Snare of Love

Chapter 91: Find a Good Man for Mummy

“…”

After dinner, the two of them exited the restaurant.

“Where do you want to go? Let me send you there.”

Dolores thought about it for a while and answered, “Home.”

She still hadn’t finished her task in the shop, and she had unfinished task too. What’s more, she had

gotten this job from Country A.

She had an appointment with a customer who wanted to custom-make her wedding dress to go

through the design booklet.

She was going to start the production of the wedding dress according to her customer’s preferred

design and material soon.

Hearing that she wanted to go home, Matthew looked at her sideways and said ironically, “Your son

doesn’t even have a father. Can you call that a home?”

Dolores wanted to refute him that her son just didn’t have a father at the moment, but in the end she

decided to keep that to herself.

If she were to refute him, she wouldn’t know what more he would say. She just shot a glance at him

before bending her body and getting into the car.

Matthew flashed a faint smile on his face.

The interior of the car was prevailed by dead silent, and there was a sense of embarrassment in the air

with the both of them not speaking.

Dolores leaned against the car window and pretended to be sleeping.

However, she didn’t act perfectly, and Matthew was able to see through her almost instantly. Despite

that, he didn’t want to break her disguise.

After roughly twenty minutes, Dolores pretended to be awake from her short nap as she knew that it

was almost the time. The car was entering her community area too.

She rubbed her eyes while opening the car door and getting off the car and said, “Thank you.”

She was grateful to him for sending her back.

Matthew had a nonchalant posture as his hand dangled on the steering wheel, “You don’t sound

sincere at all.”

Dolores stopped short in her action of closing the car door, “What do you mean?”

“If you really want to thank me, shouldn’t you invite me up there and have a cup of tea?” There was a

smirk playing around his lips. He was teasing her.

Dolores was his target now.

Dolores slammed the car door and replied coldly, “I believe I have shown you my sincerity after treating

you to a meal.”

Samuel was very wary of him, and if Jessica were to see him, she would be upset too.

She would be crazy to allow him to enter her house.

Simona was biting her fingers and blinking her watery eyes while looking in Dolores direction by the

road, “Is that mummy?”

Samuel was wracking his brain on ways to retrieve the tablet, watch and phone from Dolores when he

heard his sister’s inquiry. He stared at her, “Where did you see mummy?”

Simona pointed at the entrance of their area.

Samuel turned to see what she was talking about, and he immediately saw Dolores standing by the

road looking like she was talking to someone. That person’s side profile...

Why did he look so familiar?

Almost immediately, she was able to recognize that man who was talking to Dolores. Wasn’t him that

unfaithful lover?

Why was mummy still together with him?

Samuel immediately looked unfriendly as he stared at them.

Simona shook his hand and asked, “Bro, what’s wrong?”

Samuel snorted coldly, “Simona, did you see that man in the car?”

Simona nodded obediently, “I saw him.”

“He…He’s our father.” Samuel clenched his fists.

Since he was mummy’s ex-husband, that must mean he was also their father.

Simona blinked while thinking she never had the chance to use this word in her life previously. She had

only heard her friends using this word in her life, unlike herself.

When she suddenly learnt from her brother that she had a father, she was beyond excited. She almost

broke into a run, “Dad...“

Samuel whipped out his hand and pulled her back while covering her mouth, “Shh!”

Simona wriggled a little, “I want to see dad.”

She wasn’t as calculating as Samuel. She naively just wanted to check for herself how her father

looked like since it was a piece of big news to her.

“He is not our father.” Samuel said with conviction.

Huh?

Simona was thrown into confusion. Her brother was changing his opinion now. Which one was true?

She could only stare at her brother with widened eyes, as if she was waiting for an answer.

“He used to be our father, but he has abandoned mummy and us, so we can’t call him our father

anymore.”

Simona didn’t fully understand that. Her eye lashes fluttered as she said mechanically, “But is he our

father? I want a daddy.”

Samuel hugged her sister and said, “I will find us a good father. I will find a good man for mummy.”

Simona, “…”

She didn’t understand what her brother meant. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She continued to stare at the man’s side profile and wondered if that man was really her father.

