Chapter 336: Chapter 336



.

Matthew wore nothing but a white bath towel.

He was naked to the waist and exposed his muscles.

Droplets of water rolled down his abdominal muscles to his groin area and then down to his sexiest private part.

He gave off a strong sense of masculinity with this look and his cool, handsome face.

Dolores swallowed unconsciously and turned her head to the side, “Was that an accident?”

She wanted to know if Jeffery had sensed something wrong there.

Dolores wouldn’t tell Matthew that Charles was in B-town if Charles did it secretly without leaving a trace.

They could hide the car accident as if it hadn’t happened if Victoria could convince Charles to put what had happened in the past behind him and leave B-town.

No one would be affected by this affair.

Matthew looked down slightly, “It wasn’t an accident.”

“You mean someone did it on purpose?” Dolores suddenly turned up the volume, and soon realized that she was too excited. She tried to disguise her excitement with a smile, “I’m just worried about Jeffery.”

Matthew remained silent and looked at her indifferently.

Matthew grabbed her by the wrist as soon as she moved. He spoke in a commanding tone, “Look at me.”

Dolores didn’t lift her head and tried to shake him off, “You’re hurting me.”

“Look at me,” Matthew spoke in a flat but terrifying tone.

Dolores was startled for a moment before slowly raising her head. There seemed to be a trembling, heavy hammer hanging from her heart that connected with a thin cotton thread as if it would fall at any moment. She felt tortured by every second Matthew looked at her.

He looked stern and his voice was getting lower and lower, “What are you nervous about?”

“I’m not nervous,” Dolores affected a calm she didn’t feel.

“You seem to be worried about whether the car accident was an accident or someone did it on purpose. Or did you know from before that it wasn’t an accident?”

“No, I didn’t know.”

Dolores didn’t notice that an expression of disappointment flitted across Matthew’s eyes.

It vanished in an instant.

“I don’t like it when you keep too much from me. Distrust is the other meaning of deception.”

Matthew let go of her hand and waited for Dolores to take the initiative to tell him.

Matthew waited for Dolores to take the initiative to tell him instead of forcing her to tell him.

Dolores called out to him the moment he turned around, “I met with Charles today.” Matthew turned to her and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He soon learned the reason for the car accident.

Charles had said earlier that he would discover the person who had imprisoned Nathan back then, and that he wanted to avenge Nathan.

Charles arrived in City B, and by chance Jeffery had a car accident.

This meant that Charles had discovered that Jeffery was the person who had imprisoned Nathan, so he came to City B and planned the car accident.

Dolores hugged him and her face pressed against Matthew’s chest, “Don’t go through with it, since Jeffery is not in danger this time. Give me a little time and I’ll convince Charles to leave B-town.”

Matthew frowned, he didn’t like Dolores interceding for Charles.

“When did you see each other?” the muscles in his face tightened, and he stretched his neck tightly.

“When you went to the hospital,” Dolores was honest with him. The relationship between her and Matthew was rocky. She didn’t want to drive a wedge between her and Matthew because of this issue.

Matthew recalled the situation at the time. He remembered Dolores taking the initiative to leave, and going with Charles instead of persuading him to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

“Where did you meet?”

“At the hotel.”

“What did you say?”

Dolores lifted her head and felt a little pain in her heart.

“He told me that he had found out who had killed his foster father and that he had come to B-town to get revenge on Jeffery.”

Dolores released her embrace. She sensed that Matthew was also wary of her for pushing her so hard.

Dolores lowered her gaze and fluttered her eyelashes, “You don’t believe me, do you?”

Matthew pulled her into his arms and pinched her chin, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just don’t like him tangling with you and I don’t like you seeing him.”

He leaned toward her and put his lips on hers without leaving any space. He bit her lips and said vaguely, “Don’t meet him again from now on.”

“But, Ouch!”

Dolores was about to speak, but Matthew suddenly increased his force to bite her lips and made her frown in pain.

He pressed her down on the bed.

Dolores struggled softly, “I haven’t showered yet.”

“I don’t care.”

There was little light in the room when Dolores awoke. She discovered that Matthew was not sleeping next to her. He picked up the phone from the table. Dolores double-clicked to wake him up and the time on the screen was 11.25 a.m. She sat up quickly and thought, ‘It’s already noon.’

She felt pain all over her body since she sat up too quickly, especially in her waist and lower body.

Dolores thought Matthew had done it on purpose last night.

She got out of bed and got dressed. She opened the heavy curtains that blocked the light and sunlight streamed in through the window. It was nice weather, bright and sunny. It was like the mild days of spring.

Dolores washed and went downstairs. No one was home. Samuel and Simona went to the nursery. Jayden went to see his old friend while Victoria went to the hotel.

Charles was surprised to see Victoria because he didn’t expect her to take the initiative to look for him.

It just so happened that he wanted to talk to Victoria, and this was the opportunity.

“I apologize for coming.”

Charles smiled and said, “I treat you like family, so no need to be polite. Come in and talk.”

Victoria entered the room with her purse.

Charles asked Tom to stand guard at the door, “No one can disturb.”

Tom lowered his head and said, “Understood.”

Charles pushed his wheelchair into the room and closed the door, “Have a seat.”

Victoria sat down on the couch and said, “I won’t beat around the bush, so let’s get straight to the point. I hope you’re not looking to get back at Jeffery for the past.”

Charles was a little surprised at her words. He hadn’t expected Victoria not to want him to take revenge on Nathan.

He didn’t understand why Victoria would say that.

“Jeffery has imprisoned you and Nathan in the past. You are the most important thing to Nathan and you were also in his heart, so I respect you too. But I can’t accept your words. Since you and Nathan loved each other in the past, I think you know that Jeffery cut off Nathan’s finger. Now I want to avenge him. You don’t support me, but try to stop me. I don’t understand.”

Victoria’s hands clenched and her fingernails scratched back and forth across the back of her hand, but she didn’t feel it at all.

Victoria would never forget the scene where Jeffery forced her to call Jayden while two men pressed Nathan down on the table. Jeffery forced her to do it and threatened her that he would cut off Nathan’s fingers if she didn’t call Jayden.

In the end, Victoria had no choice but to do as he said.

What Charles wanted to know was whether Victoria had ever loved Nathan.

However, Charles thought Nathan had passed away many years ago, and Victoria wasn’t young, so he didn’t ask what he wanted to know.

“I was worried about him, and that’s why I came to see you today. I don’t think I would want you to put yourself in danger if he were still alive. Let go of the hatred.”
