Chapter 20: There Was No Love in the World​

Dolores stopped, turned around, and saw Matthew walked towards her after letting go of Helen out of his hug. Matthew walked slowly with a cold expression, “Apologize to Helen!”


Dolores didn’t move, but looking back at him stubbornly. “I will not apologize to her!”


Even though at this moment, she was afraid of him, she would never apologize to her for something she didn’t do. She didn’t do anything wrong. Helen pushed her first. She just self-protected herself and reacted instinctively! Why should she apologize?


Matthew stared at Dolores’ face and frowned. He realized that he never looked at her carefully, even when he lost his reason and kissed her. She was relatively thin, with a small face that was as large as her palm. She looked very delicate and pure, and at this moment, her eyes are staring at him stubbornly and firmly.


Dolores and Matthew stared at each other and none of them gave in. “If you pushed her, you have to apologize!” His tone was still cold, but less harsh. It seemed that he got shocked by her firm expression.


“Matthew, I’m okay, it’s because I’m not being careful. It’s not Ms. Flores’ fault.” Helen hurried over to interrupt the confrontation between Dolores and Matthew.


Helen held Matthew and said, “Matthew.”


She shook her head at Matthew, with red eyes, looking innocent and wronged, “Matthew, I just couldn’t standstill. Maybe it’s because the heels I wear are too high. It really has nothing to do with Ms. Flores.” She tried her best to defend Dolores.


Matthew looked down at Helen’s high heels, which were indeed was so high. But he saw Dolores pushed Helen himself. What was going on?


“Matthew, I might have twisted my foot just now, it hurts.” Helen’s beautiful face wrinkled, which looked so cute.


Matthew stretched out his hand to put her messy hair behind her ears.


Matthew couldn’t help thinking that Helen was the one always being at his side without asking for anything in return, without making any trouble. When he was poisoned and needed a woman, she sacrificed herself without hesitation. Even after they had sex, she still didn’t ask for marriage. Instead, she still stayed quietly by his side. It was also at that moment, Matthew wanted to marry her. He didn’t love her. He had never loved any woman. He didn’t believe in love. His father married another woman after his mother died within one month. There was no love in the world. Love was a ridiculous illusion.


“Are you stupid?” He asked Helen.


Helen slightly snuggled into his arms, “As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything. I don’t think I’m stupid, I just feel very happy.”




Dolores didn’t want to look at them. She turned and walked towards the gate.


Looking at Dolores’ back, Helen smiled secretly. Helen was thinking, Dolores would never have the chance to be with Matthew alone anymore after what happened.


Helen didn’t know that Matthew saw her expression. Matthew didn’t say anything, but turned and entered the room.


Helen walked quickly to follow, “Matthew……”


Matthew turned his head and glanced at her lightly. He looked at her high heels and said meaningfully, “Don’t wear shoes that are too high in the future. What if you really fall?”


After speaking, he walked towards the study, and when he reached the door, he stopped, “I am busy today. You can leave now.”


Before Helen could react, the door of the study was closed.


Helen stood there, looking down at the high heels on her feet. What did Matthew mean? Did he care about her? But it seemed that Matthew meant something else.


Helen stepped forward and wanted to knock on the door, but Coral stopped her, “Didn’t the young master tell you to go back?”


Helen knew that Coral didn’t like her.


She tried hard to please Coral, but it didn’t work.


Coral was not an ordinary maid, but the one who took care of Matthew since he was young. Matthew respected her a lot.


“Matthew, I just think that he seems to be in a bad mood. I want to accompany him more…”






“Ms. Flores would accompany him if needed. Ms. White, please don’t bother to come in the future, lest people would say that you are a mistress, which would harm Ms. White’s reputation.”


Coral didn’t like Helen even before Matthew married Dolores.


Now Matthew had already married Dolores, if Helen still came a lot and tried to get close to Matthew, she would be considered as mistress in Coral’s eyes.


No one liked mistress, especially old people like Coral.


“Matthew loves me. Marrying Dolores is not what he wants. You are the one who took care of him when he grows up. Don’t you want him to be happy?” Helen tried her best not to shout at Coral. Coral was just a maid. How dared she was to tell her what to do!


“I think Madam had her reason to arrange the marriage for the young master at that time. The young master is already married. Is Ms. White going to get involved in other people’s marriages and be a mistress?”


Even though what Coral said was harsh, she still showed good courtesy. She stepped forward and made a please gesture, “Ms. White, please.”


Helen clenched her hands tightly at the sides. She was trembling with anger, but she couldn’t do anything but leave.


Coral immediately closed the door once Helen walked out.


Helen’s body was frozen out of surprise. She slowly turned around and looked at the closed door, her expression changed. She got so angry that couldn’t even control her expression anymore.


At the same time, Matthew stood in front of the window, looking at the expression that Helen had never shown in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly.






“Master, is Ms. Flores coming back for lunch?” Dolores didn’t come back last night and left as soon as she came back today. Coral didn’t like it very much. Coral thought that Dolores already married Matthew, became a wife, then Dolores should act like one. What was more, it was not good that Dolores didn’t stay at home at night, especially which they just got married.


Matthew thought about her entering the hospital before, and turned his head, “She is not well, lunch…”


Matthew didn’t know whether she would be back at noon.


Now he realized that he didn’t even have her phone number.


Coral sighed. What happened to the people these days? Couples were like strangers. They didn’t sleep together, nor know anything about each other after getting married.


“I don’t know why Madam decided to set up this marriage for you in the first place.” Coral sighed.


Since Madam’s death, Matthew moved out and rarely went back.


Coral thought that Madam must have her reason to set up the marriage for Matthew.


But now she got more and more confused.


Matthew’s expression got serious suddenly, he said, “I’ll look for her.”


Coral, “…”


Coral became even more melancholy. Matthew and Dolores were not like a couple, more like strangers.


Matthew picked up the jacket on the back of the sofa, put it on, and went out with the car key.


On the way to the hospital in the car, Matthew thought of something and gave Abbott a call.


“The contract for the land in Repulse Bay, please tidy it up and send it to me.”
