Snare of Love
Chapter 290 Believed in His Sweet Words

Dolores couldn't believe her ears. Jessica's words hit her like a thunderclap, and she felt as if she had been poured with cold water from head to toe and her entire body was numb. Jessica grabbed Dolores' hands immediately, "Lola..."

Dolores shook off Jessica's hand abruptly and stood up. She took a few steps back, with her trembling lips, "Do you forget that how he forced you to divorce him and sent you, who were pregnant, abroad and didn't even care about you?! You tell me that you want to remarry him now?!!"

"He used to be a bad person before. But, while you were away, he paid me frequent visits. And he was regretful about the things before..."

"Do you believe this?!" Dolores cut her off with a stern tone. She scratched her hair furiously. How could this happen?

"Mum, how can you easily put your trust in his sweet words? You have to be aware that he had abandoned you, as well as Beulah. He is a heartless person. How can you still believe in his sweet words?" Jessica remained stern, with her lowered head, "I've already decided."

Dolores leaned against the wall and looked at Jessica, "So, you're just informing me today?"

"You can say so." Jessica clutched her own hands tightly, and a frosty glint flashed across her eyes. She was guilty to her daughter, "I'm sorry to have you suffer with me..."

"You know I don't care about this. I'm afraid that you'll be hurt by Randolph again!" Dolores didn't expect that Jessica would want to tell her such a thing.

"I know." Jessica approached Dolores. She wished to grab her hand but was shook off again.

Dolores turned her head and was reluctant to look at her.

Jessica's fingers were bent as she slowly drew her hand back, "I've already decided."

There was no room for rebuttal. Dolores refused to agree, leaving Jessica with no choice, "I'll move out today."

"Why are you in such a rush?" Dolores couldn't understand how she could forgive him this easily for causing her such pain.

"Did you already forget about Jeremy?" Dolores didn't want to talk about it, but she tried to persuade her when she faced Jessica's insistence.

Jessica's heart trembled for a moment when she heard this name. She didn't forget, and she wouldn't forget for the rest of her life. But just because she couldn't get it out of her head, she wanted to remarry Randolph.

She clenched her fists. Her son's death would be a nagging pain in her heart forever. But for Dolores, she was more guilty.

"Our marriage certificate has already been done." Jessica continued to say.

Dolores wiped her face and smiled disappointedly, "Have you made up your mind?" She sniffed, "As your daughter, I'm not in a position to criticize you. But after so many years of sharing our lives and depending on each other, shouldn't you ask for my opinion?"

"I'm sorry." Jessica didn't know what she could say to her except these words.

"You don't need to apologize to me. This is your business, and I have no right to interfere. You just do what you wish to." Dolores waved her hand. She was not able to stay here any longer. She was afraid that she would act out or say something inappropriate to Jessica.

"Lola..."

"Stop saying anything." Dolores walked out of the room with a stumbling gait.

She couldn't accept Jessica's decision. But she knew that she couldn't change her mind based on her attitude.

She drank the entire glass of water that was on the table. She was not sure that when the water was poured and it was already cold.

She shivered, and her heart was broken as well.

She couldn't understand Jessica's decision.

Why did she want to repeat it after knowing that Randolph was dangerous and risked repeating all of her previous hardships?

"Why?" Dolores supported her body on the table with her hands.

She was not sure when a broad palm held her shoulder. She slowly raised her head.

"What's the matter?" Matthew wiped her tears away.

She was not sure why she cried even harder after he wiped her tears.

Her tears were rolling down one after another.

She threw herself into his arms, and her shoulders shrugged nonstop.

Matthew stroked her back and comforted her silently. He couldn't ask her about anything if she was like this.

Jessica opened the door and saw them in the living room. She lowered her eyes, "I'll put you in the trouble of taking care of her."

She then carried her bag and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Matthew asked.

And it was so late now.

Before Jessica could answer, Dolores yelled, "Let her go!"

Jessica's eyes were also red as if she had cried before. Yet, she would not regret it, and she would not even back down after she had made her decision.

"She had been through a lot with me. Our lives were not easy when she was small. So, if it is possible, I would like to request you to take good care of her in the future."

"I don't need it!" Dolores' eyes welled up with tears, "If you still remember our hardships, you won't remarry Randolph! Since you want to get back together with him, you don't need to care about me anymore. You just need to be happy!"

Dolores was shaking because she was agitated.

Matthew hugged her tightly, "Calm down."

"How can I calm down? Randolph only sees interest in his eyes. Who had he loved? He comes over and fawns on my mother now because I got married to you. He wants to have a chance at the moon on a stick. But she just doesn't get it and believes that Randolph has already turned over a new leaf. Is that even possible?!"

Jessica looked at Dolores, who was agitated and sighed. Then, she turned over and walked away without explaining anything.

When the door of the room was closed, Dolores cried even harder, "Is her heart blinded?"

Matthew didn't share the same opinion as Dolores. Instead, he thought that Jessica had her intention to do so.

Dolores was so agitated that he was afraid that she couldn't listen to anything he said.

He could only hug her and physically comfort her.

"He forced my mother to divorce him when I was ten years old, ten years old, how small am I? He sent my mother and I abroad to fawn on the other woman. He didn't care about us. But she wishes to remarry Randolph just because of his few words. Is she oblivious to the hardships she had endured in the past? Does she forget Randolph's heartlessness and how he had hurt her?

"Perhaps she has her own thoughts, or perhaps she has some difficulties that she doesn't want to reveal..."

"What does Randolph have to threaten her with? Even if he has, she can tell me."

"You're overly agitated." Matthew wiped the tears on her face away, "You calm down first."

He carried her upstairs and let her sit by the side of the bed after he finished speaking. He went to the bathroom to prepare for the hot water. The bathroom was engulfed in a cloud of white mist in a while. He came out, "You go and take a bath to relax. Then, we'll go and replace her again to talk to her. You are so agitated that anything inappropriate you say will hurt her feelings.

Dolores raised her head blankly, and there were still some traces of tears on her cheeks, "Did I say anything out of line?"

"No." He stroked her messy hair to the back of her ears, "Be obedient. You go take a bath to calm down and have a good sleep. Then, if you think that she shouldn't remarry Randolph, we can go talk with her again..."

"She had even gotten the marriage certificate with Randolph when I was not there." Dolores' eyes turned red again.

"Trust me. If your mother is not willing to remarry Randolph, I have a way to nullify the marriage certificate." Matthew said softly.

Dolores' eyelashes were still glistening with tears. She blinked her eyes, wrapped her arms around Matthew's neck, and looked at him, "Really?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
