Snare of Love novel Chapter 354

The driver changed his route.

Dolores sat quietly, but in her heart, she was thinking about Theresa’s matter. If she sent Theresa away, Armand would definitely hunt her down.

But she was very supportive of Theresa. Regardless of what Armand said, she will not betray Theresa.

After what happened this time round, he had become a lot more mature in relationships. Both of them needed some time off to calm down and handle this relationship.

Once she had set her mind to it, her decision to send Theresa away became even firmer.

Within a short moment, the driver arrived at RO Dessert House.

She paid the driver and got down from the car.

Through the glass window, Dolores saw Victoria with the two children. They were sitting at a seat near the window and eating their snacks. She pushed open the door and walked in.

“Mummy.” Samuel greeted her when he saw her walk in.

Victoria turned around. Seeing her, she said with a smile, “The tarts here are pretty good, I’ve ordered a set for you.”

Dolores sat down and thanked her.

Victoria smiled, “Why do you even have to thank me, you’re being too polite.”

Dolores smiled in reply, and put a spoonful of tart into her mouth. The fragrance of the milk was strong but not overpowering. It was also not too sweet. It was filled with the fragrance of milk and butter, and it tasted pretty good.

The desserts here were very famous. There was even a playground at the back, hence it was very suitable for children.

After finishing their desserts, Simona tugged at Samuel, “Samuel, bring me over to play.”

Samuel gave an exasperated sigh, as if he had no choice but to agree to his little sister, “Alright.”

Victoria got the driver to follow them, “Watch the both of them.”

The driver nodded his head, and followed the two children to the playground.

Sitting by the window, they could watch the children.

Dolores took a sip of the fruit juice, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Can’t I ask you out even if there’s nothing going on?” Victoria felt that they hadn’t had a good talk for a while. Taking advantage of the weekend, she had brought the children out to play. Hence, she had invited Dolores together too.

Dolores smiled, “No.”

There was usually something going on when Victoria looked for her, that was why she had asked this.

Through the window, Victoria could see the happy faces of the children playing outside. She couldn’t help raising her lips, “In the past, I never thought that this day would come, where I can stay together with Matthew, and get along so well with his children. Even though I am a mum, but I have been taken away of the right to become a mother. I am very grateful to you.”

Victoria tugged at Dolores’ hands, “Thank you, for letting me stay together with Matthew, and together with the two children.”

“This is what I should do.” Dolores was a little melancholic, “You’ve missed out on a lot. No matter how much you have right now, it can only manage to fill a gap. But the beautiful memories you have missed, how can it be so easily compensated?”

Victoria shook her head, “I am already very satisfied now.”

She was satisfied with her current life, she had her whole family with her. She often felt as if Matthew had let go of the past, and had let bygones be bygones, and had agreed to get along with her.

“Charles has recently gotten into some trouble.” Victoria said suddenly. She turned to look at Dolores, “Have you spoken to Matthew, that it was Charles who had caused Jeffery’s car accident?”

Dolores nodded her head, “I didn’t hide this from him.”

He was too sharp.

Dolores knew, once Matthew knew that it was Charles who had done that to Jeffery, he wouldn’t let him off so easily.

After all, this was B City, it was Matthew’s territory. It would be easy to do something to Charles.

At the seat behind theirs, there was a lady who was sitting with her back to them. This lady was Marina, she was also here to try their desserts. She had been here early. She was just about to leave when Victoria brought the two children here.

Because of Jeffery and Victoria’s relationship, she hadn’t wanted to greet them. Just when she was about to sneak pass them, she heard Victoria making the phone call to Dolores.

Hence, she sat down again.

She knew about Matthew and Victoria’s relationship. Dolores was Matthew’s wife, why was she so close to Victoria?

She sat down in curiosity, waiting for Dolores to come. Now, she had heard their conversation.

Jeffery’s accident was actually caused by someone. Her heart was pounding furiously.

What’s more, both Victoria and Dolores had known about it.

Who was this person called Charles?

Marina felt so much anger within her, the car accident had actually been intentionally caused by someone.

When it happened she had been so shocked. It was lucky that she had not been in life-threatening danger, and she had only hurt her arm.

She secretly turned around to look at Victoria. When she talked about Matthew, it seemed like they had a close relationship, it also seemed like a mother talking about her son.

In the past, the reason Victoria could marry Jayden was because she had agreed to Jeffery that she would use the Forbis family business as an exchange. She had also agreed that she would not have any children with Jayden.

Could she have treated Matthew as her own son?

Marina was also a mother herself. Regardless of how kind she was, it was difficult to treat other people’s child as your own.

But through Victoria’s tone just now, it was obvious that she had treated Matthew as if her own son.

Thinking about it carefully, how much courage would it have taken by Victoria in the past, and how much love would she need to have for Jayden, for her to discard her own family heritage, and marry Jayden?

Thinking about it now, with only just love, it was seemingly not enough to make someone give up on their own family, and give up on being a proper woman.

If a woman couldn’t give birth her whole life, it was definitely a regret.

If Matthew was her child…

She didn’t dare to continue that thought. There must be so much secrets lying within this.

She pretended to take a sip of water, and continued listening.

After that, they stopped talking about Matthew, and the topic switched to the two children. Marina felt as if she wouldn’t get anymore valuable information, so she left from the back door.

After coming out from the dessert shop, she quickly phoned Jeffery.

“When are you coming back?” Her voice was a little anxious.

The doctor had wanted Jeffery to stay at the hospital to recuperate, but he didn’t want to stay long at the hospital. He had only injured his arm, it wouldn’t even affect his movement. Hence, he had been discharged. He had just finished watching the practice, and had just arrived back in his office when he received Marina’s phone call. Marina was usually a very calm and collected person, it was rare that she would phone him in such an anxious state. He unfastened the button on the collar of his uniform, and took a look at the time before saying, “About five, has your son gotten into trouble again?”

Usually when Marina was so anxious, it was most likely because of their son. Apart from their son, there was nothing much that would cause her so much anxiety.

“No, I’ll wait for you to come back before telling you. Remember to come back earlier, I’ll wait for you.” Finishing her words, Marina hung up and hailed a cab to go back home.

Jeffery looked at the phone in which Marina had already hung up. He put it down and frowned. If not for her son, what else could make her so anxious?

Jeffery was worried. Before 5 p.m. he had already reached home, and Marina was waiting at home for him.

Seeing him come in, Marina walked over, helping him to take off his jacket, “The doctor had already asked for you to recuperate. You can’t even stop when you’re injured.”

Jeffery took a look at her, ignoring her words, “What did you want to tell me.”

“I went to RO Dessert House today, and bumped into Victoria…”
