Snare of Love novel Chapter 454

Eddie turned around to look at Jeffery. “What’s wrong if I do like her?”

Jeffery panted. “It seems our relationship should end.”

“Can’t I have the right to like a woman?”

Jeffery was silent.

He didn’t forbid Eddie to like his sister, but he felt quite awkward. They had been best friends for so many years. He had thought that Eddie just treated Jolene as his own younger sister.

Much to his surprise, Eddie had that kind of mind...

“A man is bitter but not content.”

Eddie knew what it meant. However, he suffered a lot that the knot in his heart couldn’t be resolve at all. He had a crush on Jolene when he was young. His yearning for her had become the obsession that he couldn’t gain her heart.

He always believed that if Jolene could have married him, she wouldn’t pass away so early. They would lead happy life. At least, he loved her and could care and dote her.

“Good that you understand it. You’d better behave yourself. You are so old now. If your wife dumped you and your family was broken, others would mock you.” Jeffery turned around and walked out of the study.

Sitting in the car, he felt so depressed. The adjutant asked, “Would you like to go home?”

“Go to the cemetery.” Jeffery started missing Jolene. He wanted to visit her.

The adjutant drove towards the cemetery in suburbia. Once, Jeffery mentioned the cemetery, the adjutant knew whom he was going to visit.

“Wait. I’ll get a bouquet in the florist shop first. Otherwise, there’s nothing in her graveyard. She would be quite lonely.”

The adjutant turned around in the intersection ahead.

Jeffery didn’t buy the chrysanthemums. Instead, he bought a bouquet of iris proantha, which was Jolene’s favorite when she was alive.

Holding the bouquet, Jeffery sat back in the car. When the adjutant was starting the engine, Jeffery cast a casual glance out of the window, only to find Victoria and Dolores on the street with two kids, followed by a few bodyguards.

“We can’t stay outside for a long time. You would be too exhausted. Let’s go home after buying the cake.” Victoria was worried about Dolores’s strength.

Dolores agreed.

The two kids suddenly wanted to eat the thousand-layered mousse cake. Dolores didn’t think it would take a long time. She also wanted to have a walk with the kids.

“I’ll go get the cake. Please wait for me here.” Victoria entered the cake store.

Jeffery couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but he could see that they looked quite happy. Immediately, he withdrew his gaze. Looking down at the flowers in his arms, he stroked them gently.

He muttered to himself, “Your son is a big trouble.”

The car roared away. Jeffery still didn’t look back. He only bent down his head while looking at the flowers in his arms.

Victoria came out with the cake. “Let’s go home.”

“Yeah! Let’s go home for cake!” Simona said excitedly.

Victoria smiled. “Silly girl, do you still have a space for it?”

“Of course. I have,” Simona immediately emphasized as if she couldn’t be allowed to eat it.

“Let’s get in the car.”

Dolores stood in front of the door and let the kids get in first. Simona seemed to haven’t enjoyed herself outside yet. “There seems to be something fun at night as well.”

Victoria patted her on her little butt. “I’ll take you guys out for fun tomorrow.”

“Will Mommy come with us?” Simona turned around and looked at Dolores. She blinked with expectant.

“Isn’t it the same if I come out with you? Don’t you know there’s a little baby in Mommy’s belly?”

Dolores nodded. She didn’t feel tired or uncomfortable, but she was sleepy. She stood up. “Okay. I’ll go take a nap.”

She walked upstairs steadily and quietly. She turned on the light, the bedroom became bright. The lilies on the nightstand looked kind of withered.

However, she was reluctant to toss them away. Reaching out, she touched the petals, which still emanated faint fragrance. She planned to buy another bouquet to change them some other day.

It would look more lively with a bouquet in the room.

She lay down without taking a shower. She was too sleepy to move. Tucking her into the quilt, as soon as she lay down, she fell asleep.

At night, she heard some movements dizzily. She opened her eyes. The light in the room wasn’t on. Moonlight fell in from the outside of the window. She saw a figure in the room.

Just waking up, she said in a hoarse tone, “You are back.”

He took off the suit jacket and walked over. “Did I wake you up?”

Dolores hummed. She woke up after hearing the movements.

She fumbled for her cell phone and took a look at the time -- it was already past two in the morning. “Why so late?”

“I was busy with some business earlier. I’ll go take a shower. Go back to your sleep.” He came over to stroke her cheeks, which were warm with smooth skin. He enjoyed stroking her.

Feeling tickled, Dolores turned away. Matthew smiled. “Good night.”

He turned around and walked to the bathroom. While walking, he unbuckled his belt, letting out a cracking sound of the metal. He turned on the light after entering. Soon, Dolores heard the sound of the running water.

She was way too sleepy. Although there were sounds, she gradually fell asleep again. However, she faintly felt the mattress sink next to her. Her waist was wrapped by a strong arm along with a faint fragrance from the shower gel. His cool and soft lips clung to the back of her neck. He kept kissing and biting her gently. It didn’t hurt but tickled. Dolores mumbled, “I’m sleepy.”

“Ehn. Go ahead to sleep.” His lips didn’t leave her skin. His kisses changed to rubs.

Dolores creased her brows. She couldn’t sleep soundly at all when he was bothering her in this way.
