Snare of Love
Chapter 288 It’s Me

Victoria's name appeared on the phone.

She took a look behind her instinctively and she saw Matthew Nelson carrying Simona Flores and stroking her hair. He didn't notice what she was doing, so she pulled down the curtain and picked up the phone.

"It's me." Victoria said.

Dolores Flores lowered her voice and said "hum" to show she was listening.

Dolores knew Victoria wouldn't call her unless something happened.

"Jeffery came home today, I didn't know where he got the news. But he knew Gambiered Canton Gauze appeared in White City so he came by to question me."

Dolores frowned, why did he get his information?

She clenched her hands. Was the Gambiered Canton Gauze given by Victoria and used for Theresa's wedding dress found out by him?

"I think Jeffery will investigate into it, so he might replace you, I'm worried..."

Victoria didn't want Dolores to get involved in this.

She only wanted Dolores and Matthew to be safe. As about Gambiered Canton Gauze, although it was the Forbis' possession, still less important than the happiness of their life. Dolores took a peak outside seeing Matthew was still carrying Simona and didn't notice her. She put the curtain down and said, "Don't worry, it would be alright."

"You have to be extra careful, now..."

"I'm on something, need to go now." Dolores knew what Victoria wanted to say, but she won't change her decision.

After hanging up the phone, she was staring at the phone and rubbing the phone screen with her fingers slightly.

She was thinking what Jeffery would be like?

But from Victoria's description, she knew he was a tough guy, in addition to his background, hence she had to be careful with him. Otherwise, Victoria might not hide the truth from him that hard.

It was peaceful on the way to City B, and they arrived in City B in the evening.

They arrived in the city center before dinner time and everyone was tired after a long trip. Theresa and Armand took Mrs. Leslie back to their own home. Boyce Shawn had to go back to company to arrange Sampson's stuff before taking a rest.

Dolores and the Mathew together with the kids went back to the villa directly.

After they got home, Coral and Jessica had already prepared dinner well, they knew that they would come back home today.

When they arrived, the bodyguards and driver helped with luggage. Jessica carried up Samuel when he just came into the room. Jessica checked on him carefully to see if Samuel lost any weight or became higher.

"Where is Simona?" Coral asked Dolores. Matthew was taking Simona back into the house with a gloomy look. He greeted nobody but directly went into the room.

Jessica soon understood he was in a bad mood, so she turned to Dolores and asked, "What's wrong? He doesn't look happy."

Dolores didn't say anything to avoid Jessica worrying about him, so she told Jessica, "He's alright, just being tired."

Jessica didn't buy it but she knew her daughter wouldn't want to talk about it more, so she didn't ask her anymore.

"Come over and have dinner, the dishes are getting cold soon. I will help you with the unpacking." Coral came over still with apron, and she was smiling all the time after Dolores came back. "Dropping them here, you are free to leave." Coral told the bodyguards to drop down all the luggage in the hallway.

The wind was blowing into the house after the door opened for quite a while. Dolores took off Samuel's coat and asked him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner. Samuel did what his mom told him. Dolores took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, and went to wash her hands. She got some dishes from the kitchen and put them on the tray. She was about to send some food to the bedroom. "Dolores." Jessica was about to ask something.

Dolores looked at her and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, you can just go!" Jessica shook her hands and walked to the kitchen to get some soup for Samuel.

Dolores felt that Jessica wanted to talk to her. She thought maybe it was the time to have a conversation with her mom as they had been outside for quite a long time. She had to tell her what was going on recently. So she said to Jessica, "Mom, I will go to your room later, I want to talk to you."

"Sure. I also want to talk to you something." Jessica said.

"Yes? What is it?"

Jessica thought about it and felt it wasn't a good time talking about it since Samuel and Coral were here. She didn't want anyone else to listen to the conversation between them, so she said, "We talk later in my room."

Dolores nodded and took the food to the room. Simona's clothing was all on the bed and she was still sleeping. Matthew was sitting beside Simona and watching her.

Dolores signed silently and walked in the room and put the food on the table, said, "Eat something."

She went to pick up Simona's clothes and put them on the hanger.

Matthew didn't move. He had no appetite to eat at the moment, he could not eat anything as he watched Simona's face. Even though the fingerprints on Simona's face had faded away, he still could not let go that matter that Simona was slapped by others.

Dolores walked beside him and put her hand on his shoulder. She was happy to see he cared about their daughter so much.

Because she saw how much he cared about their kids.

"Stop blaming yourself, it was an accident." Dolores said.

Matthew grabbed her hand and Dolores sat on his lap. They were facing each other but saying nothing.

They were quietly staring at each other's eyes and Dolores wanted to tell him the things about Victoria.

But she knew it wasn't rational.

If she did so, it would destroy him and wasted Victoria's years of effort.

She asked lightly, "Are you still angry?"

Matthew nodded.

"It's not your fault." Dolores said.

Matthew looked downward and said, "The last six years was my life long regret."

He missed the time that Dolores needed him the most as well as the kids' childhood.

"We will be together in the future." Dolores smiled. He was unfamiliar to her at the moment.

Matthew said it seriously, "Let's have another baby?"

Because he wanted to witness the period of pregnancy and kid growing up. He was eager to make up the things he had missed. Dolores didn't lie to him last time by saying she might not be able to have another baby. But instead of letting him down, she said, "Ok". Matthew hold her waist and put his jaw on her shoulder, her unique scent was filled in his nose.

His voice was low and clear, and the atmosphere was charming, "Will you sleep with me tonight?"

Dolores was speechless.

How come he was so much straightforward?

And she withdrew her hand which was on his shoulder, "No! Not tonight."

"Why?"

"My mom wanted to talk to me, I have to go to her room later."

"I can wait."

Right after Dolores finished her words, he told her he could wait. Matthew thought she wouldn't stay overnight at Jessica's room. He could wait. Dolores swallowed her saliva, this man...

She was afraid that Mathew might say something more, so she added, "Eat something first before the food gets cold. I will check on Samuel and I'm hungry too."

She hadn't eaten for a whole day, she really felt quite hungry.

Matthew held her hand and smiled slightly, "I can feed you tonight."

Dolores blushed instantly and pulled back her hand from him and said, "Don't be naughty."☐☐☐☐☐
