The car stopped at the villa. He pushed open the door and got down. Sean’s car also stopped at that time. He pushed open the door quickly and got down to catch up with Matthew.
“Bother...”
Matthew had always taken care of him and he always called him brother. Although it might be not suitable for him to call Matthew brother now because of his current identity, the habits and feelings over the years had not changed.
Matthew paused his footsteps for a moment. He turned around and saw Sean running hurriedly.
“I’ve been waiting at the company for a while. My mother called me and asked me to go back, so I decide on myself to come and meet you. I know what you want to ask.” Sean handed him a letter, “You’ll understand after you read it.”
Matthew’s face was as deep as water, no joy or anger was visible. Even without reading it, he could guess what was written in the letter. He reached out his hand and took it. He did not unfold it to read the content immediately, but glanced at Sean, “In the future, don’t come over again.”
After saying that, he continued to take his steps.
“Why?”
After reading the letter, Sean knew that Victoria was his biological mother, but did not know that Victoria’s death was caused by Jeffrey.
In his opinion, Dolores’ identity was a happy ending for all as Jeffrey would not think of ways to break them up. He thought this was a good thing.
Matthew did not explain. Jeffrey’s fault had nothing to do with Sean. He did not want to be angry with him but he did not want to have anything to do with him either. His expression and tone were very light, “Please leave.”
“Brother.”
Sean wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but Matthew walked to the door and ordered the bodyguard who was guarding the villa, “I don’t want anyone to come in and disturb.”
After he said that, he walked inside the house. Sean, who was coming after him, was stopped by the bodyguards outside the door. He shouted at Matthew, “Isn’t it good for us to know Dolores’ identity? My father won’t break you up, right? Why are you and Dolores so determined to draw a clear distinction? Before this, my dad was ridiculous and did a lot of wrong things. However, he knows he’s wrong and has suffered a lot. He’s gotten his comeuppance. Dolores doesn’t care that he’s her father?”
Matthew did not hesitate to pause his footsteps. He did not answer his question. He shut the door immediately and isolated his view. His eyes were red and he was eager to go in and ask for clarification. He tried to break away from the bodyguards, “Move aside, I’ll just go in and have a word with him.”
“Sorry, you can’t go in.” The bodyguards’ attitudes were clear. They would not let him in. Without Matthew’s order, they would not let him in.
Sean stomped his feet in anger. However, he could barge himself in, so he could only leave first.
Inside the house, when Coral saw Matthew, she was not calm. She looked at him, “Missus said that you are treating them to dinner. Why are you coming back? Where are they?”
After hearing Jessica’s words, he could guess why Dolores behaved so strange. It might be because she planned to leave earlier on.
His face was cold, his eyes were heavy, vaguely revealing a hint of helplessness and heartache, his tone was light, “When did she leave?”
Coral glanced at the clock on the wall and replied, “Two or three hours ago.”
“Okay.” After saying that, he went upstairs. Coral wanted to ask him where Dolores and the children had gone, but seeing that Matthew was not in a good mood, she did not dare to ask.
She quietly retreated.
On the first floor, Matthew pushed open the bedroom door. The room was the same as when he left in the morning, nothing had been moved. He walked in slowly. She did not take her stuff away. She only brought the two children. The only change was that there was a bouquet of flowers on the table in front of the window.
