Snare of Love

Chapter 242 Conquer Fear

“I should take responsibility for the incident that occurred in my area. I must settle it for you.”

Firstly, he was in a cooperative relationship with Matthew. Besides, the people who did that kind of

thing in his area was challenging him.

He could not endure others acting rebelliously in his area. How was he going to manage his industry in

the future?

As a leader, he should always tolerate but not all the time.

The hotel manager seemed to notice the backbone, he walked forwards and said, “I have seen the

CCTV, the opponent seems to know clearly about our CCTV areas. I have interrogated the delivery

man that sends the gift box but no useful hints can be found…”

Charles looked up, he looked at Matthew who stayed silent all the time. There was a French window

behind the sofa. The sunlight was bright, Charles could not see his face clearly under the light. Charles

considered for a while and said, “The opponent targets Ms. Flores obviously. May I know does Mr.

Nelson figure out any suspects?”

When Boyce and Armand interrogated the delivery man, he made reasoning. Sampson would not take

the risk to deliver the stuff to scare Dolores and her children.

It was not beneficial for him. If Sampson still had an obsession with Dolores, he would seek chance to

kidnap her or kidnap her children to threaten her.

It was obviously not beneficial for him to create this incident.

If he left any flaws, they would have the clues to find him up.

“This is Mr. White’s area, you should settle it for me as the incident occurred here. Can Mr. White give

me a satisfying result within two days?”

Charles frowned, he did not expect Matthew to throw everything to him. According to his characteristic,

he should investigate it by himself and punished the bad guys as the opponent harmed his wife and

children, right?

Matthew curved his lips, “I believe that Mr. White can investigate it because we don’t offend anyone

when we are here. If we do, we only offend the woman by Mr. White’s side.”

Matthew reminded him of something. Did he suspect Lacey?

But Lacey did not blame Dolores on that day because it was her cousin who created the trouble first.

Furthermore, he did not expect that Lacey would do that kind of thing!

“Is she innocent? Mr. White can investigate it by yourself.”

Matthew did not want to argue with him. Matthew lifted Samuel who lay in Dolores’s arms. It was the

first time he lifted his son. Samuel was strong, he was heavier than Simona. Although he had the same

age as Simona, he was taller than her.

Samuel wanted someone to hug him at the moment no matter who. He just did not want to stay alone,

he would have a bee in his mind. The face of the doll kept appearing in his mind…He could not control

himself to shiver after thinking of it.

“Of course, if Mr. White is reluctant to do so, I can help you. However, don’t blame me for not giving you

face afterwards.”

After Matthew said that, his sharp sight rested on Charles’s dumbfounded face for a second. Then, he

left along with his son.

Boyce and Armand looked at each other. Did Matthew confirm the suspect already?

“If it is she, I must take responsibility for it,” Charles showed a strict expression and looked at Dolores.

Dolores did not say much, she was tired. She lifted her daughter and asked others to have their meal.

They were busy for the entire day yet the incident occurred. Everyone had not eaten their meal.

Although the issue needed to be settled, they should not starve.

“Boyce, you eat first. I will call Matthew,” Dolores stood up.

“Lola, let me take care of Simona. You should be hungry too, it is 2 p.m. now.”

Dolores caressed her daughter’s forehead and passed her to Theresa.

Simona was obedient, she went into Theresa’s arms.

Matthew did not go back to the room and hotel with Samuel. Dolores searched for them in the hotel. At

last, she saw Matthew in the backyard of the hotel.

Samuel and he sat on the staircase and formed a big and small silhouette. Dolores slowed down her

pace, they seemed to be talking.

“Samuel, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?”

Samuel kept his legs together and hugged himself with his arms.

He said without hesitation, “I want to be someone who can protect mommy when I grow up.”

“A fake toy has frightened you, how can you protect her?” Matthew said sharply. He did not treat

Samuel generously even if he was still a kid.

Samuel blinked and thought of the doll again, “But the doll is horrible…”

“It is fake,” Matthew interrupted him.

Samuel was speechless. Yes, the doll was fake but it looked real. Actually, it was just a plastic product. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

He clutched his small hands, “I…I am not afraid of it.”

Actually, he was still afraid of it.

But he did not want to lose his face in front of Matthew.

“Then, do you dare to see it again with me?”

Samuel was speechless.

Dolores was annoyed after hearing his words. Samuel had been frightened and he asked Samuel to

see it again. It would leave a terrible memory in his mind.

“Samuel,” Dolores ran towards them quickly and hugged her son. She stared at Matthew and said

fiercely, “You know that he is afraid of that, why do you want him to see it again? He will be frightened!”

Matthew did not explain when facing Dolores’s query. He looked at Samuel who stayed in Dolores’s

arms, “Do you dare to do so?”

“Matthew Nelson!”

Dolores was upset, she called his name.

Matthew did not bother her, he continued to talk with Samuel, “How long can you stay in your mommy’s

arms? How long can she protect you?”

Samuel opened his eyes big. His long eyelashes flapped. He would grow up one day and face a lot of

things. If he could not conquer it, how was he going to face the challenges in the future?

He took the courage and looked at Matthew, “I dare.”

Even though he was scared, he wanted to challenge himself.

“Samuel.”

Dolores was worried.

“Mommy, don’t worry. You can protect me for a while but not forever. After I become stronger, I will

protect you,” Samuel said firmly.

Dolores kept silent.

Although Matthew’s way was cruel, she admitted that he did it right.

She was just afraid that Samuel could not bear with it.

He was so young, if anything happened to him, she would regret it forever.

“He is my son,” Matthew did not explain much. He held Samuel’s hand and walked towards the hotel.

They did not take the lift while they walked up the stairs.

Pap, pap…

The sound of their steps reverberated along the empty staircase. It was deadly silent and scary.

“There is no ghost in this world, we are the ones that frighten ourselves,” Matthew did not take the lift

purposely but they walked up the stairs that no people there.

Samuel knew what he meant.

He was nervous when he walked up the stairs. He held Matthew’s hand tightly.

Matthew did not change his expression.

He just let Samuel hold.

When they reached the entrance, Matthew pushed open the door, “You can escape now if you are

afraid.”

Samuel held Matthew’s hand and shook his head, “I will not escape.”

He would not be frightened by a doll.

Matthew turned and looked at him, he already succeeded at this stage.

He had conquered his fear.

Or else, he would not have the courage to come here.

Matthew did not really want him to see it again, he just wanted Samuel to conquer his fear. Or else, the

horrible memory would affect his character in the future.

He was relieved, he knew that Samuel was only five years old.

Samuel released Matthew’s hand, he walked into the room.
