Chapter 63: A Trap
Chapter 63: A Trap
Samuel lowered his head and said nothing.
Dolores frowned, “Say something.”
Samuel rubbed his hand on another, “He did something bad to mummy, so I need to kick his ass for
mummy.”
Dolores frowned harder. Samuel had been stressing the fact that Matthew was hurting her before too.
He...
Suddenly Dolores opened her eyes wide. Did Samuel see that Matthew forced himself on her and
kissed her?
“Samuel...”
Dolores didn’t know how to explain to Samuel.
Samuel firmly patted his own chest and said, “Mummy, though I and Simona don’t have a father, I am a
man now. I will protect you.”
Hearing Samuel say that they didn’t have a father, Dolores felt like her heart was suddenly stung by
something. It was a fact that she had been purposely ignoring.
She didn’t want to mention this.
She thought that as long as she loved them very much, they would forget that they didn’t have a father.
However, when the matter was suddenly mentioned by her son, she could only feel her chest hurting
silently.
She hugged her son and lowered her head to kiss on his hair. Though he was indeed smart, he was
only five years old, which made him still a kid.
But he said he would protect her.
Her hand rubbed on Samuel’s back, “It is mummy who should protect you...”
Samuel disagreed and shook his head, “It should be men who protect women. I am a man, so I will
protect you.”
“...”
Dolores didn’t know what to say. She looked at her son and thought how old he was and why he was
chauvinistic in personality already?
“Who taught you?” Dolores frowned and asked.
Samuel blinked his big eyes and thought for two seconds, “My teacher.”
Dolores carried her son to take him to a bath while thinking on the inside whether she should go talk to
his teacher.
Was it appropriate to tell such a young child such things?
“Mummy, actually my teacher is handsome and he is good to me...”
“Stop!” Dolores interrupted her son. He was such a little child, how could he have such complicated
thoughts?
Samuel muttered, “Even though you don’t think for yourself, I have to.”
“...”
Dolores dropped him into the water, “From now on, you will leave adult’s business alone.”
“Why?” Samuel asked.
“There is no why. This is my decision. Didn’t your teacher tell you to listen to and do what your mother
says?”
Samuel lowered his head and nodded. His teacher did say that children should listen to grown-ups.
His teacher also said that mummy was very tired trying to raise him and his sister up.
So he shouldn’t make his mummy angry.
But if he had a father, mummy wouldn’t be so tired.
However, mummy never mentioned this. And he dared not to ask.
Grandma didn’t allow him to ask either.
Samuel thought his father must be an irresponsible man who had abandoned mummy.
Samuel reached his hands to hug Dolores, “Mummy, I love you.”
Dolores felt like a stream of warmth was traveling through her heart. It was like a spring which wrapped This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
her around slowly.
Everything was worth it. Seeing her two kids being so adorable and sensible, she felt content.
She kissed Samuel on his cheek, “Mummy loves you too.”
Though two kids were all under Jessica’s care during the day, at night it was all Dolores who took care
of them.
She tugged them to sleep since they were babies.
She was busy during the day and didn’t have much time to accompany the kids. So at night she was
closest to the kids.
She told them stories.
The kids nuzzled up against her chest, which made her feel on top of the world.
They were families bonded by blood.
When Dolores left for work, Samuel wanted to follow her. He said he wanted to protect her. He looked
quite determined and didn’t accept “NO” as an answer.
Even though Dolores wanted to reject him, she couldn’t.
“What kind of danger will I face when I am working?” Dolores was neither able to cry nor laugh.
As an adult, she needed to be protected by a kid now
“I don’t care.” Samuel said firmly. He almost blurted out what if the bastard Matthew came to hurt you
again?
Though he was a little kid, he thought a lot.
Dolores couldn’t persuade him. She agreed to take him to work. Jessica took care of Simona at home.
After they got out, Samuel got in the car by himself. Dolores fastened his safety belt and closed the car
door. When she was about to sit on the driver’s seat, she noticed someone in a car nearby was
peeking at her.
Her body tensed up. Then she thought she didn’t offend anyone in this area. Maybe it was her illusion?
Who would peek at people under broad daylight?
So she didn’t think too much and got in the car.
As usual, she had breakfast at home and drove directly to LEO.
However, through the rearview mirror, Dolores accidentally found the car which she noticed before was
following her.
Her hands grabbed the steering wheel tightly. If it was her illusion before, what about now?
She felt like her heart was grabbed by something.
She had to figure it out.
There were not many cars on road in morning, so Dolores couldn’t get rid of the stalking car.
She thought a lot. In order to prevent her son from any danger, she slowed her car. When she arrived
at the shop, it was thirty minutes later. Almost everyone was here now.
She got out the car and asked Samuel to get out too. Then they entered the shop.
It was crowded in the shop, so if the man following her was planning something evil, he dared not to
just step in.
After she made some arrangements and ensured Samuel would be safe, Dolores walked to the car.
She wanted to find out who was stalking her and what he was up to.
There was black film on the car windows, so Dolores couldn’t see who was inside. She raised her hand
and knocked on the window.
Nobody responded and the window didn’t descend either.
Dolores stood in front of the car, “You followed me all the way here and got caught up now. And yet you
are still hiding. What’s the point?”
Inside the car, Abbott scratched his hair. He came to investigate into Dolores but he was in a rush and
hadn’t gotten much sleep these two days. He slept in the car last night. So he wasn’t mentally fine. And
that was why he got caught up by Dolores.
Abbott covered his face with his hands and rubbed them on it, which made him feel fresher.
He lowered the window and smiled, greeting, “Long time no see.”
Dolores stared at him for two seconds, “What are you doing here?”
She was surprised.
Abbott suffered from an anonymous guilty conscience and kept avoiding Dolores’ eyes, “Em...I have
some business to take care of here.”
Dolores smiled coldly. Matthew came here yesterday, and Abbott just happened to have some
business to take care of here today?
Wasn’t it a big coincidence?
“What did he ask you to do here?” Dolores had no intention to chat with him and asked directly.
Abbott insisted to say nothing.
He couldn’t just say that Matthew asked him to investigate into her, right?
Nobody would be happy after learning that she was being investigating by others, right?
“Do I need to call him to find out why?” Dolores was turning tough.
Abbott was shocked by Dolores’ attitude. He couldn’t help but check her from bottom to top. No matter
in the way she talked or the way she looked, she was totally different.
She was a woman now.
And she was a girl before.
Abbott scratched his hair, “Em...Mr. Nelson wants to know where you live.”
Then it was silence.
Dolores turned around and walked to the shop.
She decided that she needed to move to another place.
She didn’t want to be disturbed.
Especially by Matthew!
“Ms. Flores...” Abbott wanted to explain.
Dolores gave him no chance to talk and walked straight into ELO.
Abbott pursed his lips. He felt like he was a poor victim during a fight between immortals.
When Dolores was thinking about moving to another place, Matthew who was in City B of China was
invited to dine with the Herbert family.
If Matthew had not canceled the engagement with Maria, it would be a great opportunity for the two
families to enhance their relationship.
However, being invited to dine with them now, he felt like it was a trap.
But it would happen sooner or later, so Matthew had prepared himself.
Maria dressed nicely. The whole Herbert family was present.
Including Sampson who was always abroad most time of a year.
The hall was splendid. Everything seemed cheerful.
Wearing a black suit, Matthew walked into the hall. He was shrouded with the splendid light.
When seeing Matthew walking in, Sampson changed his eye look suddenly...
