Dolores hesitated before walking slowly towards him.
She had never looked at him attentively at that close distance. His body exuded manly maturity, appearance, warmth, and generosity. His eyebrows, his forehead and his temples were all serene without a single disturbance. It was this exact peace and calmness that caused her heart to flutter.
Perhaps she thought that he might be the father of the child inside her and that was why she was concerned about how he thought of her.
Women are emotional creatures. She was even more sensitive during her pregnancy.
“He helped me a lot. I didn’t know that this was the event that he wanted me to accompany him to. I definitely didn’t know that you would be present, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
He frowned with a profound expression. No one could tell what he was thinking. Dolores thought that he would not believe her and regarded her as those easy women. But she wasn’t!
“I…”
“Are you trying to explain yourself?” He asked.
“I hope that you don’t misunderstand me.” In the past, she wouldn’t bother about how Matthew viewed her. But it was different now. If it was really him and they had a child together, then it was important to have a good impression on each other.
“You are so sincere that I can’t hate nor can I do anything about it.” He truly became angry when he saw her appearing with Sampson. He wanted so much to pinch her to death as she had never taken his words seriously.
“Go into the house.” He stood upright and walked towards the courtyard with Dolores following closely behind.
Coral had already gone to rest. The living hall was spacious and empty.
He undid the buttons on his business suit and said, “I’m hungry.”
Dolores took over his jacket, “It’s so late already. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”
He softly answered and sat on the sofa. He leaned back into the sofa and relaxed. He closed his eyes while his slim fingers undid his collar and removed his necktie. Dolores hanged up his jacket and proceeded to the kitchen to cook some noodles.
She took out some vegetables, eggs, and tomatoes. She fried some eggs with tomatoes and then cooked the noodles. It was ready within a short time.
In the living room, Matthew looked at the slim figure working busily in the kitchen and had a homely feeling.
Dolores served the noodles to the dining table, “It’s ready.”
She went to pour two glasses of water. She placed one glass of water next to Matthew and then pulled out a chair opposite him and sat down. His collar was undone revealing his sexy collar bone. His rolled-up sleeves revealed his sturdy arms. It was as if he had been pampered by his creator. Even the way he held his chopsticks was a sight to behold.
He lowered his head to eat the noodles and then he gently frowned because it was tasteless. Dolores couldn’t help but laughed. She took the ladle and scooped two servings of fried eggs with tomatoes onto the noodles, “You need to mix the noodles with the tomatoes and fried eggs and they’ll taste much nicer.”
Matthew raised his head and saw Dolores smiling sweetly. He had never seen her smiling so happily to him. Her eyes were sparkling, crystal clear, and pure. She was mesmerizing.
Dolores raised her head and saw the man looking at her and asked carefully, “Does it not suit your taste?”
Matthew came to his senses and let out a soft cough. He took another mouthful and then said, “No, it’s delicious.”
Dolores drank some water and looked outside the window.
“Aren’t you going to bed?” Matthew looked at her.
“I’ll wait till you finish eating and then wash up the dishes before going to bed. If we leave the dishes here, Coral will have to clean up in the morning.” She pinched her chin as she said.
