Snare of Love novel Chapter 323

Coral never got married in her life. She knew what went on between couples, but she didn’t know that they would be this crazy about it.

Everyone, including Matthew Nelson, looked toward her, “Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?”

Coral spoke ahead of Dolores Flores before she was able to say anything, “She slipped while she was taking a shower. Her waist was covered in bruises. I saw it when her sweater rolled up while she was eating. If I didn’t see it, she would definitely not say anything.”

“Are you okay? Why don’t we go to the hospital for a checkup?” Victoria Forbis asked in concern.

“I’m fine. I’m fine,” Dolores forced out a normal voice to talk to Victoria.

At this moment, she just wished the ground would swallow her up. She didn’t want to face anyone.

Matthew thought, did she trip last night?

How did he not know about it?

“Let’s go. It’s getting late already,” Dolores helped Samuel Flores wear his clothes. She deliberately changed the topic.

Matthew’s eyes fell on her waist. His lashes trembled as if he understood the reason.

Victoria was still worried. She went beside her and asked in a whisper, “Are you really alright?”

Dolores didn’t dare raise her head. She replied while helping her son wear his shoes, “I’m really fine.”

Victoria could see that Dolores didn’t want to talk about this.

Only Coral couldn’t see that Dolores kept on avoiding this topic. She asked again, “Is the bathroom upstairs not slip-resistant? It won’t do if it’s not. It would be slippery.”

“They are slip-resistant,” Victoria said. They actually used quality slip-resistant materials. Thus, she shouldn’t trip. It might be an accident that Dolores slipped.

Victoria didn’t think of other things.

Coral still couldn’t understand it. How did she trip when it was slip-resistant already?

“Alright, let’s go out now,” Jayden Nelson yelled.

Everyone wore their coats and walked out of the room one after another. The wind whooshed outside. It creaked as they walked on the snow.

Even Simona Flores didn’t want Dolores to hold her anymore. She lay obediently in Matthew’s arms.

Maybe the snow lit everything up. The sky was already dark, but it still looked bright.

Several cars drove out of the villa one after another.

The tires rolled on the white road with criss-crossed marks.

The place was reserved by Jayden. It was a large private room big enough for 20 people. Back when Matthew didn’t come home to celebrate the new year, the house helpers and drivers would eat with them. The people who stayed with them at home were the same as their own family.

It also looked more lively like that.

Jayden was extremely happy this year. He couldn’t even remember how long it had been since he spent the new year’s eve with Matthew.

After the group of people sat in their seats, the waiter walked inside to ask if they wanted to serve the foods now.

Before Jayden could say anything, Simona spoke ahead of him, “Serve them. I’m hungry already.”

The waiter smiled and asked Jayden for his opinion, since she was a child after all.

Jayden waved his hand, “Whatever my granddaughter says.”

The waiter said okay and walked out of the private room. After a short while, waiters walked one after another and filled the huge turntable with delicious foods.

Simona was starting to drool already, “Wow, it smells so good. I want to eat it.”

She couldn’t wait to taste them already.

“Before we start eating, I have a few things to say,” Jayden suddenly spoke. He let Victoria take out the things he prepared.

“Six years ago, I wasn’t able to take care of them since I didn’t know that I have a grandson and a granddaughter. I’m really sorry for that. Of course, I also need to thank Dolores who gave birth to them and raised them.”

Jayden signaled for the waiter to pour the wine. The waiter understood him. He walked to Dolores’ side with a wine flagon in his hand and filled her glass for her.

“Here’s to you for the first toast,” Jayden raised his glass.

Dolores was shocked. She stood up as she held the wine glass with both hands, “You’re being too serious. I did all of these willingly without any complaints. I’m not worthy of your toast. I’m a junior, so I should be the one giving a toast to you.”

Dolores drank first. She drank the entire glass of white wine in one shot. It was so spicy that her throat burned like it was on fire.

She covered her mouth, “I’m not good at drinking.”

Matthew put food on her plate, “Take a bite to ease it down.”

Jayden waved to let her sit down.

Dolores put the food Matthew placed on her plate into her mouth. Then, she swallowed it after chewing it roughly.

Jayden was in a good mood. He was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. She was the one who made Matthew willingly come home and gave birth to two lovely kids for the Nelson family.

He took the two envelopes from Victoria, “These are my shares in the company. I divided it into two, one for Samuel and another for Simona.”

The company was being managed by Matthew. He still had shares, but he was giving it to the two kids now.

Dolores stood up again, “They are still very young. They can’t accept something as valuable as this.”

Jayden didn’t allow her to reject him, “I’m giving this to the two children. I already signed the documents. You can keep it for them since they are still young right now.”

Jayden handed the folder to Dolores, but Dolores didn’t dare accept it, “This…”

“Why? Are you despising that it’s too little?” Jayden pretended to be angry. This was half of WY Group’s shares, yet she wasn’t tempted at all.

Deep inside, Jayden was nodding secretly. The people around Matthew must be staid and be able to resist temptations. Seeing this, he was also completely relieved.

“No, it’s because the two kids are still very young. They don’t need these. I can understand your gesture, and I also appreciate it. But this is too heavy for them. I really can’t decide on this for them,” Dolores still didn’t dare take it. That was half of WY Group.

If she took it, the two children would own half of the WY Group. Though it was for the two children, they were just six years old. They probably didn’t even know what these were. As their guardian, she had the right to keep it for the two children.

However, she couldn’t take it for that reason.

If he gave it to them after the two kids grew older, she wouldn’t stop them. They were part of the Nelson family’s bloodline after all.

Matthew took it for Dolores. The Nelson family didn’t have a lot of descendants. During Jayden’s generation, there were two brothers. Jayden had a brother, but he died when he was a teenager. Tracing back, there were actually two brothers in the generation of Jayden’s father. Jayden’s father was the eldest, while Jayden’s uncle was the second son who wasn’t good at doing business. They opened two branches of the company for him, but both closed due to bankruptcy.

Later on, he also realized that he wasn’t suited for that, so he gave up. He didn’t work and just received money with the shares he had from the WY Group.

Later on, he actually had a son. He was in the same generation as Jayden. According to the lineage, he could have half of the shares of WY Group.

However, he was sterile. He was born with necrospermia. He spent a lot of money trying to treat this disease everywhere. In the end, he was still not cured. He was a little younger than Jayden and was still alive now. However, because of his body condition, he was antisocial and never interacted with Jayden.

He still had 20% of the shares.

The rest were the 50% with Jayden and the 30% with Matthew.

The 20% that was scattered outside had almost no use. The only use was that he could receive 20% of the assets. 20% of the company’s annual profit would also be credited into his bank account.

Although he didn’t have children, he didn’t spend his life for nothing. He was quite carefree when he was young. Although he wasn’t young anymore, he still had fun as usual since he still had money.

Matthew put food on Dolores’ plate, “Don’t worry. Just take it.”

Dolores mumbled, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take your position away?”

She quietly whispered, but Matthew still heard her. He leaned over and spoke to her in a volume she could only hear, “It’s all yours. I’m all yours, too.”
