The car was parked at the villa. As the place was more crowded, it was more difficult to implement
security control. Abbott chose the location to be Matthew’s single villa, mainly where they stayed before
as the surrounding was easier to implement security control. An anti-theft alarm system was installed
ten metres away from the villa. As long as somebody stepped into the monitoring region, it would
release an alarm. The men arranged by Boyce were all strong and well-equipped with martial arts. A
total of eight men was distributed into two shifts a day, guarding outside the villa for twenty-four hours.
“All have been cleaned up,” Abbott said as he saw the car stop and walked over.
Coral got out of the car first and went into the villa to see whether the bed in the bedroom had been
cleaned up. Abbott was well-prepared as he specifically consulted the expert on what kind of
environment would be better for a pregnant woman. According to Dolores’s case, she had to feel
cheerful and also her living environment must be comfortable with good ventilation.
Although Dolores was pregnant, she still stayed upstairs in the master bedroom. She could open the
window to breathe in the fresh air since there was a bamboo forest at the back window. It was indeed
suitable for somebody who stayed inside the home and could not go out.
Coral placed the flowers she had brought back from the hospital on the bed and then went downstairs.
She told Matthew, “Abbott has cleaned up the bedroom tidily.”
Matthew then only carried Dolores out of the car. Even Charles’s appearance and those words had
affected her emotion seriously, but she did not express it too much in front of Matthew.
Everybody was already very busy with her affairs. Her deadly dull look would only worsen the
atmosphere.
She looked at Abbott and Armand, “Thanks for your help today. Stay here for dinner tonight. By the
way, call Boyce to come over too.”
She really wanted to thank these people, but she also had other purposes…
Armand and Abbott did not dare to disturb her as she was pregnant now. They looked at Matthew
hesitantly upon her invitation and seemed to ask Matthew whether they could accept it?
Dolores laughed, “I ask you to have dinner here, why are you looking at him? Can’t I invite you all to
have dinner?”
“No…” Armand was just about to explain as Matthew uttered at this moment, “Listen to her. Abbott, go
find a chef to prepare dinner for us.”
“Alright.” Abbott was excited as Matthew had acknowledged Dolores’s identity as Missus. He was
certainly happy to be invited for dinner.
Even they did not have a wedding, but the fact that Matthew had been with a woman was spread. But
except for these people around Matthew in the company, nobody dared to call her Missus. After all,
they did not have a wedding, so people were afraid of calling her wrongly.
Armand put the things in the room and said, “I will go downstairs to call Boyce to come over.”
He could not help out upstairs. He had to rely on Coral to clean up those things.
Matthew agreed and Coral lifted the blanket while he laid her down on the bed. The blanket and
mattress were all new and washed cleanly. They were made of soft and comfortable silk-like fabric
which was most suitable for such weather.
“It is still comfortable at home,” Dolores said emotionally. After all, the hospital was relatively full of
people as compared to the cosy home.
Matthew padded two pillows at her back so that she would feel more comfortable.
Coral arranged the clothes from her suitcase and went downstairs with the suitcase, “I will go
downstairs later to prepare dinner with the chef.”
Matthew said, “Pour a cup of warm water up here.”
Coral knew it and then went downstairs with the suitcase.
There was a gentle breeze coming in from the open window.
Dolores closed her eyes drowsily. She was not actually sleepy but she just did not want to look at
Matthew. She was afraid that he might suspect her of having an ulterior motive.
“Sleepy.” He sat down by the bed and looked at his woman who had narrowed her eyes.
Dolores replied, “A bit tired.”
“Wait for Coral to pour a cup of water and drink some before you go to sleep,” Matthew said.
When Dolores suddenly invited them to stay for dinner at the beginning, Matthew only thought she was
really doing it as a token of appreciation and he did not think much about it.
But now, he was slightly suspicious as she was hiding from him deliberately.
She was so bewildered after hearing Charles’s words. Also, she was so excited and was unable to hide
her worry and fear while facing him.
What was her purpose in inviting them for dinner?
He did not express the doubts in his mind.
At this moment, Coral brought a cup of water and Matthew handed it over to Dolores.
She looked at him blankly, “Aren’t you the one drinking?”
“I will drink when you’re done,” he said gently.
“How do you know I’m thirsty?” She thought that he was the one who was thirsty since he had told
Coral to pour a cup of water upstairs.
Matthew pinned her messy hair behind her ear and said gently, “Your lips are too dry and you have just
cried in the car, your mouth will be dry. Even if you’re not thirsty, you should drink some water to
moisten your throat so that you won’t be uncomfortable while sleeping.”
Dolores took the opportunity to drink water and smiled gently, “Is there a joke in your mind about me?”
Matthew pursed his lips without saying anything.
“I know that I’m really embarrassed today. A pregnant woman is indeed silly.” At that moment, she had
not controlled her emotion and was so excited. She wondered if he would suspect anything.
“According to the book, it said that a woman will be silly for three years once she is pregnant.” Matthew
took the cup of water she handed over. He did not drink it or put it down. However, he held the cup
tightly and said in a deep voice, “Aren’t you curious about which book I read that from?”
Dolores was speechless.
“I’m sleepy.” Dolores took off a pillow and rolled over with her back to him. She was not going to ask
him.
Matthew sat by the bed without moving. He lowered his head and looked at the cup of water in his
hand. Then, he brought it to his lips and drank up the water inside. After some time, he noticed that
Dolores’s breathing had become slow and even. There was no response as he softly called her.
She probably had fallen asleep. He stood up from the bed and did not go out. Dolores was just
pretending as she was not asleep. At the moment Matthew left the bed, she opened her eyes.
He turned his head around after a while. He was standing in front of the window but could not see her
expression and guess her emotion.
However, Matthew could always guess something based on his intelligence.
He must be suspicious by now, right?
She put her hand over her stomach as she reinforced her intention of hiding the truth. She took out her
phone and sent a message to Boyce, “Get me a wheelchair and put it in your car. Don’t tell anybody
and don’t need to reply to my message. I will tell you the reason later.”
She chose Boyce as he was the steadiest among the people around Matthew.
She put down her phone and closed her eyes once the message was delivered. She was unaware that
her every action was witnessed by Matthew through the glass window.
He turned his head around and stepped over to the bed when Dolores closed her
eyes…
