Snare of Love novel Chapter 54

It was a week since Matthew left. Eventually, Dolores became at peace with this and went back to work as per normal.

“I heard that Mr. Nelson had gone to A Country to keep Ms. White company.” Everyone started to gossip during lunch.

“Since Mr. Nelson had already regarded Ms. White as his girlfriend, it was normal for him to go and see her. Except that…” The lady looked into her pocket mirror and adjusted her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and grinned. She felt that the woman in the mirror was truly a beauty.

Everyone was already used to her self-professed beauty but was curious about what she wanted to say, “Except what?”

The woman glared at everyone and said, “If Mr. Nelson really liked her, why would he send her to A Country? There are so many people in the company. Why can’t he send someone else?”

Some felt that she had a point. But others disagreed.

“If it was as you mentioned, Mr. Nelson doesn’t like Ms. White, then how do you explain that he had not come to the company for a week just to take care of her? You should know that that had not happened in the past.”

Both of them had a point but their point of view was different. Some said that Matthew loved Helen while others disagreed.

“Hey, Dolores what do you think? Does Mr. Nelson love Ms. White?” A colleague asked Dolores who sat at her place silently, “Why don’t you participate with the group?”

Dolores laughed bitterly inside her. Wasn’t it ridiculous to discuss whether her ‘husband’ loved another woman?

A colleague shook Dolores, “Say something will you?”

Dolores helplessly said what she thought, “I don’t know. I just came to the company and don’t understand their relationship. I think he should like her, if not why would he regard her as his girlfriend?”

Everyone kept quiet for several seconds and felt that she had a point. If Matthew didn’t love Helen, why would he acknowledge her status?

“See, I knew that Mr. Nelson loves Ms. White.”

They didn’t stop gossiping and Dolores made an excuse to sneak away from them. After the break was over, everyone left and Dolores went back to her seat to work.

Matthew didn’t go back that day.

Dolores wanted some time alone after listening to the colleagues’ gossips. Who would expect Coral to nag when she went home?

“Why hasn’t Young Master come back?”

Dolores felt a headache and rubbed her temples. Coral thought that she wasn’t feeling well and asked, “Are you feeling sick?”

Dolores shook her head, “No.”

“Then you…”

“Oh…” Dolores suddenly detected a fishy smell and frowned and looked at Coral, “Did you buy fish?”

Coral nodded and pointed to the groceries on the table, “I just went to the supermarket. I’ll cook fish for your dinner…”

Before she could finish, Dolores already cupped her mouth and ran to the bathroom and vomited.

Coral hurried over and stood by the door looking at Dolores, “You… are you pregnant?”

Although Dolores and Matthew had slept in different rooms, they shared the same room during their wedding night. Perhaps they conceived on the first attempt?

Coral was elated, “Come, let’s go to the hospital.” With a child, any mistresses would have to be discarded.

Dolores shook her head, “No need. I… have gastric discomfort.”

“Then we’ll have to go as well.” Coral was resolute and only trusted the doctors.

“Coral.” Dolores struggled but Coral wouldn’t release her hand, “I’m doing this for your own good.”

“Change your shoes.” Coral pulled Dolores out.
