Snare of Love

Chapter 663: Let Me Think It Over

Dolores patted him on his hand, “It hurts!”

Matthew laughed in fury, “Are you playing a sympathy-getting ploy?”

Dolores realized that she was wrong. She should not have suspected him, even just a little. Right now,

they were a couple. The most important between a couple was trust.

Earlier, she didn’t fall into the trap after seeing those photos. But this time, it was different. Emma was

quite smart. She didn’t expose things completely but hinted at her to overthink.

Dolores realized that she had been careless, almost falling into the trap.

It was her fault, so she admitted it.

She took the initiative and sat on Matthew’s lap. Wrapping around his neck with her arms, she played

at being cute to him, “Does my sympathy-getting ploy work for you?”

Matthew looked down. Even if he got upset because of being suspected, looking at her pitiful face, he

didn’t have the heart to blame her, “Your sympathy-getting ploy might not work for me. I’m quite cold-

hearted and I don’t know how to treasure beauty. You can play the honey-trap for me.”

Dolores smiled, “Do you think I’m beautiful?”

Matthew carried her in his arms and walked to the room, “If not, why would I want to make love to you

every day?”

Dolores struggles and pushed him, “It’s still daytime. Why are you carrying me into the bedroom?”

“To prove how charming you are.” Matthew kicked the door close.

Dolores was unwilling, “No way. I don’t want it!”

Matthew’s voice rang out behind the door, “What don’t you want?”

“What do you want?” asked Dolores.

“I’ve fallen into your honey-trap, so I’m lured by your beauty. What else can I do?”

“I’m so tired,” Dolores refused, making an excuse, “Doing it too much is bad for the baby.”

In the name of “just getting married”, Matthew kept making love to her. Although the baby had been

bigger and stable, Dolores didn’t believe it would be so strong to bear it.

“Okay. I’ll only hold you without doing anything then.” Matthew held her in his arms. Her worry for the

baby worked more than anything else. He behaved himself immediately.

Matthew kissed her lips, “After giving birth to this baby, we shall have no more.”

Dolores asked, “Is it because you want to satisfy your desire or you care about me?”

“I feel sorry for you.” Matthew held her tightly. When he went to get the examination result, he passed

by the delivery room and heard the women who were giving birth howling and crying. It must hurt a lot.

Otherwise, how could an adult let out such a loud voice?

“Did you cry when giving birth to Amy and Andy?”

Dolores nestled in his arms and whispered, “Yes, I shed tears, but I didn’t let out any screen. Next to

me, a woman kept cursing her husband. It was quite hilarious.”

“If it hurts too much when you give birth, you should curse me as well,” said Matthew dotingly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Dolores laughed, “It’ll be so disgracing. I won’t do it.”

She changed the subject, “Shall we go home tomorrow?”

The elders were staying at home now. Matthew and she couldn’t stay out all the time.

Matthew hummed, “Yeah. Recently, it’s quite dangerous outside. Before the matter of Roger Bailey and

Declan Bailey is done, you’d better stay home if I’m not with you. I’m afraid that they would do

something desperate.”

Although he also kept an eye on the Bailey family, just in case, he couldn’t feel easy until everything

had been settled.

Dolores agreed. She understood what Matthew meant. The woman named Emma was obviously doing

something desperate. She even came over and cast a bone between Matthew and her.

Dolores once again complained about herself for being so silly as she almost fell into the trap.

The next day, Matthew went to work. Dolores went back to the villa. Arriving home, she immediately

went to find Theresa.

She asked Theresa how it went between Armand and her.

Theresa looked down, “We’ve decided to start it over again. I should have listened to you back then

and told him the truth. It turns out that it’s not so difficult to face it after telling him the truth.”

Dolores patted her on the shoulder, “That’s good for you.”

“Uncle and I plan to go back to City C tomorrow,” said Theresa.

“What about Armand?” asked Dolores. She wondered why they separated right after being reconciled.

