Snare of Love

Chapter 204 Who Was His Sister

“I know it,” Dolores noticed it earlier. Since the appearance of the tea silk, she knew that Charles did it

purposely.

But she was curious about the purpose of Charles. She recalled the past, “He saves me because of the

jade bracelet, what is the relationship between him and Victoria?”

She looked at Matthew, she knew that he did not like the woman and even hated others to mention her.

But she could feel that Charles and the master had some kind of relationship with Victoria because she

found the master look at her bracelet secretively, “What is the story behind the jade bracelet?”

Matthew was not clear about it. He was a man, he did not need that. His family did not tell him about it

too. So, he did not even know whether the jade bracelet was a relic of the Nelson family.

“So you want to stay here and find up the truth?” Although he asked in an inquiring tone, he affirmed

that she really wanted to do so.

The woman…

He closed his eyes and suppressed his emotion. Then, he talked to her patiently, “You don’t know what

is their intention and stay here. Do you think of Simona, Samuel and me if anything happens to you?”

She admitted that she was really thoughtless on that part but she wanted to clear up her confusion as

she thought that Victoria was not a bad woman.

“You will protect me,” she held his arm and leaned against his body.

Matthew was stiff as she became so initiative at once, then he returned to his natural state.

He could not reject her request.

She was so assertive, he had no choice at all.

He could not scold her, beat her and persuade her. So, he could just obey her.

Matthew held her in his arms, “What can I do with you?”

Dolores lay in his arms and looked at faraway. Actually, he wanted to know Victoria’s past because of

Matthew.

If the man were not the father of her children and she fell in love with him, she would not take the risk.

She stretched her arms and hugged his thin waist, “I will protect myself.”

Matthew held her head and kissed her forehead affectionately, “I will wait for you.”

Dolores did not want to stay too far away from her children, so she nodded.

Matthew decided to stay including Boyce and the rest. Armand and Theresa went back to the hotel and

packed things. There was a yard for them to stay behind the old’s wooden house.

But there was a condition, they were not allowed to step in the backyard.

There were only he and Dolores staying in the backyard until she mastered the skill totally. Then, she

could come out of there.

It seemed like the modern enclosed training.

The house behind was made of wood but the inner part was modern and had a lot of high-tech stuff.

Everything was put in their respective places, they were neat and tidy. Obviously, it was often being

tidied up or someone entered frequently.

The old passed a notebook to her, “It is made by me, you can read it. Have you gotten in touch with this

stuff before?”

Dolores received it and said honestly, “I never get in touch with the machines that make the material

but I know a lot of materials. I know their characteristics and what are they suitable to be made for.”

The old nodded, he seemed to be satisfied with her answer.

He was gloomy after seeing the things in the house, “They will never see the light of day again.”

“Master, why do you say so?” She was curious about why the tea silk would be lost.

“Why don’t you leave here…”

“Read the notebook that I give you, I will test you tomorrow,” The old left after saying that.

Obviously, he was reluctant to share the reason with her.

Dolores took it easy. It was the first day, she thought that she would find up the answer she wanted

sooner or later.

The backyard was different from the front yard, there were a few rooms. Besides the machine rooms,

there were two wing rooms in the backyard. They were small, no space was available after being

occupied by the bed and table but the place was silent.

She could focus on her reading.

Dolores sat and read for the whole day.

The old visited her for a few times. He was glad that she was persistent.

At night, the old had cooked the meal and asked Dolores to eat it.

There was a small square wooden table and two small stools in the yard. Two dishes were placed on

the table which was fish and vegetables.

Dolores took the bowls initiatively and gave him the chopsticks, “Master.”

The old smiled.

It was the first time Dolores saw him smile, she felt that he was amiable.

“The fish is caught by me in the river. No pollution at all, feel safe to eat it,” The old put a slice of fish’s

flesh in her bowl, “Taste it.”

Randolph never treated her well like him before. Not knowing why, she felt a sense of sourness. She

lowered her head and put the flesh of the fish in her mouth.

Not much seasoning was added to the fish, the taste was original. The flesh was fine, slightly salty and

slightly sweet. It tasted special.

“Have you put sugar?” Dolores asked.

“No, the flesh is sweet originally for this specific type of fish. Others don’t taste this way,” the old said

calmly. He was patient when answering her question.

After that, Dolores asked him a lot of questions regarding the notebook which she did not understand

clearly.

The old answered patiently.

Dolores passed her life steadily there for a week. She never stepped out of the backyard within the

week.

Most of the time, she stayed in the machine room and got familiar with the operation of machines. She Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

had not yet learnt anything deep.

She took it easy. She thought that the old would teach her when the time reached.

Another night, the same place, the same dishes, two bowls of rice and two people.

“Master, do you have any family members?” Dolores seemed to ask him unintentionally.

The old stopped moving for a while. Then, he put the vegetables in his mouth and chewed slowly, he

said afterwards, “Yes.”

“Why they never come back?”

The old finally looked up at her. Obviously, she was asking about his personal thing.

Dolores explained quickly, “I simply ask…”

“I have a younger sister.”

The old interrupted her from explaining.

He made a decision after Charles found him. Even if he would break the promise, he also wanted the

Forbis family to pass the skill of making the tea silk down from generation to generation.

He stayed Dolores here and taught her the skill of making tea silk. There must be something he could

not conceal from her.

After a few days of observation, he thought that Dolores was a good woman. She was patient, smart

and learnt things fast. He did not have to guide her harshly.

“Does she marry a man in a different village?” Dolores asked him since he was willing to share.

“Not a different village, it is just a place far from here. She seldom comes back, I am the only one

staying here but I have contacted her. She will come back sooner or later.”

The old said calmly.

But his tone was sad.

He looked at Dolores, “Just ask her anything you want when you meet her.”

Dolores looked at the old surprisingly, he knew that she had some queries.

And it seemed like his sister knew the answer she wanted.

Who was his sister?
