Snare of Love novel Chapter 493

After seeing Charles White looking at Dolores Flora, Chester Powell who was discussing business with him lowered his head and asked, “Do you know her?”

Charles shook his head and said, “No.”

It wasn’t like Charles wanted to deny their relationship on purpose, he just didn’t want to let Chester know about the relationship between him and Dolores. They were discussing business. He didn’t want to expose his private life to others.

He calmly ordered Tom, “Let’s go.”

Tom had a look at Dolores and lowered his head to look at Charles. He sighed in his heart. He followed him every day. How could he still not know what Charles was thinking?

The colder his face, the hotter his heart.

Dolores was focused on relieving the awkward atmosphere. She didn’t notice Charles’s appearance.

She put down the cup of juice that she had finished and looked at everyone, “We all come from different places but now we are meeting at this place. I think it is all about fate. I hope we can get along with each other.”

“Of course. Just now I was the one who offended you. I asked what I shouldn’t ask.” The woman who started the question immediately replied.

She was just curious at first and she didn’t want to make enemies with anyone. Dolores was right, everyone was going to work together. If they really argued badly, they were going to be awkward as they were going to meet frequently.

“Come, let’s us drink a toast by tea. We are not going to talk about the past. Sometimes, we would even bite our own tongue. We would definitely have some conflict. However, after drinking this cup of tea, this matter is over. We are still good colleagues.” Theresa Gordon raised her cup of tea first. She raised her cup and clinked the cup with the others. Dolores and Theresa had said all these words. No one would still talk about this matter.

After finish eating, Oscar helped Dolores to say some words to everyone. He wanted to thank everyone and also hope that everyone could stay unite and get along with each other.

Compared to the other bosses, they were considered very approachable. They only came to work for only a short period of time but they had a gathering dinner together. Everyone was very satisfied. They were also willing to work with responsibility. Their salary was not too little and no one wouldn’t dislike money.

After the gathering dinner was done, everyone was sent back by Oscar. Dolores and Theresa brought the kids and left through the door at the back.

It seemed like this gathering dinner didn’t take much time. It was completely dark outside. When they came here, it was still bright. Dolores opened the door of the car that was parked on the roadside to let the two kids get into the car.

“Can I talk with you?”

At that moment, a sound was heard behind her. It was familiar but she didn’t dare to confirm. Dolores slowly turned her body and she saw Charles in a wheelchair on the roadside. She was a little stunned. ‘Why was Charles here?’

“Do you have time?” After seeing Dolores not replying, Charles asked again.

Dolores came back to her senses and she nodded to say yes. She looked at Theresa, “You bring the two kids back first.”

Andrew pulled the corner of her clothes, “Mommy, come back earlier. Sister and I will wait for you.”

It was not like he didn’t like Charles. However, he was afraid that Charles would make a move to steal his Mommy when his Dad was not around.

If he really had to choose, he would definitely choose his biological father. Furthermore, his Mommy and Dad didn’t separate because of a bad relationship. Charles had suddenly appeared and he had to be aware of him.

He had to protect his Mommy for his Dad. He couldn’t let anyone snatch her away.

Dolores didn’t realize that her son had thought so much in his mind. She only thought that he was concerned about her. She reached out her hand and touched his head. She smiled as she said, “I know. I will go back soon.”

Theresa had a look on the roadside. She quickly looked away from there and started the car to leave.

After seeing the car move far, Dolores only turned to look at Charles. She asked the doubt in her mind, “Why are you here?”

“I am here to discuss business. My company has a lot of problems. I have to come out to expand my business. I couldn’t let the White family’s business bankrupt in my hand. Otherwise, I would let my foster father down.” He said with a peaceful and calm tone. However, he was really tired and busy these days. Although his company didn’t bankrupt, it had suffered big losses and it had withdrawn from the real estate industry.

In the past, Dolores didn’t know all these. However, after she set up an embroidery workshop and a weaving factory, she knew that it was not easy to manage a business.

Although she didn’t have many people in her factory, she still encountered a lot of matters.

Someone almost argued when they were having the gathering dinner today. It was true that there would be a fight if there were people.

“Let us have a walk?” Charles suggested.

Dolores said yes. They didn’t specially pick a place to go. They only walked straight along the roadside without a destination.

“I am afraid that I have to go back on my words. I said I wouldn’t see you again but now I meet you again.” He lowered his eyes.

He was really determined when he said that he wouldn’t come back to City B again. He had already used all his courage and persistence to tell himself that it was time to let go.

God let them meet again. What did that mean?

Was it because he wasn’t inferior enough? Or God wanted to make fun of him again? He knew that they were not going to have a good ending but why was he still daydreaming?

Dolores didn’t say anything. She just took light steps while walking beside him.

“Why are you here?” In fact, he wanted to ask whether if there was a relationship problem between her and Matthew Nelson. However, he didn’t hastily ask this. It was not some good words.

She didn’t appear here alone. Her two kids were following her. Therefore, he had thought more about this.

“I had something to do. Therefore, I am here.” Dolores didn’t know how to talk about her matter. She also thought that her identity was too absurd.

Charles knew that Dolores wasn’t telling the truth after he heard her words. The words were too half-hearted.

However, he didn’t expose her. He asked implicitly, “Is it related to him?”

They both understood that the word “him” referred to Matthew.

Dolores said calmly, “We are fine. Don’t think too much.”

Charles laughed, “I was really gloating for a little bit just now. I really hoped that you are here because he loved the other person and you were heartbroken so you came here to heal your relationship’s wound. Then, God let us meet again to let me take care of you.”

“You could be a screenwriter.”

“I hope I could let go of the mess in my hands to live freely. However, as a human, I couldn’t be heartless. I couldn’t just walk away.” He felt lost as he looked at the front. Charles who used to cover his happiness and sadness with a smile couldn’t pretend to smile at this time.

Dolores felt that he had encountered some matters after hearing his words. She asked with concern, “Is your company having some problems?”

Her concern didn’t infuse any feelings of a person in a relationship. She only wanted to show her feelings towards the problems he had.

Charles made a soft sound as he agreed.

“Is the competition from the same industry too fierce?” Dolores asked.

“No. Someone should be expressing his personal anger.” Charles clearly knew that this wasn’t only fierce competition from the same industry. The three major businesses of the White Group were having problems at the same time. It clearly showed that someone had planned well to deal with him.

Dolores frowned. Doing business was like a war without gunpowder. They could do anything to benefit themselves.

However, Dolores understood that his words meant the matter was a personal grudge, “How did you offend someone and let him hate you so much?”

Charles stopped his wheelchair. Dolores also stopped her steps. He raised his head and looked at her. He didn’t speak. He only quietly stared at her under the faint light.

Dolores reached out her hand and touched her face, “Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like this?”

He shook his head. His eyes flickered something uncertain, “I coveted someone’s wife and he did all these to me. Am I deserved these?”
