Snare of Love novel Chapter 233

Kevin had already come back before Dolores went into the mountains, in the compound were building blocks made from solid wood, and on it were placed a variety of wood carvings.

Samuel’s eyes brightened, he let go of Victoria’s hand, walked over, and reached out to pick up a pigeon wood carving. Mainly, the legs, the wings and the eyes could all move. The feathers on the body of the pigeon were carved with precision, hence it looked so vivid.

“Wow, it’s my first time looking at a wood carving.” Probably little boys were naturally interested in toys. Simona on the other hand, was a lot calmer. Apart from good food and fluffy puppets, there were seldom any toys that could attract her attention.

Kevin had never gotten married, since Victoria had married into the Nelson family, he had been staying here. Normally he would carve wood carvings to pass his time, the wood carvings on the two rows of building blocks were all carved by him. From learning it, to now being good at it, he had spent a lot of time. Regardless of those flying in the skies, swimming in the water, or running on ground, he could carve them out vividly, as if once a soul is given to them, they would come to life.

Samuel’s eyes were dazzled, he felt that every little animal was so adorable, so vivid, wanting to pick each of them up to fiddle with and examine them closely.

Seeing that Samuel was happy, Kevin also laughed out loud.

“How is that fun.” Simona pouted, as if these had all been prepared for her brother, and she had been left with nothing.

The little girl pouted, very unhappy.

Dolores ruffled her little girl’s hair, and raised her head to look at Victoria, “This kid, likes to compare herself with her brother.”

Victoria laughed, feeling that this was a natural tendency for children, innocent and bubbly, without any worries.

“Aww, is Simona jealous of her brother?” Kevin teased her, his face filled with laughter, the creases around his eyes deepened, but he was still friendly.

Simona pouted her pink lips, “You prepared so many fun things for Samuel, but not me.”

“What do you like?” Kevin asked.

Simona cocked her head and thought for a moment, “I like to eat pudding, red bean cake, honeydew flavored chocolate…”

Simona rattled out a list of food.

Dolores, “…”

“This kid…” Dolores knew that her daughter was a little glutton, but she had never thought that when being asked what toys she liked, she would also answer with food.

“The food you are talking about, I don’t have them here, but…” He walked over to the large plane tree in the lawn. In this weather, the leaves were a pale yellow, lush and thick.

Two ropes that were as thick as a braid hung down from the branches, something unknown was hanging on it, covered with a red cloth.

“I also prepared toys for Simona, but I don’t know whether you will like it.”

The little girl was very excited, running over quickly, “What’s it, what’s it, I want to see.”

“You open it yourself.” Kevin was feeling a little worried inside, afraid that this kid will not like the ‘present’ he had prepared specially for her.

Simona clutched the red cloth and tugged at it, when the red cloth fell on the ground, under it hung a huge white swan, its two wings were tied by rope, and on its body was dug out a groove, and behind it was a seat with a back.

“I want to sit on it.” The little girl clutched it, “I have never sat on a big swan swing before.”

Kevin held her up, and let her sit on the seat made with special materials. The big swan was carved with a giant tree root, and then brushed with white paint.

Even though it wasn’t something special, but he had spent a lot of effort on it.

“The big white swan will be flying.” The swing moved, as if the white swan was flying.

Simona yelled in excitement, she hugged the neck of the swan, sitting on her body, flying into the skies.

Dolores and Victoria sat on the rattan chair in the lawn, on the table was a water bottle, all these were prepared by Kevin.

Seeing that the two kids were happy, Victoria also felt happy. This place was not as noisy and busy like the city, it was plain and quiet, it was definitely what everyone aspires to live like.

She looked over to Dolores, “Look at how happy they are, there’s no elegant appearance, no high-tech manufacturing, it’s so simple, but they can have so much fun.”

Dolores looked at her two children and sighed, “Exactly.”

Looking at her two happy children, the corner of her lips couldn’t help but raise.

“The Nelson family has been having a single son for the last three generations, their mansion and their empire is huge, but their members are not. Look, even though it’s a big family, but there are not many people in the family. I know, giving birth to them must have been tough, but if possible, I hope I can ask you for one more, I can help you…”

Halfway through her sentence, she choked, Matthew would perhaps not allow her to take care of them.

Unconsciously, her expression dimmed.

Dolores understood her meaning, and knew why she stopped in her words. In it were hidden with so much bitterness, only those who had experienced it would understand.

In the past she had said that she couldn’t give birth, it was to purposedly lie to Matthew. However, the car accident, added with giving birth to the two of them, had indeed really been detrimental on her health. The doctor had said that it was best if she stopped giving birth, and even if she was pregnant, it would be hard to keep the baby. Her body was weak.

Even though her relationship with Matthew was getting better now, she hadn’t thought of giving birth to another child. But she didn’t want to reject Victoria, “I will think about it.”

