Snare of Love novel Chapter 543

Dolores Flores averted her eyes without looking at him, lowered her head and asked, “What happened?”

“The stuff of your uncle, Jeffery Harris,” Oscar Adams said.

As Jolene Harris was his elder brother’s woman, thus he knew something about her. He had initially promised Dolores to investigate Matthew Nelson’s affairs, but he ended up knowing about Jeffery’s affairs.

He had no idea about the feud between Jeffery and Matthew, and he only knew that something had happened to Jeffery.

As Jolene’s daughter and Jeffery’s niece, Dolores should have been informed or given help.

Matthew also heard Oscar’s voice on the other end as he was close, then he looked at Dolores and wanted to see what her expression was, whether she was unhappy about Jeffery’s matter. However, he couldn’t see her expression at that moment since she lowered her head.

She had already seen the news and her mood swings had long passed. Moreover, even if she had any emotions, she wouldn’t have shown it with Matthew around.

She moved her feet and took two steps towards the roadside to distance herself from Matthew. She didn’t intend to stay away from him, she just didn’t want him to hear Oscar’s voice.

She still kept her head down, looked at her toes and said, “I know it. Don’t ask any questions and don’t interfere. I’m not in City C. Please help me to look after the things of the factory.”

“He is your uncle …”

“Uncle.” Dolores interrupted him and obviously didn’t want to talk about this topic.

Oscar wasn’t stupid and he understood her rejection. He paused for a moment.

Then he changed the topic, “Where do you go since you’re not in City C?”

“I attend my friend’s wedding. I’ll be back soon.”

“Well, I’m here, don’t worry.”

Dolores said, “Um, I’m going to hang up then.” She just hung up the phone after she heard his response. She put it back into her bag, raised her head and met his eyes. He was looking at her and his deep eyes looked obscure.

It seemed like he was probing, but also like he was pretending to be indifferent.

Just now she was standing close to him, so he must have heard what Oscar said.

She was afraid that he would misunderstand and explained, “I received those photos and was afraid that it was someone intended to deal with you, so I asked him to inquire about you.”

That was why she knew something about Jeffery, but she didn’t talk about it as he was a barrier between them. Once mentioning his name, both of them would feel uncomfortable.

Matthew pursed his lips and he knew what she was worried about. He also didn’t want to mention it as he didn’t want to ruin the mood because of someone who didn’t matter.

He smiled and asked, “So are you worried about me? Are you afraid that I’ll be in danger?”

Dolores glanced at him, “I’m worried about the two children as they’re with you.”

He came over and put his arm around her shoulders, “Is it so hard to admit that you’re caring about me?”

She turned her face away, but he didn’t allow it and turned her face to look at him, “Say, did you miss me?”

“No,” she deliberately denied it.

In fact, she had missed him a lot during this time.

She missed him very much.

“Really?” he lifted his lips with an expression of disbelief as she had been very passionate that night.

“It’s fake.” Suddenly, she turned sideways and put her arms through the side of his waist to hug his thin waist. She had a tough time and she was stressed, “I’m tired of living.”

He stroked her back as he knew that she had endured more than him, “Let’s settle down in City C. when we go back, I’ll buy a bigger house and we’ll live together as a family. Do you think that’s okay?”

“Is that okay?” she really didn’t want to return to City B. Even if they didn’t mention those people and those things, they would always hear about the things that had happened before when living in that place.

After all, things happened in that city and there were many people who knew about it, surely they would gossip.

Dolores had concerns in her mind as Matthew worked over there after all, “How about your company?”

“I’ll hire someone to take care of it.” He smiled, “I’ll stay here with you and the two kids. If not, I can count on you since you can support me now.”

She said, “I can’t afford to support you.”
