Chapter 996 You Are Not Dirty-Minded

“I didn’t go to see him, it’s just that I have sent someone to protect Amanda from the dark. I knew that
he has gone to Thailand, not in City B.” Matthew had concealed the fact that Stanford had come to City
C.

“What was he doing in Thailand?” Dolores asked coldly, “Wasn’t he afraid that he would bump into
me?”

“If he met you, what do you plan to do with him? You didn’t even allow me to punch me last time.”

Dolores didn’t respond to that, “Wash up and let’s sleep.”

It was not like she didn’t hate Stanford. Even beating him up wouldn’t have vanquished her anger. It
was just that she had finally understood that it was better to stay as far away as possible from someone
like him. The best-case scenario would be that they would not cross paths ever again.

She wanted to get some water, but Matthew took her waist and made her sit on the bed, “Let me get it.”

Dolores said after thinking about something for a moment, “Say, do you think our daughter has finally
let go after all this time? After all, she really loved Stanford back then. Do you still remember when she
was putting up a fight against us?”

“She will let go.” Matthew wanted her not to overthink, “Something as dangerous as that won’t happen
again. You don’t need to worry.”

“Children are always the debt of parents. We will never cease to worry about them. How can I just not
worry?” As she said that, something occurred to her, and she just lied down on the bed without even
washing up.

Matthew who was going to get some water stopped waking, and he looked at her. He had a feeling that
she must have remembered something, and his eyes lowered. In the end, he said nothing as he turned



around to the washroom to get some water.

He placed a basin of warm water by the bed and reminded, “Wash up first before you sleep.”

Dolores pretended not to hear that as she continued to feign sleep after turning around a little.

Matthew flipped the blanket away and grabbed her leg.

However, Dolores retreated her legs, “Don’t touch me.”

Matthew pressed himself on her and grabbed her head so that her face was facing his face, “We are
already so old. Aren’t you afraid that our children will look at us as laughing stock?”

“Do you think I’m old?” Dolores asked him with wide eyes.

Matthew smiled, “Of course not. In my eyes, you will always be eighteen.”

Dolores didn’t know whether to get fuming or just burst into laughter, “Get off me. You think you are still
young?”

“You are not old, so naturally I am young too.” Matthew got up and placed her legs into the basin.

On the second floor at that moment, Bonnie was sitting in front of a computer. She was reading
incoming messages on the monitor with Milo in her arms. She was laughing away while reading those
messages.

Milo was a cat she was recently raising. It was not of a rare breed. She simply picked it up from the
streets when the cat was still stray.

Joshua came into the room and saw her grinning at the computer. He asked, “What are you looking
at?”



“Looking at people messaging each other.” Bonnie turned her head around and waved at him, “Come
here.”

Joshua walked towards her.

“See, look at this conversation.” Bonnie signalled for him to look at the monitor.

Joshua took a look and after reading a few messages, his brows knitted together, “You’re checking out
other people’s conversation?”

Bonnie explained, “Do you still remember that our company has just launched a new application? It is
designed to cater to single people and it is a platform for them to interact. We are at the testing stage
now, and our boss wants us to observe what users are talking about on the application. Everything
needs to be recorded in a report.”

“So you’re just invading others’ privacy in a nutshell?” Although Joshua sounded very critical, he wasn’t
really going to reprimand her for this. He knew very well that it was just part of her job, and the
company had a policy that would protect all privacies. Those who were being spied on wouldn’t know
that they were being watched by someone too.

“It’s boss’ order. As his underling, I can only listen and obey.” She placedMilo on the table and turned
around with her arms around her waist. She began to coo, “If you think my job is not good enough, I will
just resign. You have to take care of me. What do you think of that?”

Joshua pinched her chin, “Let’s say I will provide for you. What can I get in return?”

Bonnie’s eyeballs rotated slightly as she replied, “I will warm your bed during winter and fan you during
summer. I will prepare clothes for you during autumn too.”

“What about spring?” Joshua inched closer to her and their eyes met.



“Spring is lacking winter’s coldness. Maybe you should cut down on the clothes you wear?”

Joshua looked obviously unsatisfied with her answer, “It doesn’t fit the season at all.”

Bonnie was speechless for a moment.

“Then shall I accompany you on a trip in spring?”

“Heine once said that if farmers don’t plant the seeds in spring, those seeds won’t bloom during
summer which means there will be no harvesting going on in autumn which ultimately leads to nothing
left to be enjoyed in the winters. Say, what do you think you should do during spring?”

“Plant the seeds…” Before she could finish, Bonnie immediately understood the underlying meaning.
She punched his chest and cursed at him, “You’re shameless.”

Joshua smiled, “Why is planting seeds shameless?”

“Joshua!” Bonnie was shamed and angry at the same time, “Leave my room now. I still need to work.”

“Why do I see your face blushing?” Joshua grabbed her hand which was pushing him away and poked
the centre of her palms, “You’re not dirty-minded, it’s me who worded the sentence strangely. Don’t be
angry, or else you won’t be pretty anymore.”

He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips.

Bonnie tried to dodge it as she was no longer fuming. However, she was still embarrassed.

Joshua hugged her and brought her back to the front of the monitor. There was a constant inflow of
new messages on the screen.

He wanted to see whether there were any funny things he could read from there.



“It’s not funny at all. What are were laughing about just now?”

Bonnie moved the mouse and replied, “You will know in a minute.”

Joshua waited for it while he grabbed a freshly sliced apple from a tray and put it into his mouth. He
chewed the fruit while waiting for her to retrieve the chat room.

When she heard him eating an apple, Bonnie said, “I want to eat too.”

Her eyes were still glued to the monitor as she moved the house to adjust the position of the chat room.

Joshua’s gaze fell on the fruit tray, and then he stole a glance at her. Seeing that she was focused on
the computer with a serious face, he suddenly had an idea.
