Snare of Love
Chapter 231 A Big Cuddly Hug

Armand heard Matthew's bodyguard come up the mountain, after the bodyguard saw him clearly, he reported, "It's me, where is Mr. Nelson?” "Inside." Reported the bodyguard.

The roads were easier to walk on now since people have already walked past, leaving a narrow and relatively flat road. They followed the bodyguard, walked past a small mountain peak and saw some persimmon trees. At this current season, the trees' leaves have almost all fallen off, all one can only see are bright red persimmons.

Dolores saw Matthew and his daughter's shadow underneath a slightly larger persimmon tree. It looked like his daughter ate a persimmon and had juice all over her mouth, Matthew was helping his daughter wipe off excess juice.

Initially, she thought Matthew was lucky because his parents didn't leave him, he is from a good family, everyone knew that he was born with a silver spoon.

But she felt sorry for him when he was unaware that Victoria was his mother.

"Mommy." Simona saw Dolores first. "Mommy, are you looking for me?" Simona said excitedly.

Matthew turned his head around and saw a woman standing still, she could attract attention despite how dim the moonlight was that night.

How can she show up when it's not time yet?

Dolores walked down and stood in front of him, there were a lot less weeds obstructing her path, so it made it easier for her to walk down. She looked at her daughter and wanted to touch her face but remembered that her hands were too dirty, so she took them back and said, "Yes I miss Simona so much, so I took time off to see you."

Matthew saw dried blood on her hands when she held them out and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing, just a scratch." Dolores answered after looking at her hands.

"Let's go." He held onto Dolores's hand and carried his daughter with his other hand.

"Mommy, mommy." Simona ran towards her with two persimmons.

"Slow down, don't fall." This road was not good.

"I'm watching my step." Simona said as she ran in front of her to give her two persimmons. The persimmons were yellowish red, not big but soft. "Mommy, they're sweet, you can try them." These persimmons were unripe and not succulent enough, they will only be juicy and sweet when they are soft and ripe.

Dolores smiled and said, "Let's go home first and eat it at home."

She was afraid of getting Victoria worried because they took too long.

Simona nodded and asked, "So Mommy, does this mean that you will stay with me?"

Dolores's smiled vaguely, she held her head up to look at Matthew, but she was speaking to his son, "Mommy has to deal with something first, I'll be back as soon as I finish. But we can walk together." "Really?" Simona hugged Dolores's leg happily, she was elated to be able to spend time with Mommy.

"Mommy, can I be with you?" Simona blinked her eyes when she asked.

"Of course." Simon's eyes were bright and beautiful, they looked like crescent moons when she smiled.

"How about me?" Matthew held on to her hand with a bit of force, she can take both of these kids, but how about him?

Dolores cast a glance at his direction, she couldn't look at his eyes directly because she felt guilty, "The master only allows me to bring two people so, so..."

"Do you mean I can't come along?"

Matthew's glance fell to the ground, she looked flustered and was unwilling to make any eye contact. He was sure she was lying but did not expose her.

"Let's go" Matthew said casually.

They followed the bodyguard and arrived at the bottom of the mountain in no time.

Matthew handed his daughter over to Theresa, and yanked Dolores into the room. Dolores would not be so obedient in the past, but she dared not defy him now. She wanted to hug him. She did what she wanted to and put her hands around his waist after they entered the room.

Her initiative took him by surprise, he froze up like a zombie, has her temperament changed after a few days of learning something new?

However, he was enjoying this. He bent down to kiss her forehead, slowly moving his lips towards her eyes and asked her whether she missed him in his deep musky voice.

His muscular chest felt warm, she had her reservations at first but now she wanted to open up her heart towards this man, love him and accept him for who he is.

"Um" She replied in a low soft voice.

He is the father of her children; they had an arranged marriage when they were young.

She had heard the saying, 'Fate has a funny way of surfacing, you have walked past each other a thousand times in your past life to be able to look back once in this life, you have looked back a thousand times in this life to meet once.'

Matthew felt that she has changed, no matter how intimate they tried to get before, no matter how much initiative he showed, she was distant.

He liked this new version of Dolores very much, but he was a bit taken back, what caused her to change within a few days?

Who did she meet? What happened? What changed her?

Dolores lifted her head, stood on her tip toes and kissed him without hesitation, it was fleeting, it felt like when a dragonfly flew by the water and touched it for a second. She left before Matthew could enjoy her kiss thoroughly.

"I want to bring Simona and Samuel with me for a couple of days", She said coyly. "I don't think that you will object."

Matthew wanted to say, "Can I say no?"

Obviously not.

Seeing her behaving like a playful woman, Matthew felt his heart burning up, pounding furiously for her, at that moment he wanted to give her a strong hug and make her part of him.

"I can agree to that, but..." He knelt down, swept his lips gently past her ear, lingered around her neck and ear, "kiss me again, and I'll agree to it."

He was standing very close and speaking enigmatically.

Dolores trembled, unable to free herself from his grasp, Matthew held her tightly with a slight smile, he enjoyed making her shy and coy, unable to decide whether she can be reserved. He felt that she was beautiful and sultry.

"Close your eyes." Dolores said as quietly as a fly.

Mathew laughed, closed his eyes obediently, hung his head down while anticipating a big cuddly hug.

Dolores closed her eyes and remembered that Victoria was waiting for her, her heart skipped a beat, she put her lips on his. His lips were soft, and a bit chilly.

Just when she was about to pull back, she got brainwashed into changing the shape of her lips, they locked tightly with his, he French kissed her.

Dolores was afraid that he wouldn't end this. She pushed him away with her hand but, his shirt button hit her injured palm. She screamed in pain, Matthew loosened up a bit and asked, "Did I hurt you?" "My hand hurts." Dolores said in a solemn voice, she felt a bit of resentment.

Her hug just now took him by surprise, Matthew forgot about her injuries. After saying that Matthew suddenly remembered and took a look at her hand. It looked like something had stabbed into her hand, there was dirt and dried blood around the wound.

He frowned and asked, "How did this happen?"

Dolores replied honestly, "A tree branch stabbed me."

Matthew raised his eyes, he wanted to tell her how clumsy she was, but he remembered the countless messy tree branches everywhere on the mountains and kept quiet. If it weren't for the bodyguards, he might not have brought his children to the mountain safely.

"Hang on." He asked for some sanitizing alcohol over the phone. This place was terrible, there was nothing available around here.

"That's not necessary, I don't have enough time; the master is waiting for me. I need to leave immediately." Dolores said as she was panicking to rush to the Forbis family.

'You're in that much of a hurry? Matthew asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Dolores nodded her head.

Matthew really wanted to know what caused her sudden change of heart, so he nodded his head to show her that he has agreed; Dolores was elated. However, Matthew was very concerned, he liked the new Dolores, but he nodded in order to get her approval; Dolores was so happy she was speechless.

Dolores arrived at the courtyard and picked up her daughter, held her son's hand and headed to the back of the courtyard.

As soon as they've left, Matthew left the wooden house with Boyce, they walked along the path toward the backyard. He wanted to know what Dolores was up to with the children after bringing them there. He realized that she didn't stay at the backyard with the children, instead they left from the backyard.

A car not too far way seemed to be waiting for Dolores, but the most important point was he recognized this car.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
