Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 18: Public Display of Affection

Matthew couldn't help feeling angry. But he couldn’t understand why would she be angry this much.

Matthew said coldly, "What are you doing here?!"

Hearing that, even though Dolores didn’t know Matthew for so long, she still immediately realized who

was talking. She turned her head. She was right. Matthew was standing in front of her. Matthew’s

expression was so gloomy that even could make people feel scared. He said, "What did I say last

time? How dare you ignore what I said!"

Dolores subconsciously left Sampson’s hug. She was so worried about Jessica that she didn't pay

attention to how close Sampson was to her.

"I..." just when Dolores was about to explain what happened, Sampson grabbed her wrist. Sampson

looked at Matthew and said, "Your marriage is only for one month. It’s just a deal. You will get what you

want. What reason do you have to interfere in her private affairs?" knowing how hard Dolores’ life was,

Sampson was heartbroken and he promised himself that he would cherish and protect Dolores with all

his heart.

Matthew stared at Sampson clutching Dolores' wrist. For a moment, he showed a mocking sneer on his

face, "You let a woman who is pregnant with your child marry another guy. And now you come back to

her as a protector?" suddenly, he stared at Sampson as if it was a sharp sword that would kill Sampson

with no mercy. "You are such a coward!"

Dolores’ heartbeat so fast out of shame and helplessness from what Matthew said.

Dolores couldn’t believe that Matthew would think that Sampson was the father of her child. She was

grateful and respectful to Sampson. How could she shame Sampson by admitting such a thing? She

took her hand out from Sampson’s and looked at Matthew, "You can say anything to me. But leave

Sampson alone."

Matthew got surprised by Dolores’ reaction and couldn’t help thinking that they loved each other. How

ridiculous it was! Matthew got angry. She was now his wife, but she showed affection with other men in

front of him! However, no matter how angry Matthew was, he understood that what Sampson said was

right. Their marriage was indeed a deal. He didn’t have the right to blame her. But at the same time, he

indeed hated seeing them being together.

"If you still want the land of Repulse Bay, come to me." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Dolores was taken aback for several seconds. She didn't expect the opportunity she had given up

would come back to her again.

For her, the temptation was great. If she got the right to trade that piece of land, she would have the

bargaining chance to negotiate with Randolph instead of being suppressed by him.

"Lola." Sampson was a little worried; it seemed that Dolores was interested in what Matthew offered.

Dolores shook her head, "I'm fine."

Twenty minutes later, Jessica was pushed out of the operating room. Jessica fainted due to

breathlessness out of anger. Dolores was the only family she had now. Hearing that others insulted her

daughter, Jessica couldn't ignore it. Seeing what was written on the wall, Jessica couldn’t bear it

anymore and faint.

changes." After taking Jessica to the ward, the doctor explained.

Dolores nodded, "Thank you, doctor."

Dolores knew that her brother's death had a great influence on Jessica. If it weren’t for her, Jessica

would have already committed suicide. She thought it would be better to keep Jessica away from the

city where her brother dead. She didn’t expect that Jessica would be hurt again because of her.

However, not many people knew that she was pregnant. Who let the news out? And why did that

person do so? What was the purpose?

Sampson knew what Dolores was thinking. He walked over, "You two can't live in that apartment

anymore. I'll find a new place for you."

Dolores nodded. Indeed, they couldn't live there anymore, or else Jessica would be hurt again.

"I want to find out who did it." Dolores felt that this was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it.

"Leave it to me." Sampson smiled, "Think of me as your brother, your family."

Dolores looked at Sampson, feeling emotional. Sampson was so good to her. She didn't know what to

do to recompense.

Dolores lowered her head and said nothing. But she made a silent decision in her heart, someday she

would recompense him when indeed.

Now she needed someone to help her figure out the whole thing. Otherwise, she would be always

uneasy and worried that even if they moved to a new residence, someone would come over and make

Jessica hurt deliberately.

Thinking about what Matthew said before he left, Dolores felt distressed. Sampson thought she was

tired, so he said, "Go back to rest. I will be here taking care of Jessica."

"But..."

"I work in this hospital anyway. I have my own office and restroom, and I can take care of your mother.

Dolores looked at Jessica who was still in a coma, hesitated, and said, "If she needs me, please call

me."

Dolores gave her phone number to Sampson and left the hospital.

Back at the villa, Dolores only saw Coral at home. She frowned, "Is Matthew not home?"

Coral looked at the study, "He is there."

Dolores changed her shoes and walked in. she walked towards the study, hesitated in front of the door

for a while, then knocked on the door. She knocked several times and no one answered. She frowned,

twisted the handle, and gently pushed the door open.

Matthew leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes. It was hard to tell if he fell asleep already.

Dolores walked in slowly, stood in front of the desk, and whispered, "Mr. Nelson?" Matthew slowly

raised his eyelids and stared at Dolores who stood in front of him. Matthew was surprised that Dolores

would call him Mr. Nelson.

Dolores rubbed her hands out of nervousness. Her palms were even sweating, "You said, you can give

me the land of Repulse Bay?"

Matthew half-closed his eyes. His lips curled up, "I'm a businessman. I never do anything with no

benefit."

Dolores instantly felt disappointed. She knew she was being ridiculous. How could Matthew help her

unconditionally? She had nothing to offer. How could she exchange for this piece of land?

"I think this piece of land would be very useful to you." Matthew sensed her retreat. Randolph sent her

and her mother to another country without any help. They lived a hard life and her brother even dead.

Matthew knew how much Dolores hated Randolph. He thought that Dolores wanted that piece of land

because she wanted to give it to Randolph. Now he knew he was wrong.

"But I have nothing to exchange with you." Indeed, Dolores wanted to get that piece of land.

Matthew raised his eyelids, looking mature and sexy, "You do."

"What?"

"You."

Dolores was taken aback for several seconds, "Me?"

Matthew stood up and walked forward. As he approached, Dolores retreated instinctively. Matthew

grabbed her shoulders, "Why are you backing? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Dolores didn't know why she was afraid of him. But somehow she knew he was not as nice as he

showed her.

Suddenly Matthew smiled lightly, "Why? Have you done something wrong? That’s why you don’t dare

to look at me? Because you are guilty?"

What had she done? Dolores raised her head, "Why do I feel guilty?"

Her chin was raised. They were so close that Matthew could even feel her breath, which somehow

made Matthew felt familiar.

He paused for a few seconds, and then he squeezed her cheek. He said, "We are already married. And

you still fall in love with another man. This is cheating!"
