Chapter 1038 Hidden Anything from Me

Joshua was lost in thought.

Amanda was greeting the relatives and friends who came to grieve over. Since there were too many
guests, the parking lot didn't have enough space. She had to find other parking places for them.

After the memorial ceremony, Kevin’s coffin would be sent to the cemetery

Before that, the family and relatives would bid him the last farewell. Since they would part forever, the
atmosphere was full of sorrow.

The host who presided over the funeral expressed his sorrow for the dead. He said, “Mr. Kevin Forbis
is going to Heaven today. Men have joys and sorrows. The moon could be full and crescent. There are
inevitably life, death, separation, and reunion in the world. Although he is far away from us, his voice
and smile remain in our hearts forever.

“Here, I hope his family and relatives could restrain their grief and accord with inevitable changes.”

Funeral music was played.

All people at the scene stood up and bowed at the dead three times.

In the sobs, Kevin’s coffin was lifted and sent to the cemetery.

The cemetery was located in the east suburbia in City C with the best location. It wouldn't be sent to
White City because they had all settled down in City C. Later after Jessica passed away, she would
also be buried next to Kevin.

After the procedure was done, it was already in the evening.

All of them were gathered in the villa.



Theresa made some tea. Since none of them had meals today, she called a restaurant and ordered a
few takeouts.

After all, the dead had passed away, and the living ones should live well.

“The funeral is over. Shall we take Andrew to for a checkup?”

Jasmine came here alone for Kevin’s funeral. Boyce had a meeting with the top. Besides, because he
had applied for early retirement, he was quite busy. Hence, he couldn’t make it.

Jasmine had to come here alone.

After the funeral was over, finally they had time to talk with each other. Now, Andrew’s eyes worried
them the most. After all, it was a big thing.

“Not necessary...”

“You always refused, but we’re worried about you.” Theresa also thought that he needed a checkup in
the hospital.

Andrew could see blurred things now. Earlier, he could only see black.

For easing his elders, he agreed, “Okay. I’ll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.”

“That’s right. You can’t always make us worried.” Theresa poured him a glass of water. “You haven’t
eaten for a whole day. Have some water.”

Right then, the doorbell rang.

Theresa went to answer the door. It was a delivery man. She asked others to help her carry the
takeouts into the house, putting them on the dining table.



After paying for the check, the delivery man left. Theresa put the lunchboxes out one after another. “Go
wash your hands. Let’s eat.”

Jasmine came over to help her. She filled a bowl with some soup and sent it into the bedroom. Jessica
was quite upset, so she was lying on the bed. Dolores and Amanda had been with her all the time.

Jasmine also brought her some light dishes.

“I’ll accompany her. Why don’t you go out and eat something?” Jasmine took the tray with dishes to
Jessica and said.

Amanda stood up to take over the food from Jasmine. “Let me stay here with Grandma. You should go
to eat.” She lowered her head and said to Dolores, “Mom, you too. Have some food.”

Dolores still had something to tell Matthew. She patted Amanda and said, "I'll be back later."

“No worries, Mom. I’ll sleep with Grandma tonight. You can go back to your rooms. Please rest
assured.” Amanda wanted to ease their burden.

Actually, she was also quite closed to Jessica, who had brought her up.

“Are you afraid I can take care of Grandma?” Amanda asked.

“All right. I’ll leave her to you.” Dolores stood up.

They all sat at the dining table, having some food.

Joshua was responsible for taking care of Andrew. He fed Andrew with food.

“When I was little, have you fed me before?” Joshua asked.



“When you were only two months, he pressed such a huge candy into your mouth. You almost choked
to death.” As Jasmine answered, she gestured the size of the candy.

She remembered that she was holding Joshua that day. When she didn’t pay attention, Andrew
pressed a huge hard candy into Joshua’s mouth. She was almost scared to death.

Joshua was so speechless.

“It seems I was so lucky so you didn’t torture me to death,” he said.

“I was showing my love to you,” said Andrew.

“Please save it. I can’t enjoy your love.”

Dolores drank a bowl of soup. She didn’t have any appetite to eat other food. It had been a long day, so
everyone was quite exhausted. After dinner, the women chatted in the living room for a while and
cleaned up the dining table. Since they didn’t cook, it didn’t take them much effort.

When it was about nine o’clock, all went back to their bedrooms. Dolores went to check on Andrew.
Joshua sent her to sleep. He would take Andrew himself.

They were quite close, so Dolores left Andrew to Joshua. After all, they hadn’t talked for a long time.
Patting on Joshua’s shoulder, she reminded him, “Don’t bully Andrew.”

"Gee, don't worry, Mom. I won't press a hard candy into his mouth." Joshua waved his hand. "Good
night."

“Okay. Good night.”

Back to her room, when opening the door, Dolores heard the message tone on her phone. She
received a message from Charles. “Let’s have lunch tomorrow. I’ll leave in the evening. You were too



busy today. I even didn’t have time to talk to you.”

"Okay," Dolores replied to him.

“Eleven o’clock, in Riverside Restaurant.” Charles sent her the time and address.

“Ehn.” She replied simply.

She put away the phone and pushed the door open and entered. Matthew had finished showering. He
was wearing blue long-sleeved pyjamas made of silk. He lifted the quilt, sat on the edge, and was
about to lie down.

Dolores closed the door and walked to him. Standing in front of him, she asked, “Have you hidden
anything from me?”
