Snare of Love

Chapter 178: Let’s Have an Infant Matrimony

In his embrace, Samuel could clearly feel that Matthew’s chest was trembling as well.

He reached out to hug Matthew. No matter how he liked Mommy Samuel could feel that he was truly

uneasy and guilty at this moment.

“We’ll go to find her.” Matthew made Samuel look into his eyes, “Would you come with us?”

“Yes,” Samuel answered without any hesitation.

“But, how about Simona? If Mommy and I were not here, she would make a fuss,” Samuel said

worriedly.

“Daddy!”

Simona saw Matthew and trotted out from the house, rushing over. She reached out her chubby arms

and hugged his legs, “Daddy.” She raised her head, and her pink lips pouted, “Daddy, can you release

Samuel and hold me?”

As she spoke, she widened her eyes and blinked, “Samuel is a man now. He doesn’t need a hug. Hug

me!”

Samuel was speechless.

Matthew squatted down, holding the little girl into his arms. The little girl was in a pink dress today with

a ponytail behind her head. There was short hair on her forehead, but her full forehead and watery big This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

eyes were exposed. She wrapped around Matthew's neck tightly and rubbed his face with her face,

“Daddy, you came home. Why isn’t Mommy with you? I haven’t seen her for several days. We have

never parted before. I miss her so much.”

Matthew looked in distance, pressing two small hands on his chest. He tried his best to say calmly, “I’ll

take you to find her.”

“Really?” Simona was a bit excited, “Is Mommy playing hide and seek with us? So we should go find

her, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Whoa! I’m so happy!” Simon twisted her little body excitedly in his arms. However, Samuel wasn’t so

delighted as her, “It’s so good to be a child.”

Simon heard it and turned to glare at him, “You were just born only a few minutes earlier than me. You

are not that older than me. Even Grandma said you are the extra one.’

Samuel frowned, his whole face wrinkled, “Grandma said you are the extra one.”

Jessica walked out of the house. She wore an apron and put her hands in front, “You guys, come on in.

Time for dinner.”

“Grandma, Samuel is the extra child, isn’t he?” Simona asked quickly to prove what she said was real.

In her opinion, whoever asked first would be proved right.

It was quite easy to read the little girl’s mind. She was simpler than her brother and she didn’t think

much. Jessica teased her with a smile, “You are the extra one.”

Simona was unhappy, pouting, “Why isn’t Samuel the extra one? He’s so... hateful!”

Samuel snatched Daddy’s embrace from her.

Hence, Simona decided that Samuel was hateful.

Jessie took a glance at Matthew and said, “It was because, in the beginning, there was only one baby

in your mommy’s belly. Later, another one was found. Isn’t the one found later the extra one?”

Simona wasn’t convinced, “That one should be Samuel. He is the extra one!”

“But Samuel was born first...”

“I don’t care. Samuel is the extra one.” Simona acted shamelessly. She played at being cute while

wrapping around Matthew’s neck tightly, “Daddy, is Samuel the extra one?”

Matthew lifted her and rubbed her hair, “Neither of you is.”

“Come on. Let’s go for dinner.” Jessica pulled Samuel’s hand.

“I want to take them both out for a trip. Dolores is missing them.” Taking the chance that the

atmosphere was lively, Matthew told Jessica that they were going out.

Jessica agreed, “OK.”

She sensed something wrong, but she thought that she had overthought.

Seeing that both kids, especially Simona liked Matthew so much, Jessica wished that he could form a

family with Dolores. Hence, it was not bad for them to be together more and develop family affection.

“When will you come back?” asked Jessica.

Matthew had no idea when he would be able to find her. He said, “Not decided yet. I want to take them

out for fun. I don’t want to be interrupted, so we wouldn’t contact anyone domestically.”

Jessica nodded, “I see. When are you leaving?”

“Tonight.”

“That’s so soon.”

“Yeah.” Matthew didn’t explain, as he didn’t want to waste any time.

“Go ahead to have dinner. I’ll pack the clothes for the kids.” Jessica took off the apron and walked to

the kids’ rooms.

Matthew took the children to wash their hands. Simona was quite clingy to him. She wanted to remain

in his arms, unwilling to get down. Matthew held her to wash and back to the dining room, letting her sit

on his lap.

