Snare of Love
Chapter 152: You Don’t Need to Pity Us

Samuel took his sister's hand. "Simona, let's go replace Mommy. This is not our home. He's not our daddy."

Simona was reluctant. She couldn't understand why her brother was angry so suddenly. "But he's Daddy..."

"No, he's not." Samuel had never been 'fierce' to his sister. He was quite angry this time. How could Simona realize that man was unwilling to recognize them? Why would they stay here shamelessly in this case?

Simona shed tears because of being scolded. Her eyes were reddened and became quite tearful, her shoulders slightly shrugging.

She dared not utter a beep. She realized that her brother was angry.

Gingerly, she reached to touch Samuel's hand. "Samuel-"

"Stop calling me. Go to your unfaithful father. You can dump me and Mommy!"

"Boo-"

Simona burst into tears, tears falling. She hurriedly to pull Samuel's hand, afraid that he would dump her.

Although she wanted to have a daddy, her brother was closer to her.

After all, they were twins from the same mother and they had stayed together for six years. The family affection was so deeply in their flesh and bones. That couldn't be comparable to the daddy whom she just got to know a few days.

"Samuel, I'm wrong. I don't want Daddy. Please don't leave me. Boohoo-"

"We still have Mommy. What are you crying for?" Samuel wiped off her tears. His eyes were reddened. The tears kept circling in his eyes but didn't fall. Pulling his sister's hand, he said, "Let's go replace Mommy."

"It's so late now. Where are you going?" Jessica hurriedly came over to stop them.

When Victoria and Jayden came over, they had a private chat with her. She knew why they came here.

She was not clear what had happened exactly. She didn't understand why Matthew was the father of those two children.

However, the DNA report wouldn't lie, and Jayden was not a fool, either. He wouldn't recognize someone unrelated to his grandchildren.

The Nelson family was a rich and powerful one. They wouldn't make fun of such things.

They took their descendants quite seriously.

Samuel looked up at Jessica, widening his eyes. "I want to replace Mommy."

He tried his best to widen his eyes to stop the tears from falling.

He didn't want to cry in the presence of that unfaithful guy.

He didn't want to show his weakness to him.

Jessica tried to calm Samuel down. "I'll call your mommy first, OK? If we go out like this, we don't know where she is. Wait a moment. I'll go get my cell phone."

"No way! I want to replace Mommy now." Samuel was unwilling to wait any longer.

"Samuel-" Coral also walked over to convince him.

Seeing the two children like this, she felt sore in her nose and her eyes were reddened.

Victoria turned around and wiped off her tears in secret. Those two kids were so pitiful.

Nobody could convince Samuel, who wanted to leave the house firmly.

"Please stop convincing me. Please don't cry. You think my sister and I are quite pitiful, don't you? We are not. We have Mommy. She loves and spoils us. She bathes us, sleeps with us, tells us bed stories, teaches us to read, and teaches us to be good. It's enough for us to have Mommy. We're not pitiful at all."

After finishing his words, Samuel pulled his sister, ready to go.

"I'll go with you." Jessica followed them in a hurry.

However, someone moved faster than she did. A black shadow rushed over - it was Matthew, who kept silent all the time. Standing in front of Samuel and Simona to block their ways, he said in a deep and hoarse voice, "It's already dark outside. Where are you going?"

"Please make the way. We're going to look for our mommy." Samuel raised his head. Obviously, he was crying but he still hid it stubbornly.

Looking into Samuel's stubborn eyes, Matthew felt that there was a dull pain in his heart, making him hard to breathe. He bent over as if this posture could ease the indescribable "pain".

He made a one-knee squat in front of them, looking at their brows, eyes, faces, noses, and lips. He didn't miss any inch. With trembling hands, he reached out to touch their faces. However, when his hand was in mid-air, he didn't dare to touch them.

He had lost the courage.

He had never been so embarrassed all his life before.

This truth had brought him such a huge blow and shock.

Overnight, he had a son and a daughter.

And it was the woman he always liked who had given birth to them.

How could he not be excited and feel the surge of emotions?

He had never taken a single responsibility for those two kids for even just one day. How could he not feel guilty?

They had been only staying with their mother for six years and he didn't know about it. How could he take it easy? "Please excuse us. We're going to replace our Mommy." Samuel wanted to push away the "huge mountain" in front of him. "May I take you to replace her?" His voice couldn't help trembling.

He also sounded quite careful.

"No, thanks," Samuel still refused.

"I'll call Mommy and ask her to pick us up." As he said, Samuel switched on his wear phone and dialed Dolores's number.

However, the reply he got was: "I'm sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. Please try later..."

Samuel didn't give up. He dialed again, and he received the same reply: "I'm sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. Please try later..." Samuel frowned. His mother would never make her phone unable to be connected, and nor would she let Grandma and he lost contact with her.

He couldn't help wondering what was going on.

"I know where she is. I'll take you there." Matthew even tried to please him. He had never done so in his life, but he had done it just now, fully willing. Samuel didn't agree.

In his opinion, Matthew kept silent because he didn't want to recognize him and his sister. He felt heartbroken and he was quite disappointed in Matthew.

Simona didn't have the guts to agree, either. However, she wanted to agree. Secretly, she tugged her brother's hand. "Samuel, please let Daddy take us to replace Mommy."

"He's not Daddy!" Samuel, how had just calmed down, was enraged by his sister's words again.

Simona shivered in fear. She dared not to utter a peep. She also tried hard to suppress her tears to stop herself from shedding tears. "I... I will not call him that way anymore. I won't..." she choked between sobs, "I won't piss you off, Samuel."

Samuel knew that he had vented his anger on his sister, and he shouldn't have done that to her. Feeling sorry, he held his sister. "I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, Simona."

"Samuel, I don't blame it on you. I know both Mommy and you love me." Simona hugged Samuel's strong little body. "Samuel, I miss Mommy."

Samuel looked over at Matthew. After thinking for a while, he gave in. "Do you truly know where my mommy is?"

Matthew nodded. "Yes, I do."

Samuel thought for a moment. "OK. Thank you."

He sounded polite and aloof.

The intimacy with him had already disappeared.

Matthew's expression was stiffened. Soon it returned to normal. He knew that Samuel was indeed mad at him now.

Reaching out, Matthew wanted to hold Simona. After all, this little girl was so clinging to him.

For the first time, Simona took a step back. Then she studied her brother's expression carefully. She wanted to be held by Daddy, but she was afraid that Samuel would angry with her.

Samuel held his sister's hand tightly. "I'll hold your hand. Shortly we'll see Mommy."

Matthew's hands stopped in mid-air and were withdrawn in disappointment. Trying his best to suppress his emotions, he tried to make his voice sound calm. "Let's go."

He slowed down his paces to wait for the two little fellows.

Samuel was good at taking care of his sister. When the door of the car was opened, he let his sister sit in first. Then he sat in and closed the door. He helped his sister fasten the seat belt and then fastened his own. He didn't need any help from Matthew at all.

Looking at their tender and cute faces from the rear-view mirror, Matthew thought that every inch on their face looked like him a lot, but he had never thought so before.

Suddenly, he clenched his hands and grabbed the steering wheel tightly, blue veins popped out on the back of his hands, showing how hard he was trying. The surges of emotions kept attacking him inwardly.

After a long while, he finally calmed down and started the engine. Dolores said she was heading back to the store for something. Therefore, he drove towards LEO Corporation.
