Snare of Love
Chapter 164: I Am The Only Man In The House

He calmly stared at 'Dolores', "What do you want me to do?"

'Dolores's' heart thumped loudly. Matthew's expressions were obviously calm but he looked inexplicably horrifying, "He... he didn't do it on purpose. Forget it!"

"Thank you! Really, thank you for being so generous!" The waiter thanked again and again as he pushed his trolley towards the door to leave. As he closed the door behind him, he glanced at 'Dolores' but there were no good feelings for her in his heart.

Even a dog threatened others based in its master's power. Obviously, if Matthew wasn't besides her, who would have even recognized such a person?

'Dolores' walked over to hold his arm, "Matthew..."

"Aren't you hungry? Let's eat." Matthew disregarded her touch.

'Dolores' hands were left hanging in the air stiffly. It was obvious that Matthew had just rejected her intimacy. But he had just promised to have a baby with her.

"Matthew, are you angry?" 'Dolores' probed him cautiously.

Matthew pulled a chair, not looking at her, and said lightly, "No, let's eat."

Seeing that he was not angry, 'Dolores' suppressed her uneasy heart. she restrained herself with difficulty and sat down to eat quietly.

Matthew put vegetables on her plate, "Eat more."

'Dolores' blushed and felt a little shy. It turned out that Matthew actually treated Dolores quite well.

Happiness bloomed in her heart.

In order to make things go smoothly, she hadn't been able to eat well or sleep well these few days. Now that she had come to Matthew's side smoothly, she felt a lot relaxed. Her appetite was naturally better when she was in a good mood and she ate a lot.

Matthew handed her a glass of water, "Eat slowly."

'Dolores' felt so happy that she could live with Matthew and sit with him to eat like this. She took a few sips of the water after receiving it. Then, maybe because she felt happy that Matthew gave it to her, she drank some more. After drinking a couple more mouthfuls, she said softly to Matthew, "Can you stay here with me today?"

Matthew hummed faintly.

'Dolores' was so happy that she forgot everything else. She even forgot that she had sprained her ankle. She stood up from the chair and wobbled, her belly hit the table and it hurt. She frowned, "It hurts." She opened her eyes, watching Matthew, longing for him to comfort her.

At this moment, Matthew's phone rang and he took out his phone, looking at the caller ID. It was the villa's landline. He didn't pick it up immediately, but waited for 'Dolores' to go back to the room to rest. Reluctantly, 'Dolores' skimmed the screen of his phone, "Who is it?"

"It's from the company. Why, you want to interfere?" His voice became cold.

Don't be angry and arrogant.

Not wanting to make him angry, 'Dolores' pouted, "No, I will just go back to the room."

'Dolores' limped back to the room. The smile on her face disappeared without a trace as soon as she shut the door behind her.

Why was Matthew so temperamental?

Sometimes he treated her well and sometimes he was so impatient. Did he like Dolores or not?

'Dolores' was puzzled, wondering what kind of attitude was this.

In the living room, Matthew watched the bedroom door close before walking to the window to answer the call.

Samuel's voice came as soon as the call connected, "Where is my Mommy?"

The first thing he said was a question.

Jessica had told him that his Mommy and Daddy were on a business trip, but he didn't believe it. His Mommy would never go on a business trip with Matthew without telling him and his sister first. And did she go on the business trip without any clothes and other daily necessities?

That was not in-line with common sense.

Matthew's fingers suddenly gathered into a fist, making the blue veins on the back of his hand become prominent. Extreme emotion filled his heart; he didn't know how was Dolores right now, where she was, whether she was safe or if she was hurt.

He knew nothing. Such a thing happened that he couldn't control. He blamed himself and worried.

His voice trembled slightly, "She is on a business trip with me..."

"Don't lie to me. I am not as easy to cheat as my sister. Where is Mommy? If she is really with you then let me talk to her." Samuel interrupted him, his voice a little hoarse, "If she is with you, then why are her calls not connecting? Does she not know that I am worried about her, miss her? If she knew she would never do that."

The child's mind was so meticulous that he couldn't hide it from him.

Matthew didn't know how to tell him.

He had never been at such a loss.

Faced by Samuel's questioning, he was speechless.

"Samuel..."

"You don't need to explain. Just tell me exactly where my Mommy has gone or id she is in any danger. Please tell me. I have never been away from her since I was born. I am the only man in my house, I promised to protect her..."

In the huge living room in the villa, Samuel was standing next to the sofa, looking very small with his eyes red and teary, "Tell me."

Matthew pondered for a moment and then said softly, "I will have Abbott to pick you up."

"Okay." Samuel hung up the phone.

Matthew hung up the phone in a daze until there was a beeping sound as a text message arrived. Only when the reminder sounded did he clicked on the message to read it.

It was Boyce who had brought the doctor over and was waiting at the door to ask if he could come up.

He glanced at the time. By this time, 'Dolores' should have fallen asleep.

In order not to be found, he opened the door to make sure that she was asleep and then texted Boyce to let him bring the doctor up.

Opening the door, Boyce brought in a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"This is the cosmetic surgeon I got. He has been in the cosmetic surgery industry for more than twenty years..."

Matthew sat on the sofa. Leaning back, he pressed his eyebrows with one hand and interrupted Boyce with the other. He was not interested in such things, "You take him in."

Boyce could see that he was in a bad mood so he didn't continue. He showed the way to the cosmetic surgeon, letting him enter the bedroom to see 'Dolores'.

The doctor had listened to Boyce's explanation and had brought some small tools when he came. He used a small torch to illuminate 'Dolores' nose, which was translucent. He touched her cheeks, jaw, forehead and other facial features, "The bridge of the nose is filled with fillers. The eyes have been opened more, the bones have been shaved and to many of the teeth have been fixed. The facial features have basically moved..."

Boyce looked serious, 'How long does it take to make someone like this?"

"If you want natural recovery, it can take up to three or four years, otherwise the face will be very stiff. However, the person who performed the surgeries on her has good skill and left almost no flaws. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see that she has had plastic surgery."

Boyce showed the cosmetic surgeon to the door and gave him a stack of money, "Thank you. I hope you won't talk about today's matter with anyone other than me."

"I understand. Don't worry I don't want to make trouble for myself." The cosmetic surgeon accepted the money and left.

Boyce turned around and looked at the man sitting on the sofa. He was on the phone with Abbott to send him to the villa.

Boyce closed the door, walked in and sat across from him. He waited until he hung up the call and then said, "It's plastic surgery." Matthew was not surprised as he had been expecting it.

"I asked the doctor. To make her like this and to let her recover naturally, it would have taken at least three or four years. Such a long time..." Boyce said seriously, "I am afraid this is not going to be easy. Who is this woman? How could she have laid dormant for so long in order to impersonate Ms. Flores?"

Matthew thought about the people who hated Dolores. They were only a few people; Beulah was dead, Maria was locked up and then there was Beulah's daughter who had disappeared six years ago. After disappearing for six years, she could have this time.

And she did have hatred towards Dolores.

Which could be counted as motive.

By the look on Matthew's face, it looked like he already knew who this girl with plastic surgery was. Boyce came over and said, "Do you know who is it?"

"I am still guessing and I need to investigate it before confirming."

"Then what are you going to do? How will you deal with her?" Boyce was simply overthrown by this; he had thought that Maria was crazy enough.

Unexpectedly, there was someone even crazier than her.

Women!

Boyce shuddered.

He thought that women were a some very scary creatures.

Matthew curled his upper lip in a fiercely cold and blood thirsty arc.

How could such a woman deserve to have the same face as Dolores.☐☐☐☐