Coral served the dishes and asked, “Hasn’t Missus come back yet?”

The way how she addressed Dolores had been changed again.

In her opinion, since Dolores gave birth to two children, she should be Missus of the Nelson family now.

Matthew picked food for Simona. Without raising his head, he hummed.

He didn’t want to talk about Dolores at all. The more he spoke about it, the easier others would find

something wrong.

Coral always took care of him, so she knew him very well. She had realized that he wasn’t willing to

talk about this matter with such a tone. Hence, she didn’t keep asking sensibly.

“Daddy, eat this.” Simona picked up a piece of broccoli with her spoon and reached it to Matthew’s lips.

The little girl blinked, her eyes full of expectation.

Matthew opened his mouth and ate the broccoli. Although he didn’t have any appetite now, he still

slightly chew it.

“Do you like it?” Simona smiled happily, “Mommy’s broccoli is yummier!”

Matthew had a solemn face. Both kids kept mentioning Dolores all the time, so he could tell how deeply

they loved Dolores.

Samuel cast a glance at his sister. Pressing his lips, he lowered his eyes, stuffed a few bites of food in

his mouth, and put down the chopsticks. He didn’t have any appetite since Mommy hadn’t be found.

“I’m full. I’ll go check if Grandma has finished packing.” After that, he slipped down from the chair and

walked to his room.

“Samuel, why did you just eat that little food?” Simona looked at her brother. Although they always

argued or fought with each other, they cared more about each other.

“I’m full, Simona.” Samuel smiled at her.

“Samuel, you are not the extra one,” suddenly Simona said to him seriously.

Samuel smiled.

After dinner, Boyce came over with his men and cars. Knowing that Matthew would take both kids

along, he had prepared a caravan for them, so that the kids could have good rest on the wall. Besides

it, there were three off-road vehicles and seven men skilled in fighting, and they were trustworthy.

When Boyce saw Samuel, he said, “Matthew, he looks like you so much. Look at his eyes and nose.”

“How about me? Do I look like Daddy?” Simona asked while raising her head.

Boyce squatted down, looking at the little girl carefully. She was quite fair. Her eyes were bright. When

she blinked, her eyes looked like sparkling stars. Reaching out, he pinched her cheek. Before his finger

reached her face, his wrist was grabbed. He looked up and saw Matthew’s cold face.

Boyce was confused, “I just want to pinch her cheek. I know she’s your daughter. How can you be so

petty?”

Wasn’t it normal to touch their hair, pinch their cheeks, kiss them, and hug them when teasing children?

Besides, he didn’t want to kiss or hug her.

Matthew shook off his hand, “Don’t touch her with your hand.”

Simona was a girl. He felt disgusted if her face was touched by someone especially a man.

He held his daughter in his arms and pulled his son’s hand, “Let’s go if everything is ready.”

After finishing his words, he walked away.

Boyce stood motionlessly in confusion. He looked down at his hands. His hands were not dirty. He

couldn’t understand why Matthew was so petty.

He rushed over to catch up with Matthew, “Wait, Matthew. I must talk to you.”

He wasn’t a nasty man, but why was Matthew so alerted to him?

“I understand you love your kids. After all, you finally have the children when you are old, but you can’t

be so petty...”

Matthew looked back, “Pardon me? Did you say I have my children when I’m old?

He didn’t himself old.

Boyce clicked his tongue, “Oh, you are not old.”

Inwardly, he bitched about Matthew - he was over thirty, almost forty. Of course, he was old in Boyce's

opinion.

He walked over and said, “In the future, I’ll get a son. Let’s have the infant matrimony, shall we?”

Boyce thought to himself, ‘Matthew, you forbid me to touch your daughter. I’ll get a son and marry her

in the future. Your daughter will be my daughter-in-law.’

Thinking of that, Boyce giggled.

Matthew’s face was suddenly darkened.

Boyce reacted quite fast. Before Matthew could blow upon him, he rushed to get in the car.

Simona blinked, “Daddy, what is infant matrimony?”

Matthew was speechless.

He stroked her hair and took her into the car, “He’s talking nonsense.”
