Snare of Love

Chapter 429 I Have Fallen in Love With You

Dolores’s thought that was swallowed and restrained was inexplicably triggered by him. Her entire body

felt uncomfortable and her face was slightly burning.

Matthew opened her collar and asked huskily, “Will it change?”

Dolores turned her head to look at him and reached out to caress his face. Her voice was soft, “It will

become very ugly.”

When she was expecting Samuel and Simona, it changed especially fast in the latter months and

turned dark grey.

“No matter what it becomes, I won’t mind.”

Matthew grabbed her hand that was stroking his face. He held her palm, pressed it against the pillow

and kissed her lips.

The residual sanity told her that they could not…If they continued, she would only be more

uncomfortable.

She mumbled, “The doctor said we can’t…”

His kiss became even wilder as he said in a mumbled voice, “You don’t know how much I want to make

you comfortable.”

The body’s need did not diminish but grew stronger. She turned her head sideways, “You stay away

from me.”

With the two of them hugging each other like this, the fire simply could not be distinguished. If this

continued, they might not be able to resist doing…

Matthew was also trying very hard to control himself. He pulled her hemline down, turned over his body

and lay flat on the edge of the bed. Both of them did not say anything and just lay quietly like that.

The clock on the wall kept ticking and time kept passing.

After about ten minutes, Dolores first broke the silence.

“Have you ever resented me in your mind? If I hadn’t gotten close to Victoria, there wouldn’t have been

so much trouble.” When Dolores heard Victoria saying about the past, she knew that Jeffery had deep

feelings for Jolene. However, she did not expect that Jeffery could be crazy to this extent.

“No. I didn’t understand at first but I know you have your own thoughts.” Matthew’s voice returned to

normal without the previous hoarseness.

Dolores turned her body sideways and buried her head in his arms, “You know what? I’ve fallen in love

with you and I wish to…” take care of someone whom you can’t take care of.

Matthew held back the joy in his mind, “Are you confessing to me?”

Dolores said, “Sort of.”

He turned sideways and took her head out of his arms, looking at her face.

Dolores caressed her eyelashes, “It isn’t settled yet, is it?”

Matthew kissed her forehead and embraced her in his arms, “It’ll be done soon. You just have to rest

and recuperate at ease, don’t worry about what’s going on outside. Don’t take anything you hear to

heart too as those may be expedient approaches, you just need to trust me.”

Since he said this, something would happen for sure later but she did not know what exactly it was.

“I trust you.”

Matthew felt it was funny again and pretended to be relaxing to ease the atmosphere as he did not

want such a topic to make her worry, “You trust me so much, don’t you worry that I’ll run away with

another woman?”

Dolores pinched his waist, “If you dare to run away, I’ll cripple your legs.”

Dolores’s force was a bit hard and Matthew frowned in pain, “If they were crippled, would you take care

of me.”

“Yes, I would take care of you. I can’t let my children lose their father.”

If that really happened, perhaps she would really do that. Even if he could only lie in bed, he was still

her children’s father.

She must give them a complete home.

Matthew hugged her even more tightly, “I won’t run. I only want you in this life. When we’re alive, we’ll

lie on the same bed and after our deaths, we’ll stay in the same coffin. I’m so much elder than you so I

surely will die first. When the time comes, don’t forget to tell the children to put me and you together.”

Dolores raised her head to glare at him, “Don’t say all these ominous words. If you die first, I’ll go find a

handsome old man…”

Matthew disdained, “You can’t find an old man who is more handsome than me.”

“Then the slightly uglier one is fine also.” Dolores settled for second best.

“I’ll drag whoever that dares to want you to hell as well,” Matthew said fiercely.

Dolores was speechless.

It seemed that the topic of the conversation went too far and they got carried away. Both people did not

bring up that matter again. In the evening, Coral knocked on the door with a food box. Matthew got up

from the bed and opened the door. Coral walked in while smiling, “You guys should be hungry, right?”

Dolores indeed felt hungry. She leaned against the bedhead, “What are the dishes today.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She seemed to eat different things every day so she was somewhat looking forward to the dishes every

day. She stayed in the ward all day as if she was isolated from the world because other than sleeping,

she could only eat.

Coral smilingly placed the food box on the table and confidently said, “They’re definitely to your liking.”

Based on the doctor's advice and according to the ingredients stated in the recipe, Dolores really did

not throw up anymore. Besides, she had more and more appetite.

The vegetarian dishes this time consisted of shredded cabbage, egg yolk with pumpkin, sauteed

spinach, yellow croaker soup and steamed tofu. They were all served on very delicate small plates.

Coral turned her head to look at Matthew who was standing at the bedhead, “I heard someone say that

if pregnant women look at beautiful things more, the babies they give birth to will also be good-looking

so I specifically went to buy these small plates.” The chopsticks and spoons were matched and the

patterns on them were all artificially depicted. The glaze was also welded on it with a special process.

