Dolores could not help but to be amused by how childish Matthew was behaving.
“I really want you to look at a mirror right now, you should see how mean your face looks.”
Matthew snorted coldly in response as he grabbed a towel to wipe her legs.
She tilted her head and looked at him, “Are you mad?”
Why would he be quiet, then?
All of a sudden, Matthew flung the towel to the side, grabbed her ankles with both his hands and
pressed her against the bed. Dolores struggled, wanting to break free and said in a soft voice, “What
are you doing? The children are still here, you know, you’re gonna wake them up.”
He said in a deep tone as his eyebrows twitched naughtily, “You won’t wake them up if you moan
softly.”
Dolores was rendered speechless by him.
“How can you be more shameless as time goes on?” Dolores started struggling even more, afraid that
he would start to think with his crotch, and do inappropriate things right in front of the kids.
Matthew bent his knees and pressed her leg with his own against the bed, so that she could not move.
He was thinking straight, surprisingly enough, since no matter how little self-control he had before
Dolores, he would still not be impulsive enough to justify doing inappropriate stuff right in front of
children.
He stared daggers into Dolores in silence, she was not particularly old, her long, silky hair also made
her even younger, and her face was as white as porcelain. He stroked her face and said, “Lola, you
must know that I hate his thoughts of you, very, very much.”
He was utterly unable to treat someone who was eyeing his wife with compassion and kindness.
“I’m a normal human, you see. My woman must only belong to me, no one else can even think of
having her.”
Dolores knew that if someone was on Matthew’s mind that much to the point where they were affecting
him mentally, it was only natural if she was also upset at that fact.
“I know, I love you and only you. I’m that way towards him due to my moral obligation.” Dolores
expressed her feelings. Matthew could be very jealous at times, so she felt that she must explain to him
to stop him from over-complicating stuff.
She started laughing out of the blue, “You know, the longer I spend time with you, the more I find out
that you’re vastly different when you’re outside than when you’re at home.”
“Hmm? In which aspects do you see that? Tell me.” Matthew was slightly interested as he lied down
sideways to avoid falling on her stomach.
Dolores replied, “Let go of my legs, then I’ll tell you.”
Matthew refused, “Tell me first.”
She turned her head around and replied, “Did your employees ever see you behaving this stubbornly?”
“My stubborn side is only shown in front of my wife, they are nowhere near qualified enough to see it.”
He said that with a straight face as he did not see any problems in his statement.
Dolores was speechless again.
“Yeah,” she said as she sighed, “You definitely are a normal human.”
Matthew grabbed her hand and said, “Touch and feel it.”
Dolores’ eyes widened, as she stared at him while stuttering, “W-w-what are you doing now?”
“I’m letting you touch my body and feel my body heat and my heart beating. You can tell that it’s not
made of iron nor steel, it is an entity with its own heat and mind. It also can’t escape death, just like
everyone else in the world. So, it is a normal heart, you can’t ask it to behave like a divine god with no
lusts nor desires.” Saying that, he saw Dolores’ blushing face, chuckled and added, “You must be
thinking about lewd stuff, yes?”
She coughed and said in a stable voice, “No.”
She definitely was not thinking about lewd stuff.
Absolutely not!
Even if she did, she would rather die than admit it.
For her, in front of Matthew, the word “shame” was thrown out of the window long ago.
Dolores was brought completely off topic and on a tangent to outer space.
“What’s that saying again? You tend to follow whatever good or bad things that are done by people
close to you.”
“Are you talking about me?” Matthew said as his brows lifted slightly.
“What are you talking about?” Amanda said while rubbing her eyes as she was not used to the lights in
the house right after waking up.
“Nothing much, go back to sleep.” Dolores hugged and patted her on the back.
“Mummy, you promised to bring me to the pet shop tomorrow, remember?” Going to the pet shop was
basically Amanda’s top priority.
She was only half awake but she still did not forget to remind Dolores.
Dolores assured her, “Yes I do, I’ll bring you there tomorrow, but you’ll have to sleep first.”
“I miss you hugging me, mummy, I miss the warm feeling from your hug.” Amanda snuggled up in
Dolores’ embrace and said in a stuffy tone.
Dolores could not help but feel guilty. After they brought their kids to City C, they sent both of them to
preschool classes. While she was busy rebuilding Cloud and bringing Gambiered Canton Gauze back
into public view, she definitely did not pay much attention to her kids.
