Chapter 122: Chapter 122



.

Dolores was silent as she thought someone was nearby.

But she realized that no one was there; instead, the surroundings were quite quiet.

“What are you doing?” asked Dolores.

Matthew looked at her, his eyelashes quivering slightly.

She was sitting on her thighs with an odd posture.

The posture was quite ambiguous.

Dolores’ face immediately turned red and even her neck flushed. She looked like a cooked shrimp.

“You… You…”

Dolores reached up in an attempt to cover her face, but Matthew grabbed her wrist with his palm and restricted her movements.

His Adam’s apple rose and fell and his black eyes flashed a trail of light that fogged her.

She laughed and said hoarsely, “You’re going to kill me, so I can’t die with remorse.”

Dolores’ mind had gone completely blank.

She did not react at that moment as she had lost the ability to think.

“When will you accept me?” His lips slowly moved closer to hers and his breathing made Dolores shiver all over her body as if a rush of electricity had gone through her skin and spread to her legs and arms.

Her eyes were tinted with a thin layer of tears.

“I don’t know.”

“But I can’t wait any longer.” His loving eyes were like the scorching sun in a tropical desert that Dolores felt so hot and couldn’t find a word to respond for a long moment.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll consider it silent approval.”

One of his hands ran all the way to her waist along her twist….

A harsh light reflected in the rearview mirror happened to dazzle Dolores, which made her immediately grow somber. She pushed Matthew aside and said, “No. I haven’t prepared. You promised me you’d wait until I accepted you.”

“But you accepted him just now.” Dolores was speechless.

“I haven’t.” Then she denied.

“There seems to be someone over there.” Dolores saw a black car parked behind Matthew’s through the car window.

But Matthew just thought she was looking for an excuse, “Don’t try to fool me.”

Dolores had a serious look on her face, “I didn’t fool you. It’s a black car and the license plate is ZQ6668.”

Matthew paused and then looked back.

It was true that there was a black car behind them.

His face darkened slightly. And the romantic mood of the car cooled a little.

“Do you know the owner?” Dolores had noticed the change in Matthew’s expression.

Matthew confirmed with a nasal sound.

It was his father’s car-how could he not know the owner of the car?

But why was he here now?

He buttoned Dolores’ clothes and indicated, “Be in the car.” Dolores nodded.

After helping Dolores dress the clothes, she pushed open the car door, got out of the car and walked to the car in the back.

“It’s really Matthew.” Victoria spoke to her husband. Jayden made a long face, “Why is he here right now?” Why had he become more and more unruly lately?

Jayden had intended to go out and get Matthew alone, but Victoria was worried that they would fight, so she came with him.

Thomas got out of the car and greeted Matthew respectfully, “Young man.” But Matthew just ignored him and stared at the people in the car.

“Are you free now?” asked Jayden.

Matthew replied nonchalantly, “Any business?”

“I can’t come to see you if I don’t have any business.” Jayden had always tried to have a sensible, clam chat with Matthew, but the response he got from him was always an indifferent, cold stare.

Jayden was getting angry at every turn.

Victoria grabbed his hand to comfort him so he wouldn’t get angry.

Matthew laughed, “Do you have time?”.

When Matthew was 20 years old, Jayden turned the company over to him.

Since then, he had not worried about any company business and had been with his wife at home.

Matthew often thought that, if his father and this woman gave birth to a child in the future, he would definitely let the child take control of the company.

Although Matthew did not mind this matter, he could in no way accept the fact that his father had fallen in love with another woman.

His father brought this woman home less than a month after his mother’s death.

Apparently, he had cheated on his mother with this woman before her death.

“What’s your attitude?” Jayden furrowed his eyebrows.

It was really hard for Jayden to keep his cool in the face of Matthew’s blatant sarcasm.

Victoria stole a glance at her husband and sighed helplessly. This father and son pair had always clashed.

She pushed open the door and got out of the car, then said with extreme humility, “Landon Herbert came to our house to fetch your father for some news.”

“Don’t interfere in my affairs.” Matthew drove off after finishing the words.

“We only care about you.” Tears welled in Victoria’s eyes as she watched his tall back leave. She added, “Although the Herbert Family is now in crisis, they have accumulated their reputation and social connections after all. If we really offend them openly, I’m afraid they would do something bad to you.”

But Matthew kept moving forward as if he hadn’t heard the words.

“Stop!” Jayden shouted sternly. He took a deep breath, then asked, “What woman are you with now?”

Matthew froze in place for a while. Then he slowly turned around and stared at the gray-haired man standing under a lamppost, “Did I ask you what woman you were with together?”

Jayden shook violently from anger, “It’s been many years. You should let it go.”

“Since I haven’t intervened in your affairs, please don’t meddle in mine either.” This time Matthew didn’t utter any harsh words, but his tone was very cold. There was no emotion in his words and it sounded like he was talking to a stranger.

He turned around again after finishing the words. After taking two steps, he stopped and said to the man behind him without turning around, “As for the news, I know what the decorum is.”

Jayden felt grumpy, “Go home.”

Victoria didn’t move. She merely stared at Matthew’s high back walking away.

“Come on.” Jayden reached out to take her hand.

He had confidence in Matthew’s ability and believed he would resolve the matter.

When Matthew took over the WY Group at the age of 20, he was barely a college graduate, but now Jayden was proud of the accomplishments he had achieved.

“I just want to take a look at it.” Victoria wiped tears from her eyes.

Jayden came to her side, took her hand and also looked at Matthew’s back, “You should feel happy.”

Victoria was still a little upset. Yes, she should feel happy now.

Matthew went back to the car and started it up without saying anything.

Dolores noticed that he was in a bad mood. She didn’t ask any questions and just sat next to him in silence.

Matthew didn’t know where to go and drove haphazardly through the urban area. Dolores reached out and placed her hand on the back of his.

Now she could resonate with him.

Coral had told her earlier about the quarrels between Matthew and her father.

And she saw the people who got out of the car a moment ago. Since Victoria had come looking for her earlier, she recognized him.

Dolores didn’t have a bad impression of Victoria because she felt that Victoria was different from the other homewreckers.

But she was a homewrecker after all, she was now Jayden’s official wife.

“My father cheated on my mother too. So I know how you feel now.”

Matthew fixed his eyes on the back of her hand, turned the steering wheel and stopped the car at the edge of the road. He reached out to embrace her hand. When her warm, soft body felt in his embrace, he discovered his heart wasn’t so empty.

He rested his head on her shoulder and whispered, “Let me hold you for a while. Just a little while.”
