The content was “Good morning!”
Dolores stared at these words. She was thinking if the message last night was a prank or a random message sent by somebody.
Then what did this one mean this morning?
After Matthew helped his daughter wash her face, he walked out and saw Dolores standing by the bed while staring at her phone. So, Matthew approached her. Dolores was deeply immersed in her thoughts that she did not notice Matthew was already standing behind her. She was shocked when Matthew asked her who had sent her a message.
“Why are you walking without any sound?” Dolores put her hand over her heart which was still pounding.
Matthew looked at her, “It is not that I’m walking without any sound. You’re just too engrossed. Who sent you the message?”
Good morning?
Who?
Charles White?
Still not giving up on Dolores by now?
Dolores sat on the bed and raised her head while looking at him.
Matthew looked at her, “Why don’t you say anything?”
Dolores scrolled to the last message and pursed her lips, “It is strange. There have been unknown messages since last night. What does this person mean and what does he intend to do?”
Matthew took her phone over and scrolled through the messages. Then, he frowned as he seemed to be surprised as well.
“Have you been fooling around with girls outside?” Dolores frowned as she did not suspect him purposely. However, she just could not figure out who would do that with an appropriate reason.
Matthew took a glance at her and did not say anything. He forwarded the contact number on her phone to his own phone, “I will find it out. Don’t think too much about it.”
Dolores lowered her eyes, “I’m not thinking too much. I just feel a bit uneasy. Who will do that?”
“I will find it out.” Matthew’s tone was serious with imperceptible anger.
She had been in a good mood this morning. However, she could not calm down after encountering such a situation.
She was really afraid that if anything would happen again. Fortunately, Boyce’s issue was resolved without any trouble this time, but what about next time?
“How is Declan now?” Dolores asked.
It was him since the last time.
“He has been sentenced to prison.” Declan had completely ruined himself. He originally had the opportunity to go abroad and avoid imprisonment. Now, he was like seeking his own death and nobody could save him anymore.
Dolores lowered her eyes, “It won’t be him then.”
Matthew told her not to think about it anymore, “I will find it out. Your daughter is hungry. Let’s go downstairs to eat.”
Dolores nodded and reached out to caress her daughter’s face, “Bring Andrew back today. He can play with her too. It is so lonely with nobody at home all of the sudden.”
Previously, Theresa, Jayden and Kevin were at home. But now, they were all gone and the villa became so quiet all of the sudden.
At first, Matthew wanted to bring Amanda to the company as it might be good for her recovery by getting along with more people. However, he gave up the idea of bringing his daughter to the company after receiving these unknown messages.
The main focus now was to find out who had sent those weird messages to Dolores’s phone.
“I will fetch him after the meal,” Matthew said.
Dolores nodded her head.
The house had been cleaned by Coral, but there was still a faint smell of alcohol. So, Matthew asked Coral to open the windows for ventilation.
Coral said, “The windows are open. It may take some time to get rid of the smell.”
“If you can’t get used to the smell, just stay upstairs.” Matthew lifted his eyes and looked at Dolores.
She did not have much appetite as she chewed the food in her mouth bit by bit.
Perhaps, she was thinking about something and did not pay attention to Matthew’s words.
So, she did not respond either.
Matthew looked at her.
He knew that even she had promised not to think about it anymore, but she must be thinking about it over and over again in her mind.
