Snare of Love novel Chapter 312

Dolores Flores blushed when she inexplicably heard something charming. She deliberately changed the topic, “Are we going to bring the both of them over?”

“Mhm.”

“Then I’ll go change their clothes,” Dolores turned around and went downstairs. It was as if she was running away from him.

After she changed the children’s clothes, Dolores tied Simona Flores’ hair. The little girl’s hair was a bit wavy. If she didn’t tie it up, it would look frizzy. After she tied it up in a ponytail, she looked prettier with a full forehead. Her little face was extremely sophisticated. She looked more like Matthew Nelson now that she had grown older. The outlines of her tiny face were extremely clear and sharp.

After she tied her daughter’s hair, Dolores let her wear a Chinese cotton-padded jacket. Victoria Forbis prepared it for her for the new year. The red color looked extremely festive. The combination of Chinese and modern craftsmanship was unique. The Chinese knot buttons slanted across the placket, and a flawless round white jade pendant hung on the first Chinese knot button. A Chinese knot with tassels was wrapped in the middle of it. It looked extremely exquisite.

Simona looked like a doll after she put it on. Her skin was like porcelain, and her eyes were big, bright, and lively.

Samuel Flores’ clothes were also prepared by Victoria. However, it was exactly opposite to Simona’s. His clothes had trendy elements for a gentleman.

He wore a beige wool sweater with a white shirt inside. He also wore a small suit and trousers with a dark coat on the outside. He looked like a western gentleman.

“Where are we going, mommy?” Samuel stood in front of the mirror to see what else was wrong with him.

“We’re probably going to meet someone,” Dolores was also not sure that he would bring her to see Jeffery Harris since Matthew didn’t say anything.

Samuel blinked and looked at Dolores, “Mommy.”

“Hmm?”

Dolores picked her daughter off the bed. She already wore her leggings, so she just needed to wear her shoes later.

“Will grandma come celebrate the new year with us this year?” Samuel asked.

He grew up in an environment where Jessica Lennon and Dolores were the only ones at home since he was a child. It had been a long time since he had seen Jessica, so he missed her a little bit.

“Yeah, mommy. How about grandma?” Simona stood beside Dolores’ legs and pulled the edge of her shirt.

Dolores felt upset every time she thought of Jessica. Up until now, she still couldn’t understand why Jessica did that.

“I’m afraid she won’t have time to celebrate the new year with us,” Dolores held the two children’s hands and deliberately said, “Come on, go wear your shoes.”

She didn’t know how to tell the kids the situation regarding Jessica. She could only avoid it since she wasn’t willing to face it.

Matthew walked out of the study room in a suit with a coat over his arm. It looked like he had talked to Jayden Nelson already.

“Are we going now?” Dolores asked.

Matthew lowered his head to look at the time and faintly grunted in agreement.

“Then I’ll go put their shoes on,” Dolores took the two children and walked to the entryway to help them wear their shoes.

Matthew wore his coat and took Dolores’ down coat from the clothes rack. He waited until she finished helping the kids wear their shoes and gestured her to wear it.

Dolores put her arms into the sleeves. Matthew helped her zip it up and put her collar close together. When he saw the bracelet on her wrist, he reminded her, “Don’t let it show when you take off your coat.”

Jeffery wasn’t very friendly toward Victoria. If she wasn’t protected by Jayden, no one would know how hard Jeffery would make things for her.

Although he wasn’t sure whether or not Jeffery knew that this belonged to Victoria, he still shouldn’t let Jeffery see it to prevent Dolores from giving him a bad impression.

Although the two families rarely contacted each other after Jolene Harris died, but the Harris family was good to him after all.

So he didn’t want Dolores and the Harris family to settle unhappily just because of Victoria’s matter.

Dolores pulled her sleeves down and pretended to casually ask, “Is your relationship not good with Forbis family?”

Matthew stayed silent for a moment, but in the end, he still didn’t say anything.

