Snare of Love novel Chapter 62

Jayden sat down onto the sofa again and asked Thomas to come over, “Go investigate whether if something special had happened to Matthew when he went abroad this time.”

He couldn’t help but think wildly about the reasons behind this since he cancelled the engagement out of no reasons.

Victoria reached out to hold up Jayden’s hand and said with a worried look, “If he knows that you are investigating into him, he will definitely be annoyed. His relationship with us has already been tensed, why not have a further talk with him later?”

Thomas also chimed in, “Yeah. You’re also clear about young master’s temper.”

Jayden’s pulled a longer face and said coldly, “With his bad temper, can I reach an agreement with him regarding this matter?”

He got less gloomy after saying the words and added in a firm attitude, “I can let him act willfully when it comes to other matters. But he can’t act like that this time.”

This matter was crucial to the future of the Nelson family after all.

Victoria still tried to persuade him, yet was interrupted by Jayden before she could say anything, “No need to persuade me. I’ve made up my mind regarding this matter.”

He then raised his head to look at Thomas, “Go.”

“Er…” Thomas looked at Victoria with a hesitant look.

Victoria heaved a sigh, “Let it be. The father and the son all have bad tempers. Who can persuade them?”

Thomas could only follow Jayden’s order.

Just as Matthew had walked out of the mansion, he was stopped by Maria.

“Matthew…”

Matthew ignored and walked past her and headed towards the car.

Maria chased after him and grabbed his arm, “I have been following you for many years. But are you going to abandon me just because a single mistake I made?”

Matthew suddenly paused. His movement was so sudden that Maria bumped against him before having time to react.

She lifted her head and gazed at his handsome face that she had been infatuated with for a long time.

Matthew looked down at the woman who had been staying by his side for a long time. He had once thought that although this woman was scheming and wasn’t as pure as she looked like on the surface, she had given her virginity to him after all and therefore he had to be responsible for her both emotionally and logically.

Although he didn’t have affections to her, he should be responsible for her.

Nevertheless, the moment when he saw Dolores again, he felt that his heart, which had been beating steadily, thumped wildly because of her. It turned out that he could still have feelings for a person.

He didn’t know what the reasons behind this were.

He just knew that if he married Maria, he would definitely regret it in the future.

Matthew reached out to caress her cheek and said in a gentle voice, “Did you really only make mistake once?”

He had turned a blind eye to her sins for many times and was unwilling to investigate into them.

But it didn’t mean that he knew nothing about them.

Maria was a bit stunned, pondering, ‘What… what did he know?’

Thinking carefully about it, it was impossible for him to find it out since it had been so many years. Moreover, with the support of her elder brother, he definitely would not be able to find out anything.

If he threw a temper tantrum at her or reprimanded her, maybe she would have room to maneuver this matter.

Nevertheless, he looked extremely dispassionate.

The more dispassionate he looked, the more determined he was.

Maria was very flustered and grabbed Matthew’s arm tightly, “Matthew, I love you. Don’t you know about my feelings for you after getting along with me for so many years?”

“But I don’t like you.” After finishing the words, Matthew laughed scornfully.

It was indeed a self-mockery.

Maria shook her head crazily and growled out of control, “No, no, you love me. You are so good to me…”

“That’s not love.” It was just because he had to be responsible for having taking her virginity that night.

He had forced himself to love her. Nevertheless, over the past years, he still failed to take fancy to her.

“I will compensate you, but not with my marriage.” He prised her hand from his arm, apparently not willing to continue this topic any longer.

But Maria refused to let go of him, “I don’t want your compensation. I just want you.”

Although she refused to admit this, it was evident that Matthew had really taken fancy to Dolores.
