage Sampson to carry her off again quickly.
Would he show up if Dolores was alone at this time?
