Snare of Love novel Chapter 336

Matthew wore nothing but a white bath towel.

He was naked to the waist and exposed his muscles.

Drips of water rolled down his abdominal muscles to his groin area and then to his more sexy private part.

He exuded a strong sense of masculinity with this look and his cold, handsome face.

Dolores subconsciously swallowed and turned her head to the side, “Was it an accident?”

She wanted to know if Jeffery had sensed something wrong there.

Dolores would not tell Matthew that Charles was in City B if Charles did it secretly without leaving any trace.

They could conceal the car accident as if it did not happen if Victoria could convince Charles to let go of what happened in the past and leave City B.

Nobody would be affected by this matter.

Matthew slightly lowered his eyes, “It was not an accident.”

“You mean someone did it on purpose?” Dolores raised her volume suddenly, and soon she realized that she was too excited. She tried to cover her excitement with a smile, “I'm just worried about Jeffery.”

Matthew remained silent and gazed at her indifferently.

Dolores did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head and said, “I'm going to take a shower.”

Matthew grabbed her by the wrist as soon as she moved. He spoke in a tone of command, “Look at me.”

Dolores did not raise her head and tried to get rid of him, “You're hurting me.”

“Look at me,” Matthew spoke in a flat but frightening tone.

Dolores panicked for a moment before slowly raising her head. It seemed there was a shaking, heavy hammer hanging on her heart which connected with a thin cotton thread as if it would fall at any time. She felt torturous for every second when Matthew gazed at her.

He looked stern, and his voice was getting lower and lower, “What are you nervous about?”

“I'm not nervous,” Dolores affected a calmness she did not feel.

“You seem to be concerned whether the car accident was an accident or someone purposely made it. Or you know earlier that it wasn't an accident?”

“No, I don't know.”

Dolores did not notice that an expression of disappointment flitted in Matthew's eyes. It vanished in a flash.

“I don't like it when you conceal too much from me. Distrust is the other meaning of concealment.”

Matthew let go of her hand, and he hoped that Dolores would take the initiative to tell him.

Matthew hoped that Dolores could take the initiative to tell him instead of forcing her to do it.

Dolores called to him at the moment he turned around, “I met Charles today.”

Matthew turned to her and slightly narrowed his eyes.

Soon he knew the reason why the car accident happened.

Charles had said before this that he would find out the person who imprisoned Nathan back then, and he wanted to avenge Nathan.

Charles came to City B, and it just happened that Jeffery had a car accident.

It meant that Charles found out that Jeffery was the person who imprisoned Nathan back then, so he came to City B and schemed the car accident.

Dolores hugged him, and her face pressed against Matthew's chest, “Don't pursue the matter since Jeffery is not in danger this time. Give me some time, and I'll convince Charles to leave City B.”

Matthew frowned, and he did not like Dolores to intercede for Charles.

“When did you meet each other?” the muscles in his face tautened, and he was stretching his neck straightly.

“The time you went to the hospital,” Dolores was honest with him. The relationship between herself and Matthew was unstable. She did not want to create a gap between herself and Matthew because of this matter.

Matthew recalled the situation at that time. He remembered that Dolores took the initiative to leave, and she went to Charles instead of persuading him to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

“Where did you met?”

“In the hotel.”

“What did you guys said?”

Dolores raised her head, and she felt a little heartache.

“He told me that he found out who killed his adoptive father, and he came to City B to take revenge against Jeffery.”

Dolores released her hug. She felt that Matthew was also distrustful for pushing her so hard.

Dolores lowered her eyes and fluttered her eyelashes, “You don't believe in me, right?”

Matthew held her into his arms and pinched her chin, “It's not like I disbelieve you. I don't like him tangling with you and don't like you to meet him.”

He bent towards her and put his lips on hers without a gap. He bit her lips and said vaguely, “Don't meet him again from now on.”

“But, ouch!”

Dolores was just about to speak, but Matthew suddenly increased his strength to bite her lips and caused her to frown in pain.

He pressed her on the bed.

Dolores gently struggled, “I haven't showered yet.”

“I don't mind.”

It was dim in the room when Dolores woke up. She found out that Matthew was not sleeping beside her. She took the phone from the table. Dolores double-clicked to wake the screen, and the time showed on the screen was 11.25 a.m. She sat up with a bounce and thought, “It's already noon.”

She felt pain all over her body since she sat up too fast, especially her waist and the lower part of her body.

Dolores thought that Matthew did it on purpose last night.

She got out of bed and got dressed. She opened the heavy light-blocking curtains, and the sunlight beamed through the window. It was good weather that was bright and sunny. It was like the mild days of spring.

Dolores washed up and went downstairs. There was nobody at home. Samuel and Simona went to kindergarten. Jayden went to see his old friend while Victoria went to the hotel.

Charles was surprised to see Victoria because he did not expect Victoria would take the initiative to find him.

It just happened that he wanted to talk to Victoria, and this was the opportunity.

“I apologize for coming.”

Charles smiled and said, “I treat you as my family, so you no need to be polite. Come in and talk.”

Victoria walked into the room with her bag.

Charles asked Tom to stand and guard at the door, “No one is allowed to disturb.”

Tom lowered his head and said, “I got it.”

Charles pushed his wheelchair to the room and closed the door, “Have a seat.”

Victoria sat on the sofa and said, “I don't beat about the bush, so we go straight to the point. I hope that you don't seek revenge against Jeffery for the past.”

Charles was a little surprised about her words. He did not expect Victoria did not want him to avenge Nathan.

He did not understand why Victoria would say so.

“Jeffery has imprisoned you and Nathan back then. You are the most important for Nathan and also in his heart, so I also respect you. But I can't accept your words. Since you and Nathan loved each other in the past, I think you know that Jeffery has cut Nathan's finger. I want to avenge him now. You don't support but try to stop me. I don't get it.”

Victoria's hands clenched, and her nails were scratching back and forth on the back of her hand, but she did not feel it at all.

Victoria would never forget the scene that Jeffery forced her to call Jayden while two men pressed Nathan on the table. Jeffery forced her to do so and threatened her that he would cut Nathan's fingers if she did not call Jayden.

Victoria had no choice but to do what he said in the end.

“Have you ever cared about Nathan?” what Charles wanted to know was did Victoria ever loved Nathan.

However, Charles thought that Nathan had passed away many years ago, and Victoria was not young, so he did not ask what he wanted to know.

“I cared about him, and that's why I came to you today. I think that he doesn't want you to put yourself in danger if he is still alive. Let go of hatred.”
