Chapter 15
Chapter 15:.
Helen tried to calm her nervousness as she replied with tears under her eyes, “She’s always close to you all the time, and if she even works for you, later on, you two will only get closer to each other. I’m so afraid that you have feelings for her.”
Since there was no longer any point in hiding the truth, she decided to come clean to clear Matthew’s doubts. She was doing it because she was afraid of losing him.
She blinked her huge watery eyes, “You’ve known me for a long time. You know very well how much I like you…”
Helen stammered slightly as she held back tears and continued, “I dread the day I lose you, that’s why…that’s why I decided to meddle in the hiring process.”
Matthew frowned and replied, “I already told you we’re getting divorced in a month.”
Helen had it perfectly clear. If it weren’t for the fact that Dolores was that woman that night, she was willing to wait as long as it took. She had waited all those years anyway, so a month was nothing. However, she felt her patience was wearing thin.
She couldn’t let Dolores get too close to Matthew. She didn’t want that to happen.

“Dolores, this is for table number two. Go serve them.”
Dolores responded, but felt a nagging pain in her lower abdomen area. She didn’t know if this was due to the fact that she hadn’t slept well the night before and the fact that she had been on her feet at work for a long time.
She carried the tray of food and headed for table number two, but before she reached it, she caught a glimpse of Helen, sitting across from her.
She didn’t have to rack her brains to identify the man.
She paused for a moment, but was able to regain her composure in the next second. This was her job, so she couldn’t avoid facing them.
With a polite smile on his face, he announced, “Your food is here.”
As she placed one of the plates in front of Matthew, he suddenly grabbed her by the wrist, “What the hell are you doing here?”
His tone was demanding and cold.
His gaze lingered on her attire. Wearing a white shirt, a black vest and a short skirt, her long legs were exposed under the skirt.
She stared at her legs for a few seconds and her expression grew darker.
What kind of attire was this, to whom was she showing her body?
She was a married woman now, why did she have to come here to work?
Dolores maintained a formal smile and replied, “I’m working now.”
Matthew furrowed his eyebrows slightly, they had taken on an angry tone. She had been asking for the money from the translation job the night before, and now she was even accepting this kind of work. Was the Flores Family really that desperate?
“Can you let go of my hand, please?” Dolores didn’t think much of her situation at the moment. She was just making money for herself.
Helen took Matthew’s hand and said, “Matthew, people are looking in our direction. Let’s take this matter outside.”
No one knew about Matthew and Dolores’ secret marriage. Helen did not want Matthew to accidentally reveal this fact to the public.
Matthew stared at Dolores for some time, and finally was able to suppress his anger. He let go of her hand, “I don’t want to see you working here.”
Dolores could only concentrate on the nagging pain that plagued her belly every moment. Beads of cold sweat were already forming a layer on her forehead. She wanted to argue, but her physical state would not allow it. He could only pick up the tray and leave.noveldrama
She left the tray and went into the bathroom. This sudden attack of pain frightened her very much. Luckily, there was no trace of blood anywhere.
After leaving the cubicle, she stood by the sink and spoke to her stomach as she stroked it, “Be obedient, my baby.”
He needed to earn money to take care of his mother and the new life in his stomach.
At the same time, Helen entered the bathroom and casually overheard Dolores talking to herself. Her gaze was fixed on Dolores’ belly, and all the colors had drained from her face.
Dolores noticed the change in his expression and hastened to explain, “This baby is not Matthew’s, so you don’t have to wear such a horrible expression.”
Then Dolores lifted his spirits as he whirled toward her, wanting to get out of the bathroom.
“Is your baby two months old yet?” Helen turned around and asked.
Dolores stopped in her tracks and turned as well, “How did you know?”
“I can make a guess based on your bulging stomach,” Helen replied haltingly.
Dolores was pregnant all along? And to top it off, that baby might as well be Matthew’s.
Predictably, she couldn’t let Dolores stay by Matthew’s side!
Suddenly, Helen had the urge to completely annihilate this woman from Matthew’s life.
Dolores came out of the bathroom, but was immediately dragged out of the restaurant by Matthew.
She was already suffering from discomfort and after being pulled by him in this way, she felt intense pain returning to her body.
“Let me go!” She wanted to resist, but her voice lacked strength.
Matthew dragged her to the edge of the road and by then only loosened his grip. He warned with a deadly serious look, “If you need money, just tell me. You don’t need to act pitiful in front of me.”
I couldn’t accept that the Flores Family had degraded to that extent. A few days ago, he had just seen Randolph taking his family to splurge in a luxury goods store. On the other hand, she saw Dolores working as a waitress in a restaurant.
Dolores clung to the advertising pole that stood next to the road for support. Otherwise, she would lose her balance. She tried to reassure herself, “Mr. Nelson, we’re just a couple in agreement. This is all business. You don’t have to get so mad about everything I’ve decided to do.”
“If you know very well that you are my wife, do you know that you are embarrassing me by doing this kind of work?” Matthew could not understand this woman at all. He couldn’t see through the motives behind her actions.
Dolores pressed her lips tightly together, trying to bear the pain.
Just as she was on the verge of collapse, Sampson approached them,
“Lola, I came looking for you, but I didn’t expect you to actually be here, aren’t you feeling well now?”.
As a psychologist, he was well acquainted with the workings of the human body. Although Dolores tried to conceal her discomfort, it did not go unnoticed in Sampson’s eyes.
Since their separation that day, he had gone to look for Jessica and subsequently learned the truth about Dolores’ baby.
He didn’t know how to describe the feelings in his heart. It certainly wasn’t pleasant, to say the least.
Why didn’t she seek help from him if she was so overwhelmed with problems?
She wanted to seek it, but didn’t know where it was lodged. Therefore, she tried her luck at the place where they had met last time, and unexpectedly she was able to run into her.
Dolores couldn’t worry about anything else at that moment. The pain in her lower abdomen was too much. She grabbed onto Sampson’s arm and pleaded, “Please take me to the hospital now.”
Sampson glanced down at her stomach and just as he was about to carry her, a huge force suddenly landed on her shoulders. He turned and saw Matthew’s shadowed face, “It’s my wife.” His tone wasn’t particularly strong, but it was intimidating.
It was as if he was giving warnings. This woman was his wife, AND no one was to touch her!
Sampson revealed a smile, one that seemed sarcastic, “You’re husband and wife?”
Before Matthew could respond, he added, “You guys are doing this according to an agreement. You would never marry a woman who is already pregnant.”
Suddenly, Matthew asked menacingly with narrowed eyes, “Does that baby belong to you?”
