Chapter 1022: I Agree
Matthew bit the bullet and said, "I'm telling the truth."
Dolores stood up from his lap, gazing at him coldly.
Her gaze made him so uneasy. “Why are you look at me like that?” he asked.
“Matthew Nelson, since when did you learn how to lie?” Dolores looked at him. “If you don’t give me a
reasonable explanation, I won’t let you leave town.”
After that, she walked to the door. Matthew grabbed her hand to stop her. “You’ve become a mother-in-
law, but you are still so childish. If they saw you, it would be so embarrassing.”
“Then tell me the truth.” Dolores looked back at him. “Where the heck are you going?”
Knock. Knock--
Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door. Dolores said, "Matthew, let go of me."
Matthew released her. “I’ll go open the door.”
It was Abbott and his wife at the door. His wife was a beautiful western woman with fair skin and deep
eyes. A girl around ten years old was standing with them. She's Abbott's daughter, a mixed-race girl.
Her hair was brown and she also had fair skin, but it wasn't so snow-white as her mother's. Her face
was ruby. She had big eyes with blue in her pupil
Right then, she was wearing a dress with a bun on her head, looking so adorable. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Dolores wave at her. “Come here, Kmi.”
“Hi, Mrs. Nelson,” Kmi called her sweetly. Then she threw herself into Dolores’s arms.
Although Kmi was quite young, she was in the same generation as Joshua and Amanda, so she was
quite close to Dolores.
Dolores held her up. “You’ve gained some weight, looking chubby.”
Kmi smiled and said, “I like Chinese food.”
"She has quite a good appetite recently, especially after coming back to China. She couldn't control
herself at all," said her mother, Lina, with a smile.
“She’s still young. It’s OK for her to be chubby.” Dolores gently pinched Kmi’s cheek.
Abbott said he wanted to talk business with Matthew, so they went out to have a private talk, leaving
the two women in the lounge.
Shortly after, they came back in.
Dolores held Kmi while sitting on the sofa, feeding her chocolate.
“Excuse me, Dolores.” Abbott sat down. “I want to take a break.”
Dolores didn’t look at him. Instead, she looked over at Matthew and asked, “What did you talk about
outside just now?”
“It’s something about Abbott’s work,” answered Matthew.
Originally, Abbott did report his work status to him and that he would leave town in two days. However,
Matthew used it as an excuse to fob off Dolores.
Dolores believed that there was a connection between Abbott’s break and Matthew’s plan to leave
town.
“Abbott mentioned it to me earlier,” Matthew added.
“Do you want to take a break?” Lina looked at Abbott. “Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?”
Lina was speaking Chinese. Although she couldn't speak fluently, she had no problem with daily
communication.
“Remember you said you want to take Kmi to France? I want to take a break and take you there for a
vacation,” said Abbott hurriedly.
“Don’t you always say you love working?” Lina couldn’t understand what Abbott was doing, so she kept
exposing his lies.
Abbott was speechless.
He realized that his wife was so slow.
“No matter how much I love my work, I’ll get tired. I haven’t taken a vacation for several years. Now
we’re still young, let’s take Kmi for a holiday,” Abbott tried his best to cover his lie.
“That’s great! We haven’t gone on a family trip for a long time!” Lina became so excited. Suddenly she
got such good news.
Taking the chance, Matthew answered, “I can’t approve your vacation.”
“Why not?” Lina subconsciously asked.
“She doesn’t allow me to go to work,” Matthew said with implication. Lina immediately looked over at
Dolores.
“Dolores, don’t you allow Abbott to have a vacation?” she asked.
Dolores was speechless.
For some reason, she suddenly became a bad person.
She wondered why she must be responsible for such a thing.
“I agree.” Dolores refused to be a bad woman.
“Okay. I’ll have a trip with my wife and daughter then.” Abbott smiled happily. He didn’t have such a
plan earlier, but suddenly he could have a vacation to relax. He felt quite delighted.
Matthew cast him a casual glance.
Looking at his gaze, Abbott put away the smile instantly.
He realized that since Dolores had agreed and Matthew’s goal had been achieved, he still had to work
without a break.
Suddenly, Abbott felt sorry for himself. He had been working all the time without a stop.
He believed that he should remind Matthew about the fact.
With Abbott’s cooperation, Matthew had successfully escaped from Dolores’s attention and hidden the
fact that something happened to Andrew from her.
“If you’ll go to the company, I’ll stay in town for more days. I won’t go back for the time being,” said
Dolores. She wanted to stay longer with her kids.
Matthew agreed naturally. It was a good thing. If Dolores went back to Thailand alone, he was afraid
that she would make some wild assumptions.
“We buy a new villa for Joshua. Dolores, why don’t you pick up one for him?” Someone died in the
former one, which was a bad sign, so the new couple couldn’t continue staying in it.
Dolores said, “I’ll get it done.”
“It won’t take long for me to go to the company. Abbott could take a rest for a few days,” said Matthew.
Dolores paused packing for him, looking up.
