Matthew lifted his gaze and looked at the woman who was eating her meal at the table. He frowned deeply not because Randolph had died but because he believed that Jessica was directly related to Randolph’s death.

From the moment she had decided to restore her marriage with Randolph, Matthew felt that something was amiss. Just as he expected, Randolph died when New Year was not even over yet.

He walked to the front to the window. When he was sure that Dolores couldn’t hear him, he said, “Where did he die?”

“In his house. I am currently there. When I heard of the news, I was also shocked. He just died for no reason. Neither he had any terminal illnesses, nor he was struck by any disasters. Could it be divine retribution for his crimes?” Boyce said.

Matthew didn’t believe in superstitions.

This was a materialistic world.

“I will go there now.” If Dolores wasn’t related to this, he would definitely not interfere with this matter. He would not interfere with this matter even if Randolph was involved. He feared that Jessica was related to it.

Dolores and Jessica had depended on each other for many years and had a close relationship. Although Jessica had gone against Dolores’s wishes and restored her marriage with Randolph, he could see that Dolores cared a lot about Jessica.

Things would be fine if she was not involved in this matter. But if…

He ended the call and entered the restaurant. Dolores was looking down, so she didn’t notice him.

A strand of Dolores’s hair got in her face. Matthew who was behind her tucked her hair behind her ear and said softly, “I am going out. I have things to do.”

Dolores acknowledged his words.

“There is nobody in the house today. Go upstairs and nap for a while after you have finished your meal,” he spoke gently.

Dolores nodded and asked, “Are you going to the company?”

Matthew hesitated for a while and lied, “Armand and Boyce have organized a gathering and have asked me to join them.”

“Ok. Don’t drink. Alcohol is bad for you,” she said out of concern.

Matthew was taken aback. Immediately, his eyes showed happiness. His heart felt the warmth of her words. He knew that he had many habits, but he never cared about his health. He kissed her forehead, “Wait for me obediently.”
