Snare of Love

Chapter 704 New Girlfriend

Matthew saw clearly the people who were standing at the door when getting closer, he called Dolores,

“Boyce is back.”

Dolores didn’t fall asleep; she could hear him once he talked. She opened her eyes and looked toward

the door; there was a girl with a backpack on the back standing beside Boyce Shawn.

Perhaps she was Jasmine Burke.

Soon, Matthew had parked the car in the yard. Dolores unfastened the seatbelt and pushed the door

open to get out of the car.

Boyce walked hand in hand with Jasmine toward Dolores, “Sister-in-law.”

Dolores smiled at them, then she asked, “When did you come back?”

Boyce said, “We just got out of the car.”

After saying this, he introduced Jasmine to Matthew and Dolores, “You can just call them like how I do.”

Jasmine had seen Matthew before, but this was the first time for her to meet Dolores. She knew from

Boyce that Dolores was young, now she had met her in person and she felt that Dolores was not only

young, but she also looked very pretty as well.

“Nice to meet you.” Jasmine couldn’t call her sister-in-law at the moment.

Some more Boyce hadn’t settled his matter with Wendy Miller, it was inappropriate for her to call in this

way now.

Dolores smiled, “Let’s go into the house, you guys should be tired riding the car.”

Boyce said that they were not tired, “We are here to ask for help from you.”

Dolores and Matthew stood next to each other, Dolores looked up at Matthew after hearing Boyce’s

words, then she talked to Boyce, “Just tell us if you need our help.”

After all, the reason he had faced the dangerous thing this time, was because of them.

“I need to go back to the station and settle something with the Miller family, so I wish to let Jasmine

stay temporarily at your house for a few days, I also still need to help her to settle the matters at her

school.”

She had dropped out of school, now she wanted to go back again, so there were some procedures

which were needed to be done and he needed to find the person in charge at the school.

Dolores agreed without hesitation, Boyce wanted to leave Jasmine here because he trusted them.

How could she deny it?

“Let’s go into the house first,” Dolores said smilingly.

Boyce nodded.

Matthew didn’t talk from the beginning to the end, he grabbed Dolores’s hand suddenly. In fact, he

didn’t wish that there were other people at home during this moment, some more a stranger. Dolores’s

situation had really made him suffer, he just wanted peace at home. However, Boyce would seldom ask

for help, some more Boyce was almost dead because of him, so he should agree with it, no matter for

the sake of their friendship or the sense.

He was just worried about Dolores, she was having something in her mind, but she still needed to treat

others politely.

He felt uncomfortable.

Pushing open the door, the living room was full of playhouse toys. The two elderly were accompanying

the two children, the scene looked so warm.

“Amanda,” Dolores called her daughter. Although she was not clingy anymore, she was not as talkative

as in the past as well. Hearing that someone was calling her, Amanda Nelson looked toward there. She

saw that Boyce was here too, she put down the ‘pot’ in her hand and stopped cooking the dish, she

then ran toward there and stood not far away from Boyce.

Seeing Boyce, Amanda recalled the dangerous scene during that time again, she cried loudly all of a

sudden.

Everyone was shocked, Dolores went toward her and hugged her, “Mommy is here, don’t scare.”

She patted lightly on her daughter’s back, but this tugged at her heartstrings.

Amanda was crying non-stop, no one could coax her.

Dolores kept on helping Amanda to wipe the tears away, her eyes became red automatically seeing

that Amanda was crying so hard, her heart ached for her daughter. She kept on kissing her daughter’s

forehead and cheeks, trying to comfort her frightened soul using her love.

Matthew knew that Dolores was so sad, he carried their daughter away from her arms.

He helped his daughter to wipe the tears away using his hand, but Amanda suddenly shouted toward

Boyce, “Uncle Shawn.”

They were in danger together during that time, seeing him now made her recall the horror, stimulating

the matters that she didn’t want to face, but now the things appeared clearly again in her mind.

Boyce walked toward her, stretched his hand patting on her head and comforted her, “The danger had

passed already and now we’re fine, Amanda doesn’t have to scare anymore.”

Amanda blinked her eyes, tears dropping down; she sobbed and asked, “Is it true?”

“Yes.” Boyce answered confidently, and then he said, “Amanda is not pretty when crying.”

Amanda lifted her hand and wiped the tears away, but her shoulders were still shaking. She then

pointed at Jasmine and asked hoarsely, “Who is she?”

