Snare of Love
Chapter 142: Men Are All Shit

Nestled in Dolores arms, Simona seemed to have heard him in a daze. She said dully, "I do."

She wanted Daddy.

But she had become really sleepy and didn't go over to him. Dolores covered her ears to prevent her from listening and patted her back gently to make her sleep. Simona hummed and groaned, and pressed deeper into Dolores embrace.

Dolores hugged her tightly.

Matthew turned sideways, his gaze resting on Simona's little soft hand that were touching Dolores chest.

Even though he couldn't touch it, he could feel what it would be like just by looking. A storm of emotions was raging in his heart.

Perceiving Matthew's fiery gaze, Dolores pulled the quilt over to cover Simona's hand and then closed her eyes pretending to sleep

She was not sleepy right now but she didn't want Matthew to touch her, so she pretended to sleep.

Matthew sighed, silently cursing his bitter life.

Even though they were lawfully married but he still couldn't touch her.

He turned over to lay on his back and looked up at the light on the ceiling with a deep gaze, unable to hide the throbbing.

Dolores actually fell asleep while pretending to, but Mathew tossed and turned over in the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly he sat up and stared sideways at the mother and daughter.

He said bitterly in his heart, "Are you two here specially to make my life hard? It's like I killed your family in the last life so you both are here in this life to torture me."

He was a healthy man and he hadn't touched a woman in a long time. Of course, his body was going to react when he saw Dolores lying there.

He sighed and got up to take a shower, hoping to dissipate the evil fire in his body.

He didn't sleep until dawn.

By the time he woke up, Dolores had already gone to the store to make the final arrangements for the opening tomorrow.

Matthew left without eating the breakfast that Coral had prepared.

Coral wanted to take Samuel to the supermarket and asked Jessica if it was alright, "I will keep him safe, and the driver will be with us."

They all lived together and Jessica couldn't refuse her, "The injury on his head has still not healed, so come back soon."

"Okay. Do you need anything? I will buy it." Coral beamed happily.

"No." Jessica smiled back.

Samuel was sitting on the sofa looking at Coral. He quivered as his round eyes widened. She knew perfectly well that he was injured but still wanted to take him to the supermarket? Why did it feel fishy?

Coral had thought about it since last night, that after Dolores and Matthew left for work, she was going to take Samuel to Jaden's place.

She felt uneasy not knowing whether these children were Matthew's or not.

This matter was stuck in her mind and she couldn't sleep or eat well.

"I am ready, let's go." Coral smiled, "You still have injury on your head, let me pick you up in my arms."

"No, I can walk by myself." Samuel wanted to see what Coral was up to.

He had only lived here for a short time, but he was sure that she was not a bad person and it will not be dangerous.

"Okay." Coral led him to the hallway to help him change his shoes and then took him out.

The driver asked, "Are you going to the supermarket?"

"No. Go to the mansion."

The driver looked back at her and then at Samuel, seemingly understanding her intentions. Then he turned his head back and drove quietly. Samuel asked deliberately, "What is the mansion?"

"It's your grandpa's house." Coral was subconsciously sure that they were Matthew's children.

She felt that Dolores was not that kind of an easy woman.

Is she had a man, then why would she be together with Matthew?

Samuel understood that the mansion was the home of the heartless guy's father.

Now he felt more at ease.

"By the way, do you know why my mom divorced him?" He never addressed Matthew with anything other than him or you.

Because in his heart, even though Matthew was his father, he still abandoned his mom and sister. He didn't want to acknowledge him.

So, he only called him using pronouns.

Coral's face darkened a bit. Thinking about Matthew's attitude at the time of divorce, it was a little hard to talk about. After all, Samuel was a child and he would feel sad knowing such a thing.

"Please tell me." Samuel tugged at her sleeve acting like a stubborn child, "Please, please!"

Coral had no choice left, "Your dad had a girlfriend at that time... so..."

"He was married and had a girlfriend?" Samuel knew that there must have been a reason behind the divorce but he had never expected it to be cheating. What girlfriend? Just call her a mistress. He thought. Samuel said angrily, "Men are shit!"

Coral was amused by his words and asked, "Aren't you a man too?"

Samuel was dumbfounded.

"I am still a child, and I will never grow up to be like Daddy. He is a heartless cheater who abandoned his wife."

Coral's eyes widened. He knew that Matthew was his father?

Were Jessica and Dolores deliberately concealing it from Matthew?

Was this some kind of revenge for the divorce? Not telling Matthew that the children in front of him were his own?

"You... You know that he is your father?"

"Of course! He is Mommy's ex-husband, so he has to be our father. Mommy had never had a boyfriend since the divorce."

Samuel said solemnly and surely.

Coral reached out to pat him on his head gently, "You are a good boy, Samuel. You all have suffered too much."

She could very clearly understand how hard it would have been for her to raise two children on her own.

"We didn't suffer. We had Mommy and Grandma!" Samuel's expressions slowly fell gloomily. There used to be an uncle too, but now he was gone.

Coral let out a long sigh, "You father will suffer the consequences."

It was all his doing, now if he was to replace out that his children had grown so much, she didn't know how he would react.

Maybe this was his punishment for abandoning them.

It didn't take long for the car to stop outside the Nelson mansion. Coral helped Samuel out of the car.

Standing in front of the building, Samuel blinked. This mansion was very big; the villa they lived in was big too, but it was relatively low-key. This one was clearly magnificent. Coral smiled, "Let me take you inside."

Samuel hesitated for a while. Mommy still hadn't told him about his father, was she still angry with his father?

He just came here like this, was his mother going to be angry when she found out?

"What are you thinking?" Coral looked at his confused expressions and smiled, "Don't be afraid, you are their grandson. They will definitely like you."

"Really?" Samuel began to look forward to it a bit.

His little heart thumped nervously.

He had always looked forward to meeting his relatives, but all of this was so sudden it caught him off-guard.

"Really!" Coral held his hand, "Let's go in."

Walking along, Samuel felt like a soulless puppet just quietly following Coral.

When she pressed the doorbell of the huge gate, Thomas was watering the grass. He heard the doorbell ring and opened the peep hole. When he saw Coral standing there he was taken aback because when Mrs. Nelson had died, Matthew had moved out of the house. At that time, he was still in junior high and Coral had moved out with him to take care of him.

Matthew didn't like coming back here much, so she was also only rarely seen here.

Why did she come here suddenly? And who was the little boy next to her?

He looked like...

Thomas opened the gate, put down his watering can and went inside to tell Jayden.☐☐☐☐☐☐
