Snare of Love novel Chapter 13

Dolores was petrified on the spot. She never saw Sampson’s hug coming.

When she came to herself, she tried to wriggle free from his embrace.

From Matthew’s perspective, they were like a couple who were cooing each other.

His brows couldn’t help but frown.

Helen commented nonchalantly, “I didn’t expect that she actually has a boyfriend.”

Matthew suddenly felt very restless.

He stepped on the pedal hard and the car sped away.

Helen pursed her lips and asked, “Are you angry about that?”

Matthew snickered coldly, “Why should I be angry?”

She was currently pregnant, so it was normal that she was intimate with other guys too!

He was just being frustrated for no reason after actually witnessing her with other guys!

Soon, the car stopped in front of Helen’s residence. She didn’t get off the car immediately as she stared longingly at Matthew, “Don’t you want to come to my place for a while?”

As if she was afraid of getting rejected, Helen added, “Matthew, I have prepared your favourite food—“

“Helen.” Matthew interrupted her. He was confused at his own frustration at the moment. He caressed her hair and said, “I’m not going to drop by today. Please rest earlier.”

“But…” Helen didn’t finish her sentence but chose to alight his car obediently, “Please drive safely.”

Matthew mumbled a response before speeding away.

For some reason, he took lesser time than normal to reach home. By the time he entered his house, Dolores hadn’t returned home yet.

He unbuttoned his shirt while asking, “What time did she go out?”

“She went out at noon.” Carol received his coat and asked, “Do you want to have dinner now?”

“Later.” He didn’t have any appetite at the moment.

The two buttons near to his neck had come off. He didn’t feel suffocated by his shirt anymore, but that didn’t reduce the restlessness in his heart.

It was a really strange feeling. He felt really uneasy!

He pushed open the door to his study. Dolores’ memo was still lying on the table. He picked it up and let out a cold laugh, “You’re really good at acting. On one hand, you’re making yourself looking very pitiful in front of me, but behind my back, you are fooling around with other men. Dolores, you really are different!”

He crumpled the memo vehemently after saying that.

Dolores hailed a taxi back home. Initially, Sampson had offered to send her home, but she didn’t want him to know about her connection to Matthew. Therefore, she had rejected him.

There was only Carol at home, so Dolores thought that Matthew hadn’t returned yet. She felt herself relax considerably.

Carol noticed Dolores’ good mood, so she asked her, “Are you happy about something recently?”

Dolores produced a smile, thinking that there was nothing particularly exciting going on, “I feel more at ease without him around here.”

Carol didn’t know how to answer her.

“Do you mean that I shouldn’t be here?” Suddenly, his long and slender figure appeared at the door of his study. He was leaning against the hinge lazily, and his tone sounded unconcerned yet mocking at the same time.

This voice…

Dolores turned around rigidly, and her eyes landed on that man who was leaning against the door hinge. He had a darkened expression on his face.

Why was he at home at that moment?

There wasn’t any sign of him coming home before this, so Dolores assumed that he was not home yet. That was why she could talk so nonchalantly.

“I…” Dolores wanted to explain, but Matthew brushed past her and headed towards the dining room. He was requesting Carol to serve the food.

Dolores quietly settled into her seat by the dining table. She wanted to speak for herself several times, but nothing came out of her mouth.

Matthew never once cast a glance in her direction during the whole duration. However, when he finished his meal, he suddenly said, “Come into the study with me.”
