Snare of Love novel Chapter 99

She held the doorknob, twisted, and gently pushed the door open. Then she saw Jessica sit on the bed sobbing softly.

Dolores walked in and closed the door. Hearing the noise, Jessica hurriedly wiped her face. “Why aren’t you keeping an eye on those two fellows outside? What are you doing here?”

“I came to check on you.” Dolores reached out to hug her. “Mom, let’s forget what has happened in the past, shall we?”

Pressing her face on Jessica’s shoulder, she added, “I’ll support you when you are old. When I’m old, I’ll ask Samuel to support me...”

“What are you talking about?” Jessica patted her daughter on the back. “You are still young. I think Dr. Herbert is a good choice indeed.”

Dolores scratched her hair. She was always afraid that Jessica would say so.

“Lola...”

“Mom.”

Dolores knew what Jessica was going to say. In fact, she did plan to accept Sampson, but it seemed to be impossible now.

If she would look into the truth of her car accident in the past, she could never be with Sampson.

“Mom, Sampson’s mother has ever come to me before.”

“What?” Jessica was quite shocked. Holding her daughter’s shoulders and looking at her, she asked, “What did she come to you for?”

Dolores pursed her lips, wondering how to make her mother dispel her thoughts. Then she said honestly, “It was six years ago. She saw Sampson and me together, so she mistook that we were in love. Later she deliberately came to me and told me that I was not suitable for her son. She said based on his background, he should find someone who could fit him in terms of the identity and background.”

Jessica’s lips parted, but she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

Finally, tears fell from her eyes again.

“Mom, why are you crying again?” Dolores reached out to wipe her tears.

She tried so hard to distract her mother’s attention.

Why did she start crying again?

“How could I be not upset?” At the thought of that Sampson’s mother went to Dolores and humiliated her, Jessica felt depressed. “If it weren’t for me in the past, you…”

“Mom, shall we stop talking about things happened in the past?” Dolores knew what Jessica was worried about. She explained to her mother patiently, “I don’t like Sampson. Even if I marry him, I wouldn’t be happy. Mom...”

Dolores held her hand. “You want me to be happy, don’t you?”

“Of course.” Jessica wished her daughter would be happy even when in her dreams.

Dolores was still so young. Jessica prayed that there would be a good man to love her.

“Do you believe me?” asked Dolores again.

“Yes, I do.” Jessica looked at her daughter. “You are the best in my heart.”

She watched her daughter struggled bit by bit until reached her current status today, through which her daughter had difficulties and suffered. Now Dolores finally had her own career.

In Jessica’s heart, her daughter was the most capable woman.

“If you do believe me, please don’t worry about my marriage. Things will work out eventually.” Dolores grasped the chance to convince Jessica.

She didn’t want her mother to keep worrying about her marriage and nagging about it all day long.

She had pressure and so did Jessica.

Dolores didn’t want Jessica to blame herself as her mother always thought what happened to them was all because of herself.

“Mom, look. I’m only 24 years old. I’m still quite young and there’s a long way for me to go. Perhaps I could meet a man who never cares that I’m a single mother and is willing to take care of Samuel and Simona with me.”

Jessica was not certain. “Are you sure you’ll meet such a man?”

Who could predict what would happen in future, anyway?

“Probably. If you kept nagging about it, I’ll feel stressed. I can’t find someone at random. The man I’ll marry must be able to accept Samuel and Simona. Otherwise, I wouldn’t consider about him.” Dolores always wanted to let Jessica knew clearly what was on her mind today.

Jessica knew how important those two kids to Dolores. Back then, she was even willing to give up her own life to keep the kids, so Jessica could understand their importance to her.

“OK, I won’t nag about it anymore in future. If the fate came, your Mr. Right would appear naturally.” Jessica stroked her daughter’s hair. “I won’t give you any pressure.”

Through Sampson’s case, she also realized something.

With Dolores’ status, even if there would be a man who liked her, his family might be a big difficulty to conquer.

Who would be willing to let their son marry a single mother with two kids?

She could understand why Sampson’s mother disagreed. Naturally, men from such kind of families would definitely find someone matched for marriage.

But, Jessica still felt sad for her innocent daughter.
