Snare of Love novel Chapter 178

In his embrace, Samuel could clearly feel that Matthew’s chest was trembling as well.

He reached out to hug Matthew. No matter how he liked Mommy Samuel could feel that he was truly uneasy and guilty at this moment.

“We’ll go to find her.” Matthew made Samuel look into his eyes, “Would you come with us?”

“Yes,” Samuel answered without any hesitation.

“But, how about Simona? If Mommy and I were not here, she would make a fuss,” Samuel said worriedly.

“Daddy!”

Simona saw Matthew and trotted out from the house, rushing over. She reached out her chubby arms and hugged his legs, “Daddy.” She raised her head, and her pink lips pouted, “Daddy, can you release Samuel and hold me?”

As she spoke, she widened her eyes and blinked, “Samuel is a man now. He doesn’t need a hug. Hug me!”

Samuel was speechless.

Matthew squatted down, holding the little girl into his arms. The little girl was in a pink dress today with a ponytail behind her head. There was short hair on her forehead, but her full forehead and watery big eyes were exposed. She wrapped around Matthew's neck tightly and rubbed his face with her face, “Daddy, you came home. Why isn’t Mommy with you? I haven’t seen her for several days. We have never parted before. I miss her so much.”

Matthew looked in distance, pressing two small hands on his chest. He tried his best to say calmly, “I’ll take you to find her.”

“Really?” Simona was a bit excited, “Is Mommy playing hide and seek with us? So we should go find her, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Whoa! I’m so happy!” Simon twisted her little body excitedly in his arms. However, Samuel wasn’t so delighted as her, “It’s so good to be a child.”

Simon heard it and turned to glare at him, “You were just born only a few minutes earlier than me. You are not that older than me. Even Grandma said you are the extra one.’

Samuel frowned, his whole face wrinkled, “Grandma said you are the extra one.”

Jessica walked out of the house. She wore an apron and put her hands in front, “You guys, come on in. Time for dinner.”

“Grandma, Samuel is the extra child, isn’t he?” Simona asked quickly to prove what she said was real.

In her opinion, whoever asked first would be proved right.

It was quite easy to read the little girl’s mind. She was simpler than her brother and she didn’t think much. Jessica teased her with a smile, “You are the extra one.”

Simona was unhappy, pouting, “Why isn’t Samuel the extra one? He’s so... hateful!”

Samuel snatched Daddy’s embrace from her.

Hence, Simona decided that Samuel was hateful.

Jessie took a glance at Matthew and said, “It was because, in the beginning, there was only one baby in your mommy’s belly. Later, another one was found. Isn’t the one found later the extra one?”

Simona wasn’t convinced, “That one should be Samuel. He is the extra one!”

“But Samuel was born first...”

“I don’t care. Samuel is the extra one.” Simona acted shamelessly. She played at being cute while wrapping around Matthew’s neck tightly, “Daddy, is Samuel the extra one?”

Matthew lifted her and rubbed her hair, “Neither of you is.”

“Come on. Let’s go for dinner.” Jessica pulled Samuel’s hand.

“I want to take them both out for a trip. Dolores is missing them.” Taking the chance that the atmosphere was lively, Matthew told Jessica that they were going out.

Jessica agreed, “OK.”

She sensed something wrong, but she thought that she had overthought.

Seeing that both kids, especially Simona liked Matthew so much, Jessica wished that he could form a family with Dolores. Hence, it was not bad for them to be together more and develop family affection.

“When will you come back?” asked Jessica.

Matthew had no idea when he would be able to find her. He said, “Not decided yet. I want to take them out for fun. I don’t want to be interrupted, so we wouldn’t contact anyone domestically.”

Jessica nodded, “I see. When are you leaving?”

“Tonight.”

“That’s so soon.”

“Yeah.” Matthew didn’t explain, as he didn’t want to waste any time.

“Go ahead to have dinner. I’ll pack the clothes for the kids.” Jessica took off the apron and walked to the kids’ rooms.

Matthew took the children to wash their hands. Simona was quite clingy to him. She wanted to remain in his arms, unwilling to get down. Matthew held her to wash and back to the dining room, letting her sit on his lap.

Coral served the dishes and asked, “Hasn’t Missus come back yet?”
