Chapter 76: He Had Hidden the Truth Back Then
The phone call had been ended, yet Dolores was frozen to the ground by the window with the phone
clenched in her hand. She was still looking out of the window and it was still so dark that she couldn’t
see anything.
“Mommy.” Samuel called her.
Dolores turned around. When seeing his handsome face, she smiled, “What are you calling me for?”
Samuel put down his tablet PC, ran over, hugged her legs and started acting cutely, “Mommy, Simona
has fallen asleep. Can you help me take a bath today?” Dolores pinched his cheeks and agreed in a
pampering sound, “Okay.”
Samuel smiled broadly and grabbed Dolores’ cloth, feeling a bit excited inside. Since his clingy sister
was not going to compete with him, he could finally stay alone with his mother together.
If Simona was still awake, she would cling to Dolores, and in this way he would not have any time to
stay with his mother alone.
Dolores turned on the lights of the bathroom as well as the tap. And the bathtub was soon filled with hot
water.
Samuel had already taken off his clothes and was now completely naked. “The water is prepared…”
When Dolores turned around, she found Samuel had undressed himself as she glanced over his fair
and clear body.
Samuel noticed her gaze and was rendered speechless. He quickly covered the place between his legs
and flushed, “Mommy.”
Dolores teased him deliberately, “Oh, my son feels shy?”
Samuel flushed even more with his head lowered.
He was really embarrassed at the moment.
Dolores stopped teasing him and walked over to carry him into the bathtub. Samuel hided himself into
the water with only his head exposed. Then Dolores squeezed out some shampoo and gently kneaded
his hair.
Samuel was quite well-behaved. He squatted in the water quietly and let Dolores help him wash his
hair. Looking at the gentle Dolores, he called, “Mommy.”
“What’s the matter?”
Samuel didn’t reply and just smiled.
He made up his mind in heart that he would find a good man who could take good care of his mother in
the future.
Dolores deliberately put some foams on his nose, thinking that he was acting naughtily just now as he
deliberately called her but refused to tell her the matter. But she didn’t know that her son had made up
his mind that he would find a good man for her.
Nonetheless, it was not that easy to find a good man.
On the last day of July, Dolores went back to China with the two children.
As everything in China had been arranged, she just needed to carry luggage like a small quantity of
clothes as well as the children.
Unlike Simona who never concealed her delight or bad mood and got very excited after learning that
they were going to take a plane, Samuel remained unperturbed. This was the second time for Simona
to take a plane and she had once taken a plane at the age of three. Nevertheless, she didn’t remember
it.
The little girl was curious about everything and kept groping here and there with her hands.
Dolores could do nothing about it and could only let her play in her embrace. Fortunately, the ones
sitting by her sides were Jessica and Samuel, so they didn’t bother the other passengers.
“Mommy, I want juice.” Seeing the airline stewardess serving a passenger juice, Simona reached out
her hand.
She was in a baby blue dress today and wore her black hair in pigtails. Her skin was tender and fair
and her clear bright seemed to be able to speak.
“What kind of juice do you want?” The airline stewardess stooped to look at the cute girl and asked in a
gentle voice.
Simona blinked her eyes and then pointed at the glass with green juice in it.
“This is kiwifruit juice. It will taste a bit sour.” The stewardess introduced the juice to her.
Simona seemed not to detest the sour taste and nodded.
The stewardess handed the kiwifruit juice to her. Probably it was because Simona looked so cute, she
asked, “Little girl, what’s your name?”
Simona cracked a smile, baring her white teeth, “My name is Simona Flores. And my Mommy and
grandma all call me Simona.”
“What a good name.” The stewardess praised.
Dolores stroked Simona’s hair.
“Your daughter is so pretty.” The stewardess said with a smile.
“Thank you.” Dolores nodded at her politely.
Samuel shot a glance at his sister and then turned his head to look out of the window. It seemed like he Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
didn’t like the stewardess’ accosting at all.
Not long after the stewardess had left with the cart, the captain’s voice sounded, “Ladies and
gentlemen, we will arrive in B City of China. Please get prepared. The plane will land at DH
International Airport in ten minutes.”
The plane landed at the airport after ten minutes. Dolores carried Simona who was sleeping in her
embrace and Jessica held Samuel’s hand. As soon as Samuel got off the plane, he looked around and
studied the surroundings.
