Victoria’s name appeared on the phone.
She took a look behind her instinctively and she saw Matthew Nelson carrying Simona Flores and stroking her hair. He didn’t notice what she was doing, so she pulled down the curtain and picked up the phone.
“It’s me.” Victoria said.
Dolores Flores lowered her voice and said “hum” to show she was listening.
Dolores knew Victoria wouldn’t call her unless something happened.
“Jeffery came home today, I didn’t know where he got the news. But he knew Gambiered Canton Gauze appeared in White City so he came by to question me.”
Dolores frowned, why did he get his information?
She clenched her hands. Was the Gambiered Canton Gauze given by Victoria and used for Theresa’s wedding dress found out by him?
“I think Jeffery will investigate into it, so he might find you, I’m worried…”
Victoria didn’t want Dolores to get involved in this.
She only wanted Dolores and Matthew to be safe. As about Gambiered Canton Gauze, although it was the Forbis’ possession, still less important than the happiness of their life.
Dolores took a peak outside seeing Matthew was still carrying Simona and didn’t notice her. She put the curtain down and said, “Don’t worry, it would be alright.”
“You have to be extra careful, now...”
“I’m on something, need to go now.” Dolores knew what Victoria wanted to say, but she won’t change her decision.
After hanging up the phone, she was staring at the phone and rubbing the phone screen with her fingers slightly.
She was thinking what Jeffery would be like?
But from Victoria’s description, she knew he was a tough guy, in addition to his background, hence she had to be careful with him. Otherwise, Victoria might not hide the truth from him that hard.
It was peaceful on the way to City B, and they arrived in City B in the evening.
They arrived in the city center before dinner time and everyone was tired after a long trip. Theresa and Armand took Mrs. Leslie back to their own home. Boyce Shawn had to go back to company to arrange Sampson’s stuff before taking a rest.
Dolores and the Mathew together with the kids went back to the villa directly.
After they got home, Coral and Jessica had already prepared dinner well, they knew that they would come back home today.
When they arrived, the bodyguards and driver helped with luggage. Jessica carried up Samuel when he just came into the room. Jessica checked on him carefully to see if Samuel lost any weight or became higher.
“Where is Simona?” Coral asked Dolores. Matthew was taking Simona back into the house with a gloomy look. He greeted nobody but directly went into the room.
Jessica soon understood he was in a bad mood, so she turned to Dolores and asked, “What’s wrong? He doesn’t look happy.”
Dolores didn’t say anything to avoid Jessica worrying about him, so she told Jessica, “He’s alright, just being tired.”
Jessica didn’t buy it but she knew her daughter wouldn’t want to talk about it more, so she didn’t ask her anymore.
“Come over and have dinner, the dishes are getting cold soon. I will help you with the unpacking.” Coral came over still with apron, and she was smiling all the time after Dolores came back.
“Dropping them here, you are free to leave.” Coral told the bodyguards to drop down all the luggage in the hallway.
The wind was blowing into the house after the door opened for quite a while.Dolores took off Samuel’s coat and asked him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner. Samuel did what his mom told him.
Dolores took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, and went to wash her hands. She got some dishes from the kitchen and put them on the tray. She was about to send some food to the bedroom.
“Dolores.” Jessica was about to ask something.
Dolores looked at her and said, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, you can just go!” Jessica shook her hands and walked to the kitchen to get some soup for Samuel.
Dolores felt that Jessica wanted to talk to her. She thought maybe it was the time to have a conversation with her mom as they had been outside for quite a long time. She had to tell her what was going on recently. So she said to Jessica, “Mom, I will go to your room later, I want to talk to you.”
“Sure. I also want to talk to you something.” Jessica said.
