He could only hide it from Dolores at that moment.
“Notify me anytime when there's a new progress.” Matthew glanced at the time, “I'm leaving first.”
Boyce said yes.
Matthew stopped by the door.
“You're alone, come and eat the new year's eve meal tonight.”
Boyce was not from City B, none of his family was there too, he didn't spend the new year at home for the previous years, the three of them would meet outside, but it was different that year, Armand was married and had his own family, Matthew also had Dolores and the two children, he would definitely not be able to go out during new year's eve, Boyce seemed lonely.
“Okay.”
Boyce smiled, “I thought that you forgot me because you're all married.”
Matthew reminded him, “Don't spill it out.”
“I know.”
Matthew walked out the villa, it was snowing hard outside, his grey coat blew in the wind, leaving a thin piece of snow on his hair, he pressed the car key's unlock button, the car light flashed, he then opened the car door and got inside.
He lowered the car window and glanced at the villa, which was almost covered by snow, then he retracted his gaze, started the car engine, and left.
The car stopped at the Nelson family's, red lanterns were hung on the roof, it was very eye catching among the white snow.
He went in and saw the two children hanging ‘firecracker, fish...’ and various decorations which symbolized the new year, they felt that it was fun so they were very excited.
Jayden and Victoria followed them, in case they accidentally fell down.
Coral came over to take the clothes he took off.
“What about her?” Matthew asked.
“In the room.” Coral answered.
“She slept for the whole afternoon?” Matthew asked again.
Coral shook her head, “She went shopping.” she flaunted and said, “She even bought clothes for me, I have never seen such a good woman.”
Coral choked up when she talked to the end.
She never got married in all her life, she had no son and daughter, even if Matthew treated her well and gave her a lot of money, but no one had ever bought things for her.
Matthew patted her shoulders, “I'll go and take a look at her.”
Coral smiled and say, “Hurry, go upstairs.”
Upstairs, Dolores sat by the window, with the square pillow in her embrace, she held her chin with both hands as she looked at the heavy snow outside.
She didn't even sense it when the room door was opened.
Matthew walked over and put his hand on her shoulders, “What are you thinking about?”
Dolores raised her head, at that time, Matthew saw that her eyes were red so he caressed her cheeks, “What's wrong?”
“I miss my mom.” Dolores hugged his waist, she actually wanted to go to the Flores family to visit her, but she was afraid that they would quarrel again.
They had always celebrated new year together, that was the first time they didn't, she felt sad at heart.
“What if I send someone to pick her up?” Matthew tried to ask her.
Dolores shook her het, “Forget it, I'm afraid that we'll argue again, I just don't understand, Randolph is a selfish guy, she should've understood.”
“Don't think about it, do you want to change your clothes? Later we'll go and eat the new year eve dinner.” Matthew deliberately diverted her attention.
“By the way, I bought clothes for you, try and see if you can wear it.” she let go of Matthew, went down to wear her slippers, opened the bag on the bed, and took the suit out, “I think that it's very suitable for you, so I just bought it.”
Matthew's clothes were all custom made from overseas, he would not need to go and buy clothes in the mall for all the four seasons of the year, they had his measurements and they would send it every season.
He walked over, Dolores was excited, “Try it, okay?”
Matthew said yes respectfully.
