Chapter 534 Unable To Avoid


    “Do you want me to courier this package to the office or will youe over to pick it up?” Theresa


    asked. Even Theresa did not know why he wanted Armand toe to take the two kids. She also did


    not know that he had gone to White City.


    “What is it?” Matthew looked outside the window. Based on the location that Mr. Forbis sent, it did not


    seem that there were any hospitals in that area.


    “It’s a parcel for Dolores but there is no sender information. Ms. Flores saw it and asked me to give it to


    you. I don’t know what the package contains.” She quickly added, “Since you asked Armand to take the


    kids away, she had be somewhat cautious.”


    Matthew knew that she would be apprehensive as soon as Armand went to her home. Boyce had


    messaged him that Jeffery’s case would be determined in theing days. So he expected that


    Jeffery’s case would be determined once he returned from White City.


    “Leave it with you. I’ll get it from you when I get back.” He came to White City to visit Jayden and would


    be back thereafter. He was not at B city and there was no point in sending the package to his office.


    “Okay then. Contact me when you’re back.”


    “Is there a hospital around here?” Armand was driving the car, nced rearwards, and said, “This ce


    looks familiar.”


    Theresa heard Armand’s voice, said goodbye, and ended the call.


    Matthew kept his phone and he noticed that this ce looked like the ce where Dolores learned


    from Mr. Forbis how to create the Gambiered Canton Gauze.


    “Just head towards the address.” He started to worry that Jayden was not at the hospital.


    They drove along some dirt road for a while beforeing to a sprawling courtyard with a grand


    mansion.


    “What is this ce?” Asked Armand curiously.


    “This is Granny’s ce,” Andrew said. He knew as Dolores once brought him and his sister here.


    Armand looked at him and then towards Matthew. It was obvious that Andrew meant Victoria. So this


    was the Forbis residence?


    Matthew suppressed his reactions and did not appear to be surprised by this. The car stopped and he


    opened the door. The kids were delighted to return to this ce and jumped out of the car.


    “Is Grandpa here?” Amanda asked.


    “Most likely.” If Jayden was at White City, then he would most probably be at the Forbis residence.


    At this moment, Mr. Forbis walked out of the mansion and immediately quicken his pace when he saw


    the two kids and said, “Wow, you two are here too!”


    “We’re here to see grandpa!” The two kids said in unison.


    “Great, great.” Mr. Forbis said happily. Mr. Forbis was overjoyed now that the facts are revealed and


    Matthew personally brought the kids to the Forbis residence. Mr. Forbis looked at Matthew and noticed


    that Matthew did not seem to share his sentiments and maintained an indifferent expression. He was


    rather disappointed but continued to smile when he looked at the kids and remarked, “Let’s all go into


    the house.”


    Armand was impressed when he entered the courtyard of the mansion. He could see from the


    architecture of the house that the Forbis family had a high social status in the past. Additionally, the


    house was very well maintained considering its age.


    “Wow, my goose swing is still here.” Amanda released her father’s hand and ran towards the swing


    which was under the tree.


    Matthew looked at Amanda and wondered that Dolores must have made the excuse toe over here


    and stayed here. That was why she managed to know all the secrets.


    “Your father is in that room. He is waiting for you inside. He wanted to see you and was worried that


    you wouldn’te. So he asked me to inform you that he was sick and was hospitalized.” Mr. Forbis


    exined.


    Matthew had guessed the same because he did not notice any hospitals on the way here. He said to


    Armand, “Armand, please look after them.”


    “Rest assured. I’m here.” Mr. Forbis quickly said. He had the responsibility to take care of the guests.


    However, Matthew trusted Armand more to look after the kids.


    Armand nodded and replied, “Go ahead.”


    Mr. Forbis was disappointed and sighed. Armand quickly added, “That’s him, don’t take it to heart.”


    “Have a seat.” Mr. Forbis pointed to the chair under the tree. Mr. Forbis served Armand a cup of water


    and said, “You must be tired after the trip.”


    Armand smiled and nodded.


    Matthew entered the room. The room was decorated with a feminine ir. Jayden sat next to the


    window in a rocking chair and faced outside. He had a nket over his legs and his hair was white as


    snow. The wrinkles on his face revealed his struggles through the years.


    “You’re here.” Jayden did not turn around. Matthew did not answer but continued to walk towards him.


    Jayden must have something to tell Matthew for asking him to go over. He was willing to hear what he


    had to say.


    Matthew stopped at the window and looked outside at the nearby forest. The forest was lush and green


    at this time of the year.


    “You should know where this ce is.” Jayden still had his eyes closed as he exhaled a long breath


    and said, “I have a lot of regrets in this life. I hope that you do not follow my footsteps and regret after


    you lose it.” He had pondered about what he had done and although he did not harm anyone, many


    things happened because he was not decisive enough.


    He had already known that Jolene loved someone else and if he had rejected that marriage, then many


    things would not have happened.


    “She married me because of you. Although it looked like we were a loving couple all through these


    twenty over years, I never knew if she ever loved me.”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She was in love with Nathan and they were each other’s first love. Nathan never married and their love


    for each other never ended distinctly. Because he knew that Jolene still had feelings for Nathan, there


    was a wedge in their marriage through the years. Thus, even when he realized that he had feelings for


    Victoria, he never expressed his feelings for her. He only started to regret it after she left.


    Jayden hoped that his son would not do anything that he would regret because of the previous


    generation’s baggage. He said with a heavy heart, “I think that based on her love for you, she would


    want you to be happy. She would not harm someone she loved because of revenge. You are an adult


    and should know clearly how you feel.”


    “I once thought about stopping you and force you to marry Ms. Herbert. That would stop the truth from


    suppressed. Perhaps that’s fate.”
