Snare of Love novel Chapter 143

When the door to the study was knocked, Jayden didn’t even lift his head up. He continued to write his calligraphy and lightly said to come in.

Thomas opened the door, “Coral is here.”

Coral?

Jayden had forgotten about her existence.

Thomas reminded, “The servant Mrs. Nelson brought with her when she got married.”

Suddenly remembering, Jayden asked indifferently, “What is she doing here?”

“I don’t know, but she has a little boy with her.” Thomas thought about the child’s appearance, and said in a dignified tone, “The child may belong to Master Matthew.”

He had been in the Nelson family for a long time. He had seen Matthew when he was a child and the child outside just now looked exactly like Matthew’s childhood.

“What?” Jayden looked at Thomas in amazement, “He has a child?”

Why did he not know?

He put down his brush and walked out of the study, “Let’s go and see.”

Thinking about something, he said, “Go upstairs and call her down.”

Victoria was not feeling well for the past two days, so she was resting upstairs.

“Okay.” Thomas went upstairs.

Jayden entered the living room. Coral and Samuel was sitting on the sofa. Walking towards the sofa from behind, he could see a small head. His footsteps faltered for a moment and then his speed increased.

He wanted to see Samuel quickly.

Seeing Jayden walk over, Coral stood up.

“You came.” Jayden was very calm.

Coral nodded, “It has been a long time.”

Although they didn’t live far away, they had few opportunities to meet. The last time was when Matthew had gotten married and Jayden had called her here for questioning.

Jayden sighed feeling like the time had passed too quickly.

“This child?” He looked at Samuel, with his small white face and his bright eyes. His face and eyes…

Samuel also looked at him. Jayden had profound features, white hair on his temples and wrinkles on the corners of his eyes that were the mark of his wisdom. He was wearing a Chinese tunic and his posture was perfectly straight.

Samuel blinked his black sparkling eyes and grabbed the corner of his shirt helplessly. Was this man his grandpa?

Was he dreaming?

It felt like a dream.

Coral didn’t know how to answer, and she hesitated for a moment, “Didn’t Master Matthew got married once…”

His marriage was so short and it had been such a long time so it was a bit abrupt to mention it now.

“Yeah.” Jayden understood.

But he was still puzzled. If this child was really Matthew’s, why did she bring him over now that he was so big?

“It’s like this… Master Matthew divorced Miss Dolores at the beginning. They were born after the divorce.” Coral looked down at Samuel and patted his head, “Miss Dolores might have been upset about the divorce and so she didn’t tell him that they were his children… So, I came here thinking…”

She couldn’t say the words “you could evaluate if he really is Matthew’s child” in front of Samuel.

That would have hurt his little heart.

“They?” Jayden didn’t understand.

There was more than one?

Coral explained with a smile, “Samuel also has a little sister. They are twins.”

“What twins?” Victoria walked downstairs. Her clothes hung on her body and she looked haggard as if she was seriously ill.

“Let us go in the study and talk.” Sensing Coral’s concerns, Jayden asked the servant to entertain Samuel in the living room, “Bring him something to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.” Samuel said.

Jayden responded, “Okay, then he will show you around.”

“Okay, thank you!” Samuel really wanted to look around the mansion. He wanted to see the place his father grew up in.

He followed the servant expectantly.

Victoria walked down, looking haggard, “What are you talking about?”

Jayden supported her and asked in concern, “Are you feeling better?”

Victoria smiled faintly, “Much better. It’s nothing serious, don’t worry.”

“Do you think you are still young?” Jayden glanced at her, “We are all old!”

Victoria’s expressions dimmed dejectedly, “I think I am still very young! The day I met you feels like it was just yesterday.”