Matthew put his hands in his pockets and his shirt was all wrinkled. He glanced at Dolores and said,

“It’s true that we should pay more attention to this part. Otherwise, if the baby inherits her look, it may

be very ugly.”

Coral knew that Matthew was joking so she laughed.

Dolores glared at him. He was the ugly one.

Coral set up the dishes, “Wash your hands and eat.”

Matthew walked over and carried Dolores to the bathroom to wash her hands. Then, he placed her on

a chair, sat opposite her and ladled soup for her, “Drink soup first.”

Before eating, he let her drink the soup first to stimulate her appetite.

Dolores used a spoon to scoop and taste it. The things she ate basically did not have condiments and

the flavour was the original taste of the ingredients themselves. It was bland and the fish soup was

thick, white and very fresh.

Coral had eaten before she came so she took the bed-sheets off the bed and replaced them with clean

ones. The bed-sheets and quilt were changed every day. The weather was a bit hot and Dolores’s body

could not get cold. So, the air conditioner was not on and sometimes she would slightly sweat. Coral

worried that she would feel uncomfortable so she changed them every day.

She made the bed neatly and took out the ones that were replaced. When she came in again, Dolores

and Matthew had already finished eating. She cleaned up and put the dishes into the lunch box, “I’ll go

back tonight. Can I come over tomorrow morning?”

Matthew was here so there should not be anything that needed her help.

“Yes,” He replied, took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When Coral who was carrying the food box saw him go to take a shower, she put it down, “I’ll leave

after cleaning the bathroom. There can’t be water in the bathroom. Otherwise, one might easily slip and

fall when going to the bathroom at night.”

The bathroom here was not separated into wet and dry ones so Coral was very careful. Even if the

bathroom was non-slip, she was still afraid that accidents might happen.

Matthew knew what was Coral worried about and said, “I’ll handle it.”

Coral looked at him with surprise, “When have you ever done such a thing? Besides, you definitely

can’t do it well.”

Matthew felt that Coral underestimated him too much. Didn’t he just need to mop the floor, was there

anything difficult about it.

“Coral, you may go back and rest. Let him mop the floor.” Dolores would like to see how was Matthew

going to mop the floor.

She was with a little anticipation.

Coral felt that these two people were becoming more and more like a wife and husband. She said and

agreed, “I’m leaving then.” She took the food box and left.

Matthew glanced at her and seemingly knew what was she thinking, “I can do a lot of things, you’ll find

out later.”

Dolores smiled and did not say anything.

Matthew went into the bathroom to take a shower. After about half an hour, the sound of water dripping

inside stopped. He came out wearing a bathrobe while wiping his wet hair. Dolores lay on the bed and

looked at him while supporting her chin with her hand.

He walked over and pinched her cheeks, “Did you peek at me while I was showering?”

Dolores did not reply to that but reminded, “Remember to dry the water inside.”

Matthew felt that Dolores was looking down on him just like Coral who thought that he could not do it

well. He was the president of a group who always handled projects that cost a hundred million and

even billion yuan. But now, she actually looked down on him?

He threw the towel he used to wipe his hair onto the table and walked into the bathroom. He looked

around and found that there was no mop at all. There were a few towels hanging below. He frowned

slightly. Whether it was in the company or home, maids used a mop to mop the floor. How come there

was no mop here, could it be that he had to use a towel?

He took one and threw it on the floor. He wiped it but the water was not absorbed by the towel. After

wiping a few times, the amount of water was still the same and it did not reduce at all.

Dolores really could not help it anymore so she laughed, “The towel is wet, wring it until it becomes dry

then it will be able to absorb water. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know, don’t try to be a hero.”

Matthew was speechless.

He stood up and simply did not intend to wipe anymore. He put the pieces of towels on the floor so that

it was not slippery.

Dolores was speechless.

This man was really wilful.

Matthew went to the bed and hugged her, “Let’s sleep, don’t always think about laughing at me.”

Dolores lay in his arms at ease, thinking that all people had something they were not good at. It was

normal that he could not do housework. What he was good at should be how to put as much money as

he could into his pocket.

This night, Dolores slept very soundly. When she woke up, Matthew was already awake. The bathroom

door was open. He was standing in front of the mirror while buttoning his suit.

Dolores covered her eyes for a while. There was light in the room and she just woke up so she was not

used to such light intensity.

It took her a while to be able to open her eyes properly.

Matthew walked over, “You’re awake? Are you hungry? Coral should be here soon.”

“Are you leaving now?” Dolores saw that he was already dressed in his clothes nicely.

“I’ll wait for Coral to come first.”

Only then he would leave.

Dolores moved her body, wanting to get up. Matthew hugged her. At this time, there was a loud noise

at the door.

“You guys can’t enter.”

There were many footsteps and they were getting closer.

With a bang, the door of the ward was slammed open forcefully.

The person guarding the door lowered his head, “We couldn’t stop them.”
