Snare of Love
Chapter 358 The Tender Love of a Strong Man

Jeffery also signed her not to stand up. He said that Marina could handle it by herself.

"I miss your mother suddenly, accompany me to drink the wine," Jeffery poured the wine for Matthew.

Marina said purposely, "You're injured, don't drink it."

"I have a bad mood. Can't I drink some?" Jeffery's words blocked Marina from talking.

Jeffery took his wine glass and cheered with Matthew, "Accompany me to drink some."

Jeffery would be gloomy when thought of Jolene and asked Matthew to drink wine with him in the past. So, Matthew did not think much and accompanied him to drink. Jeffery indeed had a bad mood that day, he thought of Jolene. He was afraid that Matthew was not Jolene's son.

He wanted to replace up the truth but he was afraid that Matthew was not Jolene's son.

He was melancholy, "Matthew, do you know that I am really regretted allowing your mother to marry your father?"

If they did not consider the benefit of both of the families, then Jolene would not pass away at such a young age...

His heart cracked whenever he thought of his sister who passed away at such a young age.

"We know that she does not like Jayden but she still marries him for the sake of our family. At last..."

Jeffery drank the wine.

Matthew showed a calm expression, he was not that emotional. It had been so many years, even when the matter was mentioned, he could behave calmly.

"I am really regretted. Your father disappoints me. I think he values affection and he is a loyal man but he...he betrays his marriage and I lose my only sister," Jeffery clutched his fist and hit the table remorsefully.

Dolores looked at him. 'Maybe he does something wrong but the kinship between him and his sister is so precious.'

'He only wants the best for his sister, what's wrong with that?'

Everyone had their stand and difficulties during the incident.

If it was something to be blamed, then it would be the wrong fate.

"It has been so many years, don't mention it anymore. Matthew seldom visits you, why do you mention those sad things?" Marina took away his wine bottles.

"No matter how long it has been, it is true that my sister has passed away!" Jeffery drank more, he was indeed depressed, not pretended to do so.

"Matthew, don't mind that. He has a bad mood today. Don't let him drink anymore, I am afraid that he will be drunk," she took away his glass when talking.

Matthew did not say anything. Jeffery did not have a good mood but he should not drink wine, he would be drunk.

"Eat, let's eat," Marina patted Jeffery's shoulder, "Let bygone be bygone. We should pass our life well when we are alive. If Jolene knows that you still obsess with her matter, she will be worried. Do you want her to worry about you even when she is dead?"

Jeffery wiped his face and looked at Matthew and Dolores, "Sorry for showing this kind of behaviour."

The tender love of a strong man was touching.

Jeffery was such a strong man but he showed his sincere affection at the moment. Dolores was touched.

She did not know why she never saw Jolene and just met Jeffery a few times but she was suffered to see that scene.

She stood up, "I go to the washroom for a while."

She had come here before, she was familiar with the house. So, she could replace the washroom without guidance.

She entered the washroom and shut the door. She stood in front of the sink and opened the faucet. She used the water to wash her face.

The water was cold, she shivered. Then, she sobered.

She dried her face and opened the door. When she wanted to go back to the dining room, she saw Marina standing at the door and called someone. She talked while observing the situation in the dining room. She seemed to be afraid of being heard or seen.

Her volume was low.

"I have collected the glass that he has used, is it ok?"

Dolores frowned, she caught the key point instantly. The glass that Marina held was the glass used by Matthew just now.

She was shocked. 'Do they notice Matthew's identity and want to replace up the truth, so they ask them to have a meal here?'

'Their aim is to obtain Matthew's saliva and test his DNA?'

After thinking of that, she felt a sense of coldness.

'If Jeffery knows Matthew's identity, let alone their relationship would be spoilt, they will become rivals as well.'

'Jeffery hates Victoria so much, he will hate her son as well.'

'They will become rivals until then.'

'Furthermore, for Matthew, he detests Victoria. If he suddenly knows that Victoria is his biological mother, how is he going to accept it and face it?'

At that point, it would be better for everything to remain unchanged.

She calmed down and called Marina, "Aunt."

Marina hung up the call in a state of panic. She looked at Dolores nervously, "Aren't you having your meal now?"

Dolores pretended not to notice anything, "I went to the washroom just now. Why don't you eat together?"

"I am calling my son," Marina lied.

Dolores walked towards her, Marina put her hand behind her body.

She smiled and said, "The meal is getting colder. Follow me to eat together."

Marina wanted to reject her but she could not replace a suitable excuse. So, she could not help but follow Dolores to the dining room.

Marina felt uneasy, she still held the glass.

Dolores took the meal for her deliberately, "Aunt, this is delicious."

It would be awkward if Marina did not eat it, she found an excuse, "I go and get some water."

She put the glass in the kitchen when she got some water there.

Dolores observed her stealthily. After seeing Marina put down the glass, Dolores took her glass and entered the kitchen. She exchanged her glass with the one on the table when Marina was searching for another glass.

Marina was surprised when she turned around and saw Dolores, "Why do you come in?"

"I also want to drink some water," Dolores passed the glass to her.

She looked at Dolores' glass and the glass on the table. She found the glass on the table, she was relieved. She smiled and said, "Let me pour some water for you."

Dolores received the glass.

After pouring the water, they went back to the dining table.

Jeffery's emotion was not stable. He had not gotten off the topic yet.

Dolores sat beside Matthew. She looked at Jeffery, she understood why he looked so suffered all of a sudden.

'He must be afraid that Matthew is not Jolene's son.'

According to his behaviour last time, he treated Matthew sincerely.

He cherished the kinship.

Dolores sighed silently.

She sighed that the world kept changing, she sighed that God made a fool of people.

Luckily, she found it earlier, then nothing would be changed.

Jolene had passed away. If Jeffery wanted to make any DNA test, he could just extract it from the alive people.

Then, he would compare the DNA between Matthew and Victoria.

If Matthew's DNA were extracted, Jeffery would replace up the truth.

However, she had exchanged the glass, Jeffery would not be able to replace up anything.

After the meal, Dolores exchanged the cutlery that she used with Matthew when helping Marina to clean up the table.

They looked the same, no one would notice that she had exchanged them.

Marina pulled her, "No need to help me. Go to the living room now, I will clean it by myself."

Dolores pretended to be calm, "Let me help you."

"No need," Marina pulled her to the living room and did not allow her to move the things in the dining room.
