Nestled in Dolores arms, Simona seemed to have heard him in a daze. She said dully, “I do.”
She wanted Daddy.
But she had become really sleepy and didn’t go over to him. Dolores covered her ears to prevent her from listening and patted her back gently to make her sleep.
Simona hummed and groaned, and pressed deeper into Dolores embrace.
Dolores hugged her tightly.
Matthew turned sideways, his gaze resting on Simona’s little soft hand that were touching Dolores chest.
Even though he couldn’t touch it, he could feel what it would be like just by looking. A storm of emotions was raging in his heart.
Perceiving Matthew’s fiery gaze, Dolores pulled the quilt over to cover Simona’s hand and then closed her eyes pretending to sleep
She was not sleepy right now but she didn’t want Matthew to touch her, so she pretended to sleep.
Matthew sighed, silently cursing his bitter life.
Even though they were lawfully married but he still couldn’t touch her.
He turned over to lay on his back and looked up at the light on the ceiling with a deep gaze, unable to hide the throbbing.
Dolores actually fell asleep while pretending to, but Mathew tossed and turned over in the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly he sat up and stared sideways at the mother and daughter.
He said bitterly in his heart, “Are you two here specially to make my life hard? It’s like I killed your family in the last life so you both are here in this life to torture me.”
He was a healthy man and he hadn’t touched a woman in a long time. Of course, his body was going to react when he saw Dolores lying there.
He sighed and got up to take a shower, hoping to dissipate the evil fire in his body.
He didn’t sleep until dawn.
By the time he woke up, Dolores had already gone to the store to make the final arrangements for the opening tomorrow.
Matthew left without eating the breakfast that Coral had prepared.
Coral wanted to take Samuel to the supermarket and asked Jessica if it was alright, “I will keep him safe, and the driver will be with us.”
They all lived together and Jessica couldn’t refuse her, “The injury on his head has still not healed, so come back soon.”
“Okay. Do you need anything? I will buy it.” Coral beamed happily.
“No.” Jessica smiled back.
Samuel was sitting on the sofa looking at Coral. He quivered as his round eyes widened. She knew perfectly well that he was injured but still wanted to take him to the supermarket?
Why did it feel fishy?
Coral had thought about it since last night, that after Dolores and Matthew left for work, she was going to take Samuel to Jaden’s place.
She felt uneasy not knowing whether these children were Matthew’s or not.
This matter was stuck in her mind and she couldn’t sleep or eat well.
“I am ready, let’s go.” Coral smiled, “You still have injury on your head, let me pick you up in my arms.”
“No, I can walk by myself.” Samuel wanted to see what Coral was up to.
He had only lived here for a short time, but he was sure that she was not a bad person and it will not be dangerous.
“Okay.” Coral led him to the hallway to help him change his shoes and then took him out.
The driver asked, “Are you going to the supermarket?”
“No. Go to the mansion.”
The driver looked back at her and then at Samuel, seemingly understanding her intentions. Then he turned his head back and drove quietly.
Samuel asked deliberately, “What is the mansion?”
“It’s your grandpa’s house.” Coral was subconsciously sure that they were Matthew’s children.
She felt that Dolores was not that kind of an easy woman.
Is she had a man, then why would she be together with Matthew?
