Snare of Love novel Chapter 11

Back then, she was sure he was satisfied with her. Dolores knitted her eyebrows and speculated: Did he find someone more suitable for him?

At such a thought, Dolores felt that the circumstances were somehow more acceptable.

At night.

The moment Matthew came home, he immediately shut himself in his room. It seemed that he still had work to attend to.

Dolores had learnt about Matthew’s preferences on food from Coral in the afternoon, and she was ready to prepare dinner for him by herself.

Coral smiled, “This is what a wife should do for her husband.”

Dolores strained a smile while lowering her head. If it was not for that fact that she was at his mercy, she wouldn’t flatter him on her own volition.

Coral let out a sigh, “The madam has passed away a long time ago and the master has remarried ever since. The young master rarely goes back home, but beneath his cold facade, he is actually someone how treasures relationship with others.”

Dolores listened to her intently without interrupting her.

“Ms. White used to save the young master when he was still a child, and later on, she has been following him around. The young master has never liked her, but somehow his attitude towards her takes a turn for the better after that business trip last time. Nevertheless, you have nothing to worry about. You are still his wife anyway.” Coral patted her shoulders as she tried to comfort her.

Dolores strained a smile as she knew fully well she had no say in who he wanted to be acquainted with. It was his own life after all.

Despite the fact that they were husband and wife in name, it somehow never felt like that. They were more like strangers.

She knew very well the real meaning of their marriage.

Dolores sneaked a glance at the study room and recalled the black coffee that Helen had made in the morning. She asked Coral, “Coral, do you know where the coffee beans are? I want to boil him some coffee.”

Coral thought that Dolores was very thoughtful, so she dished out the coffee beans and handed them to her while also putting in some words of advice, “Don’t add any sugar or milk. The young master is not fond of sweet things.”

Dolores nodded and in no time, a freshly-brewed coffee was born. She poured some into a delicate coffee cup and carried it to the study room herself.

In the study room, Matthew was looking impatient on the phone, “What is the matter with the human resources department? Is it that hard to get a good translator?”

He knew a variety of languages, but not the language spoken by A Country because it was not widely-spoken. Furthermore, he was handling a new project in that country, so not knowing the language was going to cause him a lot of troubles since he had to personally deal with everything himself.

“Let the human resources manager know, I’ll only give him a day. If he can’t hire anyone within a day, ask him to get ready to get lost!”

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Matthew was still fuming with anger when he was interrupted by that knocking sound. He called out coldly without keeping his emotions in check, “Come in!”

Dolores suddenly felt her guts tighten. Was he angry for some reason?

However, since she had already announced her arrival, she had no choice but to go in even though he might not be in the mood to receive any guest.

Dolores put on her widest grin while announcing the reason of her arrival, “I have made some coffee for you.”

Matthew trained his gaze on her face before slowly turning it onto the cup of coffee in her hands. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Just in the morning, she was avoiding him as if he was a plague, but now she was sending in a cup of coffee for him?

This woman was really capricious!

Matthew replaced his phone to its original place and sat down. He watched her intently to find out what this woman was up to at that moment!

“I hope it suits your taste buds.” Dolores placed the coffee on his desk.

Matthew continued to sit there motionless. His body gradually relaxed and in the end he was lying lazily against his chair.

Dolores prompted him, “Have a taste of it?”

Matthew raised his eyebrows and suddenly came to a realization. He could guess the reason behind her transformation as he said mockingly, “Are you flattering me now because you want to ask about that land in Repulse Bay?”

Dolores froze briefly in disbelief. She didn’t think that he would be able to make the connection so soon.

Suddenly, Matthew grabbed Dolores’ chin and said menacingly, “Is this the reason the Flores family insist to let you marry me despite the fact that I’m a crippled person?”
