Snare of Love

Coral was wearing an apron. She had come to the kitchen to make breakfast but arriving in the kitchen to find Dolores already up and muttering something to herself in the kitchen while making breakfast.

“Oh! It’s nothing.” Dolores said to her, not daring to meet her eyes, “Where are the eggs?”

“In the refrigerator.” Coral opened the refrigerator and found that the eggs were gone. She turned around to see them placed next to the sink, “Aren’t they there, next to you?”

“Huh?” Dolores turned to see the eggs on the counter and remembered that she had already taken them out. She had tried to divert the subject and failed miserably. She smiled in embarrassment, “I forgot!”

Coral smiled too, as if she understood what she was hiding. However, she didn’t say anything.

She came over, “Let me help you. Tell me what the kids like to eat, I will make it for them.”

“They are not really picky.” Dolores beat the eggs together, preparing to make steamed eggs. She had been living here a few days and knew Coral’s craftsmanship. Most of Coral’s dishes were balanced in nutrition.

With Coral’s cooking, no additional preparation was required.

“It’s good for them to not be picky.” Coral said.

Picky children tend to lack certain nutritional substances.

“Yeah.” Dolores responded with a smile.

They prepared the breakfast together. Maybe it was because they had known each other before, they didn’t feel cramped and matched well.

At seven o’clock, the originally quiet villa became lively.

Samuel’s face was not swollen that much anymore. Thinking that he must be getting bored in the room, Jessica dressed him and helped him wash his face. Then, he ran out into the living room to find his sister.

He had slept well last night. He didn’t know when his mother and sister had left leaving him alone in the room.

He was disappointed when he woke up.

He felt aggrieved. He was still injured; how could Mommy leave him?

His little face looked unhappy as he sat on the living room sofa angrily.

Compared to Samuel’s unhappy face, Simona was very happy.

For the first time, she had slept in her father’s arm. She was so excited that she couldn’t sleep much all night. She didn’t fall asleep until dawn when she fell asleep from exhaustion. She was still asleep. Lying on the pillow with half of her face sunken in the pillow, her small pink lips slightly open with a trail of drool at the corner of her mouth.

Matthew sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her and frowning in disgust, “Still drooling.”

She really didn’t know that he was disgusted with her.

There was a smile on her face as if she was having a good dream. She grinned sleepily and called out sweetly and softly, “Daddy.”

Matthew’s expression changed as her stared at her, and then he reached out and pinched her cheek. Simona sleepily twisted her head and Matthew retracted his hand and thought. ‘How great it would have been if you were actually my daughter.’

This wasn’t a good topic for him to dwell on. He got up and went to the bathroom. He came back late last night and then was pestered by Simona; he fell asleep without even taking a shower and his shirt was already wrinkled and sticking to his body.

Soon there was sound of running water coming from the bathroom. After a while, he walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.