Boyce glanced at Jasmine and said, “She is my girlfriend, I just want to introduce you to her, she is

Jasmine Burke.”

Amanda was a bit confused, “Isn’t it that you had introduced your girlfriend before? Why there’s

another girlfriend again? Is she the new one?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Boyce was speechless.

Jasmine also felt awkward standing beside them.

The air froze for a while, Dolores told her daughter, “This is the girlfriend that Uncle Shawn likes.”

Amanda blinked her eyes and lied in Matthew’s arms, “Daddy, their relationship is so messy.”

It seemed like Amanda had recovered in a moment, the knot in her heart was untied.

Matthew was gratified; he stretched his hand helping her to wipe the tears away. Amanda had not

talked for these few days, he didn’t mention it but he was always worried that this might traumatize her,

he didn’t expect that she would recover after seeing Boyce.

If he had known it earlier, he would have asked Boyce to come back earlier.

Dolores introduced Jayden Nelson and Victoria Forbis to Jasmine, “She is Boyce’s girlfriend.”

Jasmine bowed politely, Dolores told her that she didn’t have to be so polite, “Just make yourself at

home.”

Jasmine pursed her lips and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Boyce is so close with us, you’re welcomed to join us.”

Dolores said smilingly.

Jasmine stared at Dolores, she wondered why Dolores looked so beautiful when she smiled? Some

more she was so friendly, she didn’t put on airs and graces even if she was wealthy, Jasmine had

taken a shine to Dolores.

Jasmine felt slightly relieved, she was always worried that she might not get along with Dolores well, or

Dolores might look down on her when she came.

She didn’t expect that Dolores was so friendly and approachable.

“Coral.” Dolores called Coral, “Please tidy up the room that Theresa stayed in previously.”

Coral said, “Sure.”

In fact, there was nothing much to tidy up, the bedsheet and blanket were all washed already, she just

had to put some toiletries in the washroom.

Boyce wanted to go out for a while since there was still some time, he told Dolores, “Sister-in-law, I

need to go out, sorry to trouble you for taking care of Jasmine. I’m worried that I can’t settle the things

with the Miller family in a short time, it’s inappropriate to let her meet Jasmine, but I’m also worried to

let Jasmine stay at another place, so…”

“I understand.”

Dolores knew that Boyce was worried about Wendy Miller being unwilling to break up with him, and she

might harm Jasmine if she knew her existence.

Actually, Boyce was right.

If he were to take Jasmine home with him now and let Wendy see her, it would be difficult to wind the

matter up.

Therefore, Boyce had let Jasmine stay here without worrying about anything.

Jasmine nodded, “Just go ahead with your stuff.”

Boyce left after talking to Jayden and Victoria. After Coral tidied up the room, Dolores brought Jasmine

to the room, “You can stay in this room, my friend had stayed here previously. You can call me or Coral

if you need any help, you can have a rest first since you may be tired riding the car. I’ll call you when

the dinner is ready.”

Jasmine was grabbing her hem. Although Dolores was friendly, she was still unfamiliar with this place.

Some more, there was even an attached bathroom in the guest room and the decorations were very

luxurious, she felt inferior to these wealthy people and she couldn’t adapt well.

“I’m sorry to trouble you,” Jasmine said embarrassingly. After all, Dolores was pregnant, but she still

needed to take care of her, Jasmine was apologetic.

“It’s okay, just stay here without worry. Boyce will arrange the things for you when he finishes settling

those things,” Dolores said.

She believed that Boyce had some plans, if not he wouldn’t have brought Jasmine back.

Jasmine nodded.

Dolores walked back to the living room after arranging for Jasmine to stay here, Victoria Forbis walked

in front of her and lowered her voice asking, “How old is this girl?”

Dolores was not sure of how old Jasmine was, she only knew that Jasmine was in her first year at

university.

Victoria smiled, it seemed like she felt that Jasmine was too young.

Jayden didn’t care about how old Jasmine was, he was glad that Boyce was safe, some more Boyce

had already had a girlfriend. He was happy with him, but he was still paying all attention to his

grandson and granddaughter, he carried his granddaughter from his son’s arms, “Come here, grandpa

continues to play playhouse with you.”

Amanda sniffed, there were still the marks of tears on her face, she nodded and said, “Okay.”

There was someone taking care of her daughter, Matthew did not worry, he helped Dolores to go

upstairs after handing over his daughter to Jayden.

Matthew closed the door after entering the room, he helped Dolores to sit down at the bedside, “I have

something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Dolores looked up.