How did he look like?

“Bro, have you seen daddy before?”

Samuel nodded, “Yes.”

“Is he handsome?” Simona continued to ask as she had the urge to go over to take a look.

Samuel was reluctant to admit this, but Matthew was indeed a looker. This was what made him feel

frustrated.

Where could he find another man who could be more handsome than him?

“He is handsome.”

His words ramped up the expectation in Simona’s heart.

“I have brought it here.” Jessica approached them with a foldable umbrella while saying. There were

going to visit the aquarium today, but before they could depart while they were downstairs, Jessica

suddenly thought to bring along an umbrella, saying that it was going to rain three in the afternoon.

That was why he returned upstairs to fetch the umbrella.

“Grandma.” Simona felt a little wronged in her heart because she had never seen her father while her

brother had seen him.

When the perfect chance to get a good look appeared, her brother prohibited him from checking his

father out.

He was so annoying.

“What’s wrong?” Jessica swept her off the ground.

“Brother…” When Simona began to speak, Samuel called out, “Mummy.”

He had interrupted her.

Dolores walked towards them and asked after seeing the backpack on Jessica’s back, “Are you guys

going somewhere?”

“I am planning to bring them to the aquarium. It is not good to just hole up at home all day long.”

Dolores took her daughter into her embrace while asking, “How are you guys going? Are you planning

to take the train?”

It was not convenient at all to take care of two children while taking the train.

Jessica replied, “We are taking a taxi. It is not so convenient to take the train, seeing that we have to

switch stations.”

Dolores walked to the road side and said, “I can’t follow you guys this time since I have work to do.

When I have more time, I will survey which car is suitable for us and buy one. That way, you guys will

have an easy time when you need to go out.”

“You go ahead with your work. I will take good care of them.” Jessica then proceeded to reach to take

Simona back into her embrace.

However, Simona didn’t want to be hugged by Jessica, and for some reason she didn’t want to let go of

her hands around Dolores’ neck. She said timidly, “Mummy.”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Dolores looked at her daughter and caressed her hair, “Do you want me to bring

you out to have fun?”

Simona shook her head and continued, “No, Samuel said...“

“Simona, didn’t you say that you want to watch the dolphin show? If we don’t go now, we will miss it. I

promise you to buy you a dolphin plushy with my savings, alright? Do you still want it?” Samuel

deliberately interjected to stop her sister from continuing.

He didn’t want Dolores to know that he actually knew who their father was.

The reason mummy had been mum about this was because she wasn’t ready to let them know about

this yet.

Simona stared at her brother, “Are you really buying it for me?”

Simona was still very innocent, so in no time she had been distracted by Samuel’s words.

“Of course.” Samuel answered surely.

“Then, I want a lollipop too.” Simona cracked a smile on her face.

Samuel looked at Dolores and said, “You have to ask mummy about this whether you are allowed to

eat that or not.”

Upon hearing that, Simona pouted because she remembered that mummy always told her about the

bad side of eating sweets. She wouldn’t allow her to eat that.

Simona once again looked wronged.

Dolores kissed her daughter’s cheek and replied, “Today, you can eat one.”

Immediately, Simona’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

“Yes.” Dolores answered firmly.

“Mummy, can I have one too?” Samuel raised his head in her direction.

“Of course.” Dolores bent over to hug her son slightly.

The two children were very obedient after learning that they could enjoy some sweets today. Jessica

then brought them out to the aquarium while Dolores went back home to work.

Maria stomped back home angrily.

Sampson was no longer working in the hospital, instead he was learning from Warner how to manage

a business.

If it were not for the firmness of their family business, it was very likely that the business would go into

ruins at their generation.

When it came to Sampson’s generation, he and his brother didn’t really have good business insight.

Sampson was merely a psychological doctor while Warner had been accumulating some experience in

the business field. He was somewhat capable, but it was still not enough to restore the Herbert family

to its former glory.

They could only try to maintain their family business.

Seeing that his sister had teary reddened eyes, Sampson put down the documents his brother had

handed to him and stood up from the sofa, “What the hell is wrong with you?”
