Snare of Love novel Chapter 466

Marina didn’t expect Dolores to come to visit. She continued to be friendly to Dolores considering Dolores’ relationship with Matthew.

“You came alone?” asked Marina.

“Yes,” Dolores replied softly.

“Who came…” Jeffrey asked while he walked out of the study room. Then, he stopped when he saw Dolores.

Jeffrey looked worried. He didn’t expect Dolores to come to visit either. Matthew looked behind Dolores, and he was a little disappointed when he didn’t see Matthew.

“What do you come here for?” Jeffrey asked in an indifferent tone.

Dolores stood still and stared at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was related to Dolores in so many ways. She should be feeling happy and nervous when she found out about their relationship.

However, Dolores only felt sorrow.

Jeffrey became nervous after being stared at for too long. He looked away and asked Dolores, “Why do you looking at me like that?”

Dolores continued staring at Jeffrey. She spoke slowly and softly, “Can I talk to you for a second?”

Jeffrey looked sulky, “Did he asked you to come here?”

Jeffrey thought Matthew asked Dolores to be the middleman to reconcile their relationship.

Jeffrey was happy at first.

“No, he didn’t know I’m here.”

Jeffrey frowned and looked unhappy, “I’m nothing to say to you then.”

“Are we enemy now? Can’t we just talk?” Dolores was initially calm, but she was triggered after hearing what Jeffrey said. It wasn’t Jeffrey’s words that hurt her. It was the complicated relationship between them that made Dolores weak and exhausted.

Jeffrey pouted and remained silent.

Marina smiled and tried to mediate between Dolores and Jeffrey. She pulled Jeffrey’s sleeves, “She’s not an outsider. She might have something important to talk to you about. Don’t look at her as an enemy.”

Jeffrey looked less sulky after hearing what Marina said. Marina led Jeffrey into the study room, then she turned around and looked at Dolores, “You should come in too.”

Marina put Jeffrey in his chair and lowered her voice, “Think about Matthew. Do you really want to dissociate your sister’s only child? I know you didn’t want to. So, keep your long face away. If there’s a fallout, you’re the one who’s going to be unhappy.”

Marina knew her husband well. So, what she said were meant to hit his soft spots. Jeffrey finally calmed down. He looked at Marina and said, “Please leave us alone.”

Jeffrey was curious why Dolores came to him today as well.

Marina patted Jeffrey’s shoulder, then she smiled at Dolores, “Do you want anything to drink?”

Dolores shook her head, “I’m fine.”

“Then, sit,” Marina got a chair for Dolores.

Dolores thanked Marina and sat down. A long tea table laid between Dolores and Jeffrey. Marina walked out of the study and closed the door.

“Now, why did you come here today?” Jeffrey made the first move.

Dolores pouted, then looked at Jeffrey earnestly, “We’re not enemy. Not now. Not ever.”

Jeffrey was stunned when his eyes met with Dolores’. He felt restless.

“Today, I came here for an answer. I hope you’d tell me the truth,” Dolores looked nervous, scared and curious.

Dolores was afraid that Jeffrey was related to Victoria’s death.

But Dolores had to face the truth regardless it was a good one or a bad one.

Dolores had no choice. Her voice was shaking, “Did you kill Victoria?”

Jeffrey looked at Dolores in silence. He squinted his eyes, “This is what you want to ask?”

Dolores nodded and replied in an affirmed tone, “Yes.”

…

After a while, Jeffrey said, “Yes.”

“I’m worried about you. Did my father do something to you?” Sean was enraged. He looked like he was going to fight with Jeffrey any minute.

Dolores pulled Sean’s shirt. She shook her head and said, “No.” It was like the meeting just now drew all Dolores’ strength out of her body. Her legs went weak. Dolores tried to stand up with the strength she had left, “Can you do me a favour?”

“Sure,” Sean could see that Dolores was weak. He was worried, “Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Dolores shook her head, “Just get me into the car.”

Dolores needed to rest and restore her energy. She can’t go home looking like this.

Matthew would find out that she was hiding something.

Sean can’t stand seeing Dolores like this. He carried her in his arms and walked towards her car.

Dolores’ bodyguard opened the car door. Then, Sean put Dolores into the car.

Sean too got into the car after Dolores. He was worried.

Dolores closed her eyes and rested her forehead on her hand. At the same time, she rubbed her temple with her hand and tried to keep herself awake. Then, she told the bodyguard, “Give me a bottle of water.”

They always kept bottles of water in the car. The bodyguard quickly handed the bottle of mineral water to Dolores. She opened the cap and chugged some water down her throat. After a while, Dolores felt better. The dryness and bitterness in her mouth were gone. Dolores looked at Sean, “I have to go home now.”

“My father didn’t quarrel with you? For real?” It was not that Sean didn’t believe in Dolores, but Dolores wasn’t looking good after she got out of the Harris manor. He had to expect the worst.

Dolores shook her head and said, “It’s getting late. I should head home now.”

Sean had no choice but to get out of the car since Dolores had put it this way. He can’t follow Dolores to the villa. He didn’t think he knew how to face Matthew.

Sean got off of the car and closed the door for Dolores.

“Let’s go,” Dolores said calmly.

The car took some time to arrive at the villa. Dolores didn’t get off of the car immediately, but instead, she patted her face to put herself together. Dolores only opened the car door when she felt like she was ready to face people.

When Dolores got off of the car, she saw two other cars stop in the garden.
