The old guy was acting mysterious, “Once you see the person you will know who that is. Now eat your meal properly.”
“Then when can she come back?” Dolores questioned.
She was slightly emotional, she was also filled with questions, “Do I know this person?”
“I see that you are usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?” The old guy’s tone was serious, “As the saying goes, impatience spoils great plans.”
The old guy stood up, “Eat your meal properly, I’ll head back to the house first.”
Dolores nodded, she had been too anxious. Him telling her all these today, meant that he was willing to tell her everything that she wanted to know.
Now she only had to wait patiently for her sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion that surrounded her would clear up.
Compared to the silence in the back, the front compound was very busy.
Because Dolores wanted to stay back, Charles didn’t leave too. He didn’t bring much people, only his assistant Tom had followed him. Compared to the many people surrounding Matthew, he appeared to be weaker.
The stream was trickling, the surface of the water shimmering, like countless stars falling into the river.
The two kids, Armand and Theresa were playing a game of chess, Matthew stood alone on the bridge and looked towards the back compound.
The farm was different from the city. In the city, lights were everywhere. Here, once night fell, everywhere was pitch dark. It was only under good moonlight that they can see the surroundings.
At this moment, the back compound was pitch black, he couldn’t see anything, what’s more Dolores’ shadow. His put his hands in his pocket, but he didn’t retract his gaze, as if anticipating her appearance.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Nelson and his wife’s relationship to be so good.” Charles rolled his wheelchair over , and stopped by the riverside, and smiled lightly, “A saying goes, a day that goes by without meeting each other feels like three years?”
Matthew’s expression in the shadowy light darkened and lit up. He turned around coldly, and looked down on him, “I think Mr. White should go be the paparazzi, you’re so concerned about others’ private matters. Staying back in White City would be a waste for such a talent.”
Charles expression changed slightly, but in the dark night, no one could tell, “I am instead curious, Mr. Nelson, why did you let the two kids follow the last name of the wife? Unless, when Ms. Flores gave birth to them, Mr. Nelson you had no clue at all?”
These few days, Charles had gotten some information from Samuel, it was that when Dolores gave birth to her children, Matthew and her had been divorced.
Therefore, the two children followed Dolores’ last name.
Charles laughed, “I thought I had no chance, I think now I do?”
Matthew’s gaze flickered to the side and noticed that there was a shadow by the door. It was a small shadow, and when the little person noticed that he looked over, he immediately hid himself. He raised his eyebrows slightly, he could already guess who that was, but he didn’t let out that he had noticed anything.
He raised his eyes, his handsome face carried a tinge of coldness, his expression was dark, “That will depend on whether Mr. White has the capabilities.”
Charles laughed lightly, “Any chance is better than nothing, don’t you think so Mr. Nelson? I still stand a chance, meaning that I have to thank you Mr. Nelson.”
Matthew walked over slowly, every step was firm and steady, when he passed by Charles, his lips raised slightly, “My wife, she doesn’t like cripples, if you want to chase her, stand up first.”
Finishing his words, without a second look, he left.
The smile on Charles face couldn’t continue any longer. Not being able to walk, was the biggest pain in his heart.
His fingers on the handles slowly clenched, the veins in his hands surfaced, he was very angry.
Matthew’s footsteps, slowly stopped, even without looking, he knew that Charles’ face was very terrible, “Mr. White, anger is bad for your health.”
With disdain, he continued walking, just when he stepped into the door, he took a look at the door, on the floor was a small shadow. This height and size definitely belonged to a child.
And there were only two children here, Samuel and Simona.
Simona was an innocent little kid, she definitely wouldn’t think of eavesdropping on him, but the other…
It went without saying, it was definitely Samuel.
He sighed slightly, when would this little kid ever clear up his misunderstandings towards him?
But definitely, he had done wrong.
He had abandoned them first, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he was still at wrong.
It was his negligence that had resulted in what happened.
To sooth his anger and hatred, it would require time.