However, Dolores saw through it. They must not have a good relationship, or else Matthew wouldn’t remind her of such a small thing.

She took a deep breath. She felt a bit uneasy inside.

It was cold outside. Matthew held Simona in his arms and pressed her head under the coat to prevent the cold wind from blowing into her face.

The driver opened the door of the car, and Matthew put the little girl inside the car. Samuel didn’t want to be held, so he climbed inside by himself. It was very spacious inside the car. It didn’t look crowded even when they were seated.

The driver steadily reversed out of the garage and drove into the road.

A strong gust of wind blew over outside. Even the sun in the winter couldn’t beat the chilly northwest wind.

After around more than forty minutes, the car finally parked in front of an old house.

The driver went down to open the door of the car. Matthew went down of the car first and picked his daughter up, then Dolores and Samuel followed after.

One could see a clear and entire view of the house by standing in front of it. Although they could see that it was renovated before, they could still feel that this house had been around for some years already. However, when they entered a while ago, she noticed that there were soldiers guarding the entrances and exits.

The house here might be old, but the people who could live here were of high status.

Jeffery wasn’t eligible to live here base on his rank. This house was distributed by the heads during Terrell Harris’ time. Jeffery took it over after he died. Although his rank wasn’t as high as Terrell’s, his rank now wasn’t low either. Additionally, it was an old house from his father’s generation, so the heads didn’t ask him to move away.

Although it wasn’t as flourishing as high-rise buildings here, the people who could live here had high status.

The driver went up to ring the doorbell, and someone quickly came to open the door.

A woman that didn’t look very young with her hair tied to the back of head and an apron around her waist stared at Matthew and the people with him from head to toe as soon as she saw them. Then, she smiled and said, “Come on in. Quick, it’s cold outside.”

Matthew slightly nodded. He held his daughter in his arms in one hand, and held Dolores’ hand in the other. He was afraid that she might feel restrained and uncomfortable coming here.

Dolores turned her head and glanced at him. Then she silently averted her gaze.

The woman smiled as she spoke, “Your uncle said that you’re coming, so he asked me to go grocery shopping early in the morning. He has been sitting in the sofa waiting for you for a long time already.”

Matthew politely apologized for bothering them.

That was just how he was. In fact, he actually had a good relationship with them here. He was just not a warm and friendly type of person.

This woman was also used to it already. She continued enthusiastically, “They are the two children, right?”

Matthew grunted in agreement.

After Mrs. Harris looked at Samuel, she looked at Matthew. She felt like he was a complete carbon copy of his father. They look too similar.

They actually didn’t look that alike before, but they looked more alike as they grew older. Even Simona looked more similar to him, too.

“He looks so handsome. He’s a really lovable child,” Mrs. Harris smiled, “Ah, look, you already have children. Yet Noah still only knows to play all day long. Your uncle was extremely worried of him.”

“Is he not coming back this new year?” Matthew subtly asked.

Noah Harris was Jeffery’s only son. He was extremely rebellious since childhood. If Jeffery asked him to hit the dog, he would definitely go catch the chicken. If he asked him to go south, he would definitely go north. He was extremely rebellious.

At first, Jeffery wanted him to serve as a soldier and be his successor, but he didn’t want to. He applied to a foreign university and left them. However, he wasn’t even able to apply his specialization, since he became an idol celebrity.

Jeffery looked down on celebrities. He felt that celebrities were almost like the clowns back then. However, his son deliberately wanted to do the exact opposite. The more he disliked something, the more he would do it.

He was doing quite well now and quite popular. However, since he changed his stage name and Jeffery didn’t allow the people who knew this to tell anyone about it, almost no outsiders knew that his son was a celebrity.

Once they entered the house, Mrs. Harris closed the door to leave the cold wind outside. It was warmer inside the house.

Dolores looked inside the house and saw a man sitting on the sofa. The newspaper in his hand blocked all sights away.
