Chapter 180: You Ungrateful Little Thing


    “I’m sleepy.” Simona’s hands grabbed Matthew’s cor tightly. She wanted to sleep but couldn’t


    because of the unknown ce.


    Her body kept rubbing in his arms.


    Matthew held his daughter more tightly, stroking her back with his big palms. He coaxed her extremely


    patiently, “Good girl. Let me hold you to sleep.”


    Simona pressed her little face on his chest, feeling that Daddy’s embrace was truly warm. She could


    feel how strong her father was under the clothes as well as his temperature, “Daddy, will you dump


    Mommy and us again in the future? I don’t want to part from you. I want you to live with Mommy,


    Samuel, and me together, just like other kids’ families. They have father, mother, and grandparents...”


    The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. In the end, he could hardly hear her.


    Matthew lowered his head. The little girl had hidden her face in his armspletely. The corner of her


    eyes that exposed was with tears.


    “When I saw other kids in their fathers’ arms or be pushed on the swing, I envied them so much...”


    Since she was born, there were only Mommy, Samuel, and Grandpa in her world. There was no father


    figure in her life.


    After meeting Matthew, she liked him and was clingy to him because she was afraid that he would


    dump her again.


    Then she would be a girl without her father again.


    Matthew sat back a bit and held her little face with his hands. Probably itcked air in his embrace, or


    probably it was because of the grievance that she had experienced, her eyes were reddened. Tears


    were hanging on her long eyshes. He bent over the kiss away the tears from his daughter’s eyes


    and said hoarsely, “No. I’ll never leave you again in the future.”


    His lips were warm and soft. The little girl closed her eyes by instinct. Her father’s breath was so close


    to her. He was holding her and kissing her, and she felt extremely happy.


    It was quite easy for her to get satisfied. Just one kiss had melted her heart.


    However, she didn’t know that her words also brought uneasiness to the man.


    At that time, Dolores was pregnant. He knew that it was him who pushed her away so that they had


    parted from each other for so many years.


    He wondered what he could do to make it up for the mother and the kids.


    “Boy, why don’t you move back?” The caravan was quite big. A sofa was ced behind the driver’s


    seat. Boyce was studying the routes while half lying down. Samuel was sitting next to him, lying prone


    on the window, and looked out. Upon hearing Boyce’s voice, he didn’t look back, “I’m not sleepy. I don’t


    want.”


    Simona had been clingy to Matthew. He didn’t want to look at the scene, which would make him


    ufortable.


    If Matthew truly loved them, why would he have dumped Mommy in the past?


    He wondered why Matthew suddenly looked so regretful.

    “Uncle Boyce, what kind of man is he?” Samuel had conflicted feelings towards Matthew. He wanted to


    get close to Matthew, but he couldn’t let go of the fact that Matthew had dumped Dolores before.


    Boyce was a bit taken aback. He sat up, “Whom do you refer to?”


    Samuel pointed behind his back. Boyce understood whom he was asking about. He hooked Samuel’s


    neck and pulled the boy into his arms, “Boy, that’s your father. Why do you call him ‘he’?”


    “Why should I call someone who has dumped me ‘father’?” Samuel raised his head, looking quite


    proud. In fact, he envied Simona a lot as she could call him “Daddy” so easily.


    However, he found it quite difficult.


    He was still angry that Matthew had abandoned them before. Matthew hadn’t abandoned Simona and


    him but also had dumped his mother, which he wouldn’t forgive so easily, although Matthew seemed


    quite good now.


    Boyce looked at the little boy and could tell that he had a knot in his heart towards Matthew.


    He rubbed the boy’s hair and said, “Your father shouldn’t have known that your mommy was pregnant


    at that time. Upon his character, even he didn’t like her, for responsibility, he wouldn’t have divorced.”


    What Samuel cared about was not if Matthew would take the responsibilities. Instead, it mattered more


    that Matthew didn’t like his mother. He wondered if Matthew had married Mommy even he didn’t like


    her.


    If he didn’t like her, why would he have married her?


    Was there something wrong with him?


    “In that case, didn’t he drag my mommy into an unhappy marriage?” Samuel asked with a frown.


