Chapter 1044 Only Cared For You

“Why do you still do such childish things at this age? Do you know how old you are now?” Dolores was
annoyed, “How could you tell the kids that we were washing the bedsheets last night because I…”

She was too embarrassed to continue her words.

“I didn’t say it. It was his guess.” Matthew took a sip of water, “I was just going along with his words.”

“Really?” Dolores did not trust him.

“You can ask him later.” He put his cup down.

Why would Dolores do that and bring up the topic again? And to ask their son? She’d be nuts to do
that.

“You did that because you didn’t want me to meet Charles. Don’t you think you’re childish?”

‘Can this man ever grow up?’ Dolores thought to herself.

Charles was the last person Matthew would ever want to talk about.

After all, Charles was still infatuated with Dolores after so many years. Matthew did not like that one bit.

“He isn’t a good person either.”

Dolores approached Matthew and sat on the sofa by his side, asking, “Why is that?”

Matthew’s voice was low, “First of all, he isn’t single. He’s doing it for his own selfish desires without
caring about other people’s feelings. Could he be considered as a good man?”

That made Dolores silent for a moment because she couldn’t retort to what Matthew had said. It was
the truth that Charles had betrayed Tiana.



Although Tiana wasn’t brilliant, she was a kind lady. Charles shouldn’t have taken her opportunity of
being a mother forever.

If one were to be kind, they could call Charles loyal. If it were on the harsher side, he would be called a
jerk.

“You’re still angry?” Matthew leaned over, only to get a glare from Dolores. Then, she asked, “Have you
eaten?”

“Yeah.” There was no one at home, so Matthew had gone out for lunch earlier.

“I’m hungry.” Dolores had been busy all morning. It was about time she got hungry. She told Matthew,
“Don’t do such childish things anymore next time.”

He responded, “I got it.”

When Dolores entered the kitchen, Bonnie was about done with lunch, “I cooked noodles.”

Joshua stood at the side, “Mom, did you fought with Dad?”

“I hope the noodles can make you shut up later.” Dolores did not take a look at her son at all. She was
helping Bonnie to cook lunch.

Joshua was persistent. He wanted to find out if his parents had a fight because of Charles.

“Mom…”

“Can you stop…” Dolores looked back, and before she could finish her sentence, she saw Andrew, who
was at the kitchen door.

She thought Joshua had called her earlier, so she was a little harsh with her tone. Now that she saw
that it was her eldest son, she had a change of expression. Even her voice became softer, “Are your



eyes better now?”

Andrew nodded, “It’s almost completely healed. You were angry earlier?”

“She’s mad at me.” Joshua interrupted, “Andrew, did you see that? Mom’s so biased towards you. She
cares so much about you, but she would only scold me.”

“You’ve gotten the best benefit already.”

“Mom didn’t even find me a daughter-in-law when I was younger. Look at you. You have had your
marriage arranged since you were born. You better be grateful.”

Joshua chuckled. Indeed, he enjoyed the best benefit already.

While they were eating lunch, Andrew spoke after thinking for a moment, “Mom, I want to go out for a
bit.”

“Where to?” Soon, Dolores realized that he might want to look for the girl who saved him, so she did
not stop him, “I haven’t thanked her for saving you yet. It’s good for you to look for her.”

“I’ve got plenty of time to rest this time around. After I look for her first, then I’ll spend more time with
you.” Andrew had spent too little time at home for the past years.

Joshua had been taking care of everything and everyone at home.

Andrew was grateful for his younger brother.

He was the eldest son of the family, but he did not assume his responsibility as he should.

“Joshua, care to have a drink with me?” Andrew got up to get a bottle of wine.



“Andrew, your eyes have just healed. Can you drink?” Bonnie asked in concern.

Dolores agreed with Bonnie too, “Andrew, it’s better if you don’t drink. Your eyes just recovered after
all.”

“It’s been a long time since I had a heart-to-heart talk with Joshua. Since I have the time today, I’d love
to have a drink with him. I’m fine, really.” Andrew took the wine glasses, placing one in front of Joshua
and the other in front of him. He opened the bottle of wine and poured it into the
glasses.

“Andrew, your eyes have just healed. Can you drink?” Bonnie asked in concern.

Dolores agreed with Bonnie too, “Andrew, it’s better if you don’t drink. Your eyes just recovered after

all.
