Snare of Love novel Chapter 151

Subconsciously, Dolores hid her hand behind her back.

It was an extremely important matter for her, and she couldn’t be threatened by the other party all the time.

Particularly, it would do harm to her children at any time, and she couldn’t keep calm and do anything.

“Yes. It’s quite important for me.” She said firmly. “You can go in first. I’ll be right back.”

As she spoke, Dolores turned around and strode outside.

Matthew gazed at her rushing back, squinting. He always felt that something was wrong with her as if she was hiding something from him.

As soon as Thomas saw Dolores leave, he immediately trotted over. “Why is Mrs. Dolores leaving? Mr. and Mrs. Nelson are still waiting for her inside.”

Mathew frowned at him coldly as if he wanted to freeze Thomas.

Meeting his eyes, Thomas shut up immediately.

He knew that Matthew didn’t get along with Jayden and Victoria. Probably he was angry that they didn’t inform him ahead before coming over.

At the thought of it, Thomas explained to Matthew, “It’s for your own good when Mr. and Mrs. Nelson came over this time.”

Matthew is not in the mood to listen to him.

For his own good?

He sneered in his heart. Striding into the living room, he made the temperature around him drop, emanating coldness to others.

Thomas didn’t dare to utter a beep, following him in.

In the living room, seemingly there were never so many people gathering together, making the empty room lively.

Jayden was sitting on the host’s seat, and beside him was sitting Victoria.

Jessica was sitting with the two kids on the right side. Coral was standing behind Victoria. Seeing him walk in, everyone turned to look at him.

“Why did you come back alone?” Jayden spoke first to break the ice, his voice full of uncovered excitement.

Matthew sneered. “Who else do you want to meet?”

They were the father and son, but they were always like enemies whenever encountering each other - exceptionally hateful to each other.

Jayden’s hands suddenly clenched. Tightly holding the leather on the sofa armrest, he tried his best to suppress his anger. “Am I not your father?”

“I didn’t have a choice.” Matthew sat on the sofa.

Simona stared at Matthew pitifully. If it weren’t that Jessica pulled her to stop her, she would have thrown herself into his arms as soon as Mathew came in.

On the contrary, Samuel was extremely calm as if he knew what the elders of the Nelson family had come here for.

And he knew what was on the table.

“You-” Jayden didn’t want to get angry, but he always couldn’t keep calm whenever heard his son’s sarcasm.

Victoria held his trembling hand and comforted him, “Calm down. You have a more important matter.”

“If you want to do PDA, don’t do it in my house. I’m quite busy,” he said impatiently. When he was speaking, he looked over at Simona. The little girl didn’t cling to him today, which made him a bit uncomfortable.

It seemed that he had got used to the soft little bum who always pounced at him and asked him to hold whenever he came home.

“We have something important.” Victoria grabbed Jayden’s hand tightly, stop him from getting angry because of Matthew’s words.

Jayden took a deep breath several times to suppress the anger in his chest. Pointing at the folder on the desk, he said, “Take a look yourself. Give me an explanation after reading it. Don’t try to retort me. The evidence is here. Don’t try to hide anything from me.”

Matthew didn’t move.

The father and the son looked into each other’s eyes. In the silent confrontation, a smokeless war had begun.

...

The atmosphere became quite deadlocked.

“Daddy.”

It was Simona’s sweet call that broke the ice.

“Quiet,” Jessica reminded her, patting on her shoulder.

With reddened eyes, Victoria reached out to Simona. “Come over.”

Simona widened her round eyes, looking at Matthew and then at Victoria. Then she slid from the sofa and threw herself into Matthew’s arms. She muffled in his arms, “Daddy, didn’t Mommy come back with you?”

His anger, displeasure, and coldness were drowned in Simona’s call. Matthew restrained himself and rubbed her hair gently. “You Mommy will come back soon.”

“You bastard!”

Pounding the armrest, Jayden stood up in anger.

Earlier, Coral said that Matthew didn’t know that he was the father of those children, so he didn’t tell Jayden, either. It was all right since Matthew didn’t know it himself. However, Jayden heard the little girl call him Daddy, he misunderstood that Matthew had known it.