“I’ve told him about it. He knows I’m going back to City C.” Although they decided to restart, last time

they fell in love too fast, so this time they also decided to take time to get along with each other. After

they’ve made up their mind, Armand would take her to meet his grandmother.

“Did he agree with you?” asked Dolores.

“Yes, he did.” Theresa pressed her lips. Now, Armand was quite obedient to her. He agreed with her on

everything she said.

“I’m so happy for you guys. If you had told him earlier, you didn’t need to be so suffered.”

Theresa lowered her head in silence. It was because she didn’t want to face the fact, all people were

worried about her.

In the evening, Armand came to the villa. He bought a lot of toys for the kids. On one hand, he wanted

to announce to everyone that Theresa and he had decided to start it over again. On the other hand, he

wanted to thank others for taking care of him in the past.

“Didn’t you inform Boyce?” Dolores asked while looking at Armand. All but Boyce were gathering in the

villa.

Armand answered, “I called him, but he wasn’t available. It seemed that Officer Miller invited him for

dinner in his house. Officer Miller has been taking good care of him and likes him a lot.”

Indeed, Office Miller liked Boyce a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t think of letting his daughter marry Boyce.

He invited Boyce to his house in the name of talking business, but in fact, he purposely wanted his

daughter to get along with Boyce.

This time, Officer Miller also directly told Boyce about his idea.

During dinner, he suddenly asked, “Boyce, I always like you. I guess you know it, don’t you?”

Boyce said, “Yes, Officer Miller. You’ve been taking care of me.”

Officer Miller gulped down the liquor. He felt too embarrassed to mention it if he didn’t drink first. If it

weren’t that his wife and daughter kept bothering him about it, he wouldn’t ask Boyce to date his

daughter directly, but after all, it was about his own daughter, “I wonder if you could tell, in fact, Wendy

has a crush on you.”

Boyce was taken aback for a moment. After a long while, he finally realized what Office Miller meant.

“I... I...”

“Don’t be nervous.” Office Miller thought for a moment and continued, “I don’t think you are an outsider.

Let me get straight to the point. I don’t like beating around the bush. You know Wendy’s status well.

She has divorced. I know she doesn’t deserve you...”

“Not at all. I’m not a good man either. Divorcing isn’t a shortage,” Boyce immediately said, “It was

because that man failed to restrain himself when facing the seduction. It was not Wendy’s fault.”

Officer Miller heaved a sigh, “I’m so glad that you said so.”

Boyce didn’t answer. He almost knew what Officer Miller wanted to tell him now. For a moment, his

mind was messy. He didn’t know what to do.

“Boyce, you are not young either. Would you... like to think about it?” Officer Miller blushed. As Boyce’s

boss, he asked Boyce to date his daughter who divorced. He felt quite shameful.

“If you are not willing, you can ignore my words,” Officer Miller added.

It happened quite suddenly. It was so sudden that Boyce didn’t know how to refuse.

Officer Miller had been taking good care of him always. Wendy was not bad. However, since that time it

didn’t work, he had never thought about getting married again.

“Come one. Let’s drink. Just take it as if I didn’t mention anything.” Officer Miller poured a glass of

liquor for Boyce.

Boyce was silent.

Officer Miller picked up the glass and clinked his, “Let’s bottom it up.”

Boyce picked up the glass. After thinking for a moment, he said, “It happened too suddenly. I don’t

know how to answer yet for a moment.”

“Don’t be nervous. After all, Wendy doesn’t deserve you.” Office Miller didn’t say those words purposely

to Boyce, because he believed that the divorced woman had lower social status than others. He had

some ancient thoughts. Even Wendy was his daughter, he also thought so.

Boyce was single, never married. He had integrity. Office Miller liked him a lot.

If Wendy weren’t his daughter, he wouldn’t let Boyce date any divorced woman.

Boyce was in a dilemma. He said, “Please stop saying that. It’s too sudden. Please allow me to think it

over.”
