Dolores nodded.
A deep frown creased Matthew’s forehead and he asked, “Why she is here?”
“She found out that Armand wasn’t here and seemed to sound me out, saying that she was worried about Boyce, but I don’t think it’s simply because of him,” She said despondently.
In her mind, she was worried that Boyce would have conflicts with her in the future.
Matthew said, “Don’t worry about it.”
During the previous days when Boyce was unaccounted for, they hadn’t had much rest; moreover she had pined away a lot as Amanda suffered from irritability. He didn’t want her to worry about other people’s emotional stuff.
“Boyce is an adult, he can handle it himself, there is no need for us to get involved,” Matthew said indifferently. In fact, he had secretly investigated her.
“By the way, why didn’t Armand let Boyce come back? What did he want to do? And where is Boyce now? Is he injured?” Thinking of Armand who deliberately asked them to conceal the Miller family and didn’t tell the reason back then, they were curious as what he had up his sleeve.
At that time, Matthew had no idea either, but he had received a message from Armand today and knew the current situation of Boyce and his relationship with Jasmine Burke. Armand had told him everything, asked him not to tell Wendy Miller that Boyce was fine and stated that Boyce also knew about this matter.
“I’ll tell you later at night.”
Now was really not the right time to discuss this topic, after all Wendy was downstairs.
Dolores nodded and didn’t pursue the matter. When they walked downstairs, Wendy was already sitting at the dining table. She stood up when she saw them coming down and said, “I’m sorry to bother you today.”
Dolores smiled and said, “It’s okay, have a seat.”
Matthew hugged his daughter and sat down at the main seat while Dolores took a seat next to him.
She smiled and said to Wendy, “Make yourself at home.”
Wendy smiled and said, “Yes.” Then she sat down again and looked at Matthew, “Does Amanda need to see a psychiatrist?”
He didn’t response.
Dolores immediately smoothed things over, “She has seen the doctor. She is in shock, it’ll take some time to recover. Would you like to drink red wine since you like it?”
She smiled and said, “No.”
“Well, it’s my fault too. Now Boyce are unaccounted for, how can we eat and even have a drink at ease.”
Dolores asked Coral, “Is the spirit-quieting decoction that I asked you to cook ready yet?”
Coral said, “It’ll be ready soon.”
She nodded, “Serve Miss. Miller a bowl later, she must not have rested well these few days.”
Coral glanced at Wendy and felt that she didn’t look like she hadn’t rested well either. She felt uncomfortable, “Um.” Then she turned around and went into the kitchen.
Wendy suddenly realized that she might have shown too much of her enthusiasm and became less concerned about Boyce. Were Dolores’s words just now on purpose?
Soon she tensed up for a moment.
Coral was handy in the kitchen and the dishes she made were flavoursome and attractive.
At this moment, Wendy had lost her appetite.
