Snare of Love novel Chapter 100

Then she swiped to answer the call.

“Hey, it’s me.”

“OK.”

Dolores looked down, walking back to the living room. She didn’t speak first. Instead, she just held the phone, waiting for him to speak again.

“I’m downstairs of your apartment. Do you have time now? I want to meet you,” said Sampson.

He only spoke again after they both were silent for a moment.

Dolores answered him with a faint hum. She hung up the phone and took off the apron. Then she walked to Samuel’s room and knocked on the door. “Samuel, I have something to deal with downstairs. Grandma will be back soon. Don’t go out, OK?”

Samuel was standing next to the window, looking down. He saw Sampson talking to Jessica downstairs. Hearing Dolores’ voice, he answered, “Got it.”

Dolores changed into her shoes and went downstairs. In the park, Sampson was talking to Jessica. He wanted to hold Simona, but Jessica refused him. “She’s quite naughty,” she made an excuse.

Jessica never had rejected him before.

This time Sampson definitely felt the alienation from her.

Since she knew that Sampson’s mother had gone to Dolores and realized that he couldn’t marry Dolores, Jessica naturally couldn’t treat Sampson as dearly as before.

After all, in the past, she used to see Sampson as her future son-in-law.

Hence, from now on, she couldn’t continue being enthusiastic to bring him and her daughter together.

It was also unnecessary for the kids to be so intimate with him.

“Excuse me, Aunt Jessica. Did I do anything wrong?” Sampson asked.

“Nope. Nothing goes wrong.” Jessica hurriedly waved her hand, trying to explain, “This little girl doesn’t feel well these days. I’m just afraid she’ll cry.”

“I’ve watched her grow up since her childhood and she’s familiar with me. She won’t cry if I just hold her.”

“Good evening, Sampson.”

Dolores rushed over. “Mom, it’s getting cold now. Please take Simona back home.”

“OK.” Jessica said farewell to Sampson and left in a hurry with Simona in her arms.

“Had dinner yet?” Dolores asked.

Sampson smiled slightly. “I haven’t. Would you cook for me?”

“Of course.”

They smiled at each other.

“Shall we have a walk?”

“Sure.”

It was obvious that their relationship had changed.

They were not as close as they used to be.

“You’ve known it.” Sampson looked straight at the road ahead. “If I tell you that I’ve just got to know it not long ago, would you believe me?”

“I don’t know.” Dolores gave him an ambiguous answer.

“You still don’t trust me.” Sampson smiled bitterly.

He had predicted that her attitude to him would definitely change after Dolores got to know the truth. Sure enough.

“When Maria Herbert and I are in danger at the same time, who will you rescue?” Suddenly, Dolores stopped and looked at Sampson. “This is a ridiculous question, isn’t it? But you would definite rescue her before saving me.”

“Why are you so sure?” Sampson stared at her.

“There are all kinds of love in this world. After all, blood is thicker than water. The family affection is the most precious. She’s your younger sister. If you could even ignore your own sister’s life and death, you would be an extremely ruthless and cold-blooded man. Then how could you love someone and how could a woman accept the love from such a man like you?”

Sampson didn’t speak, gazing at her in silence.

What she said was correct. Between Maria and her, Maria had higher priority than she had in his heart.

However, it was not because that blood was thicker than water. It was only because he felt guilty for Maria.

It was his negligence that caused Maria to get lost back then.

“But it didn’t mean I would love you less.”

“But I can’t accept you for who you are then. I don’t think your family would accept me either. Let’s remain the same as we used to be, as long as you still want to treat me as a younger sister.”

Sampson frowned. He knew Dolores very well. She must have a concern for him now, but he had never expected that she could be so decisive.

He wondered if what he had done for her all these years deserved to make her being with him.

Even if he had hidden the truth of the car accident, his affection for her was not fake.

He couldn’t believe that Dolores could ignore everything.

All thoughts were boiling up in Sampson’s heart fiercely.