Victoria sat in the lawn that she had lived in in the past, looking at her grandchildren, and her understanding daughter-in-law. She felt that she was indeed lucky, and very blessed.

“I have something to ask of you.” Victoria looked at Dolores seriously.

“Please tell me.”

Victoria took Dolores’ hand and put it in her palms, “I would like to ask you to take care of him, if he did anything wrong, please forgive him once, and don’t leave him.”

Dolores couldn’t bear to reject a mother. She was also a mum herself, she knew how important a child is to a mother.

But she didn’t dare to make empty promises, and she didn’t want to disappoint Victoria, “If he doesn’t bring up leaving first, I will not leave him.”

For the two children, she would not leave him easily as well.

All parents in the world are the same.

At night, Victoria prepared a hearty meal, it was all the specialty dishes here, and some was prepared based on the preferences of the children.

“Go back once you finished the meal.” Even though Victoria couldn’t bear to see them leave, but she also didn’t dare to keep them for too long, she was afraid that Matthew would be suspicious.

Dolores had initially intended to let the two children spend more time with Victoria. She had missed Matthew growing up, she wanted the two children to get closer to her, so as to compensate for the past. But what she said made sense. Matthew wasn’t someone that was easy to trick, if he found out about this, it would be very troublesome.

“If there’s a chance in the future, I will bring them to see you.” Dolores said.

Victoria filled some dishes for the children, “I’m afraid the next time we meet it wouldn’t be here anymore.” She looked towards Dolores, “I will go back tomorrow, how about you guys?”

“I might be staying for a few more days.” She was already very interested in yarn, now that she knew it was the Nelson family’s business, the more she wanted to learn it well.

Now Kevin hadn’t passed on the core business to her, she was afraid she couldn’t leave first.

There were a lot of them, so it would take long.

It would definitely take a few days.

After dinner, the sky had already darkened, the driver sent Dolores and the children back.

Victoria instructed the driver, “Drive slowly.”

“Don’t worry madam.”

The driver was an old member of the Nelson family, his skills were good.

Samuel and Simona squeezed by the car window, waving their hands at Victoria, “Goodbye nanny.”

Victoria also waved her hand, “Goodbye.”

The car moved silently, and Victoria followed. Kevin pulled her back, “It’s not like you won’t see them anymore, can you still follow the speed of the car?”

Victoria looked at the car that had left, sighed, didn’t continue following, but still watched on stubbornly.

In the car Dolores hugged her two children, “Samuel, Simona, mummy has something to ask of you both.”

“What’s that?” The two children asked together.

Dolores cradled the two children’s faces, “The fact that we came to visit nanny today, you can’t let daddy know.”

“Why?” Simona asked.

“Just listen to mummy.” Samuel hugged his sister, “We have to listen to mummy, if not mummy will get mad.”

Simona nodded her head obediently.

Kids can coax themselves easily.

After a while, the car stopped at the road behind the back compound.

In the dark was a shadow, looking at the car that was rolling over. Dolores pushed open the car door to get off the car, the driver also followed, “The road here is dangerous, I’ll send you in.”

Dolores rejected, “No need, you go back first, it’s just a short distance.”

She was afraid that it would catch the attention of others.

“Alright then, you be careful.”

“Okay.”

Dolores carried her daughter and held her son’s hand, following the small route to the back compound.

She sent the two children to the front compound, there was no place to stay at the back compound.

Armand, Boyce and Charles were playing cards in the compound, should be trying to pass time in the boring village night. After all they were all from the city, being here in the quiet village night was a little boring.

She didn’t see Matthew.

“Are Samuel and Simona back?” Theresa was initially watching them play cards, seeing that the two children are back, she walked over.

“Sister-in-law is back.” Boyce put down the cards in his hands.

Dolores smiled, “Yes, you guys continue, don’t need to entertain me.”

“Alright then.” Boyce continued by picking up his cards.

“Theresa, help me bring the both of them to Matthew.” Dolores wanted to have some quiet time to herself, in a short span of two days, it was as if a lot of things had happened. She wanted to rearrange her thoughts.

The front compound was safer than the back, there were security guards in front. What’s more Boyce was a reliable person, she thought that Matthew should be in the house, she was also relieved to hand them over to Theresa.

“Alright, I will hand them over to Mr. Nelson.”

Dolores gave her a smile, turned around to close the back compound door. She walked to the room door and pushed open the door, there were no lights in the house, she was also lazy to turn it on. She could better calm herself in the dark.

When she closed the door, she was suddenly hugged by someone from behind her. Her face changed suddenly, “Who…”

Before she could say anything, her mouth was clasped shut.

Her body was locked tightly, unable to move at all.

She was very afraid, wanting to scream for help, but her voice turned out muffled in the palms of the person.