‘So this was the place in which Mommy was born.’ He thought to himself.
“I’ll go take the luggage.” Jessica put down Samuel’s hand and said, “Wait for me with you Mommy at
the exit.”
“All right.” Actually, they didn’t need to worry about Samuel as he was very thoughtful.
“Lola.” Samson was walking towards them with Theresa by his side.
They came together to pick up Dolores.
Sampson didn’t come back to Country A due to the cancellation of Maria’s engagement ceremony and
stayed in China to take care of his younger sister who had been in a gloomy mood.
When he called Dolores back then, he learned that she was going to come back.
Therefore, he came to pick her up together with Theresa today.
“Are you tired? I can carry her.” Sampson reached out, intending to take the child from her embrace.
Dolores shook her head, “No need. I’m not tired. Let’s go.”
Sampson fixed his eyes on Dolores for two seconds before withdrawing his hand. He hadn’t showed a
smile after learning that Dolores was going to come back to China.
She had been staying in Country A for a long time and had never said she wanted to come back. She
was actually unwilling to come back at that time.
Nevertheless, after having encountered Matthew, she decided to come back to the country.
She said she hated that man, but her behavior showed that she didn’t hate him that much.
And Matthew also cancelled his engagement with Maria.
He believed that the two things must have some relations.
He was afraid of something at the same time.
As Sampson was immersed in his thoughts, he uncontrollably casted his gaze on the two children and
his hands that were put beside his thighs were clenched tightly.
If Dolores learned that he had hidden the truth back then, would she hate him?
Witnessing the two children growing up little by little, he felt more and more ambivalent and guilty.
The two children were so cute that everyone would like them.
If he didn’t tell the lie back then, Matthew might have accepted Dolores for the sake of the children.
Judging from Matthew’s actions recently, he definitely would have accepted Dolores because he
cancelled the engagement ceremony after encountering Dolores.
It was evident that he had some feelings for Dolores.
If he hadn’t hidden the truth back then, the children would have a complete family.
“Sampson, what are you thinking?” Samuel lifted his head to look at Sampson who was lost in his
thoughts and reached out to tug his cloth.
Sampson was pulled back to reality and hastily replied, “Nothing. I didn’t think of anything.”
He looked down at Samuel and reached out to hold up his hand, saying, “Let’s go.”
Samuel took back his hand, “I can walk by myself.”
He didn’t detest Sampson, but didn’t like him either.
Sampson felt a bit awkward and rubbed his fingers.
“Samuel Flores.” Dolores noticed his behavior and called his name, “Don’t be impolite. Sampson is
being concerned about you.”
Samuel looked down onto the ground, “I see.”
It was just that he didn’t like his hand being held by Sampson.
“All right. It’s not a proper time to talk here. Let’s leave first.” Sampson walked over and took the
luggage cases from Jessica.
Jessica asked with a bright smile, “How are you doing?”
“Quite well.”
Jessica had a good impression of Sampson.
They walked out of the airport with Sampson pulling the luggage cases. Dolores got into Sampson’s
car, while Jessica and Samuel got into Theresa’s car and followed behind.
Sampson studied Dolores from the rear-view mirror – she was staring at her daughter who was in
sound asleep and looked very gentle.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, intending to say something to her. But he didn’t say out a
word in the end.
Theresa had arranged a residence for Dolores. It was closed to the store so it was convenient for
Dolores to commute.
They pulled the luggage into the house after arriving at the residence and Dolores said he had booked
a restaurant to celebrate Dolores’ coming back as the furniture and kitchen supplies were all new and
they couldn’t cook at home.
Before Dolores could say anything, Jessica had agreed with it on behalf of her.
Therefore, Dolores could not say ‘no’.
They put down the luggage and drove to the restaurant that Sampson had booked.
Sampson booked a big private room in the restaurant. The table was also so big that there were still
some seats after the six of them take seats.
“I’ll go to the toilet.” Samuel slid down the chair.
“I’ll go with you.” Jessica worried that Samuel might not be able to find the way.
“No need. I know how to get there.” Samuel waved his hand and walked out alone.
He asked a waiter and soon found the toilet.
After getting into the toilet, he found that there was no children’s exclusive urinal and those urinals for
adults were too high for him.
He furrowed his brows and looked extremely troubled.
“Hey boy.” A teasing sound rumbled from behind Samuel.
