Snare of Love novel Chapter 289

“Hurry up and eat the meal before it gets cold,” Dolores urged once more time.

Matthew stood up and walked to the table. He raised his head and looked at her, “Aren’t you going to eat with me?”

“I only fill one bowl of rice. I’ll go outside to eat.”

“Stay here with me.” Matthew sat down and pulled her to sit on his leg. Dolores raised her head and looked at him, emphasizing once more, “Only one bowl of rice.”

“We eat together.” Matthew thought this wasn’t a problem. He took the food and brought it to her mouth.

Dolores was speechless.

“Hmm?”

Matthew brought it closer to Dolores’ mouth. The greenish-blue okra was on her lips, “Aren’t you hungry?”

Dolores mumbled in her heart. She was not a child who needed to be fed.

“You don’t want me to feed you, do you?” Matthew only needed one glance to see right through her.

Dolores said softly with her head lowered, “I’m an adult. You treat me like a child.”

Matthew ate the food that she had not eaten and put down the bowl, “You feed me.”

Dolores was speechless.

“You can treat me like a child.” He raised his head and tipped her a wink, “Feed me.”

The corner of Dolores’ eyes twitched. But obviously, if she didn’t do it, Matthew would bother her endlessly.

To get rid of him as soon as possible, Dolores picked up the chopsticks and the bowl. Then, she took a full chopstick of shrimp meat and placed it in his mouth.

Matthew opened his mouth and bit everything, including the chopsticks. Dolores tried to remove the chopsticks from Matthew’s mouth, but she couldn’t. She frowned, and just as she wanted to lose her temper, Matthew let go of the chopsticks.

“Tasty.” He gave a light smile.

Dolores stared at him, “Coral’s dishes are always tasty.”

“It tastes good because you fed me.” He put his arm around her waist. He raised his head and fed her the shrimp meat that she had just fed him, “You can try if you don’t believe.”

Dolores was speechless.

She didn’t eat. Matthew raised his eyebrows, “What? Are you disgusted by me?”

Dolores missed his gaze, “No.”

“Then you eat it.”

Dolores was speechless.

“Can you stop it…Mm…”

Her lips were gagged by his kiss before she could finish her sentence, and the shrimp meat was passed to her mouth.

Dolores’ eyes widened.

He nickered, “Isn’t it sweet?”

Dolores wanted to spit it out. Matthew noticed her movement and raised her lower jaw. The shrimp meat made its way down her esophagus. The delicate flavor spread throughout her mouth.

“Don’t be perverse.” He gave a broader smile. Dolores took a bite of rice without looking at him. Matthew didn’t tease her anymore. He had to coax Dolores if he truly enraged her.

And he wasn’t sure if he could calm her down with sweet words.

They finished all the dishes because there was only one bowl of rice. Dolores carried the plates out while Matthew went to the bathroom.

Coral was packing luggage. Jessica was bathing Samuel.

Dolores put all the cutlery in the dining room into the washbasin in the kitchen. She put on gloves and squeezed out some dishwashing liquid, and started washing the dishes.

Coral came here after she had finished packaging. She rushed in when she saw Dolores washing dishes, “You must be exhausted after spending the entire day in the car. Just put them here, and I’ll wash them. Then, you go take a bath and have a good sleep so that you don’t feel so tired.”

Dolores said with a smile, “I’m not tired.”

“Even if you’re not tired, you don’t need to wash them.” Coral drew her away and took off her gloves, “I noticed that the young master seemed unhappy. So, you go and accompany him more.”

Dolores didn’t want to go into the room. Otherwise, he would bother her again. She stood aside and took a washed apple. She pretended to be inadvertent and asked, “His mother…”

Coral raised her head and looked at her. She seemed to be to a bit astonished that Dolores brought this up so abruptly, “You mean Mrs. Nelson?”

Dolores nodded, “Can you tell me about her?”

Coral was dazed for a moment before smiling, “Sure.”

Dolores took the initiative to ask something about the young master. Does that mean that Dolores and the young master’s relationship took a significant leap when they were outside these days?

“I was following Mrs. Nelson to the Nelson family. I used to work for the Harris family as a servant. Mrs. Nelson married into the Nelson family later. The Harris family was concerned that there would be no one to care for Mrs. Nelson here, so they asked me to follow her. Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Nelson were allied in marriage. Although they didn’t have much feelings for each other, they were respectful to one another. They then had the young master. Their relationship improved significantly. Mrs. Nelson later passed away because of her illness. Mr. Nelson married Victoria not even a month after Mrs. Nelson died.

Dolores took a bite of the apple and chewed slowly in her mouth, but she thought about this matter in her mind. She felt that there were still a lot of things that couldn’t be explained.

Jolene had passed away, but Victoria said that she had previously been pregnant. Then where was the child now?

Where was the man with whom she was in a relationship?

They all vanished as if following the death of Jolene.

Coral, on the other hand, knew even less. She even had no idea that Matthew was not Jolene’s biological child.

“What do you think about Victoria?” Dolores asked again.

Coral thought for a while and said unbiasedly, “Although the time she was married to Mr. Nelson was not right, she is not a bad person. She seems like she was not in good health. She never criticized or framed the young master. She didn’t do anything beyond her bounds. And, most importantly, she didn’t have any children. I really admire her for this point. She was, after all, young at the time. It is unfortunate that a woman doesn’t have her own child for her lifetime.”

Dolores dropped her eyes, and the apple in her mouth had lost its flavor. Victoria gave her a call today to persuade her to give up on making Gambiered Canton Gauze available to the world.

At that time, she was forced by Jeffery to use the Forbis family’s family business in exchange for the marriage with Jayden due to the pressure from the Harris family in order to accompany her own child.

Even if her child didn’t know her.

Dolores was aware, and she couldn’t pretend that she wasn’t. She was not in a position to judge right from wrong at that time. However, the Harris family, who abused their power and bullied people, was out of line.

She clenched her hands. She wouldn’t regret it once she had made her decision.

Dolores still wanted to ask Coral about Jeffery.

She had stayed in the Harris family before, and she would definitely know Jeffery. She heard Jessica’s voice just as she was about to start asking.

“Lola.”

Jessica had just finished bathing Samuel. Maybe because he was tired from the car ride, he had gone to bed and slept now.

Jessica had something to say to her daughter. So, when she saw Dolores was in the kitchen, she called her.

Dolores recalled that she had something to say to her. She put down the apple and walked out, “Mum.”

“Follow me inside.” Jessica turned over and entered the room.

Dolores followed her in. After she entered the room, Jessica said, “Close the door.”

Dolores shut the door and sat by the side of the bed, and asked, “What do you want to say to me?”

Jessica clenched her hands. She didn’t know how to say it to her, or if she did, Dolores would definitely object.

“Are you and he still fine during this period outside?” Jessica decided to ease the atmosphere first before telling her.

Dolores knew who Jessica had mentioned.

She just happened to want to tell Jessica her decision, “He and I are fine. I decided to be with him.”

“Nice.” This was what Jessica wished for as well, “After all, he is the father of the two children. Perhaps your fate was destined from the beginning. You’ll return to the original point after experiencing so many things.”

They had been engaged since they were children, and she gave birth to his children accidentally.

Perhaps everything had been predestined in some way.

“Lola…” Jessica was about to say something, but she paused with hesitations.

“Mum, you say whatever you want. I’m not an outsider. I’m your daughter.” Dolores grasped her hands.

Jessica looked at her daughter and plucked up her courage, “I decided to remarry Randolph.”
