"Yes, it is. I don't believe in previous lives either." Wendy smiled.
"Mrs. Nelson." Coral came over, "Where did you put the ingredients for the last soup? I'm trying to make a soup and I can't find the ingredients." Coral walked over and said.
Dolores hadn't cooked recently, nor had she made any soup. But taking Coral's hint, Dolores quickly reacted, "Oh, I'll find it for you."
With that, she stood up and said to Wendy, "Have a seat. I'll go in and help her look for it."
Wendy nodded, but in her heart, she felt contempt for Dolores' hypocrisy. Coral was just a servant, and she treated her like family. Was she showing her kindness in front of her?
Dolores was already walking towards the kitchen and did not notice Wendy's contemptuous gaze, yet Coral accidentally saw it. She walked towards the kitchen with her head down.
Only when she entered the kitchen did Dolores ask, "Did you call me for something?"
Coral didn't answer her but brought in a chair from outside. Dolores looked confused, not understanding what she was doing.
"Coral ..."
"Mrs. Nelson. "Coral helped her sit down. Dolores sat down and asked with a smile, "Coral, what's wrong with you?"
Coral glanced out and whispered, "Who the hell is that Miss Miller out there?"
Dolores replied, "She's Boyce's girlfriend."
Coral's eyes widened, looking incredulous, "What? Boyce's girlfriend?"
Realizing that her voice was a little too loud, Coral quickly covered her mouth.
Dolores didn't understand why she was making such a fuss and asked, "Yeah, what's wrong? Why do you look so surprised?"
Coral folded her arms, "How can she be good enough for Boyce?"
Dolores with amusement, "Why?"
Coral analyzed, "Look, Boyce is very decent and nice to people. Look at this woman, she looks shrewd and cunning. Also, seeing that you are pregnant and holding a child as big as Simona, she doesn't have any self-awareness and keeps pulling you to talk. I just couldn't stand it, so I called you in on purpose."
Dolores sighed, "You can only say this to me. Don't let anyone else hear it. After all, Boyce personally introduced her to us. We have to respect her. Even for Boyce's sake, we have to treat her well."
She was also a little uncomfortable in her heart. It wasn't because Wendy didn't care about other people's feelings, but, although she said she couldn't let go of Boyce, she looked as if she wasn't that worried.
If Matthew's whereabouts were unknown, she was afraid she would not be in the mood to run to someone else's house and offer to have dinner at their home.
"Alas ..." Dolores sighed, "This time, Boyce is suffering because of us. For his sake, Coral, you have to be warm to Wendy."
Coral said, "I know. I won't let her see that I don't like her."
Coral washed her hands and continued cooking, "I just don't think she deserves someone as good as Boyce."
Because of Boyce and Matthew's relationship, Coral knew Boyce before Dolores did and naturally knew him well.
"I used to think that he would find a very nice girl for sure. Who knew he'd find such a ... Wendy looks pretty, but she just doesn't give me a really good feeling." Coral thought she was not good enough for Boyce.
Dolores looked at Coral's back as she cooked and curled her lips helplessly. If she knew that Wendy was married for the second time, she would surely feel even more that she was not good enough for Boyce, right?
"Coral, why don't you make a soup?" Matthew wasn't idle these days. He didn't sleep well at night, and he looked a little tired.
"Okay," Coral answered.
Dolores stood up.
Coral turned around, "You're going out?"
"It's not good to leave her alone in the living room." Dolores patted Coral on the shoulder, "It'll look like we're being rude."
Dolores was right. She nodded, "That must've been rough for you. It's obvious you have nothing to say and she has to find something to say."
