Snare of Love
Chapter 195 An Arbitrary Clause

Matthew felt that he was the saddest man in the world. He was hugging his wife in his arms but he couldn't have sex with her.

He buried his face into her hair and could smell the faint scent of shampoo, as he nibbled and kissed the back of her neck.

Half of Dolores's face was buried in the pillow. She looked at her sleeping son and daughter before reaching out to touch their cheeks. When she looked at them, she thought of the crazy images she spent with Matthew that night. She did not feel good but gloomy. "Matthew, how many women have you slept with?"

She didn't know why, but as she thought he had been in bed having sex with other women too, she felt upset.

Her first time was his.

Although she had been deliberately trying to forget it, he had left a great impression on her.

She agreed with the statement which said that women were sentimental.

She always had a special feeling towards this man who made her lose her virginity.

Matthew who was kissing her stopped for a moment. He could still smell the scent of her body lingering in his nose. It was light but refreshing.

His voice was even a bit hoarse, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Dolores buried her face deeper into the pillow, "I just simply asked it. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep first."

However, Matthew didn't feel that she was simply asking him.

He grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her over. Dolores tried to escape from him and said in a low voice, "Don't touch me. I'm sleepy now." Matthew didn't care about her resistance and forcefully pulled her body over, looking at her face, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Dolores pretended to be calm, "I'm just sleepy."

Matthew cupped her chin and lifted it, making her look at herself, "Are you jealous?"

"No." She immediately denied it.

She just felt that she got the short end of the stick as she had the first and the most precious sex with him but she wasn't the first woman he had sex with.

She was adamant as she denied that she was not jealous.

"Then why are you angry?" His eyes lighted up as his fingers rubbed her pink and soft lips. He felt comfortable pressing her lips.

"I didn't." She just didn't want to admit that she was upset and jealous.

He smiled, "Good, you are not jealous..."

As he finished her words, he moved towards her and wanted to kiss her. When Dolores moved, he threatened her, "If you want them to see me kissing you, then move."

Dolores was concerned about the two children and stopped moving. Her eyes turned red as she was upset.

Matthew kissed her tenderly and said in a vague voice, "I've never slept with any woman except you."

In his life, he only loved this woman.

"What about Maria?" She had seen treating her well.

He had even spent the night with her at the villa.

She didn't believe it if he said they didn't have sex.

Not only did Dolores not believe it, but Matthew himself also didn't believe it.

"I used to think I was abnormal." It wasn't that he couldn't have any sexual desire towards Maria, but also any other women.

He didn't have a sexual desire for any woman except Dolores.

He used to be nice to Maria because Maria said that she was the woman who had sex with him at the night.

He thought that Maria had given him the most precious thing a woman could have and he should be responsible for it.

It wasn't that he loved or liked her. It was just that he thought that he should be responsible for her.

"Um... Mummy..." Simona was moving her hands crazily as if she was having a nightmare.

Dolores gently patted her daughter's back, "Be good. Mummy is here."

Simona's little hand touched Dolores's chest as if she was trying to make sure it was her mummy before she quieted down again.

Dolores wrapped her arms around her daughter and helped to tuck Samuel in the blanket before saying to the person behind her, "It's getting late. Let's sleep." Matthew was speechless.

He moved towards her and hugged her.

Matthew did not have a good sleep this night and he did not fall asleep until midnight.

Samuel had the best dreamless sleep and he was the first to wake up in the morning. When he saw Matthew hugging Dolores, he frowned and sat up in bed as if he was angry.

He finally couldn't hold his anger and took away Matthew's arm and got in between them to separate them.

His movement caused both Matthew and Dolores woke up, and he reacted quickly by hugging Dolores. He pampered himself in her arms, "Mummy, please hug me." He rarely did this.

Dolores became soft-hearted seeing his sudden action as she hugged him in her arms and kissed him on the forehead.

Matthew was speechless.

He rolled over and silently looked at the ceiling.

He just wanted to get his wife back. Why did even his son have to go against him?

"Mummy, did you have a good time before?"

Dolores couldn't understand Samuel's words and she thought that Ohe was talking nonsense in the early morning.

She reached out to touch her son's forehead. Samuel moved away his head, "I'm not having a fever."

"Then what did you... what did you mean just now?"

Samuel glanced at Matthew behind her, "When you were pregnant and had us inside your belly, there were people saying you to be pregnant before you married with him. You had a hard time giving birth to us and raising us up alone. So, you should never be soft-hearted towards those who had disappointed you and abandoned you during your hardest time. Otherwise, he'll think you're easy to cajole and won't cherish you. He will even hurt you next time."

Dolores finally understood why his son was like this early in the morning.

She reached out to pinch his cheeks, "Where did you learn all these 'great principles'?"

"Mummy, please promise me that you will not casually, easily forgive people who hurt you." Samuel showed his serious little face.

She felt pleased but also upset seeing her son's serious face. She felt like she shouldn't reject his request and nodded, "I know."

Matthew rolled over again and laid on the bed. He knew that Samuel was saying those words for him to hear. However, he couldn't even refute a single word.

