Matthew was rendered speechless.
Dolores raised her head to look at him as if she was asking him what the hell was going on.
Matthew finally understood why Samuel paused just now.
Samuel was so young, but how could he become so scheming?
“Kid, if you keep acting like this way, you’ll not grow tall."
“I will grow taller than you. You’ll not be able to grow tall." Samuel seemed to be emboldened due to the presence of his mommy.
Was this kid dropping his benefactor as soon as his help was not required?
"What the hell is going on?" Dolores suddenly stood to her feet. Judging from their tones when they were talking, it looked like the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
Didn’t Samuel detest Matthew very much?
How came that he they had contacts with each other?
Had Matthew secretly come into contact with her son without her acknowledgement?
What was his intention?
"Make it clear to me." Dolores pulled a long face and acted like she would not let go of them easily if they didn’t give her an explanation.
“You, tell me." Dolores pointed at Samuel.
Samuel blinked his eyes and told her the truth, “Mummy, I know that you were bullied by Sampson."
Dolores’ heart missed one beat. How... How did Samuel know about this?
“Samuel."
“He told me about that." Samuel pointed at Matthew and added, “When Sampson went to our home and said that he wanted to take us out to have meal together, I felt that he was bearing some bad intentions. So I call Matthew for help. He asked me whether if I wanted to seek revenge for you. My answer was YES. Then he instructed me to be taken away by Sampson obediently because he would be able to find out the evidences of the crime that Sampson had committed in this way."
Samuel was clear that her mom cared about him a lot. So even if Sampson had bullied her, she would not seek revenge against him at the cost of her son’s safety.
Originally, he intended to tell Matthew about this, but when thinking of that Matthew had dumped her mother before, he dropped the idea. He had expected that Dolores would get mad after learning about this.
“Is that so?" Dolores asked while fixing her eyes on Matthew with a gush of coldness surging from her heart.
Undoubtedly, Matthew had the courage to take the blame for what he had done.
“Yes."
Although Dolores was very angry, she didn’t fly into a temper in front of Samuel; instead, she asked Samuel to have a good rest, “Samuel, sleep for a more while. Mummy will come back home to bring your clothes here."
Samuel obediently nodded his head and pulled the quilt. He stole a glance at Matthew with his lips curling up into a triumphal smile.
‘Mummy is angry now. Will you be able to kiss her in such case?’ Samuel thought to himself.
“Come with me." Dolores left the room after finishing the words.
Matthew threw a glance at Samuel and asked, “Kid, you framed me?"
"I was just telling the truth. How could it be a frame?" Samuel pulled the quilt to cover half of his face and blinked his eyes that were exposed out of the quilt, “It was you who asked me to be caught."
When he was saying the last sentence, his voice fell to a whisper.
It seemed to be inappropriate to do so.
Matthew had helped him to punish a bad guy.
But Matthew actually had done something wrong.
With such thoughts, Samuel felt more sorry to Matthew.
“Well." Matthew curled his lips into a light smile, “I lost. But..."
His smile became brighter as he said meaningfully, “Guess whether I can subside your mom’s anger?"
“Nope." Samuel replied confidently because he knew deep down that Dolores loved him so much.
“My mom gave birth to me and she loves me so much."
Matthew was amused by the logic in his words.
