Snare of Love
Chapter 119: You Don’t Like Him

On the other side, Samuel fell asleep in Dolores arms while returning to the villa.

One side of his face was still red and swollen. Dolores felt very distressed and wanted to touch him but was afraid of hurting him.

She was really quiet and didn't say a word, just silently wiped her tears from time to time.

Samuel had never been hurt before; this was the first time.

As it was said, when the child gets hurt the mother feels the pain.

Matthew looked at her in the rear-view mirror. He wanted to comfort her so that she would not be so distressed but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

He had never been a parent and couldn't understand her feelings.

It didn't take long before the car stopped in front of the villa.

Matthew got out and opened the door for her. It was not convenient for her to get out while holding Samuel. He reached out to pick him up, "Let me hold him."

"No, I will hold him myself." Since Samuel was rescued, she had not been able to let go of him.

She kept holding him, not letting anyone take over.

Matthew looked at her for two seconds and couldn't stand her attitude. This was her child and she could feel hurt and love him but she kept blaming herself and feeling like all of this was her fault. This was difficult for him to accept.

"It wasn't your fault; you don't need to punish yourself." He stubbornly took Samuel in his arms. Dolores didn't want to let go, "What are you doing?"

"If you don't want him to be woken up, keep quiet!"

Dolores lowered her voice and whispered, "He has an injury on his head, please be careful."

She was afraid that Matthew would hurt Samuel.

He was a big man and had no experience in holding children.

Matthew hummed lightly in response.

Dolores had lived here before and was not unfamiliar with it. It had basically not changed, was just like before.

After experiencing the events of the day, Simona was either very scared or really tired, she had fallen asleep right after Abbott had brought her here. She was still asleep.

Coral had met Jessica and Simona once, so when Abbott brought them, she was a little surprised but then quite quickly became acquainted with Jessica.

Abbott didn't tell her why they were here and Coral didn't ask. She knew that Abbott was Matthew's right-hand man and he must have been instructed by Matthew himself.

After seeing the two children last time, she had felt that they were like Matthew when he was a child. In order to see them again, she often went to that supermarket, hoping to see them and asked around about their mother and father.

She was not able to meet them even if she went every day.

Unexpectedly, they came by themselves.

She looked everywhere for them only to have them come to her themselves.

Coral used this opportunity to inquire about the two children.

Jessica probably guessed what this place was, but she didn't want to say much about her daughter. She just said that they were her daughter's children.

She didn't mention anything else.

Coral couldn't replace out anything.

"Why don't you sit down?" Coral got up and wanted to show Jessica a picture of Matthew, when the front door of the villa was pushed open.

Matthew walked in with Samuel in his arms. Dolores followed behind. Subconsciously, as if by habit, she opened the shoe cabinet and took out slippers. She knew which ones were Matthew's and placed them in front of him.

Matthew lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Still haven't forgotten."

Dolores paused. She had only stayed there for less than a month and she still remembered the shoes.

She raised her head calmly and said, "I remember everything I have seen."

Jessica got up from the sofa and glanced at Matthew, and then her eyes finally fell on her daughter.

Coral saw them both coming in, Matthew with Samuel in his arms and Dolores walking besides him. Her mouth fell wide open and she looked at Jessica, "This is your daughter?"

Jessica nodded.

Carol seemed to understand everything in an instant, and she found it odd why Jessica didn't want to talk about the children.

Because her daughter gave birth to her children after a divorce, she must have felt angry that the father of the children left her daughter and must have not wanted to mention it.

In Coral's mind, Dolores children are Matthew's.

Coral remembered six years ago; she was pregnant.

Although they got separated in the beginning, they had slept in the same room the first night they got married.

Moreover, her time calculations seemed correct, and the children are five or six years old.

The room downstairs belonged to Matthew. After Dolores left, he still used it but he didn't spend much time at the villa after it.

"I'll take him to the room to sleep." Matthew said.

Dolores hummed in response.

"Lola." Jessica had a lot to ask Dolores, she couldn't stop herself from calling her impatiently.

Dolores stood in the hallway, not entering the house, "Let's go outside and talk."

"Okay." After all, this was not their own place and there were other people present.

She changed her shoes at the door and followed Dolores.

The front yard of the villa was covered with a large lawn with green and soft grass. There was a rockery besides the plants, with water rushing through it. Below that was a pool filled with ornamental fish, peculiar looking green fish with long tails; they looked like some rare valuable species.

In the front, there was a round table, four rattan chairs and a parasol.

Dolores pulled up a chair for Jessica.

Jessica sat down.

"What the hell is going on? Why did Dr. Herbert suddenly kidnap us and why are you still with him? You guys are divorced, no longer related to each other, was it because Dr. Herbert found out about this that he became hateful and did all this?"

Jessica asked a series of questions in a breath, expressing her thoughts.

Dolores shook her head, "No."

She had told Sampson before that she was willing to try and be with him. Later, because of his sister she had made it clear that it was impossible for them to be together. Not only there was no love between them but also because of his mother and sister standing between them.

"Why is that?" Jessica suddenly thought of something, "Did you tell him that his mother asked you about it?"

"No." Dolores clenched her hands into fists. She didn't know how to tell Jessica what he did to her.

It was really hard to tell.

"Then why?" How could a person change so much so suddenly? Jessica was confused.

She had been continuously thinking about it on her way to the villa.

But she still couldn't understand why he became like that.

"Mom, you know that I don't like him at all." Dolores fists became tighter and tighter, her palms were wet with sticky with sweat. It was only after reaching this point with Sampson that she was able to tell the truth.

She told Jessica what Sampson tried to do to her.

Jessica stood up from her chair in shock, "What?"

"How can he do such a thing?"

Dolores also hadn't been able to believe it in the beginning, but after thinking about it carefully she could figure it out.

He liked her and Maria liked Matthew.

If he destroyed her, Maria would still have a chance to be with Matthew.

For his sister's happiness he was willing to do even such a thing.

Jessica sat down, shocked for a long time, then she said, "It's true that we can know a person for years but still don't know what is going on in his heart."

As the saying went, there really was no knowing what was in someone's heart.

"And what about you and Matthew?" Jessica asked again after her emotions stabilized a bit. She looked at her daughter, "You don't like him?"
