Snare of Love

In his embrace, Samuel could clearly feel that Matthew’s chest was trembling as well.

He reached out to hug Matthew. No matter how he liked Mommy Samuel could feel that he was truly uneasy and guilty at this moment.

“We’ll go to find her.” Matthew made Samuel look into his eyes, “Would you come with us?”

“Yes,” Samuel answered without any hesitation.

“But, how about Simona? If Mommy and I were not here, she would make a fuss,” Samuel said worriedly.

“Daddy!”

Simona saw Matthew and trotted out from the house, rushing over. She reached out her chubby arms and hugged his legs, “Daddy.” She raised her head, and her pink lips pouted, “Daddy, can you release Samuel and hold me?”

As she spoke, she widened her eyes and blinked, “Samuel is a man now. He doesn’t need a hug. Hug me!”

Samuel was speechless.

Matthew squatted down, holding the little girl into his arms. The little girl was in a pink dress today with a ponytail behind her head. There was short hair on her forehead, but her full forehead and watery big eyes were exposed. She wrapped around Matthew's neck tightly and rubbed his face with her face, “Daddy, you came home. Why isn’t Mommy with you? I haven’t seen her for several days. We have never parted before. I miss her so much.”

Matthew looked in distance, pressing two small hands on his chest. He tried his best to say calmly, “I’ll take you to find her.”

“Really?” Simona was a bit excited, “Is Mommy playing hide and seek with us? So we should go find her, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Whoa! I’m so happy!” Simon twisted her little body excitedly in his arms. However, Samuel wasn’t so delighted as her, “It’s so good to be a child.”

Simon heard it and turned to glare at him, “You were just born only a few minutes earlier than me. You are not that older than me. Even Grandma said you are the extra one.’

Samuel frowned, his whole face wrinkled, “Grandma said you are the extra one.”

Jessica walked out of the house. She wore an apron and put her hands in front, “You guys, come on in. Time for dinner.”

“Grandma, Samuel is the extra child, isn’t he?” Simona asked quickly to prove what she said was real.

In her opinion, whoever asked first would be proved right.

It was quite easy to read the little girl’s mind. She was simpler than her brother and she didn’t think much. Jessica teased her with a smile, “You are the extra one.”

Simona was unhappy, pouting, “Why isn’t Samuel the extra one? He’s so... hateful!”

Samuel snatched Daddy’s embrace from her.
