"It was indeed Victoria she took the two children to see, and they seemed to get along very well."
The mansion of the Forbis family was so large that it was easy to spot. And the people Boyce brought over this time were not only good at fighting but also good at probing.
It was easy to find out where Dolores had gone today.
But they hadn't met a few times, so how could they suddenly be so close?
This was something Boyce hadn’t figured out yet.
"I think the master who can make Gambiered Canton Gauze may have a relationship with Victoria. He's the one who acted as a go-between ..."
Matthew shook his head. He didn't think Dolores and Victoria were close because of the master who could make Gambiered Canton Gauze.
"They've been in contact before, and she gave Dolores a jade bracelet that she said belonged to the Nelson family. But I had never heard that the Nelson family had such a thing."
Even if the Nelson family had such a family jade bracelet, shouldn't it have belonged to his mother? How could it be in Victoria's possession?
"Then she's doing it on purpose. She wants to impress Ms. Flores and tries to ease her relationship with you. After all, she didn't have a child herself..." Boyce couldn't think of any other reason. Victoria was a mistress, but she hadn't abused Matthew. At best, she married into the Nelson family at the wrong time.
Matthew didn't think it was as simple as that. Dolores' family was also destroyed by a mistress and her mother was deported. She would never have been so tolerant of a mistress, much less be bribed by just a jade bracelet.
He was more reluctant to believe that Dolores was someone who could be bribed by money.
"You'll pretend you don't know about this." His face was darkened in the bright light.
He would like to see how long Dolores could keep it from him.
If Dolores came clean with him, he wouldn't blame her, let alone be angry with her.
After all, everyone had their own ideas and standpoints.
He never wanted Dolores to take his side.
He was angry that Dolores was hiding him.
In his mind, hiding meant distrust.
Dolores didn't trust him!
She didn't even trust him, so how could she love him?
Boyce responded and didn't dare to say more. It was obvious that Matthew was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to persuade him. He was sure that he must have a scale in his mind to be able to weigh this matter.
Matthew wanted to be alone at this time, but thinking of the two children, he decided to go back first. Boyce went to turn off the car lights.
They went back the way they came.
"I think Ms. Flores may have her reasons for doing this. It's hard for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along. Maybe she's trying to get along with your family."
Boyce still wanted to persuade him.
This might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Dolores might have gotten close to Victoria for him.
Matthew did not answer. He had his own considerations. From what he knew about Dolores, she was definitely not the type of person who would suck up to others.
"Mr. Nelson, would you like to have a chat with me?" Charles was at the door in his wheelchair and seemed to be waiting for him.
When he saw him and Boyce walking over, he spoke up.
Matthew winked at Boyce and told him to go ahead. He would like to hear what Charles had to say.
Boyce glanced at Charles and stepped into the yard.
Charles turned his wheelchair and walked toward the river. The trickling stream glistened as if stars had fallen and popped up on the river to peer into the world's landscape.
"Mr. White, what do you want to talk to me about?" Matthew stood by the river with his hands in his pockets, and the river reflected his slender body.
Charles looked at the water, while his hands could not help but clench. He was also a tall man, but now he had to live his life in a wheelchair.
It would be a lie to say that he never felt sad.
No one cared that he was a cripple!
"Mr. Nelson, how about I tell you a story?" Charles tilted his head.
