Snare of Love novel Chapter 454

Eddie turned around to look at Jeffery. “What’s wrong if I do like her?”

Jeffery panted. “It seems our relationship should end.”

“Can’t I have the right to like a woman?”

Jeffery was silent.

He didn’t forbid Eddie to like his sister, but he felt quite awkward. They had been best friends for so many years. He had thought that Eddie just treated Jolene as his own younger sister.

Much to his surprise, Eddie had that kind of mind...

“A man is bitter but not content.”

Eddie knew what it meant. However, he suffered a lot that the knot in his heart couldn’t be resolve at all. He had a crush on Jolene when he was young. His yearning for her had become the obsession that he couldn’t gain her heart.

He always believed that if Jolene could have married him, she wouldn’t pass away so early. They would lead happy life. At least, he loved her and could care and dote her.

“Good that you understand it. You’d better behave yourself. You are so old now. If your wife dumped you and your family was broken, others would mock you.” Jeffery turned around and walked out of the study.

Sitting in the car, he felt so depressed. The adjutant asked, “Would you like to go home?”

“Go to the cemetery.” Jeffery started missing Jolene. He wanted to visit her.

The adjutant drove towards the cemetery in suburbia. Once, Jeffery mentioned the cemetery, the adjutant knew whom he was going to visit.

“Wait. I’ll get a bouquet in the florist shop first. Otherwise, there’s nothing in her graveyard. She would be quite lonely.”

The adjutant turned around in the intersection ahead.

Jeffery didn’t buy the chrysanthemums. Instead, he bought a bouquet of iris proantha, which was Jolene’s favorite when she was alive.

Holding the bouquet, Jeffery sat back in the car. When the adjutant was starting the engine, Jeffery cast a casual glance out of the window, only to find Victoria and Dolores on the street with two kids, followed by a few bodyguards.

“We can’t stay outside for a long time. You would be too exhausted. Let’s go home after buying the cake.” Victoria was worried about Dolores’s strength.

Dolores agreed.

The two kids suddenly wanted to eat the thousand-layered mousse cake. Dolores didn’t think it would take a long time. She also wanted to have a walk with the kids.

“I’ll go get the cake. Please wait for me here.” Victoria entered the cake store.

Jeffery couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but he could see that they looked quite happy. Immediately, he withdrew his gaze. Looking down at the flowers in his arms, he stroked them gently.

He muttered to himself, “Your son is a big trouble.”

The car roared away. Jeffery still didn’t look back. He only bent down his head while looking at the flowers in his arms.

Victoria came out with the cake. “Let’s go home.”

“Yeah! Let’s go home for cake!” Simona said excitedly.

Victoria smiled. “Silly girl, do you still have a space for it?”

“Of course. I have,” Simona immediately emphasized as if she couldn’t be allowed to eat it.

“Let’s get in the car.”

Dolores stood in front of the door and let the kids get in first. Simona seemed to haven’t enjoyed herself outside yet. “There seems to be something fun at night as well.”

Victoria patted her on her little butt. “I’ll take you guys out for fun tomorrow.”

“Will Mommy come with us?” Simona turned around and looked at Dolores. She blinked with expectant.

“Isn’t it the same if I come out with you? Don’t you know there’s a little baby in Mommy’s belly?”
