Chapter 696 The Secrets

Dolores nodded.

A deep frown creased Matthew’s forehead and he asked, “Why she is here?”

“She found out that Armand wasn’t here and seemed to sound me out, saying that she was worried
about Boyce, but I don’t think it’s simply because of him,” She said despondently.

In her mind, she was worried that Boyce would have conflicts with her in the future.

Matthew said, “Don’t worry about it.”

During the previous days when Boyce was unaccounted for, they hadn’t had much rest; moreover she
had pined away a lot as Amanda suffered from irritability. He didn’t want her to worry about other
people’s emotional stuff.

“Boyce is an adult, he can handle it himself, there is no need for us to get involved,” Matthew said
indifferently. In fact, he had secretly investigated her.

“By the way, why didn’t Armand let Boyce come back? What did he want to do? And where is Boyce
now? Is he injured?” Thinking of Armand who deliberately asked them to conceal the Miller family and
didn’t tell the reason back then, they were curious as what he had up his sleeve.

At that time, Matthew had no idea either, but he had received a message from Armand today and knew
the current situation of Boyce and his relationship with Jasmine Burke. Armand had told him
everything, asked him not to tell Wendy Miller that Boyce was fine and stated that Boyce also knew
about this matter.

“I’ll tell you later at night.”

Now was really not the right time to discuss this topic, after all Wendy was downstairs.



Dolores nodded and didn’t pursue the matter. When they walked downstairs, Wendy was already sitting
at the dining table. She stood up when she saw them coming down and said, “I’m sorry to bother you
today.”

Dolores smiled and said, “It’s okay, have a seat.”

Matthew hugged his daughter and sat down at the main seat while Dolores took a seat next to him.

She smiled and said to Wendy, “Make yourself at home.”

Wendy smiled and said, “Yes.” Then she sat down again and looked at Matthew, “Does Amanda need
to see a psychiatrist?”

He didn’t response.

Dolores immediately smoothed things over, “She has seen the doctor. She is in shock, it’ll take some
time to recover. Would you like to drink red wine since you like it?”

She smiled and said, “No.”

“Well, it’s my fault too. Now Boyce are unaccounted for, how can we eat and even have a drink at
ease.”

Dolores asked Coral, “Is the spirit-quieting decoction that I asked you to cook ready yet?”

Coral said, “It’ll be ready soon.”

She nodded, “Serve Miss. Miller a bowl later, she must not have rested well these few days.”

Coral glanced at Wendy and felt that she didn’t look like she hadn’t rested well either. She felt
uncomfortable, “Um.” Then she turned around and went into the kitchen.



Wendy suddenly realized that she might have shown too much of her enthusiasm and became less
concerned about Boyce. Were Dolores’s words just now on purpose?

Soon she tensed up for a moment.

Coral was handy in the kitchen and the dishes she made were flavoursome and attractive.

At this moment, Wendy had lost her appetite.

Coral served a bowl of soup to Dolores first, then served Wendy reluctantly, “Miss. Miller, be careful, it’s
hot.”

She was a little awkward and said without looking up, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” She said coldly.

Dolores felt a headache and didn’t bother to say anything as Wendy who was such a smart person
could definitely feel that Coral disliked her.

However, it was difficult to force someone to like a person they disliked.

She placed the soup that Coral had took over in front of Matthew, “I see that you’ve not slept well these
few nights.”

Matthew looked up, “Do I wake you up?”

Because of Amanda, he didn’t sleep soundly at night.

He had to wake up several times at night to check on his daughter.

Dolores replied, “No.”



He frowned and thought, ‘Do you think I’m stupid? How do you know that I wake up during night if
you’re sleeping?”

She just realized that what she said wasn’t convincing after she finished her words.

Wendy lowered her head, as if she was superfluous and felt uncomfortable.

“Mrs. Nelson.” She suddenly spoke, “I’ve no appetite, I’ll go back first today, thank you for your treat.”

As she spoke, she stood up.

Dolores also stood up and asked, “Is it because of Boyce’s matter, so you can’t eat?”

“Yes, now his fate is still unknown, how can I eat?” she acted in an upset way.

Dolores said, “Then I won’t force you.”

Wendy got up from her seat and Dolores walked her out.

“Do you need me to call a driver to fetch you?” she asked politely.

She waved her hand and said, “No, I come by car, you can go back.”

After watching her leave, she closed the door and went inside, then sat down and said, “What kind of
attitude did you show towards her? It isn’t polite that you didn’t respond when she talked to you. After
all she is Boyce’s girlfriend, I noticed that you and Armand don’t like her much.”

Matthew looked up at her, “Do you like her?”

She said pertinently, “It’s not that I dislike her, I just don’t think she is as innocent as she looks.”



Matthew knew she had remarried and rejected Boyce before, thus he asked someone to investigate
her secretly.

Perhaps Boyce didn’t even know what he had found out.

He lifted up his eyes, “She and Boyce aren’t suitable.”

He put his phone in front of Dolores, “Look at it yourself.”

She picked the phone up with curiosity and swiped to unlock screen.