Hence, he thought Matthew just ignored him on purpose.

He wondered if Matthew still recognized him as his father.

Simona shivered in fear, hiding in Matthew’s arms.

Matthew’s big palm stroked her back and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid.”

Simona didn’t speak, blinking only.

Coral knew that Jayden must have misunderstood something. She immediately mediated a dispute. She walked to the table and handed the folder to Matthew. “Mr. Nelson, please take a look.”

Matthew took it over, still didn’t want to take a look. When he was about to toss it away, he caught a glimpse of “DNA”.

He paused.

Whose DNA test was it?

“I collected your hair and the hair of Samuel and Simona.”

Matthew looked up at Coral.

He wondered what she meant.

Simona blinked in confusion. She asked, “Grandma Coral, why did you collect the hair of mine and my brother?”

Coral curled up her lips into a smile. Reaching out to rub her hair, she answered, “Nothing special. I just want to help your daddy see through something.”

Matthew’s gaze fell back on the paper.

It was a DNA test result report. The title drew his attention.

There were a lot of medical terminologies. Since Matthew never learned anything about it, he couldn’t understand. Then his sight slowly moved down. Feeling as if his heart was about to jump out, but it couldn’t find an exit, so it kept wandering. He couldn’t keep calm. The uncontrollable nervousness surged in his chest, almost swallowing him.

The result should that a similarity of 99.99%.

He stared at the line of the result.

Immediately, his body was stiffened. His fingers trembled, which showed the excitement that couldn’t be suppressed any longer and never had surged so heavily in his chest.

Was he the father of Simona and Samuel?

But, how could it be possible?

After a few seconds of silence, he tossed the paper. He suddenly stood up and looked at Coral, then at Jayden.

He asked ironically, “What do you want?”

He meant what they wanted to tell him by faking such a thing.

“You still want to deny, don’t you?” Jayden was so angry that he trembled.

“Even if I did something wrong to you or your late mother, am I still your father or not?” He pressed his chest. “Is there still my blood in your body?”

Victoria didn’t try to convince Jayden this time. She wanted to but couldn’t do anything.

Coral was so anxious, wondering what happened. The fact had been presented to him, but he still didn’t believe it.

She rushed to get the photo album and put it next to Samuel for comparison, showing everyone. “Look at this face, the eyes, the forehead-”

Matthew glanced over and then withdrew his gaze quickly.

He had never touched Dolores, which he was the one who knew it the most.

All through his life that over three decades, he had only slept with a woman once, which happened six years ago.

If they were his children...

Then six years ago…

Shock appeared between his eyebrows.

Instantly, he seemed to know why Maria hated Dolores so much...

It was all because of six years ago.

Maria was not the woman that night.

It was Dolores instead. That was why he always felt that he knew her for some reason.

He wondered what the heck had happened that night.

Why did Dolores appear in his room?

However, his silence had become a denial in Samuel’s eyes.

It turned out that this man didn’t want to recognize them, did he?

He wanted to continue to be the unfaithful husband, didn’t he?

Samuel squinted.

Perfect!

He didn’t like this father either.

Such a ruthless and heartless man didn’t deserve to be his father at all.

Samuel pushed away Coral. Sliding down from the sofa and picked up with the result. With a “hiss” it was torn apart by him. Seemingly it was not enough, he kept tearing it until the result became fragments. “This is just a mistake. How could I be his son?”

Samuel pointed at Mathew.

“My mother carried my sister and me for ten months. I’m turning six this year. I’ve never seen my father because I never dare to ask my mother. I’ve seen her wake up in a nightmare and sheds tears in secret. I don’t know what she has dreamed about and who appeared in the dream. I wondered if she dreamed something heartbreaking.”

Samuel sniffed and continued, “When I’m sleeping, she always apologized to me. She said she couldn’t provide us with a completed family. Actually, she didn’t know that I didn’t all asleep at all. When I’m awake, she will never say that to me. She’s afraid that I will ask her why I don’t have a father.”

He looked at Matthew in disappointment. “My mommy is such a good woman. How could it be possible that she falls in love with you?”
