Chapter 768 I Knew He Wouldn’t Agree with It

Matthew laughed and pointed his finger to Dolores’ chest, “Is it tickling here?”

Dolores held Matthew’s hand and asked him to stop playing around.

Matthew chuckled, “You played with me first.”

Dolores adjusted her body to a comfortable position. She smiled and asked Matthew, “When did I play
with you?”

Matthew smiled, “You tell me.”

“I don’t know. You tell me,” Dolores answered in a playful tone.

Matthew smiled in resign. He pinched Dolores’ nose, “You’re naughty.”

Dolores slapped Matthew’s hand, “It hurts.”

Matthew let go of Dolores and laid down beside her. He hugged her into his arms and smacked her
butt, “Make sure you have a smooth delivery.”

Dolores kissed Matthew’s forehead and said, “Our child will be safe.”

Then Dolores stopped talking. Matthew was exhausted, so he fell asleep very quickly.

Dolores woke up at around six o’clock in the morning. She grabbed over the phone and gave Noah a
call. She wanted to tell him that she couldn’t attend his wedding reception.

Dolores had been contacting Noah since the wedding. They texted each other a lot.

Noah was concern about Dolores’ pregnancy as well.



Dolores didn’t tell Noah about her condition. She didn’t want people to worry for her. Furthermore,
Noah was busy in the military.

Noah rarely had time to come back. He only got to come back for his wedding after getting approval
from the military.

Dolores wanted to go to the wedding. It wasn’t because of Jeffrey. Noah didn’t have to pay for his
parents did.

But Dolores can’t ignore her health condition.

The call got connected quickly. Before Dolores could say anything, Noah asked Dolores, “When are
you coming over? Do you need me to come and fetch you here?”

Dolores suddenly didn’t know how to answer Noah’s question.

“Hello?”

Noah sensed something wasn’t right, “What happened?”

Dolores quickly replied, “It’s nothing. Noah, I’m afraid I couldn’t attend your wedding reception. I…”

“Why?” Noah stopped Dolores before she finished her explanation. He sounded disappointed, “Is it
because of my father?”

Dolores looked down, “No…”

“Then what it is?”

“I’m not exactly in good health…”



“It’s an excuse!” Noah didn’t believe in what Dolores said. Dolores never mentioned that she was sick.
Sometimes, Noah would ask Dolores how she had been feeling, and she said she was alright. How
come she became sick when he asked her to attend his wedding reception?

Did Dolores want to avoid them?

Noah thought they got over what happened in the past, and they had decided to only cherish the
moment. He thought they were no longer related to what happened in the past anymore.

“I’m disappointed in your absence. We haven’t seen each other for a very long time. I wanted to see
you. I also wanted you to be there for me in the most important event of my life.”

Dolores pouted, “I’m sorry.”

“I don’t need your apologies, and you have nothing to be sorry for. Instead, we’ve owed you, but I really
hope that you’d be here. You can tell me if anything is bothering you. I will handle it for you. If you don’t
want to see my father, I can ask him not to…”

“Noah…”

Dolores stopped Noah. It wasn’t because of Jeffrey. Matthew had let go, so Dolores won’t keep holding
grudges on him either. Furthermore, Jeffrey got punished already.

Dolores felt resigned.

“I’ll pick you up at nine,” then Noah hung up the phone.

Dolores sighed. She stared at the phone and didn’t know what to do.

“I’ll talk to him,” a voice rose beside Dolores. She turned and saw Matthew staring at her.



“You’ve woke up?” asked Dolores.

Matthew got up from the bed and took a deep breath. He turned and looked at Dolores. Dolores pouted
and asked, “You’ve heard everything?”

Matthew nodded and got off the bed.

Dolores laid down and felt complicated.

Matthew got out of the bathroom after freshened up. He took a shirt and put it on. Dolores stared at
Matthew, “Are you going to be busy at work today?”

Matthew stared back at Dolores. He knew what she was going to say, so he didn’t answer her right
away. Instead, he continued staring at Dolores.

Dolores curved her lips, “Can you go with me?”

Matthew buttoned his sleeves and walked to Dolores. He didn’t want her to attend the wedding
reception. Dolores’ due date was near. What if something happened to her?

Dolores understood what Matthew meant when he remained silent. She pulled his arms and said
carefully, “I’ve thought about it. The wedding is important for him. It is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. He
wanted me there so badly, and it seemed inappropriate if I don’t go.”

Matthew looked at Dolores, and he didn’t feel like agreeing with her request, “Do you understand what
kind of danger you’re putting yourself into now?”

Dolores nodded, “I know.”

“Then why do you still want to go?” Matthew sounded sulky.



It was already dangerous in this phase of pregnancy. What if something happened to Dolores when
she was at the wedding reception?

Matthew wouldn’t interfere with Dolores’ decision if she was healthy, and he would go with her as well,
provided she was healthy. But it wasn’t what was going on with Dolores now. It could put Dolores and
their child in danger.

Matthew didn’t want to risk anything at all.

Dolores let go of Matthew. She knew he wouldn’t agree with it.
