Snare of Love

Chapter 6: Three of Them Could Live on Each Other

Matthew frowned and had a feeling of being cheated.

In the living room, Coral already got up to prepare breakfast.

Seeing Dolores who was in pyjamas sitting alone on the sofa, Coral asked with a beaming smile, “Did

you sleep well last night?”

Coral thought that Matthew would not come back last night as he was accompanied by Helen. But last

night, she heard a noise so she got up to take a look and found out that Matthew had come back last

night and even slept in the room.

This person was the wife of the young master. And this marriage was arranged by his mother, so she

naturally must be a good woman. The young master finally got married so Coral, who had been taking

care of him, was happy about it.

Her tone and expression sounded too obliging and this made Dolores felt somehow dubious.

Dolores curled into a stiff smile, “Quite, quite good.”

“Then you hurry up to change clothes. I’ll prepare breakfast so that you can eat later.” Coral walked into

the dining room and started making breakfast.

Dolores looked down at her pyjamas. The clothes she had brought were still in the room.

The man in the room should have got changed now, right?

She stood up and headed to the bedroom. She stood in front of the door and raised her hand to knock

on the door.

No one answered.

She knocked again but she still did not get any response.

She had no choice but to open the door. The door was not locked and it was opened the moment she

pushed it.

But the moment the door was opened, she was greeted by an icy wind that could chill someone to the

marrow, as if it was winter in December.

Matthew sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes were coldly staring at a piece of paper.

That paper…

Soon, Dolores saw the thing holding in his hand and the mess on the floor. She experienced total

mortification as she felt that her privacy was being pried into. She ran to him, snatched it and asked,

“How can you look at others’ thing without their permission, do you know what is privacy?”

Matthew sneered, “Privacy?”

The way he smiled was particularly creepy, “You married me with a bastard in your belly, and now you

come to tell me about privacy?”

“I…I…” Dolores wanted to explain but she was suddenly at a loss for words.

Matthew stood up and his steps were steady and particularly rhythmic. Each of his steps could

apparently pressurize the room. Then, an angry frown creased his forehead, “Tell me, what’s your

purpose?”

Did she want him to be the father of the illegitimate child and make the child be the first grandchild of

the Nelson family?

Was the previous deal merely her stopgap measure?

The more he thought about it, the more his face darkened.

Dolores pursed her lips and her body was quivering. She constantly moved backward with her hands

covering her abdomen, fearing that he would hurt the child in her belly, “I didn’t mean to hide it from

you. The marriage among us is just a deal and that’s why I…I hide it from you, I swear I don’t have any

purpose.”

Matthew’s tone was somehow with eerie and bizarre intimidation, “Oh? Really?”

Dolores covered her abdomen with hands, secretly moving back with composure, “Really, I’m clear that

this kind of thing definitely can’t be muddled through. If I have any deceitful and wicked thoughts, I

swear I’ll die miserably. Moreover, if I really cause trouble to Mr. Nelson, I think Mr. Nelson also has

many ways to kill me, right?”

Although her movement was very light, Matthew was still able to notice it. He took a glance at her NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

covered abdomen.

His gaze stayed on her face, “Why didn’t you make it clear before?”

Matthew would not believe her words so easily.

Her hands which were protecting her abdomen were slowly clenched. This child was too unexpected

for her but it was her blood relative after all. She had already lost her brother so she wanted to give

birth to this child.

In the future, she could be with her mother in which three of them could live on each other just like in

the past days.

When she thought of the matter that happened that night, she could not help but tremble and her hands

felt cold and clammy, “I, I also just found it out not long before…”

She did not even dare to tell Jessica. She did not dare to put the sheet of medical tests she had done

in the hospital in her house as she was afraid that Jessica would find out.

She did not expect to cause such a big commotion., which made Matthew thought that she had a

deceitful motive.

She was still very young, but she surprisingly…

How promiscuous her private life was?

Matthew’s face looked immensely dark and he warned, “You better be obedient for this one month, if I

find out you’re making troubles …”

“No, I’ll definitely not. I’ll be obedient and if I do anything out of the ordinary, I’ll be entirely at your

disposal,” Dolores hurriedly promised.

Even if she could not gain his trust, she could not let him doubt her motive.

She was already in a difficult situation and it would be too disadvantageous for her to get her things

back if she had one more enemy.

Matthew stared at her with his probing eyes as if he was judging the credibility of her words.

Knock knock…At this time, Coral came over, “Breakfast is ready.”

Matthew stopped staring at her and contained his anger, “Clean up the floor.”

Finishing the words, he turned around and went out.

As soon as Matthew left, Dolores’ legs went weak. She braced herself against the low cabinet behind

her and took quite a while to regain her strength. She squatted down and picked up the clothes that

were scattered around the floor.

When she saw the B-Scan sheet, her tears trickled down and dropped on the paper.

She wiped her face. She told herself that she could not cry as crying was a sign of displaying

weakness.

She could not be weak. Her mother and the baby in her belly needed her.

She folded up the paper and put it in her bag. Then, she changed clothes and went out.

There was already no one in the dining room and there were an empty coffee cup and an empty plate

on the table. This meant that he should have finished eating and left.

Dolores heaved a sigh of relief as she felt really depressed and pressured to spend time with Matthew.

She went to the dining table and had a meal.

After breakfast, she left the house. She had promised that she would go back and she was afraid that

Jessica would worry about her.

As soon as she entered, she was stopped by Jessica who asked, “The young master of the Nelson

family…”

“Mom.” Dolores’s tone was very heavy and she did not want to say anything about this, “He’s a very

nice person, don’t worry about me.”

Jessica sighed. Her daughter grew up, had self-opinion already and was not interested in listening to

her anymore. She could not help but feel disappointed, “I’m just caring about you.”

She was afraid that Matthew would treat her daughter badly.

Dolores hugged Jessica. She did not mean to do so but she was just too exhausted after spending

much effort to confront Matthew and convince him.

“Mom, I’m just feeling a little tired, I didn’t mean it.”

“I know, Mom doesn’t blame you.” Jessica could somehow feel her daughter’s exhaustion, “If you’re

tired, go to sleep for a while.”

Dolores nodded. Even though she did not want to sleep, she did really feel tired. After going to her

room, she actually fell asleep without realizing it.

At noon, the meal prepared by Jessica was ready. She waked Dolores up to eat.

When Dolores sat at the table, Jessica served Dolores some rice, “I made the meal with the fish you

like to eat.”

Jessica felt guilty for her daughter. Although she had given birth to her, she was unable to give Dolores

a good childhood and she let her suffer together with her.

Dolores had a look at the sour-sweet fish cooked by her mother on the table. It had a faint sweet and

sour taste which she used to love to eat. However, when she smelled this kind of smell at this moment,

her stomach churned.

She could not resist, “Urg…”

“Lola.”

Dolores had no time to make an explanation. She covered her lips and made a beeline to the

washroom, lowering her body by the sink and retching.

Jessica was worried so she followed Dolores. Jessica experienced it before and when she saw her

daughter’s reaction, her face slightly turned pale. But, Jessica did not quite believe it as her daughter

was very conservative and obedient so she had never had a boyfriend at school. She was very honest.

Jessica’s voice was quivering, “Lola, what’s wrong with you?”

Dolores’s body stiffened and her hands at the sink gradually clenched into a fist. She decided to give

birth to this child so sooner or later Jessica would have to know it.

She turned to look at her mother and plucked up the courage.

“Mom, I’m pregnant.”

Shocked, Jessica lost her balance for a moment and took a step back. She was a little incredulous as

her daughter was only eighteen.
