Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 43: A very Intimate Act

Dolores hesitated before walking slowly towards him. She had never looked at him attentively at that close distance. His body exuded manly maturity, appearance, warmth, and generosity. His eyebrows, his forehead and his temples were all serene without a single disturbance. It was this exact peace and calmness that caused her heart to flutter. Perhaps she thought that he might be the father of the child inside her and that was why she was concerned about how he thought of her. Women are emotional creatures. She was even more sensitive during her pregnancy.”He helped me a lot. I didn’t know that this was the event that he wanted me to accompany him to. I definitely didn’t know that you would be present, I didn’t do it on purpose.”He frowned with a profound expression. No one could tell what he was thinking. Dolores thought that he would not believe her and regarded her as those easy women. But she wasn’t!”I…””Are you trying to explain yourself?” He asked.”I hope that you don’t misunderstand me.” In the past, she wouldn’t bother about how Matthew viewed her. But it was different now. If it was really him and they had a child together, then it was important to have a good impression on each other.”You are so sincere that I can’t hate nor can I do anything about it.” He truly became angry when he saw her appearing with Sampson. He wanted so much to pinch her to death as she had never taken his words seriously.”Go into the house.” He stood upright and walked towards the courtyard with Dolores following closely behind. Coral had already gone to rest. The living hall was spacious and empty. He undid the buttons on his business suit and said, “I’m hungry.”Dolores took over his jacket, “It’s so late already. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”He softly answered and sat on the sofa. He leaned back into the sofa and relaxed. He closed his eyes while his slim fingers undid his collar and removed his necktie. Dolores hanged up his jacket and proceeded to the kitchen to cook some noodles. She took out some vegetables, eggs, and tomatoes. She fried some eggs with tomatoes and then cooked the noodles. It was ready within a short time. In the living room, Matthew looked at the slim figure working busily in the kitchen and had a homely feeling. Dolores served the noodles to the dining table, “It’s ready.”She went to pour two glasses of water. She placed one glass of water next to Matthew and then pulled out a chair opposite him and sat down. His collar was undone revealing his sexy collar bone. His rolled- up sleeves revealed his sturdy arms. It was as if he had been pampered by his creator. Even the way ?w?.?????????e.???he held his chopsticks was a sight to behold. He lowered his head to eat the noodles and then he gently frowned because it was tasteless. Dolores couldn’t help but laughed. She took the ladle and scooped two servings of fried eggs with tomatoes onto the noodles, “You need to mix the noodles with the tomatoes and fried eggs and they’ll taste much nicer.”Matthew raised his head and saw Dolores smiling sweetly. He had never seen her smiling so happily to him. Her eyes were sparkling, crystal clear, and pure. She was mesmerizing. Dolores raised her head and saw the man looking at her and asked carefully, “Does it not suit your taste?”Matthew came to his senses and let out a soft cough. He took another mouthful and then said, “No, it’s delicious.”Dolores drank some water and looked outside the window.”Aren’t you going to bed?” Matthew looked at her.”I’ll wait till you finish eating and then wash up the dishes before going to bed. If we leave the dishes here, Coral will have to clean up in the morning.” She pinched her chin as she said. Matthew lowered his head and continued to eat the noodles. He ate as Dolores had suggested – mixing

the fried eggs with tomatoes with the noodles. Growl…Dolores blushed in red. She grabbed onto her abdomen but that couldn’t stop her abdomen from ???. n??e??H???. c??growling causing her to be terribly embarrassed. Matthew looked up at her, “Are you hungry?”Dolores felt that her face was very hot. She pinched her clothes and tilted her head, “I haven’t had my dinner but I wasn’t hungry just now.” That’s why she didn’t cook a portion for herself. She stood up, “I’ll cook some more.””I can’t finish these. I’ll give you some. Grab a bowl.” Matthew said before he realized that it was somewhat inappropriate as he had started to eat the noodles in his bowl. He continued to say, “I’ve kissed you so since we already had such intimate encounters, then eating the same bowl of noodles should be acceptable, shouldn’t it?”Dolores opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word. Should she say yes graciously? Should she say yes coolly? Was he teasing her and being a rascal about it?”I’ll cook some noodles for myself…””Do you despise me?” He raised his eyebrows and became more impersonal and yet had a playful and seductive look. Dolores’s heart skipped a beat.”I… I’ll get a bowl.” Dolores quickly went to the kitchen. Matthew grinned when he saw her flustered back view. When Dolores came back with the bowl, Matthew gave her a portion of the noodles that he hadn’t touched. Dolores lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him. She felt that this was a very intimate act. Only those couples who had been married for a long time would do this. Matthew looked at her face for a while and didn’t expect her to be so shy. He couldn’t help but laugh and grinned. After eating, Dolores washed up the dishes and Matthew went upstairs to wash up. This was the first time that they had interacted so peacefully after Dolores moved in. When Dolores woke up in the morning, Matthew also came down the staircase. Their eyes met and Dolores quickly looked away. Matthew came down and towards the dining room. Coral had already served the breakfast on the dining table and the coffee in front of Matthew. She intentionally asked, “Is it a new practice for newlywed couples to sleep in separate rooms?”Matthew was stunned and raised his eyebrows and looked towards Dolores with an inexplicable tenderness. Dolores almost spitted out the milk in her mouth when she heard what Coral said. Her cheeks become uncontrollably hot and her nose started to perspire. Her mind was blank and didn’t know how to react to it.”Coral, did you fry eggs?” Matthew reminded her. There was a burnt smell in the air. Coral yelled, “My eggs!” She turned to run into the kitchen. Her fried eggs were burnt. Matthew smiled as he looked at the white streak at the corner of her mouth. He gave her a paper napkin and said, “Coral looks after me and is very concerned about my happiness.”What Coral did was very obvious and Dolores felt extremely embarrassed by the suggestive nature of Coral’s question. She took over the napkin given by Matthew and her finger unintentionally touched him. She felt like there was an electric current that flowed into her blood towards her cheeks which caused them to boil up. She quickly retracted her hand.”I’ll… I’ll take one by myself.” Dolores reached out for one to wipe her mouth. Matthew didn’t feel awkward and took back the napkin. Dolores felt uneasy throughout breakfast due to the strange atmosphere. After finishing breakfast, she quickly left the dining room, “Please continue, I’ll ???.n????Sh???.?o?leave first.”Matthew slowly placed down his coffee cup and looked up, “Wait a minute…”??W.N???lS????.??mBelongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
