Snare of Love

Chapter 38: The Child Is His

She had been translating documents for Matthew at the company during this period and knew that the

new project was being carried out in A Country. Moreover, the project was carried out in YL City, the

place where she had been living for eight years when she was abroad last time.

These were not the most important things.

What was important was that at the night where she prostituted herself in order to get the money for the

surgery of her brother and mother, she bit the man because she felt too painful as it was her first time.

As requested by the woman who introduced her to this way of getting money, no lights could be turned

on in the house, so the house was dark from the time she entered.

She could not see the man’s appearance. But according to the situation at that time, the location where

she bit the man was his right shoulder.

Was it a coincidence?

She could not help but take a step backward.

If it was a coincidence, how could it be so coincidental?

Furthermore, one thing she knew from the translated documents was that Matthew had gone to A

Country two months ago.

If it was true, then…

Her hand could not help but cover her belly.

Her child was his?

After this thought popped out, Dolores was also shocked.

Matthew felt that someone was obviously staring at him. What was this woman doing?

He pretended to just wake up and slowly opened his eyes. He thought Dolores was peeking at him

while he was sleeping but what he saw was a pair of eyes that blurred with tears.

He was stunned. She was crying.

Matthew woke up too suddenly so Dolores did not have time to dodge. She turned her face in a panic

and quickly ran out of the room.

Her movement was too fast and this affected the injury on her knee. She did not care about the pain

but directly ran into the room and locked the door. She leaned against the door panel. Her mood was

still in a state of shock.

It took a long time before she calmed down a bit.

Although all signs indicated that the person that night might be Matthew, there was still a chance that it

was only a coincidence.

It must be this way, it must be a coincidence.

No, it could not be true.

She slowly regained her calmness and went to the bathroom to have a shower and change clothes.

She then re-bandaged the wound on her knee.

Upstairs, Matthew was in a trance for several seconds. Just now, the woman was…crying?

What was she crying for? Why did she run?

He sat up and pressed his eyebrows. Although he was tricked last night, he did not do anything to her,

why did she show that kind of expression?

Thinking about what happened last night, his eyes darkened. He grabbed his phone on the table and

made a call to Abbott, “I don’t want to see the Flores Group again!”

“Understood.” Abbott could roughly guess what happened at the Flores family last night and therefore,

he knew Matthew was bound to give an order like this.

After hanging up the phone, Matthew threw his phone aside. When he lifted the blanket and was about

to get out of bed, he realized his entire body was only left with a pair of underwear.

Last night…he closed his eyes.

It seemed to be Dolores who helped him to change clothes while he was dazzled.

That woman…

Matthew always felt that she was like a mystery because when he discovered something, there was

still another thing about her to be revealed.

Knock knock…

Right after the sound of the knock, Coral’s voice sounded, “Young master, are you awake? Breakfast is

ready.”

Matthew answered then got out of bed to wash and have a shower. He put on clean clothes and went

downstairs.

Dolores was already in the dining room. She had changed her clothes and her expression was calm as

if nothing had happened which kinda meant that what he saw was all an illusion.

His pace slowed down slightly. He walked downstairs in his slippers step by step.

Dolores put a bowl of porridge with light taste in front of him, “Eat something that has a light taste in the

morning, it’s good for your stomach.”

Matthew sat down. He showed respect to her and sent a spoonful of porridge in his mouth. It was

indeed light as it had little taste only.

Dolores lowered her head, “I was indeed too careless last night, I didn’t expect that Beulah would do

something like that.”

Matthew raised his eyes and grinned into a smile. His bright and white teeth were eye-catching, “I’ve

seen many shameless people but the people who can be as shameless as the members of the Flores

family are very rare.”

This sentence meant that he scolded all the people by the surname of Flores.

Dolores lowered her head. Her surname was also surnamed Flores.

“Hmm…I want to take a leave of absence.” Dolores raised her head. She had to go to the hospital as

she had not gone to see her mother in the hospital for the past few days.

Also, she had to cash that cheque and saved it in her bank card. Her mother might need money for a

long time so the money would be very crucial to her.

Besides, the medical bill that Sampson helped her to settle last time and the previous ones had to be

returned to him.

Matthew had the porridge and asked indifferently without raising his head, “Anything happened?”

Dolores nodded, “I have to go and see my mother.”

Matthew gave a light um which meant that he agreed.

After breakfast, Matthew went to the company as usual. Dolores helped Coral to clean up the table.

Coral grabbed the bowl from Dolores’s hand, “Don’t need to help me, you go and rest.”

What?

Rest in the morning?

Coral glanced at her and said in a serious tone, “You have married into the Nelson family already. Last

night…you’re a legitimate wife; don’t let the mistress have a chance to take advantage of the situation.”

Dolores flushed. What was Coral thinking? Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Even though she and Matthew slept in the same room last night, nothing had happened.

Coral definitely would not believe it.

Dolores nodded helplessly.

Coral still supported Dolores although she was unhappy with Dolores’s behaviour before.

“I think the young master may not sincerely like Ms. White. Keep it up, you can definitely be adored by

the young master.”

Dolores frowned, “How do you know that Matthew doesn’t sincerely like Helen?”

“Ms. White has followed the young master for a long time but the young master does not fall in love

with her. It was two months ago that after they returned from overseas, the young master suddenly

admitted her identity. Until now I still can’t figure out why, how come he suddenly falls in love with her?”

Coral still could not figure out what was the reason.

Dolores, on the other hand, trembled. Two months ago?

She calmed herself down and asked as if nothing had happened, “You said Matthew did not like Helen

before but after returning from a business trip two months ago, he suddenly gave her the status as his

girlfriend?”

Coral nodded, “Yeah, the young master is not a blurred person. It’s abnormal that he suddenly admits

it, perhaps something had happened.”

Dolores contemplated. Helen’s animosity towards her seemed to be very intense.

Was it just because she married Matthew, or was there a hidden truth?

She could not figure it out by just thinking for a while so she could only go to the hospital to see her

mother first. Before going to the hospital, she cashed the cheque, retrieved the amount that she

needed to use, and saved the rest. Then, she went to the hospital and paid the medical bills. The nurse

brought her to see Jessica.

Jessica was locked in a small room with nothing inside. There were only a bed and a table with a

plastic cup with a half glass of water on it.

Some psychiatric patients would injure themselves without consciousness. So, before she came in, the

nurse also checked her body as she was not allowed to bring any dangerous items in.

Jessica was wearing a blue hospital gown. She was crouching at one side of the bed, mumbling

something.

Dolores could not hear clearly what she said and opened the door. Seeing Dolores come in, Jessica

raised her head and she was stunned for two seconds, “Lola.”

Although it was only a simple sentence, Dolores’s eyes reddened and she was on the verge of tears.

She rushed forward and hugged Jessica, “Mom.”

Jessica reached out and fondled Dolores’s hair, “Why did you come alone, why you didn’t bring Jeremy

to see me? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
