Snare of Love

Chapter 325 How Comes It Was with You

Dolores ran in the ‘roaming sky of stars and fire’. It was an extraordinary year. Many things had

happened. Each and every one of them was out of her expectation. This year might be lucky, might be

bad, might be full of surprises, full of --- surprises!

Holding her two children’s hands, she stood amidst the white, looking up at the splendour blooming in

the sky.

Matthew’s coat was covered with snow as he stood there. He looked at the three backs, one large and

two small, which were not far away.

This year, was it unexpected for him?

How could it not be --- a surprise?!

They had to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. They played outside for a long time before going back.

Pushing open the door of their room, they were greeted with warmth. Jayden and Victoria were sitting

on the sofa, watching TV. The Chinese New Year Gala was playing on the TV. Coral and another maid

had prepared a lot of fruits and dried fruits on the table.

It was not known that whether it was because they had too much fun, the food they ate during dinner

was all digested. When the two children went inside the house, they ate again while watching TV.

At 12 o’clock, the New Year’s bell rang.

The new year had arrived.

The two children were too excited so they did not want to go to sleep and ended up not being able to

wake up the next day.

The two children spent their day on their bed on the first day of the New Year.

The second day of the year was Dolores’ birthday.

Samuel bought her a super big cake.

After giving birth to her two children, Dolores had never celebrated her birthday. She had experienced

severe pain during labour and understood that her birthday was a day of suffering for her mother.

So, in the past, every year on her birthday, she would not buy a cake, she would not bother to remind

anyone about her birthday, she would only buy a present for Jessica.

She did not expect that Samuel would buy her such a big cake with eight tiers. O the top, there was a

doll in a wedding dress.

True, it was a doll in a wedding dress, it did not look like a birthday cake but it looked like a wedding

cake.

“Does it look good?” Samuel asked.

Dolores nodded, “It looks good but it’s a bit strange.”

Samuel pointed at the doll on the top, “You mean that she’s weird?”

Without waiting for Dolores to say yes, he explained, “You are a fashion designer and have designed

wedding dresses for many people, but you had never worn it yourself. I want you to wear it once, I

think, if you wear, you must be the prettiest.”

Samuel heard that Dolores had never worn a wedding dress from Jessica.

Once, Dolores had designed a wedding dress for a client. It was super beautiful. Samuel said, “Mummy

must look even better if you put on it.”

Jessica looked gloomy by the side.

Samuel only knew that Dolores did not wear a wedding dress when she was married when he beat

around the bush.

In his heart, he despised Matthew. He thought that he was a mean man!

Matthew stood in front of the French sash to answer a call. It was Boyce who called. The results had

come out. Randolph did not die suddenly but he was poisoned. He had consumed nitrite.

“According to the maid, Jessica has been preparing three meals for Randolph a day. She had the

opportunity and the motive, now Jessica has been officially detained, waiting to be investigated.”

Matthew cast his gaze over, looking at the scene in the living room. His eyes were deep.

“I, as a criminal police officer, can’t do anything to condone such matter. Of course, I know who she is,

all I can do is to try to make it manslaughter. I won’t let her suffer. Randolph is certainly wrong but she

is breaking the law by doing this. About Ms. Flores...”

There was a big difference between intentional homicide and manslaughter charges.

“Don’t let her know first.” He had not figured out how to tell Dolores yet. They were very happy now. He

did not want to disturb them.

He did not want to spoil it.

“I know,” Boyce said.

Matthew hung up the call and walked over.

He had just heard Samuel’s words. He looked at the doll on the cake.

“Dad.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hmm?”

The little girl beckoned towards him, “You bent down, I want to share you a secret.”

Obediently, Matthew bent down and leant his ear towards her.

“The secret is that I ...”

She suddenly stretched the hand behind her back and wiped Matthew’s face with cake.

“The secret is that I’m going to wipe your face with cake, hehe...”

Matthew froze for a moment before picking her up, “Little naughty girl.”

The little girl smiled happily.

“Aren’t you giving mummy a present?” Samuel said it purposely. He felt that Matthew did not know

today was Dolores’ birthday.

Hearing her son’s words, Dolores was anticipating something.

Matthew pondered for a moment and said, “No, I did not prepare anything.”

Samuel pulled his face down, “Don’t think that my mummy belongs to you.”

Dolores was also a little disappointed, but she knew him well that he would not prepare a gift for

anyone. If he did, she would feel surprised.

Matthew looked at Dolores and laughed lightly, “Who dares to want her?”

Whoever dared to ask for her, he would peel his skin.

“Alright, alright.” Dolores brought the two children to wash their faces and hands. There was cream

everywhere.

“I still want to eat.” Simona did not want to go and wash her face and hands.

“I’ll wash her later,” Coral said as she walked.

Dolores thought for a moment. That was what she could do for now. There was cream on her body.

She wanted to go upstairs to change a clean shirt. There was no one in the house. She found her

clothes from the cupboard, stood in front of it and took off the cream stained clothes she had on. She

did not notice that Matthew also followed her up.

Matthew pushed the door open and saw that she was naked on the top half of her body. The bruise

around her waist had not yet completely faded. Her skin was white. So, that patch was particularly

noticeable. She quickly put on a jumper and this hid Matthew’s view.

Dolores tidied up her collar. She saw Matthew standing in the doorway when she turned around. Her

first reaction was to ask, “When did you come up?”

“When you came up, I came up?” He deliberately asked a rhetorical question.

Dolores frowned. It meant that he had been watching her when she changed her clothes?

Although the two of them had been intimate. She still felt shy when recalling that she took off her

clothes in front of him.

Matthew came in, closed the door and looked at her slightly red face. He lifted a strand of her hair and

twisted it in between his fingers, “Are you blushing?”

“No.” Dolores turned her head.

“Don’t be shy. Moreover, I had seen all your body.”

This man!

Dolores glared at him angrily, “Can you behave properly?”

“I won’t let you suffer.” He reached out with his long arms and hugged her into his arms, approaching

her ear, his voice was soft, “At night, I’ll let you look at me.” Without waiting for Dolores to get angry, a

box was shoved into her hand, “What is this?”

Dolores lowered her head and lifted her hand. It was a blue velvet box. It was not large, diamond-

shaped, no extra decoration, simple but looked nice.

“Open it and have a look.”

Dolores blinked, somewhat in disbelief, “A gift for me?”

He responded with a “hmm” seriously.

Dolores opened it under Matthew’s gaze. There was a huge diamond ring laying inside. It was oval in

shape and pink in colour.

It was a veritable pigeon’s egg.

“Pink Star?”

This time it was Matthew’s turn to be surprised, “You know about it?”

“I’ve seen it at the Century jewelry Auction. It was named Pink Star, oval in shape, a flawless pink

coloured diamond, bought by a famous domestic jewellery tycoon in 2017 with 71.2 million dollars, how

come it’s with you?”