    If it were for him, Mommy could have found someone who loved her, couldn’t she?


    Boyce rubbed his little nose, “Boy, what are you thinking about? Don’t worry about the adults’ matters.


    You’ll get aged before your time.”


    Samuel curled his lips, “Uncle Boyce, you’ll be the one who gets aged first.” He counted with his


    fingers, “After twenty years, you will be an old man. At that time, I’ll still be a young man.”


    He ran away from him after finishing his words.


    “Hey, you brat!” Boyce was helpless, “Slow down. I’m not going to catch you. Your father is quite


    protective to you guys.”


    Until now, Boyce was still upset that Matthew didn’t allow him to touch Simona.


    The more he thought about it, the angrier Boyce got.


    What a petty man!


    That was only his daughter, wasn’t it?


    Boyce believed that he could have a daughter in the future as well.


    However, he had to admit that Dolores was quite capable. She gave birth to twins of different genders,


    who hadpletely inherited the advantages of their parents - their son was smart and their daughter


    was cute. Boyce believed that he would also be overjoyed if he had such two kids.


    The only problem was that he wasn’t so lucky as Matthew.


    “s...” Boyce heaved a sigh, leaning against the back of the sofa. When he was about to pick up the


    cell phone and continue to study the routes, Matthew came out from the inside. Boyce bounced up,


    “Where is your daughter?”


    In fact, he meant why Matthew was willing toe out alone.


    Shouldn’t he be staying inside to apany his daughter?


    “She’s sleeping.” He took over Boyce’s phone and looked through the nned routes. He asked, “Is


    this the only pathway?”


    “Not really. However, ording to my judgment, he would take the most remote ones to hide from our


    search, which couldn’t be found easily because there was no surveince. The shortage is those


    pathways might be quite bumpy, so he couldn’t drive too fast.”


    “Send two men to explore ahead on the pathways.” Matthew wanted to see if they could find any


    traces. Since his children were with him now, he couldn’t leave them. Otherwise, he would do it on his


    own.


    “Sure,” Boyce said, “I’ve sent my men over there.” As he spoke, he cast a nce towards the inside.


    Then he approached Matthew, “I can tell the little boy has the knot in his heart towards you.”


    Matthew certainly knew the fact.


    He knew it very well.


    “He’s ming for divorcing Dolores.” Matthew looked down. He looked as if he was staring at the


    phone, but his thoughts were not on it.


    Boyce looked at him ambiguously, “You didn’t like her at that time, did you? How could she get


    pregnant?”


    Back then, Matthew wasn’t happy about the marriage, which Boyce and Armand both knew. If it weren’t


    appointed by his birth mother, he wouldn’t have married Dolores.


    Since he didn’t love or like her and Maria was with him at that time, Boyce wondered how Matthew


    made Dolores pregnant.


    Matthew cast an indifferent nce at him, “Stop being so nosy.”


    For this matter, he didn’t want to talk about it with anyone as long as he knew what had happened


    exactly.


    It was not worth telling everyone.


    Otherwise, they would know that Dolores had got pregnant before marrying him.


    Boyce knew him very well. Since Matthew wasn’t willing to talk about it, nobody could make him talk.


    Hence, Boyce picked up his phone and continued to study the routes, trying to find a better route that


    was a short distance and not so bumpy.


    Inside thepartment, Samuel was lying on the bed, tossing about. He wasn’t sleepy at all. With a


    hand supporting his head, he looked at Simona, who was sleeping soundly. He reached and pinched


    her nose gently, “You ungrateful little thing. How can you call him Daddy so fast?”


    Simona felt her nose tickling. She twisted and tilted her head to continue sleeping.


    Samuel felt quite bored. He turned around andy on the bed facing up. Staring at themp, he


    muttered, “When can we find Mommy?”


    Suddenly, the telephone watch on his wrist started ringing. He raised his hand and looked at the


    unknown number on the screen. He didn’t know this number before, wondering if the call was from


    Mommy.


    At the thought of it, he immediately pressed the button to answer.


    He put the watch next to his mouth and called, “Mommy?”


    A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line...
