Snare of Love novel Chapter 141

When they reached the villa and went inside, Dolores gave him the car keys, “The car is still at the hotel.”

“I’ll have Abbott drive it back.”

Hearing their voices, Simona turned her head to look at them and then quickly slid off the sofa rushing over to meet them. The one she ran to hug wasn’t Dolores, it was Matthew. She raised her head to look at him and said, “Daddy, why did you come back so late?”

She looked at him innocently with her big clear eyes, her small face looking like soft rice cake.

She looked like an angel.

Matthew picked her up and said patiently, “Your Mommy and I went for a dinner.”

Simona’s eyes lit up brightly. Wow! Mommy and Daddy’s relationship was so great.

The two of them also went on dates.

How awesome!

“Mommy, is it true?”

Dolores restrained her emotions and smiled at her, “Yes.”

“So, can I and Samuel also go out for dinner with you guys?” Grabbing Matthew’s collar in her little hands, Simona looked at him expectantly.

Matthew lowered his gaze and glanced at her little hands around his collar which was now full of creases.

He wasn’t angry; he smiled, “Depends on your mommy’s behavior.”

…?

What did he mean?

Simona didn’t understand what he meant. She blinked her round twinkling eyes and asked immediately, “What does that have to do with Mommy?”

Dolores looked slightly uneasy and somewhat embarrassed. She reached out to take Simona in her arms, “Let’s go, I will put you to sleep.”

Simona hugged Matthew’s neck tightly unwilling to go with Dolores.

Coral stood at the door of the room, “Simona has been harping the same sentence the whole day, repeatedly asking when her Daddy will be back. She refused to go to bed and kept waiting on the living room sofa.”

Matthew had denied clearly that these were not his. Coral couldn’t understand why they were so close then.

She believed that the blood was always thicker than water.

If these two children had nothing to do with Matthew, why were they becoming so close to him?

“Really?” Matthew pinched her cheek playfully and Simona lost her mind with happiness.

Shyly, she buried her face into his neck.

Coral smiled, thinking that this was really how a father and daughter relationship should be like.

“It’s late, you guys should sleep too. Samuel is already asleep in your mother’s room.” Coral said to Dolores.

Dolores nodded, “I’ll go and see.”

“Okay.” After finishing the words, Coral went back into her room.

Just as Dolores was about to open the door to Jessica’s room, Simona said, “I want to sleep with Daddy at night.”

Dolores frowned.

Without even waiting for her response, Matthew walked upstairs with Simona in his arms casually telling Dolores to, “Will wait for you to come up.”

Dolores wanted to refuse, but seeing Simona in his arms she swallowed her words back down.

She gently opened the door. The room was lit dimly with a bedside lamp. Jessica was still awake with Samuel sleeping in her arms.

Dolores walked over and checked Samuel injury first. The swelling on his face had disappeared, but his head injury hadn’t healed. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face.

“The injury is much better.” Jessica said softly, “Don’t worry.”

She was worried for Dolores.

“You have to think about yourself.” They couldn’t just live here forever.

“I know.” Dolores had thought about it. This was definitely not the place for her to stay in for a long time, but Maria was acting very hostile towards her. Dolores didn’t know what she would do next, so for her children’s safety, she had no choice but to continue living here for now.

“When the situation settles down a bit, then we will go back or find a new place.”

“It’s fine as long as you understand the graveness of the situation. I see Simona clinging on to Matthew too much. If this goes on for long, I’m afraid…”

Dolores was also worried. She reached out and held Jessica’s hand, “Mom, I am also worried, but it looks impossible to separate Simona from Matthew right now.”

At this moment, all of Simona’s attention was on Matthew, and it was impossible to take her away from him.

“I know.” Jessica understood this better than Dolores. The whole day, Simona had been talking about her Daddy like crazy.

She sighed deeply.

“It’s late, go sleep.”

“Yeah.” Dolores glanced at Samuel again.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Dolores stroked his hair before leaving the room. The living room was really quiet, and the wall clock already showed that it was midnight. She took a shower and put on her pajamas before going upstairs.

Matthew had also already showered and was wearing beige-colored casual clothes. Simona was curled up in his arms, her little hands on his chest.
