Matthew was quite sensitive. Even Dolores tiptoed, he still found her approach. He said, “Go on searching.”
Then he hung up the phone.
He put away the phone and turned to look at Dolores with a normal look, walking to her. “Let’s go back.”
Dolores looked up at him and asked, “Who were you talking with on the phone just now?”
“A friend who couldn’t attend Joshua’s wedding,” said Matthew calmly.
Dolores couldn’t tell if he was lying or not.
However, she was confused, as she just heard Andrew’s name. She wondered if she had misheard.
However, she didn’t think so.
“Which friend?” she asked.
Over the years, she had got to know almost all Matthew’s friends.
Matthew looked down at her, raising his eyebrows slightly. “Ehn? Don’t you believe me?”
Dolores pressed her lips and said directly, “I just heard Andrew’s name. Does it have anything to do with Andrew?”
They’ve married for so many years, so she didn’t beat around the bush but asked him directly.
“You’ve misheard.” Matthew put his arm on her shoulder. “You are the mother-in-law-to-be today. Later you’ll go on the stage. Be happy.”
“Did I truly mishear?” Dolores still didn’t believe him.
Matthew looked straight. “Have I ever lied to you?”
Dolores was speechless.
The wedding was going on...
The couple was making a vow on the stage.
