Chapter 158: Pregnant Before Marriage
Chapter 158: Pregnant Before Marriage
The content of the SMS record were the text messages between Maria and Dolores. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
There were also photos sent by Maria to Dolores.
The first one was around the same time as the LEO fashion show, and it said, [Do you want to know
who was that man six years ago?]
Matthew’s hand was shaking slightly. At that time, she had gone to the second floor alone to cry. Was it
because she had received this text message?
The second text message was at night.
Probably when he came to pick her. He recalled that Dolores had received a text message while sitting
in the car. Her face had turned weird and she had lied to him saying that Theresa had sent her a
message.
He swiped down a bit.
[You accepted my money, sold your body and unexpectedly got pregnant. You don’t know who is the
father, right?]
[Who are you? What do you want and why do you know about this?]
[The person then.]
[Whenever you want to meet me you can contact me. I heard that your store opened today.
Congratulations!]
[Your children are very cute. They resemble you and also their father.]
After reading the text message, Matthew knew why Dolores left suddenly with the excuse that
something had happened.
Knowing her, she might have been able to guess that it was a trap but she was still fooled by the other
party.
The other party knew her well and knew that she cared about her children a lot.
When the other party mentioned her children, she got confused.
His hands kept shaking.
Boyce didn’t dare to say anything and walked to the side to make a call, “Add more people and expand
the search area. Find the van as quickly as possible.”
“Okay.”
Hearing the reply, Boyce hung up the phone and looked back at Matthew.
The sky was getting brighter, the neon lights were no longer flashing and the streets were no longer
busy. The whole atmosphere was enveloped by a layer of haze. He walked over lightly.
“Do you want to go back first? I have already sent additional staff to find it. If you don’t go back
overnight, I am afraid your family will worry.”
Boyce couldn’t say that he had already searched until the daybreak so he should go back, so he
worded himself tactfully, “The children are also at home. They already hadn’t seen their mother for a
whole night, it would make them troubled.”
Thinking of Simona and Samuel, Matthew bent over, feeling like he couldn’t breathe. His chest was
being crushed by a heavy stone and there was no space to breathe.
Boyce got worried, “Matthew…”
Matthew raised his hand, signaling Boyce to wait. Without raising his head, he said in a low voice, “I will
trouble you with this then.”
“No problem. Don’t worry, I will try my best to find her as soon as possible.”
Matthew turned off the screen of the phone in his hand, put it in his pocket and sat in his car.
Samuel was a delicate and sensitive child; he was going to get really worried if Dolores didn’t come
back home for a night. Matthew had to go back home and handle the children first.
The roads were still very quiet at this time and only the breakfast stalls next to the road have opened
for business.
The morning dew was dispersed into the air with a hint of coolness.
as the car was about to reach the villa, he made a U-turn and went back to the hotel. There, he took a
shower and changed his clothes to make himself appear in good spirits before returning to the villa.
After parking the car at the villa, he looked at the time. It was four thirty in the morning.
Every one was supposed to be asleep right now. He walked into the yard lightly and pushed open the
huge front door.
The room was quiet and the light was dim. He stepped in and was about to go look into the kids’ room
to see the two children when he saw a small figure lying on the sofa.
He walked over to see that it was Samuel curled on the sofa without anything draped on his body.
Matthew bent over, trying to pick him up. But as soon as he touched Samuel, he woke up.
“Where is Mommy?”
His first sentence when he woke up was an inquiry about Dolores.
His eyes were still not fully opened and his voice was small and hoarse.
Matthew’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down mimicking his heart at the moment, “… She received a
new design, the customer wanted it urgently so she was worked overtime at the store. I stayed with her
all night, now she is sleeping in the store. She asked me to come home and check on your guys.”
Samuel rubbed his eyes, “Really?”
“Yeah.” Matthew picked him up, “Let me take you to the room to sleep.”
Samuel had hardly slept all night waiting for Dolores to come back. He was indeed very sleepy at the
moment. Unknowingly, he leaned into Matthew’s arms, making his posture more comfortable and
mumbled, “Mommy is busy again. She said that she will be busy during the day but would definitely
spare time at night to accompany Simona and me. This is unexpected.”
Matthew stopped in his tracks, his body stiffening.
He lowered his head to look at the immature face in his arms. His eyes were closed and he had said
those words sleepily, but they hit Matthew’s heart.
His voice was hoarse, “Really?”
“Yeah, she never says it but I know that she feels that we don’t have a father, so her love towards us is
a lot more than normal. She tries to make up for that shortcoming.”
Matthew’s hands around him tightened suddenly…
“Ah! It hurts!”
Matthew hurriedly loosened his grip; he had lost his control just now and accidentally hugged Samuel
tightly. His voice trembled slightly, “I’m sorry.”
Samuel didn’t think too much of it. He closed his eyes, continuing to sleep.
He was really tired.
Matthew put him on the bed. Simona who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed was nowhere to be
found.
The wide bed was empty.
Matthew covered Samuel with the quilt. Samuel twisted and turned, trying to find a comfortable position
to sleep.
Matthew stood by the bed and looked at him. He looked very sleepy. His small face was sunk in the
pillow, showing his silhouette, his white and tender cheeks and his small nose. His pink lips were
slightly apart as he breathed gently.
It looked like he fell into a deep sleep.
He stretched out a hand to touch Samuel’s face, gently…
But suddenly the door of the bedroom opened with a squeak and Jessica stood in the doorway, ‘Can I
have a few words with you?”
Matthew nodded, retracting his hand and walked out of the room. Jessica was sitting on the living room
sofa.
“Lola didn’t come back all night. Was she with you?” Jessica asked.
“Yes.” In order to prevent Jessica from doubting, he kept his expressions extremely indifferent.
As if nothing happened.
“I find it hard to believe.” Jessica didn’t want to believe that Samuel and Simona were Matthew’s
children.
“At that time, my son and I were in a car accident. It was very serious. Later, Lola got money from
somewhere and saved my life. My son was not able to get rescued in time and passed away at the
scene… Later, I found out where she got the money from. She said she had checked, and that it was a
native of that country. I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding. Should we make sure again…”
“No need.” Matthew interrupted Jessica firmly, “No need to make sure of anything, they are my
children.”
Now he knew why Dolores needed money at that time. It turned out…
He lowered his head, “I am sorry for making her take care of our children alone for so long.”
Jessica’s eyes were swimming with tears, “I also persuaded her, saying for a woman being pregnant
before marriage is very…”
Jessica was at a loss for words. She didn’t even know how to describe it, “I even forced her to not keep
it, but she didn’t listen… so I just let her be. As an unqualified mother, I could only accept her and let
her suffer with me…”
She pursed her lips and choked on sobs as her shoulders trembled.
“What are you going to do?”
She didn’t know what attitude Matthew had towards her daughter.
Did he like her or had any other ideas?
Although the children were Matthew’s, she still wanted her daughter to be happy. She hoped that the
man who lived with her liked her and was liked by her daughter as well.
Only then could she be happy.
If the two decided to stay together just for the sake of their children then they may not be happy.
“Lola raised them so they are used to living with her…”
“What do you want to say?” Matthew raised his head.
