His face moved closer to her, “If you dare to indiscriminately suspect me in the future, I…” He gazed at her lips, lowered his head and bit it.
She felt a sudden pain. The taste of blood spread in her mouth.
She frowned. It hurt, it really hurt. This man really bit her.
“In the future, for every time you wrong me, I’ll do this as the way of punishing you, it sounds fair right?”
Dolores lost her mind as she gazed at the man in front of her. She could not understand all his strange behaviours.
“Do you know what’re you doing right now?”
Speechless, Matthew did not know how to answer her question. Every matter that happened after he met this woman was so unexpected that he lost control of himself and became different from what he was in the past.
It was clear in his mind that this woman was not good as she was impure and did not respect herself.
But he was interested in such a bad woman and he felt like he was a real man – a man who had a normal physical reaction that a man should have when facing a woman.
His emotions were hidden and he did not show any expression.
He smiled faintly and asked, “What about you? You rushed forward to cover me from the sword without caring your own life, is it…”
As he said, his face moved even closer. When Dolores took a step backward, he would take a step forward to approach her. They were very close to each other. The smile on his face was faint, soft, gentle and could hardly be ignored, “Is it that you fall in love with me?”
That was why she was able to rush forward without concerning her own safety when the danger came?
Actually, after he turned around, he was shocked when he saw her rushing over.
Dolores turned her head and did not look at him, “Mr. Nelson is really good at joking. I’ve only known you for a few days, how will I fall in love with you?”
If she did not suspect that he was the father of the child in her belly, she certainly would not be so impulsive at that moment.
She cherished her own life as she had to survive for the sake of her mother and her child.
Matthew did not become angry. He moved back and leaned on the sofa, smiling, “Perhaps, you fell in love with me at the first sight? This can happen, right?”
He was apparently speaking to Dolores but it also sounded like he was soliloquizing.
Dolores’s hand on her leg clenched tightly but she said with a calm face, “I don’t believe love at the first sight.”
Finished speaking, she stood up and go to pour water for herself, thinking to deliberately ignore this topic. They were strangers to each other but they lived under the same roof due to fate. And now they were talking about the most indefinable word in the world, ‘love’, wasn’t it funny and ridiculous?
While drinking water, Dolores looked through the glass and gazed at the piano that was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. A dark mood came over her.
The next day.
Dolores went to the hospital to see Jessica. This time, Jessica was sober as she could recognize Dolores at the first glance. She pulled Dolores’s hands, not letting them go.
“Lola, I’m very happy that you come to see me. I miss you a lot during this period.” Jessica held Dolores’s hands so tightly that she was afraid that Dolores would disappear as soon as she released her hands.
Seeing Jessica being sober, Dolores was jubilant, “I won’t leave. When your condition becomes better, I’ll bring you to leave this place.”
After the engagement with Matthew ended, she would buy a small house and live with her mom.
“How come Dr. Herbert didn’t visit me for the past few days, is it that you’re angry with him?” Jessica more or less knew Sampson’s thought.
She liked Sampson very much and was very satisfied with his personality.
Besides, he was a doctor.
If Dolores could be with Sampson, it would naturally be great.
But Dolores was pregnant and the identity of the child’s father was unknown.
Whenever Jessica thought of the child, she would fall into a state of deep gloom.
“He has something to do so he may not come to see you for some periods.” Dolores slightly sagged her eyes. Sampson promised that he would help her to find out what happened that night. So, he should be in A Country now.
