Chapter 834 A Friend in Need Was a Friend Indeed

Coral was quite worried about her, “You look so pale.”

Dolores turned her back to Coral, “I’m alright. Please receive the guests first.”

Coral could only agree.

After she was gone, Dolores collapsed on the bed. She could hardly believe it. She felt so uneasy, cold
sweat oozing on her forehead.

She tried to calm herself down, keeping telling herself that the situation shouldn’t be too bad.

Picking up the phone, she dialled Matthew’s number.

The CEO’s office, WY Group.

Matthew, wearing a black shirt with a loosened necktie, was staring at the document in his hands. His
collarbones could be faintly seen from the collar. His sleeves were rolled up. There were two piles of
documents on his desk. Without raising his head, he asked the man in his office, “Haven’t you made up
your mind yet?”

Abbott sat in front of the desk, lowering his head in silence.

“It’s just a woman. Look at you. Are you still a man?” Matthew closed the file and put it away. Then he
picked up another file.

“You’ve got married, so now you can mock me. In the past, didn’t you chase after a woman all over the
world...”

Matthew paused while browsing the document. He looked up and cast Abbott a casual glance. The
latter became a coward immediately. Inwardly, he bitched about Matthew for being double-standard.



“Ahem... I was kidding. Haha...”

“Come back to work from tomorrow now. You should have enjoyed yourself long enough,” Matthew
gave him an ultimatum.

Abbott was still spiritless, “Aren’t you afraid I would fail you?”

“No woman would prefer a useless man. If you have nothing, who wants to marry you?” Matthew
directly asked him ruthlessly. Abbott was rendered speechless.

Abbott believed that Emma would definitely look down upon him in that case.

He nodded and stood up, taking the initiative to ask, “Anything I can do for you now?”

Matthew put down his pen and raised his chin, hinting that Abbott could take away both piles of
documents in front of him.

Abbott gaped.

“You are oppressing me now, aren’t you?”

“I’m giving you a chance to show your performance.” Matthew shook his neck a bit.

Right then, his phone started vibrating.

He picked it up and swiped to answer. Then he heard Dolores’s hoarse voice from the other end of the
line, “Matthew, please come home early today. I have something to tell you.”

Matthew could sense that something was wrong from her voice. He asked, “What happened, honey?
Are you not feeling well?”

“Not really. Please come home early. I’ll be waiting for you no matter when you’ll come home.”



After that, she hung up the phone. Holding the phone, Matthew stared at the phone screen, slightly
frowning. Then he put it down.

Abbott picked up the documents from his desk, “I must have owed you a lot,” he said.

Matthew curled up his lips and said, “I’ll give you a raise.”

Abbott couldn’t complain more as Matthew said so. He devoted himself to the work soon.

He walked away with the documents.

In the villa, Dolores adjusted her mood and walked out. Seeing that Noah was also there, she still
smiled although she felt upset, “Why did you guys come here together?”

Theresa answered, “We met at the gate.”

“I came back to see Chloe. Since we are free, we decide to come to see you and the baby. Where is it?
I want to hold the baby.” Noah smiled. His fair skin had turned to tanned skin. He used to look gentle
but now he looked rough.

Dolores said, “The baby is out.”

Kevin came back with Theresa this time just for seeing the baby. Now it was getting cooler, Jessica and
he took the baby out earlier today.

“I see.” Noah was a bit disappointed.

Dolores sat down and asked, “Did you say you came back to see Chloe? Isn’t Chloe serving in the
military base now?”

“She resigned a long time ago.” Noah scratched his head, “She’s pregnant.”



“For real?” Dolores said with a smile, “Congratulations! You’ll be a father soon.”

Theresa’s gaze fell on Chloe’s abdomen. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes quickly.

As women, others could give birth, but she couldn’t.

She looked down expressionlessly.

Noah would become a father for the first time, so he was expectant and nervous. Right now, he was a
bit embarrassed.

“We bought some gifts for the baby.” Chloe passed the boxes to Dolores. The latter took them over and
said, “Thank you so much. Next time, please don’t bring anything. We don’t lack anything. The baby is
growing fast. Things could be wasted.”

Chloe smiled, “We can’t come here with empty hands.”

“We are family,” said Dolores.

“Can I come to see you often in the future? You have the experience to give birth.” Chloe was afraid
that Dolores was still disgusted about what had happened before.

In fact, she also felt a bit disgusted. However, she knew that it was because she was out of her mind so
that she had done those wrong things.

After marrying Noah, she had understood a lot of things.

She treasured the current peaceful life she was leading.

“Of course,” Dolores smiled and answered.



“By the way, Noah has been promoted as the regimental commander,” said Chloe.

“Really?” Dolores looked over at Noah, “Are you the youngest regimental commander now? I’m so
happy for you.”

“This is not my ultimate target. I must develop the Harris family and make it prosperous again,” said
Noah solemnly.

Dolores said, “I believe you can.”

Chloe looked at Noah’s shiny eyes. In the past, she didn’t realize it but now she believed that Noah
was a man worth spending the rest of her life with. His hardworking and generousness were so
charming to her.

She believed that Noah could definitely make the Harris family prosperous again.

Chloe didn’t hide while staring at Noah. Seeing that, Dolores curled up her lips into a smile, feeling so
happy for Noah and Chloe.

After experiencing so many things, the two families had changed a lot. When they were both in the
most difficult time, the two fell in love and got married. Dolores believed that they must love each other
truly. After all, a friend in need was a friend indeed.
