Snare of Love novel Chapter 49

As the car window was slowly rolled down, Dolores gradually see the appearance of the ‘Madame’ that the driver mentioned just now. She looked as graceful as she was in usual times. The ‘Madame’ turned out to be Sampson’s mother.

Why did she come to find her?

Dolores tried to dig out some information from the driver, “Why your Madame came to find me?”

The driver shook his head, “I have no idea about this as I’m only the messenger.”

Thinking that Sampson had treated her quite well, Dolores thought she had to agree with it no matter what his mother’s intention was. So she told the driver, “Let’s go.”

She then walked to the side of the door and took the initiative to greet Camilla politely, “Hello.”

Camilla, who was sitting straightly, curled her lips into an elegant smile, “Ms. Flores, are you free now? There’s a café not far away? What about we two having a drink there?”

Dolores nodded in agreement after hesitating for a second.

“Get on the car.”

The driver came over to open the door for her, and Dolores stooped to board on the car.

The car soon stopped in front of the café and Dolores followed Camilla to walk into the café.

Camilla chose a relatively quiet place and seated herself, while Dolores took a seat opposite to her. A waitress walked over and asked, “Excuse me, what would you like?”

Camilla put her handbag onto the sofa and looked into Dolores’ eyes while asking, “What would you like to drink?”

“A cup of plain boiled water, please.” Dolores replied blandly.

“Me too, please. We will call you if we need you later.”

“All right.” The waitress left and the place quieted down again.

Dolores was sitting on the sofa silently, waiting for Camilla to start the conversation.

Camilla suddenly came to find her and Dolores guessed she didn’t simply come to invite her for a cup of coffee.

Camilla took a sip of the water and put down the cup before speaking, “How did you get to know my son Sampson?”

“He was the doctor of my younger brother back then, and we gradually got to know each other over time.” Dolores replied honestly.

“Oh, then how long have you been together with him?” Camilla looked up and down at Dolores when she was speaking and continued, “You look a bit young. Is my son your first lover?”

The questions bewildered Dolores. So it turned out that Camilla thought she was her son’s girlfriend?

Dolores suddenly remembered that when Sampson introduced her to others on the banquet, he used the word ‘girlfriend’. This must be the reason why Camilla asked those questions.

Just as Dolores was about to explain it, Camilla spoke again, “I don’t want to see you two falling into love.”

Camilla said with seriousness written all over her face, “I hope his wife will have similar family background with him. But I heard that so many accidents have happened to your family recently.”

Dolores tightly curled her lips into a straight line as she finally realized why Camilla came to find her today.

“With your family conditions presently, I’m more intolerant of you being his girlfriend. You will understand this, right?” Camilla said in a softened tone. She then produced a card from her handbag, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Dolores, “There is some money in the card. Although it’s not enough to help your family to come through the crisis, it can at least guarantee your life.”

Dolores pushed the card back to Camilla and smiled, “Mrs. Herbert, I have legs and arms and I can work. How can I receive your money?”|

Was Camilla trying use money to drive her away?

Dolores smiled bitterly in her heart. She was sent to abroad by her father when she was ten years old, and it was because Matthew was ‘crippled’ that she was given the chance to come back home.

She had never enjoyed the reputation of the Flores family, but she now had to suffer from the impact brought by the decline of the family.

“Mrs. Herbert, I understand what you want. I will not be together with him because I’ve always regarded him as my brother. If there’s nothing else, I have to go back first. I have some work to attend to.” Dolores stood to her feet after finishing the words.

“Wait a minute.” Camilla stopped her. She had prepared a lot in advance, but those verbal tricks were prepared under the assumption that Dolores might reject her proposal. Nevertheless, when Dolores acted cooperatively, she herself appeared to be mean.
