Chapter 545 Domineering and Passionate

Matthew didn't stop them, standing inside the house and watching Dolores follow Jayden out.

He knew what Jayden was probably going to say to Dolores.

Amanda turned his head so he could look at her, "Daddy, I want to keep this dog, is that okay?"

"I'll get you a small one." This dog was too big for her and he felt insecure that it might hurt her.

The dog was smart, but just in case.

"No, I only like it." Amanda pouted, her head rubbing into his neck.

"I have this dog, and it is also trained not to bite anyone. Since Simona likes it, you just let her keep it,"
Kevin said again that the dog had been trained.

He knew Matthew must be afraid that the dog would hurt the children.

This dog was docile. Although it was big, it was not grumpy.

Moreover, the well-trained dog was clean and would not urinate or defecate anywhere. All it needed
was a doghouse, food, and water, and it didn't take much work.

There were maids at home, and they didn't have to worry about that.

"Is that okay? See, Granduncle even agreed to give me the dog," Amanda pouted and kept pleading,
almost crying.

He was always soft in the face of his daughter. Finally, he agreed.

Amanda immediately smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you, Daddy."



She was so excited when she got out of his arms and ran to the Samoyed to pet its head. The dog
meekly rubbed its head against her palms, making Amanda laugh.

She looked up at Kevin, "Granduncle, you give it to me, and it's mine. I want to rename it."

The name Kevin gave it was Simba. Although it was cute with its white fur, it was big and strong with
long hair, so Kevin gave it that name.

Kevin squatted next to Amanda, petted Simba's head, and said to Amanda, "Of course you can! Once I
give it to Simona, it's Simona's."

Although the names of these two children were changed, they preferred to call them by their original
names because it felt familiar.

The previous names were taken as their nicknames.

Amanda happily cuddled Simba's head and stroked its fur, "I'm going to call it Cotton. It's white and
big."

Kevin smiled and said dotingly, "Simona is so smart. Your name is much better than mine."

Amanda held the dog's head and kept calling it Cotton. She was proud of the name she chose.

Andrew sat aside without speaking, studying the game he had just lost alone.

Armand came in with a big bag. Not only did he buy fruit and ice cream, but he also bought some
snacks for the two children.

He put the bag on the table and said, "Come on! The ice cream is going to melt."

Amanda quickly ran up to Armand, "Where's my ice cream? I want it."



Armand took the ice cream to her and handed the other one to Andrew who didn't say anything, "Hey,
why don't you look happy? Do you want ice cream?"

Andrew didn't look up and said, "No."

It seemed that he wouldn't rest until he figured it out.

Armand said, "This kid is pretty serious. It looks like he lost again."

Matthew sat opposite his son, "Do you want to go again?"

Armand looked around, didn't see Dolores, and asked, "Where's Dolores? I got the cake she wanted."

Matthew put the cake aside, ignored Armand, and began to put the pieces on the board in their
respective places. Then, he said to Andrew, "You go first."

Andrew looked up at him, "You first."

Matthew raised an eyebrow, "It's not good for you to be so tough." Despite what he said, he went first.

"I'm not trying to be tough. I just want to know my strength and I don't want others to let me go first."
Andrew looked at the board carefully, taking each move cautiously.

Armand ate Andrew's ice cream, pulled a chair and sat aside, watching their game with interest.

Halfway through the game, Andrew lost half of his pieces. It looked like he was going to lose again.
This time, Andrew got hit really hard. He didn't want to play before the game was over.

He didn't say anything, got up, and left.

He looked angry.



Armand said, "Tsk, why are you so serious about playing chess with your son! Can't you just let him
win? He's lost several times."

Matthew also wanted to. But Andrew was too competitive and proud. If he deliberately let him win, he
wouldn't be happy even if he won.

"He still has a long way to go. If I'm soft on him, can anyone else be soft on him?" Matthew got up with
the cake and walked out.

Armand turned down the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Inhumane."

Matthew was inhuman to his friends and his own son. In short, he was an inhumane man.

Jayden didn't take Dolores to the room to talk, but to a quiet place outside the courtyard where large
and lush camphor trees with dense leaves blocked out the sunlight. Under the trees was a large shady
area. With an occasional breeze, it was very cool and not hot at all.

"I heard about you guys," Jayden said first. He stood under the trees with his back to Dolores.

Dolores looked at his back. He had lost a lot of weight in the past two months. His eyes weren't as
bright as they used to be.

If it weren't for the two children, he wouldn't even have the energy he had now.

It was only when the two children were here that he looked more spirited.

"You knew her heart from the beginning, and you knew how important Matthew was to her. She surely
wanted her son to live a happy life, not be separated from his wife and children by her death," Jayden's
voice was low. He brought Dolores out to try to talk her out of the past. After all, it wasn't her fault.

What could be wrong with her?



She couldn't choose to be born and she couldn't choose her family. She was put through this by the
last generation.

"I think she must want you to take good care of her son, not stay away from him because of her death.
If you feel guilty, you should stay with him and take care of him and the two children. Those two
children are so poor that they don't have any peaceful days."

How poor the children would be if they did separate!

Jayden turned to look at Dolores, "We don’t know what we have until we lose it. But when you lose it,
you can't get it back. Promise me you'll go back with him this time."

Dolores kept her head down, "I promise you. I understand what you mean."

Jayden nodded in satisfaction, "I'll be here for a few more months. But I'll go back occasionally to see
the two children."

It seemed that he was saying that he would go back from time to time to see if they were together.

Dolores knew his thoughts. She was touched, "Dad, thank you."

After all, Victoria's death had something to do with her more or less, but he still treated her with such
tolerance.

Jayden sighed, "Silly girl, you call me dad and her mom, so we are family. Don't thank me."

He waved his hand, "Go inside. It's hot outside."

Dolores didn't say anything, but she wasn't calm inside. Hearing Jayden's words, she felt mixed
emotions. He said that people didn't know what they had until they lost it. He seemed to be referring to
himself.



She thought, 'Jayden should be talking about him and Victoria.'

He had regrets for Victoria.

She understood and would cherish what she had now, including her lover and family.

After this incident, she realized her feelings for Matthew.

Her love for him turned out to be so deep!

She had just stepped over the threshold when she was grabbed by the wrist. Seeing that it was
Matthew, she said nothing and followed him into the room.

This was the room in the east, the room where he slept last night. It was clean and spacious. Although
it was a wooden house, it had modern decoration inside and it was convenient to live here.

Matthew pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed and without asking anything, he took her in his arms
and kissed her on the lips. In the past, his kisses were always deep, domineering, and passionate. But
this time, he just kissed her gently. He repeatedly pressed his lips gently against hers and then quickly
left.

Dolores looked into his dark eyes, knowing that he was testing ...
