Snare of Love
Chapter 105: No Turning Back

Soon a message came and it was from Abbott. He lowered his head to look at the phone.

Message: KS Club did not have a security camera in the room for customers' privacy. Only the corridors were fitted with cameras. These photos were about Ms. Flores. Message: Maria came here before last night.

What Abbott said was veiled but it was clear to Matthew that what happened to Delores had something to do with Maria. In other words, what happened to Dolores was plotted by her. Dolores knew that Maria harbored ill intentions against her and she should be wary of her so as not to fall into her trap.

He clicked on the video with a heavy heart.

The thumbnail of the video appeared quickly. Dolores was stumbling and running along the corridor. She was flustered and panicky.

"Lola..."

Very soon he saw who was running after her. Sampson!

His expression changed and his gaze turned cold and he muttered, "You're something!" You brother and sister were so daring! They collaborated to harm her.

Samuel was terrified as he thought that Matthew was referring to him. He was clearly terrified but he wanted to pretend that he was fearless. As soon as he spoke, he betrayed his own emotions and stammered, "Don't, don't, don't think that I'm afraid of you!"

Matthew glared at him, "Boy, your mommy had been bullied. Do you want to seek revenge?"

Samuel blinked, someone bullied mommy? Apart from him, who else would bully his mommy?

"Do you think that I'm a three year old kid? I won't be fooled." Samuel continued to raise his head proudly.

He was five years old. He was two years older than a three year old kid and could not be easily fooled.

"Come over." Matthew signaled to him.

Samuel stood still, looked at him cautiously, and remained silent.

Matthew narrowed his eyes. How did Dolores teach this child? He was still young and so suspicious of others.

"I won't lie to you." He clicked on the video and showed Samuel, "See for yourself."

Dolores could be seen as soon as the video was opened. Samuel looked at the video with his eyes wide open. Mommy... When he watched the video to the end, he fumed and clenched his fists tightly. Who bullied his mommy? Very soon he saw who the person was and his eyes glared even wider that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Matthew kept his phone but Samuel reached forward to grab it. Matthew raised his hand so that Samuel couldn't reach it even though he tiptoed.

He looked down at the boy, "How? Do you want to go with me to revenge your mother?"

Samuel fumed angrily as he stared at Matthew.

"Think carefully. You are a kid and even if you want to seek revenge, you don't have the abilities." Matthew kept his phone and opened the car door. He seemed to have thought of something and looked back a him and said, "Oh yes, your mother was truly with me last night and we slept on the same bed. She even said that she wants to have breakfast with me."

Samuel was on the verge of breaking down and almost cried. Had mommy gone mad? Didn't she know not to go back to him?

"Last night I saved your mommy." Matthew decided to stop agitating him.

Samuel felt better after hearing this. So mommy wasn't insane after all.

"You, you said that you will revenge my mother. Is it true?" He glared his eyes and looked at Matthew.

Matthew calmly looked at him for a couple of seconds, "Really, but..."

He squatted down to look at Samuel in the eyes. Samuel behaved himself like never before and quietly looked at him. His hand moved but he was very worked up as Matthew was his father. How nice if he had not abandoned them. They could have lived together as a family. He and her sister won't be teased for not having a father.

"You need to help me pursue your mommy," Matthew said.

Samuel was speechless. He was remarking to himself since he liked mommy, then why did they divorce and leave her? Why did he cause her to be so pitiful? After she gave birth to him and his sister, she had to raise them under the criticisms of others.

Samuel pursed his lips tightly, "Do you still like my mommy?"

They must have married because he liked mommy but perhaps he liked someone else or don't love mommy anymore and that was why they divorced. Now he wanted to pursue mommy again, did it mean that he loved her again?

Matthew raised his eyebrow, what did he mean by 'still'? But he didn't dwell on it and treated it as a misstatement by a child.

"I like..."

"Samuel." Dolores said as she ran over.

Jessica said that he was downstairs waiting for her to come back but she didn't see him when she went upstairs. His cellphone watch was kept by her and she couldn't replace him. She was afraid that he lost his way and came down to look for him. She was so worried that she almost called the police only to replace him at the entrance of the apartment complex.

"Why did you stray off? Do you know that I was worried sick when I can't replace you?" Dolores knew that her son was prejudiced against Matthew and pulled him behind her, "He's a child, please don't be offended by what he said."

"Of course." Matthew leaned against the side of the car and pointed his chin at Samuel, "I won't hold a grudge against a child."

Samuel's good impression of Matthew dissipated immediately with what he said.

Samuel held Dolores' neck tightly and kissed her cheek and said, "Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight. Hug me when you sleep, okay?"

Matthew was speechless. This rascal.

Dolores was startled and looked at her son. Why did he behave this way today? He had been angry because she confiscated his things and now suddenly, he wasn't angry with her anymore? It was so strange she thought.

"Mommy, do you want to eat outside? Can I go with you?" He hugged onto Dolores' neck and said coyly, "Okay?"

Dolores looked up at Matthew for an answer.

Matthew nodded, "Let's go."

This time it was Matthew who drove while Dolores and Samuel sat behind. Samuel looked like he was flaunting that Dolores was his and was making a point that mommy was his and no one could take her away. Only he could hug her and sleep with her. Dolores was startled by his sudden actions.

"Samuel." She called him and felt his forehead with her hand to ascertain if he had a fever. No fever. So why was he behaving this way?

"I'll return your cellphone watch, okay?" Dolores was uncomfortable with Samuel's intense reactions. It was really inconvenient not to be able to contact him. She still couldn't give him the iPad because he had not admitted to his mistakes.

"Really?" Samuel's eyes lit up and asked, "What about the iPad?"

He was really bored without the iPad and because he couldn't play the games.

"I can give it to you but you must know..."

"I'm wrong." He admitted to his mistake before Dolores could finish.

He had already decided to seek revenge for his mommy with that scumbag and so would not make him look bad. He would not make things difficult for him for the moment. Today, Samuel had surprised Dolores with a lot of actions that he had never done before. He was a good kid in many aspects except that he was very stubborn. Once he decided on something, it was difficult for others to change his mind. "Over here," Dolores said when she saw the shop serving breakfast.

Matthew looked at the shop and it appeared very crowded. He parked the car and Dolores carried Samuel out of the car. They walked into the shop together. There were many people in the shop at this time and they attracted some attention. They looked like a family of three when they stood together. A tall and handsome husband, the son took after his dad and was cute and charming while the mother was young and beautiful. This combination was very eye-catching.

Matthew rarely ate breakfast outside and wasn't used to such a place.

"Find a seat while I have a look at what do they have today." Dolores placed her son down and asked, "Is there something that you want to eat?"

"I want some pumpkin porridge and fried dumplings."

"How about you?" Dolores turned to look at Matthew.

"Anything." He didn't know what was available.

There were so many people in the shop.

"There's a seat over there." Someone left and Samuel pulled Matthew towards the seat. Matthew frowned because the table hadn't been cleaned.

Samuel noticed Matthew's dislike for the place, pursed his lips, and said, "Mommy and I frequently eat at such places."

"Really?" Matthew remarked.

"Of course!" Samuel replied.

"I agree to work with you to seek revenge for my mommy." Samuel clenched his hands as he saw her carry his breakfast and said with determination, "Mommy had suffered enough. I want to protect her."
