Snare of Love novel Chapter 48

His face moved closer to her, “If you dare to indiscriminately suspect me in the future, I…” He gazed at her lips, lowered his head and bit it.

She felt a sudden pain. The taste of blood spread in her mouth.

She frowned. It hurt, it really hurt. This man really bit her.

“In the future, for every time you wrong me, I’ll do this as the way of punishing you, it sounds fair right?”

Dolores lost her mind as she gazed at the man in front of her. She could not understand all his strange behaviours.

“Do you know what’re you doing right now?”

Speechless, Matthew did not know how to answer her question. Every matter that happened after he met this woman was so unexpected that he lost control of himself and became different from what he was in the past.

It was clear in his mind that this woman was not good as she was impure and did not respect herself.

But he was interested in such a bad woman and he felt like he was a real man – a man who had a normal physical reaction that a man should have when facing a woman.

His emotions were hidden and he did not show any expression.

He smiled faintly and asked, “What about you? You rushed forward to cover me from the sword without caring your own life, is it…”

As he said, his face moved even closer. When Dolores took a step backward, he would take a step forward to approach her. They were very close to each other. The smile on his face was faint, soft, gentle and could hardly be ignored, “Is it that you fall in love with me?”

That was why she was able to rush forward without concerning her own safety when the danger came?

Actually, after he turned around, he was shocked when he saw her rushing over.

Dolores turned her head and did not look at him, “Mr. Nelson is really good at joking. I’ve only known you for a few days, how will I fall in love with you?”

If she did not suspect that he was the father of the child in her belly, she certainly would not be so impulsive at that moment.

She cherished her own life as she had to survive for the sake of her mother and her child.

Matthew did not become angry. He moved back and leaned on the sofa, smiling, “Perhaps, you fell in love with me at the first sight? This can happen, right?”

He was apparently speaking to Dolores but it also sounded like he was soliloquizing.

Dolores’s hand on her leg clenched tightly but she said with a calm face, “I don’t believe love at the first sight.”

Finished speaking, she stood up and go to pour water for herself, thinking to deliberately ignore this topic. They were strangers to each other but they lived under the same roof due to fate. And now they were talking about the most indefinable word in the world, ‘love’, wasn’t it funny and ridiculous?

While drinking water, Dolores looked through the glass and gazed at the piano that was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. A dark mood came over her.

The next day.

Dolores went to the hospital to see Jessica. This time, Jessica was sober as she could recognize Dolores at the first glance. She pulled Dolores’s hands, not letting them go.

“Lola, I’m very happy that you come to see me. I miss you a lot during this period.” Jessica held Dolores’s hands so tightly that she was afraid that Dolores would disappear as soon as she released her hands.

Seeing Jessica being sober, Dolores was jubilant, “I won’t leave. When your condition becomes better, I’ll bring you to leave this place.”

After the engagement with Matthew ended, she would buy a small house and live with her mom.

“How come Dr. Herbert didn’t visit me for the past few days, is it that you’re angry with him?” Jessica more or less knew Sampson’s thought.

She liked Sampson very much and was very satisfied with his personality.

Besides, he was a doctor.

If Dolores could be with Sampson, it would naturally be great.

But Dolores was pregnant and the identity of the child’s father was unknown.

Whenever Jessica thought of the child, she would fall into a state of deep gloom.

“He has something to do so he may not come to see you for some periods.” Dolores slightly sagged her eyes. Sampson promised that he would help her to find out what happened that night. So, he should be in A Country now.

“If you weren’t pregnant, how good it would be for you to be with him. I feel he’s a very good person…”

“Mom,” Dolores hurriedly interrupted her and helped her to wear a bracelet on her wrist, “Mom, do you still recognize this?”

Jessica lowered her head, “Of course.” This was because it was her dowry. But then, she felt unbelievable so she looked up at Dolores, “How did you get this?”

“Randolph gave it to me.” There was a purpose for Dolores to come here today. She was at a loss what to do, “Randolph is in a difficult situation and he came to beg me yesterday. I don’t know what I should do.”

Dolores hated him so much that she hoped that he would die.

But after all, he was still her father even if he was a bastard. Her life was given by him.

Jessica looked down, “I don’t want you to worry about this. Don’t dwell on the past, don’t get involved with people from the past. Don’t go to hurt them and don’t forgive them too.

She understood what Jessica meant.

No matter how Randolph was, regardless of good or bad, she should not get involved with him.

“Um.”

The two of them talked for a while after that and when the visiting time ended, Dolores walked out of the room.

After coming out of the room, Dolores headed to the nurse station to ask about her mom’s situation.

“She’s so sober; doesn’t it mean that she has recovered?”

“No, she selectively forgets some matters and can remember the current matters but this situation won’t last long. This happens at an uncertain time and only lasts for a while.”

Dolores was a little disappointed as she thought that Jessica already recovered, “Then please take good care of her.”

“We will. Dr. Herbert specially reminds us about this, so please don’t worry.”

Dolores left the hospital after saying thank you.

Since Jessica said so, then she could just ignore it and let the former grudge be written off. She took a cab to the company.

In the cab, she looked out of the window, gazing at this city that sounded familiar and unfamiliar to her.

When the car passed by the building of the Flores Group, there were many people gathered at the entrance, holding banners with big letters, ‘Return my hard-earned money’.

“Stop here, please.” Dolores opened the car window and looked at the situation outside.

The driver looked back and said, “You also heard it, right? This unscrupulous businessman uses inferior materials so the building collapses before it’s done. Those owners who had already paid really had bad luck as who will dare to live in such a house? But even if they don’t want, the company won’t refund the money. At this period every day, people always gather here but it seems like there is no use. Miss, you also bought a house here?”

Dolores shook her head, “No.”

“That’s good. Many people can’t afford to buy a house in their lifetime and some are also using all their money to buy one. But such a problem occurs now, they will be really frustrated. In short, the developer is too treacherous as many people are cheated by them.” The more the driver said, the angrier he became. It sounded as if he was also a victim.

“Do you want to get off here?” The driver asked. It was a waste of time for him to stop here as he still had to do his work.

“No, let’s go.” Dolores turned her head, not looking at it.

These were none of her business.

Soon, the car stopped in front of WY Tower. Dolores paid and got out of the car. When she was about to move forward, a man in a black suit ran over, “Excuse me, are you Ms. Flores?”

Dolores turned her head and sized up the person. It was completely an unfamiliar face. She tried to search for information about this person in her mind and she was sure that she did not know him and had never seen him before.

Having been victimized last time, she was very alert and precautious. Instead of admitting her identity, she asked, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”

The driver was not panicked but was very calm instead, “I’m the driver of the madam I serve, she wants to see you.”

“The madam you serve? Dolores frowned. She saw a black luxurious car parked on the roadside.

It seemed that the person inside could sense Dolores’s gaze. The car window was slowly opened…

The driver looked in the direction where Dolores was gazing, and said, “She is the madam I serve.”