As people said, "The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear."

If he hadn't trusted Maria so easily just because she had saved his life, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

There was no one else to blame.

The curtains which shaded the sunlight made the room look dark even it was almost seven o'clock. Dolores got up to replace clothes for the two children. She also dressed them and washed them up. Matthew buttoned his shirt and stood at the bathroom door, "Let's go to the mall."

She had no clothes to wear.

Dolores nodded.

After washing up, she put on the dress and when she went to the door to change her shoes, Matthew pulled her towards him, "Just wear slippers and go to the mall."

The wound in her arch had not yet healed completely. It was not good for her ankle if she wore high heels.

Dolores looked down at the hotel slippers she was wearing on her feet and blinked, "Is it good to go outside like this?"

"I won't mind you being like this." Matthew put his arm around her shoulders to reassure her, "Don't worry. I'll be with you."

Dolores looked up at him who was dressed in a suit. He looked tall and distinguished, displaying the aura of a successful man. She lowered his head, thinking that what was she worried about as he didn't ever mind her being like that.

After having breakfast downstairs, they all got into the car and the three cars left the hotel one after another.

After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the largest shopping mall in White City.

The mall was not very big. There were four floors, with lifts going up and down the hall. There were entertainment facilities for children to play. The first floor was for clothing, while the second floor was for jewellery, and the cinema and restaurant were located on the top floor.

Simona didn't want to go up with them when she saw there were entertainment facilities downstairs.

"You two wait for me down here. I'll go up and buy some clothes. Then, I will come down." Dolores knew her daughter well. If she didn't allow her daughter to play, she would make trouble again.

Dolores let go of her son and let him play with his sister downstairs as well, "Take care of her for Mummy."

Samuel nodded, "Then, Mummy, come back faster."

"Yes."

Dolores went upstairs alone, trailed by the bodyguard arranged by Boyce.

Dolores was a fashion designer and she knew how to choose clothes well. The first thing she considered was whether the clothes were comfortable. She chose some casual clothes as she was not attending an important event.

She saw a casual outfit branded MO, which she had bought before. She liked both the style and the comfort of the clothes when she wore them. So, she walked in.

She was quite a little surprised that there was such a brand in this small place in White City.

Dolores wanted to buy a beige hoodie and she looked at the salesgirl who was sitting on the sofa using her phone, "Is this hoodie available in size S?"

The salesgirl didn't even raise her head, "The hoodie costs 4800 Yuan. Are you sure you want to try it on?"

Dolores was speechless.

In the past, she was always served well when she entered the shop. She was really surprised by the salesgirl's attitude.

Dolores took a breath, "I'm sure."

The salesgirl finally got up. She took a glance at the slippers on Dolores's feet and taunted her mockingly while pouting her mouth, "Is it a trend to wear disposable shoes out now?" Obviously, the salesgirl thought that Dolores couldn't afford such expensive clothes seeing her outfit.

The salesgirl was still chattering as she took the clothes, "All the clothes sold in our shop are branded. They are all designed by foreign designers. You have to buy them if you try them on..." "Then don't take it for me. Thanks." Dolores didn't understand why was she taunting her when she just wanted to buy a hoodie.

Did she say that she must buy it after trying it on?

What kind of arbitrary clause was that?

It was the first time she encountered this kind of situation.

The salesgirl slammed the clothes she took out. She stood up and looked at Dolores, "What do you mean? Did I ask you if you were sure you wanted to try it? You said you were sure, so I took it for you, and you are telling me now that you don't want it after I take it out. Do you want to play with me now?"

"No..."

"What do you mean?" The salesgirl looked aggressive.

Dolores felt that she couldn't communicate with this kind of person. She turned around and wanted to leave, but the salesgirl pulled her arm, "You can't leave. I've already taken out the clothes. You have to buy them!"

"This doesn't make any sense!" Dolores was really shocked by the salesgirl's bossiness. She thought that normally the staff in a clothing shop was professionally trained, how could she be so unreasonable?

"If you can't afford it, why are you wasting my time here acting like you are a rich woman?" The salesgirl pouted her mouth and said coldly as if she wouldn't allow Dolores to leave if she did not want to buy the shirt today, "If you ask me to take it out, you must buy it. I have told you the price. It's 4800 Yuan. Pay it."

"Ask your boss to come here." Dolores felt that she couldn't communicate with her.

"The boss is not available now and you can talk with me. I am the boss's cousin and I can help my boss to make the decision."

Dolores finally realized that the reason why she dared to be so arrogant was that she had a relationship with the boss.

"Miss, you shouldn't treat your customer like this..."

"Cut the crap. Pay me the money. Then take your clothes and leave!" The salesgirl was so arrogant as if she thought that she was the boss of the shop being the boss's cousin.

"What if I don't want to pay?" Dolores also displayed a cold look.

"Oh, then I won't let you leave the shop. For your information, my cousin knows Charles White. Do you know him? He is my cousin's friend. This mall is owned by him. If you want to act like a rich woman, you have come to the wrong place."

Dolores felt that the people who came from a poor family would act arrogantly if they had a backer, just like this salesgirl.
