Snare of Love novel Chapter 159

Jessica didn’t beat around the bush and said what was in her heart, “I don’t know what is going on between you and Dolores. I just think, if you and Dolores can’t be together then I want the children to be raised by me and her…”

Jessica’s mind had travelled quite far, she had thought about it too much.

If Dolores could make a home with Matthew, it was good. If not, she hoped that Matthew was not going to try and win the custody of the children.

If he really wanted to win, she and Dolores were never going to be able to win.

So, she clearly expressed her feeling beforehand.

“She and I did not apply for a divorce.” Even though it was not an explanation, it was still better to explain, “We are still husband and wife in the eyes of law. I like your daughter, not because she gave birth to my children, but because I like her for who she is.”

Jessica sighed in relief. This was of course good.

She just didn’t know how to respond to his bluntness.

“I have to go to Country A for a business trip, she will be going with me. We may not come back for a couple of days and we will have to trouble you with Samuel and Simona. I have arranged for someone outside the villa, if you need to go out, take them with you.” He explained.

He had still not found Dolores. He was afraid that Jessica was going to get worried and that the children were going to look for her too.

So, he deliberately told Jessica that she was going on a business trip with him.

“Okay, I will take care of them.”

After talking to him, Jessica felt much better.

“Simona…”

“She is in my room.” Jessica seemed to know what he was about to ask so she quickly replied, “She woke up last night calling for Dolores, I couldn’t do anything but to bring her to my room to sleep. I coaxed her for a long time before she finally went to sleep. She should still be asleep right now.”

Before she finished talking, they heard a soft voice, “Mommy… Daddy.”

She was wearing pajamas with little yellow ducks printed on them, her skin was white and soft. With her messy hair and fair face, Simona threw herself at Matthew, sweetly calling, “Daddy…”

Matthew took her into his arms.

She put her arms around his neck and kissed him, as if making up for Samuel not letting her to be close to her father, “I missed you.”

Actually, she was afraid that Matthew was going to be angry at her and was not going to want her anymore.

Her wish to somehow please him was hidden in her voice.

Matthew brushed her hair away from her forehead, exposing her entire face. Her full forehead, big watery eyes and innocent face looked very cute.

He rubbed his thumb lightly on her cheek, “Missed me? Where?”

Simona rolled her small eyes and clutched her chest, pointing to her heart, “Missed you in my heart.”

“Didn’t Mommy come back with you?”

Unable to find Dolores, her eyes searched everywhere.

Matthew’s throat constricted, his face still calm, “Your Mommy had something to do, so she didn’t come back…”

At this moment, the cellphone in Matthew’s pocket vibrated.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was a call form Boyce. He didn’t pick it up right away. Instead, he put Simona down and patted her on her head, “Daddy has to answer a call.”

Simona was obedient, then Jessica came over and said, “I will take her to wash up and change her clothes.”

“That will be good.” Matthew nodded.

Seeing Jessica lead Simona into the room, Matthew walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window to answer the call.

When the call was connected, “We have found her.”

It was as if an electric current had travelled throughout his body, stimulating every cell in Matthew’s body.

Boyce said he found her?

His pupils were very dark. He thought he was being very calm but his voice was not calm at all as he asked, “Where are you now?”

“Outside the city. I will send you the location.”

When the call was disconnected, Matthew received the information about the location from Boyce.
