“Can I meet Mommy now?” Matthew held Simona in his arms when entering the hotel. She asked the question as she thought they had arrived at the destination and would meet Dolores soon.
Mathew was a bit taken aback. Then he returned to look normal. “She’s playing hide and seek with us. She wants us to look for her. Now, we haven’t found her yet.”
Simona pouted. “I see.”
White City wasn’t a big one. It was originally a county, but it was more like a big family, which belonged to the White Group.
The hotel wasn’t a five-star hotel, but it was nice in terms of the environment, hygiene, and service.
Boyce held Samuel who was still sleeping in his arms, followed by a few men who was holding the suitcases for them.
“This is the best hotel in White City. It’s not a big one. I hope you don’t mind.”
Matthew had never stayed in such a hotel before.
“Isn’t this place good?” Simona blinked. She couldn’t understand why Uncle Boyce had said so.
Matthew pressed her head into his arms tightly so that she wouldn’t overhear their conversation. Simona widened her eyes and stared at Matthew’s face. Her eye corners curled her eyes into the shape of crescents.
“Daddy, you are so handsome.” After finishing her words, she pressed her face in his arms shyly.
Matthew was pleased by his daughter’s words for some reason. Since Dolores was missing, he had never smiled, but right now, he curled up his lips into a smile because of his daughter’s praise.
“Do you like me?”
The little girl answered without any hesitation, “Yes, I do.”
Matthew kissed her hair. She hadn’t washed her hair in the past two days, and the fragrance of the hair shampoo had faded. However, he still felt that his daughter was fragrant.
Walking into the room, Boyce put Samuel on the bed. He checked the environment. Since he knew that Matthew wanted to stay in a quiet place, he had reserved all the rooms on this floor.
Simona hopped up and down in the room. “Daddy, will you bathe me?”
Matthew nodded. “Yep.”
She trotted over and held his long legs. Raising her head, she said, “Daddy, you are like Mommy so much.”
Matthew raised her chin with his fingers. “In what way?”
“Mommy will give me whatever I want.” After answering the question, the little girl hopped up and down, trotting away.
On the other side, Charles got the scald on his back. It was not serious. There were several blisters. The doctor came over and dealt with the scald for him.
Amelia stood at the door like a child who had made a mistake. Her eyes were reddened, seemingly she shed tears.
Dolores was sitting on the chair next to the bed. “Thank you.”
If he didn’t protect her on time, she would be the one who was lying on the bed now.
“Are you truly thankful to me?” Charles lay on his side on the bed.
Since the doctor had just put the medicine on his back, he couldn’t lie down face-up. Otherwise, the wounds caused by the picked-up blistered would be squeezed.
“Of course.” Dolores was afraid that he would raise any unreasonable proposal, so she added, “As long as I can do it.”
Charlie chuckled. “Don’t worry, please. I won’t ask you to marry me in return.”
Dolores’s mouth corners slightly twitched.
He looked at her. “Please get me a glass of water.”
Dolores reached out to get the water bottle on the desk. Amelia, who was standing at the door, rushed over. “Please let me do it.”
She wanted to make amends for her previous faults by serving Young Master well.
Charles looked at her indifferently. “Amelia, why are you still acting so recklessly?”
Amelia was about to explain. He interrupted her and continued, “Go back to your room and lock the door. You are grounded. Without my permission, you can’t show up in my room.”
“But...”
“No objection.” His voice was cold.
“Who will take care of you, then?” Amelia wanted to stay. “Young Master, I was wrong, It’s my fault. Please let me stay and take care of you.”
“Amelia, I can’t get angry after being injured. Do you purposely want to piss me off?” His tone became more serious.
Usually, he was quite gentle. Amelia was afraid to see him so cold and solemn. She didn’t object at all, quitting the room obediently.
