Snare of Love
Chapter 478 Don’t Want to be Too Far Away from Him

Oscar didn't immediately say how old he was. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "How old do you think I am?"

He fixed his collar and adjusted his facial expression while he was talking. He wanted to make himself look as young as possible.

Samuel Flores blinked his eyes and deliberately said a younger age, "Thirty?"

Haha

Oscar laughed out loud. He was delighted by these words.

Simona Flores, who was standing next to Dolores Flores, changed her expressions again and again. Then, she finally looked at her brother with a funny face. Wouldn't it hurt to say such a lie? Thirty?

Double of the thirty was more like it.

"You're good at this, kid, but thirty is a little too young. Just say forty next time since men supposedly become mature and successful at forty."

Samuel looked at him silently, but he was rolling his eyes in his mind. How could there be such a shameless person? Mature and successful? He looked more like an old piece of trash.

Oscar didn't continue to joke with Samuel. He looked at Dolores seriously and respectfully said, "I'm Oscar."

As he spoke, he took out a leather wallet from his pocket to show her his IDs, "This is my identity card, my driver's license..."

However, Dolores didn't take them. She just glanced at them. The words 'Oscar' were indeed written on them, so she apologized for her distrust a while ago, "I'm really sorry for that before. I'm being more careful since I have two children with me. Please forgive me."

Oscar quickly waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine. Let's go up. This is not a place where we can talk."

Dolores nodded and followed him into the elevator as she held the two kids.

After Oscar pressed the button of the floor, he lowered his head to look at Samuel, "What should I call you?"

"My name is Andrew Nelson," Andrew pointed at his younger sister, "This is my younger sister. Her name is Amanda Nelson."

Their surname was Nelson?

He seemed to remember that this was the surname of the family of Jolene Harris' husband.

He glanced at Dolores and muttered, "Oh." Then he continued to say, "You came from City B, right?"

Although it was a question, it was already in an affirmative tone.

Dolores said, "Yes."

Oscar put away his cheeky expressions and became serious. At this time, the elevator stopped, and he walked out first, "Come down. This is the office area."

Dolores walked down as she held the kids.

Oscar led them to his own office and directly asked her, "You must have something you want to ask for help from me since you came to look for me."

He opened an exquisite iron box on the table and took out a piece of cigarette. He put it into his mouth and lighted it up.

"Uhm, sorry. I have something to ask you. I'm a bit disgusted by the smell of smoke. Can I speak with you first?" Dolores slightly frowned. She was sensitive to the smell of smoke because of her pregnancy. Oscar looked at her for a while, then he looked at his cigarette that was about to be lit. Finally, he took it off from his mouth, put out the fire, and put it into the box. He posed a posture suggesting 'please' to Dolores, "Let's sit down and talk."

Dolores nodded. She patted her son on his shoulder and whispered, "Take your sister to play at the door. Don't go too far."

Andrew thoughtfully held his younger sister's hand and walked out of the office.

As Oscar watched the two kids leave, he also had a guess on Dolores' identity.

Before Dolores could speak, he said, "The only one who knows my identity is probably just Jolene's daughter. I originally wanted to raise her for her after she gave birth to my friend's daughter. However, she said that she wanted to let the child grow up normally, so she didn't give her to me."

His showy face looked less impatient and became steadier. However, it was as if his cigarette addiction came by. He wanted to take a cigarette, but he stopped when he remembered that Dolores was disgusted by its smell, "I only watched over this place because she might come here one day. If she never comes here in this lifetime, everything in here will be donated after I die."

He only existed to wait for a person he wouldn't know whether or not would show up. After more than twenty years, she just suddenly showed up.

As he looked at Dolores' eyes and brows, his eyes slightly teared up, "You look more like your father."

Perhaps he felt more emotional talking about people and matters from a long time ago. He stood up since it felt wrong and uncomfortable in any postures.

Dolores took out that locket from her bag. She opened it and put it on the table, "I came to look for you because I wanted to know about them."

She wanted to know what happened to Jolene's death and her father.

When Oscar saw what was on the table, he lowered his head to take a look. After he saw what it was, he bent over and picked it up. He carefully studied the people inside and smiled, "My friend is still that handsome."

Admiration and pity gleamed through his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at Dolores, "You just need to know that this man is your father and that he is a good person. As for what happened before, I already forgot about it. It's been too long ago."

He put the locket down as he spoke. He deliberately changed the topic since he obviously didn't want to tell Dolores, "Did you just arrive here in C city?"

His responsibility in his life was to take care of his friend's only child.

He didn't want to mention the dark past. This was also Jolene's wish. She told him at that time, "I want our child to live a normal life. I already arranged everything for her. Don't try to replace out her whereabouts. It nothing went wrong, she might never show up. If something goes wrong, just let her know that her father is a good man."

Jolene thought that she could successfully grow up as Jessica Lennon's daughter and marry into the Nelson family. Based on what she knew about the Nelson family, her daughter would live a good life marrying into their family. If nothing went wrong, she wouldn't come here to look for Oscar.

This was what Jolene told him at that time.

This was also the reason why he stayed and guarded here and never went to City B to look for Dolores' whereabouts.

Dolores could see that he wasn't willing to say it, so she was a bit disappointed. She reached her hand out to take that locket and put it back into her bag. Then, she stood up, "Sorry for bothering you today." Oscar quickly smiled and said that she didn't bother him, "You must have encountered some problems since you came to look for me. Go ahead and just let me know."

Dolores just came to this city for the first time, so she was indeed not familiar with it. She chose to come here with a lot of considerations in mind. On one hand, she wanted to hear about Jolene. On the other hand, she didn't want to be too far away from Matthew Nelson. She also had another very important thing to do.

She felt that perhaps this was her destiny. The Harris family led to the downfall of the Forbis family. Yet, she had acquired the skills passed down by the ancestors of the Forbis family. She wanted to stay busy while she was here.

"I want to live in this city. Those two kids a while ago are my children. After some time, they would have reached the age to attend grade school. If it's possible, I'd like to ask you to help me replace a good school in this city. I just came here, so everything here is new to me. Sorry for bothering you."

"No, it doesn't bother me. It's no big deal. Just leave everything to me," Oscar immediately waved his hands. Then, he asked in concern, "You brought the two kids to replace me, but where is the father of your children?"

He indirectly asked. Although Jolene didn't directly tell him how she arranged for her child, he was able to guess a little after hearing those two children's surname.

Dolores didn't want to tell him about it. To be exact, she didn't want to mention this to anyone.

Oscar was also an observant person. Dolores obviously didn't want to talk about this, so he took the initiative and said, "It's almost noon already. Let's go eat first, then I'll arrange an accommodation for you." Dolores said okay and continued to ask, "How should I call you?"

He didn't look young anymore, so it might be impolite for her to directly call him by his name. However, she also didn't dare to hastily call him by any name.

"I am your dad's friend. Just call me Uncle." Oscar was in his carefree and cheeky look again.

After he spoke, he explained again. "My name was originally Peter. I changed it to Oscar later on."

He changed his name and retreated here after that incident.