During that period, the kids had grown up and learned a lot. They could sleep by themselves, dress
themselves, and wash themselves without supervision. They were able to take care of themselves for
everyday tasks.
“Mummy will spend more time with you two, don’t worry.” Dolores said, then she kissed Amanda’s
forehead.
Matthew switched off the lights, lied down next to Dolores and hugged her from behind, “I’ll go with you
tomorrow.”
Dolores gave him a ‘hmm’. She did not consider any issues with timing and schedules as she did not
want to let her kids down.
The following day, Dolores woke up early in the morning, as there were guests in her home and she did
not want to appear to be inconsiderate for oversleeping.
Tiana was also up early. When Dolores went downstairs and saw her coming out of Theresa’s room,
she was confused and asked, “Didn’t you sleep in that room?”
She said as she pointed at the children’s room.
“I slept in that room, yes.” Tiana replied, “I heard her calling for Alisa, but she was busy preparing
breakfast, so I went into her room. She can’t move properly, so I helped her to get to the toilet.”
Dolores understood the situation as she walked down the stairs and asked with a smile, “Did you sleep
well last night?”
Tiana replied, “I did sleep in during the night. I woke up around 5 o’clock but I couldn’t sleep anymore.”
Dolores knew that something was still on her mind that caused her to be insomniac, so she patted her
on the shoulder to comfort her.
“How did she hurt her leg?” Tiana asked Dolores about Theresa.
Dolores pursed her lips. She felt that she should not tell Tiana about these kind of things, as she was
still very naive and did not know about how horrible humans could be at times.
However, the Meyer family was related to the Bailey family. While she was unclear what kind of
relationships that the two families had, she felt that she could inform Mrs. Meyer through Tiana that
Declan was someone with zero moral values, and that she should stay as far away from him as
possible.
“Do you still remember the person that Charles asked you to deliver to us?”
Tiana nodded in honesty, “Yes.”
“We need to catch him because he has done a lot of bad stuff.” Dolores spared her the details to make
sure that Tiana could understand her.
Tiana understood her. The lady that was injured was hurt by the man that she delivered, so Dolores
must catch that man.
“I wanted to wait for Charles to return. We still can catch that bad guy, but no matter how much I hate
that bad guy, I must also care for Charles’ safety, I’m sorry, Dolores.”
“You silly girl, you have nothing to do with this, okay? It’s not your fault either. Just like you said, we can
still catch him. No crimes go unpunished, it’s just that it’s not time for us to catch him yet.”
Mrs. Meyer came very early to pick up her daughter, much earlier than Dolores had expected. Dolores
wanted to have her driver fetch Tiana back after breakfast.
“We would like to go to the detention centre earlier.” Mrs. Meyer also did not sleep well as she was
worried about Charles as well.
“Bye, Dolores.” Tiana said while waving goodbye to Dolores.
Dolores waved back to her.
As Tiana got into the car, Mrs. Meyer thanked Dolores, “Thank you for looking after my daughter.”
“She’s a good girl, I didn’t look after her that much, either,” Dolores replied.
“Others think that she’s not smart…So she doesn’t have many friends, and not many people like to
spend time with her. You and Charles are the only ones that don’t reject her.” Mrs. Meyer thanked her
sincerely for not looking down at Tiana.
She felt disheartened when she saw other people discriminating against her daughter.
“We’ll be taking our leave now. Please, feel free to visit us if you so choose.” Mrs. Meyer invited
Dolores sincerely.
She replied with a smile, “Will do.”
Mrs. Meyer got into the car, waved at Dolores, and then told the driver to start driving.
There was not much traffic during this time of the day, so the car was cruising along smoothly and
reached the detention centre quickly.
Boyce handed John over to Mrs. Meyer as promised.
John’s body had blood all over it, so much so that no one could tell where his wounds were located. As
soon as he saw someone, he lurched forward and tugged at Mrs. Meyer as he pleaded, “Please, help
me.”
Tiana grabbed John and pulled him away, then she instructed the driver to throw him into the car.
Mrs. Meyer looked at her in shock, as she usually behaved very gently, but today she acted as if she
had missiles for breakfast.
“Tiana, you…”
“Mom, do you know what kind of person this man is?”
