Snare of Love -
Chapter 561 A Dog also Had Worries
The news was about the Nanshan Temple, which wasn't eye-catching. The key point was the man in the news -- he was the man who harassed Dolores when she was in City C. The man was found naked in the temple, seriously injured. The scene was full of speculation. Hence, it became a piece of news.
After all, everyone knew that the temple should be a clean place, in which anything filthy was forbidden. However, such a scene happened there.
Dolores went to sit on the sofa, continuing to watch the news. Then she got to know that this man was found in the most inconspicuous storage room in the temple.
Pinching the remote control, she was lost in thought.
She thought about all the things that had happened recently.
In the beginning, she got those photos. Then the man appeared to harass her, and a man showed up to save her. According to Oscar, that man looked rich but wasn't a local in City C.
Hence, she guessed that the man must be from City B because he appeared in City B. She guessed that the rich man must be Declan Bailey mentioned by Matthew.
The man on the news was acting in the show with Declan at that time, so he must be someone that the latter trusted a lot.
However, he had been found like this in a temple.
Dolores believed that Theresa must have been locked up in a secret place as well, such as the Nanshan Temple.
The more she thought about it, the clearer the clue was, and the more frightened she became. If Theresa was hidden in the temple as she guessed, Dolores wondered if this naked man had any evil intention to Theresa.
Dolores was almost strangled. She patted her chest with strength, but no matter how much she did it, she still couldn't breathe properly.
"Mommy! Mommy! Can we go out?" Amanda ran over, throwing herself into Dolores's arms. She hugged Dolores, playing at being cute. "Mommy, I want to buy the dog food for Cotton. I also want to change the dog chain..."
"You can't go out today," Dolores interrupted her before she finished her words. Rubbing Amanda's hair, Dolores said, "Good girl, you need to stay home. Don't go out today." "Why not?" Amanda looked up at her in disappointment.
Dolores didn't know how to explain to her daughter. She didn't know what kind of man was that man named Declan. Since they dared to take Theresa away, it meant this Declan wasn't a kind man. He also kept making trouble. What if he wanted to do something on the kids?
The villa was quite safe. Hence, Dolores tried to make an excuse to calm Amanda down, "It's too hot outside..."
"We'll sit in the car. The driver will take us. We don't need to walk under the sun. Besides, we have sunscreen umbrellas, or we can wear the sunscreen hats," Amanda quickly rendered Dolores speechless. Dolores kept silent.
She wondered since when Amanda had become so sharp-tongued.
She put away her smile and became solemn. She said seriously, "You can't go out today."
Amanda blinked. Suddenly, she withdrew herself from Dolores's arms, turned around, and trotted into her room.
She became angry.
Coral didn't know what happened. She didn't have the heart to disappoint Amanda. When they were bathing Cotton, Amanda kept nagging to buy something for Cotton. Hence, she tried to convince Dolores. "The kids want to go out indeed. We can take them out shopping. The driver and I can take good care of them."
Dolores didn't agree. Looking up at Coral, she insisted, "They'd better stay home recently."
Before Coral spoke again, Dolores interrupted her, "I'm going out now. The driver will send me there. Let the kids stay home today."
After finishing her words, she stood up and walked upstairs. She was still wearing casual clothes at home. She decided to go out after watching the news. Last night, Matthew told her that Theresa had escaped. She wondered if something had happened and he dared not to tell her about the details.
She couldn't feel easy unless she got to know the details.
Coral was an understanding person. Since Dolores insisted, she couldn't keep convincing her. She walked to Amanda's room to coax her. Andrew heaved a sigh. He poured a bowl of dog food in front of Cotton, squatted down, and rubbed his head. "How happy you are!"
Cotton could be a worry-free dog as long as the master provided it with the food.
If Cotton had known what was in Andrew's mind, it must tell him that a dog had its worries, too. It needed to please the master and always worried that if it would be dumped.
A pet dog's life wasn't easy either. It wasn't living as so happily as the human had imagined.
Dolores walked downstairs, only to replace Andrew was feeding Cotton. She said, "Go coax your sister."
Andrew raised his head and looked at her. "I'll take care of her. Don't worry."
Dolores walked over to kiss him on his cheek. Andrew was way too sensible. "Thank you, my son."
"If you have time later, you'd better take her to the pet store. The Frontline for Cotton has been used up. We need to get some," said Andrew.
Dolores had never had a pet, so she didn't know what he referred to. She asked, "Is Cotton sick?"
Andrew answered jokingly, "Mommy, there's something that you don't know!"
Dolores pinched his ear gently with a fierce look. "It's not easy for me to bring you guys up. How could I have time and money to keep a pet for you?"
Andrew kept begging. "Mommy, my bad, my bad. That's not a medicine to cure any disease. It's for expelling the parasite. Someone brought us that thing. There was a little left. After bathing him, we've used it up."
Any family keeping pets should have the medicine for expelling parasites at home, especially if there were any kids in the family. Dogs could get lice and fleas in their hair easily. If the medicine wasn't used, the lice and fleas would get into the kids' hair as well as in the house.
Dolores patted him on his head. "When your Daddy is free, ask him to take you guys there."
"Okay. Mommy, will you go with us then?" Andrew asked with a smile.
"Of course. Now I need to go out to deal with something, bye." Dolores stood up. Andrew said bye to her obediently. She waved her hand to him, changed her shoes, and walked out of the door. She didn't take anything when leaving last time, so she didn't lack anything at home.
The driver walked over, opened the rear door for her, and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Nelson, where are we going?"
Dolores thought for a moment. "The company."
The driver closed the door and trotted forward to the driver's seat.
The car was parked in front of the company entrance quickly. Dolores didn't get off right away. On the way, she hadn't figured out what she would do and wondered if Matthew was in the company. Pulling out her cell phone, she was about to call Boyce. She believed that she might get more reliable information from Boyce than that from Matthew.
She knew that Matthew didn't want her to worry about this matter, but Theresa wasn't an outsider to her. Instead, she had been treating Theresa as her family. Besides, Theresa was kidnapped because of her.
When she dialed Boyce's number, put the phone next to her ear, and waited for the call to be connected, another car was pulled over next to hers. The door of the car was immediately opened, and a man in a suit got off. He turned around and walked into the company. Dolores saw his face clearly.
She gaped. It was him.00000
