Snare of Love

Samuel liked shrimp. Jessica said with a smile full of love, “Okay. Let’s get it.”

“I want it too.” Monica liked following suit. Whatever her brother wanted, she wanted it too, not caring whether she liked it or it. As long as her brother wanted it, she did too.

“Okey dokey. Let’s get it.” Jessica was used to Monica’s behavor like this.

Coral looked at Samuel and then looked at Monica who was talking. Her eyes opened wide. How could these two kids have such pretty faces? Their eyes were so bright, which almost looked the same as that of Matthew as a boy.

“As for shrimp, I know which stall sells the best shrimp.” Coral walked to them and looked at the two kids, “They are...”

Jessica didn’t feel strange about being accosted by others. Whenever she took the two kids outside before, people always stared at them for some time, or even came up and talked to them.

Jessica was quite used to this.

“My grandchildren.”

“They are adorable.” Coral couldn’t move her eyes away from these two kids. They were just so lovely.

Jessica smiled. That was true. These two kids were all that kept her living. To take care of them for her daughter was the task of her remaining life, which was also what made her the happiest person in the world.

“Hello, Madame.” Samuel had honey in his mouth.

“Hello to you too.” Coral reached her hand to fondle his head, “What’s your name?”

“I am Samuel Flores.”

“That’s a good name.” Coral thought in her mind that this child not only looked so adorable but also had a beautiful name.

“Madame, why don’t you ask me?” Monica was a bit unhappy. She looked at Coral, blinking her eyes.

Coral asked her brother and didn’t ask her. Was it because she wasn’t as pretty as her brother?

“It’s your turn now.” Coral said smiling. This kid was so adorable. She was so young and already she was jealous of her brother.

“What’s your name?” Coral smiled and asked her.

“I am Monica Flores. Me and my brother both inherited our mother’s surname.” Monica said in pleasure.

Coral froze. They all inherited their mother’s surname?

“You said you knew which stall had the freshest shrimp. Which one?” Jessica stopped Coral from asking more questions. Normally children inherited the surname of their father. So as soon as people heard that they inherited the surname of their mother, they would ask about their family.
