Chapter 20: Chapter 20



.

Dolores stopped, turned around and saw Matthew walking towards her after releasing Helen from his embrace. Matthew walked slowly with a cold expression, “Apologize to Helen!”.

Dolores didn’t move, but returned his gaze stubbornly. “I will not apologize to her!”

Although he was afraid of her at the moment, he would never apologize to her for something she hadn’t done. She hadn’t done anything wrong. Helen pushed her first-she just fought back and reacted instinctively! Why should he apologize?

Matthew looked at Dolores’ expression and frowned. He realized that he had never looked at her carefully, not even when he lost his mind and kissed her. She was relatively thin, with a small face that was as big as the palm of his hand. She looked very delicate and pure, at the moment, her eyes staring at him stubbornly and steadily.

Dolores and Matthew stared at each other and neither relented. “If you pushed her, you need to apologize!” his tone was still cold, but less harsh. He seemed to have been shocked by her firm expression.

“Matthew, I’m fine, I just wasn’t careful. It’s not Miss Flores’ fault.” Helen was quick to interrupt the confrontation between Dolores and Matthew.

Helen hugged Matthew and said, “Matthew.”

Your source for updates gⱯlnσν𝓮ls․com She shook her head at Matthew, red-eyed, with an innocent, aggrieved look, “Matthew, I couldn’t sit still. Maybe it’s because the heels I’m wearing are too high. It has nothing to do with Miss Flores.” She struggled to defend Dolores.

Matthew looked at Helen’s high heels, which were indeed very high.

But he saw that Dolores was pushing Helen herself.What was going on?

“Matthew, I may have sprained my foot just now, it hurts.” Helen’s beautiful face scrunched up, she looked so cute.

Matthew reached up to tuck her messy hair behind her ears.

Matthew couldn’t help thinking that Helen was the one who was always there for him without asking for anything in return, without making trouble. When he was poisoned and needed a woman, she sacrificed herself without hesitation. Even after they had sex, she still did not ask him to marry her. Instead, she continued to stand quietly by his side. It was also at that time that Matthew wanted to marry her. He did not love her. He had never loved any woman. He did not believe in love. His father married another woman after his mother died within a month. There was no love in the world. Love was a ridiculous illusion.

“Are you silly?” She asked Helen.

Helen snuggled lightly in his arms, “As long as I can be with you, I’m up for anything. I don’t think I’m silly, I just feel very happy.”

Dolores wouldn’t look at them. She turned around and walked to the door.

Looking at Dolores’ back, Helen secretly smiled. Helen thought that Dolores would no longer have the opportunity to be with Matthew alone after what had happened.

Helen didn’t know that Matthew had seen her expression. Matthew said nothing, but turned and walked into the room.

Helen walked quickly to follow him, “Matthew……”

Matthew turned his head and looked at her slightly. He looked at her high heels and said significantly, “Don’t wear shoes that are too high in the future.What if you fall?”

After speaking, he headed toward the study and, as he reached the door, he paused, “I’m busy today. You can go now.”

Before Helen could react, the door to the study closed.

Helen stood there, staring at the high heels on her feet. What did Matthew mean, did he care about her? But it looked like Matthew meant something else.

Helen stepped forward and wanted to knock on the door, but Coral stopped her, “Didn’t the Young Master tell you to come back?” Helen knew Coral didn’t like her.

She tried hard to please Coral, but it didn’t work.

Coral was not just any maid, but the one who had taken care of Matthew since he was young. Matthew respected her a lot.

“Matthew, I think he seems to be in a bad mood. I want to accompany him more…”

“Miss Flores would accompany him if necessary. Miss White, please don’t bother to come in the future, lest people say she is a mistress, which would damage Miss White’s reputation.”

Coral did not like Helen even before Matthew married Dolores.

Now Matthew had married Dolores, if Helen kept coming around a lot and trying to get close to Matthew, she would be considered a mistress in Coral’s eyes.

No one liked a mistress, especially older people like Coral.

“Matthew loves me. Marrying Dolores is not what he wants. You’re the one who took care of him when he grew up. Don’t you want him to be happy?” Helen tried hard not to shout at Coral. Coral was just a maid-how dare she tell her what to do!

“I think Madame had her reasons for arranging the marriage for the Young Master at that time. The Young Master is already married, is Miss White going to meddle in other people’s marriages and be a mistress?”

Although what Coral said was harsh, she still showed good courtesy. She stepped forward and made a please gesture, “Miss White, please.”

Helen clasped her hands tightly at her sides. She was trembling with rage, but she could do nothing but leave.

Coral immediately closed the door once Helen left.

Helen’s body froze in surprise. She slowly turned around and looked at the closed door, her expression changed. She became so angry that she could no longer control her expression.

At the same time, Matthew stood in front of the window, looking at the expression Helen had never shown in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly.

“Young Master, will Miss Flores be back for lunch? Dolores didn’t return last night and left as soon as she got back today. Coral didn’t like her very much. Coral thought that Dolores had already married Matthew, she had become a wife, then Dolores should act like one. Besides, it wasn’t good for Dolores not to stay home at night, especially that they had just gotten married.

Matthew thought about her going into the hospital earlier, and turned his head, “It’s no good, lunch…”

Matthew didn’t know if she would be back by noon.

Now he realized he didn’t even have her phone number.

Coral sighed, what had happened to people today? Couples acted like strangers. They didn’t sleep together, nor did they know anything about each other after they got married.

“I don’t know why the lady decided to arrange this marriage for you in the first place.” Coral sighed.

Since Madam’s death, Matthew had moved away and rarely returned.

Coral thought Madam must have had her reasons for arranging Matthew’s marriage.

But now she was becoming increasingly confused.

Matthew’s expression suddenly became serious and he said, “I’ll look for her.”

Coral, “…”

Coral became even more melancholy. Matthew and Dolores were not acting like a couple, more like strangers.

Matthew picked up the jacket from the back of the couch, put it on and walked out with the car key.

On the way to the hospital in the car, Matthew thought of something and called Abbott.

“The land contract at Repulse Bay, please order it and send it to me.”
