Snare of Love

Chapter 742 Stomach Ache

Dolores was asleep. Jessica answered Matthew, “A lady gave these to Dolores when she came visiting

her.”

“What’s her name?” Matthew asked again.

Jessica shook her head, “I don’t know…”

Dolores slowly opened her eyes when she heard somebody talking while she was sleeping. Matthew

approached Dolores and whispered, “You’re awake?”

Dolores rubbed her eyes. She was a light sleeper, “Why did you come back?”

Matthew didn’t answer Dolores, but instead, he asked her back, “Did you meet Emma?”

Did he found out about it so soon?

Dolores got up from the bed, “Did you come back to ask me this? How did you know about that?”

Matthew then told Dolores what happened between Emma and Abbott.

Just like telling Dolores a gossip to ease her boredom. Matthew knew Dolores was bored to stay in the

room all day.

Dolores widened her eyes and was stunned after hearing what Matthew told her. She recovered from

shock after a while, “Emma and Abbott?”

Matthew reached out his hand and tucked Dolores’ hair behind her ears, “You’re surprised?”

Dolores nodded. She had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Dolores told Matthew what she thought, “She didn’t have to sacrifice herself even if she wanted

vengeance.”

Dolores couldn’t understand why Emma used herself as bait. She could have used another woman

instead.

The kind Emma could use the money to pay them. Emma really didn’t need to do it herself.

What was she thinking?

“Did she fall in love with Abbott?” Dolores took a wild guess.

Women always knew what another woman was thinking. An idea occurred to Dolores when men didn’t

have any idea of it.

If Emma hated the man, how could she overcome the resistance and be naked in front of him?

There was only one answer to the question. Emma liked the man, so she offered herself willingly.

Matthew didn’t care who Emma liked. It was none of his business.

It was out of the topic.

“So you met Emma? And she gave you these flowers?” Matthew threw in the same question again.

Dolores nodded, “Yes, I’ve met her, and she gave me these flowers.”

Matthew didn’t say anything but took the bouquet up and asked Jessica to throw it away.

Dolores felt speechless.

“What’s wrong with the flowers?”

Matthew said, “Who knows if she did anything to the flowers. What if she hid something in the flowers

that endanger your health?”

Dolores smiled. Matthew was overreacting.

“Did you watch too many thriller films?” Dolores would watch movies when she was feeling bored in the

ward. Something storylines were so complicated that it blew her mind.

Everything was a plot.

Matthew didn’t have time for movies. He thought it was a thing for people who had nothing to do.

“Ouch.”

Dolores frowned. Matthew was worried, “Stomach ache?”

Dolores shook her head, “No, my leg cramped.”

Matthew opened Dolores’ blanket and gave her a massage, “This one?”

Dolores always had cramps on her right leg, so Matthew automatically assumed it was her right leg.

Dolores nodded.

The pain was unbearable.

Massaging the leg only offered relief on the tensed muscle. The pain that cramps brought would only

go away after a while.

Dolores was used to it. She leaned against the headboard and waited for the pain to go away.

Matthew kept talking to Dolores and tried to distract her, “Let’s have lunch together later when the kids

come.”

Dolores said softly, “How come they are free? It’s not the weekend today.”

The kids usually had lunch in school. They sent them to school in the morning and would only fetch

them back at night.

They were only free during the weekends or at night.

“I’ll ask the driver to fetch them here to have lunch with you. Then, I’ll send them back to school. You

haven’t seen them for days. You must be missing them.”

Dolores nodded.

Matthew gave his driver a call in the afternoon and asked him to fetch the kids to the hospital.

Abbott had been looking for Emma the whole morning, but he couldn’t find her. She left and cleared out

everything.

Emma’s phone was still turned off. He couldn’t get hold of her.

Boyce then reminded Abbott, “Could she go overseas?”

Abbott didn’t think it was possible. Why would Emma go overseas for nothing? Abbott went and

checked the departure record anyway, even if he didn’t believe it at first. Abbott found Emma’s record,

and it showed that she went to Canada.

It was easy for him to find out where a person went in this country, but it was a different thing overseas.

Abbott sat in the office looking defeated. He didn’t understand why Emma had to go.

Abbott was the most dispirited person other than Armand now. The happiest person other than

Matthew was Boyce.

He hadn’t got married to Jasmine, and they had an age gap, but they got along pretty well. Jasmine

was lively, playful and mature, while Boyce was dependable. He was quiet when he was alone at

home.

Jasmine would never disturb Boyce when he was busy at work, but he was free, Jasmine would tease

him and play with him.

An elder man like Boyce was adorable.

Last weekend, Jasmine went to Boyce’s house, but he wasn’t there. So, she helped him to clean up his

house.

A single man’s house was always lacking the warmth of a family. The place looked dull and lonely. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Jasmine helped Boyce to wash his clothes and added some decorative items for his house. For

instance, his bed. Jasmine changed his grey bedsheet and put on a warm-coloured bedsheet for his

bed. She even added some plants and flowers to his house.

Boyce didn’t cook at home because he didn’t really know how to cook. He ate out most of the time. He

would also have staff meals when he was at work. So, the kitchen was rarely used.

Jasmine bought a lot of food and stuffed them into the fridge where Boyce only used to store water.

After cleaning the house and added some decorative items, the house looked warm and lively. It looked

more like a home now.

Jasmine was covered in sweats after all the cleanings. Since Boyce wasn’t at home, Jasmine decided

to take a bath in his bathroom.

After taking off her clothes, Jasmine suddenly reminded that she didn’t have any clean clothes here,

and she had washed all the towers in the bathroom. They were still on the drying rack on the balcony.

Since Boyce wasn’t at home, Jasmine walked out of the bathroom naked. She opened Boyce’s

wardrobe and wanted to get a T-shirt to wear.

Jasmine was going to wash her dirty clothes later and dry them in the dryer. She could wear it back

after a little drying. It won’t take much time.

Boyce came back when Jasmine took the T-shirt from the wardrobe and walking back to the bathroom.

Jasmine didn’t even know when he came in and stood nearby her.
