Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 30: How Crazy They Were Last Night?

His indignation was growing and it almost devoured him.

He slightly curled up his lips and said coldly in a low voice, “Were the words I told you useless?” They

couldn’t discern his mood from his words.

Dolores subconsciously shivered due to the chill.

“Your marriage is just a transaction. You’re not qualified to require her to do anything.” Sampson

retorted in a stern voice.

“I’m unqualified. But you’re more unqualified. Trying to snatch other’s wife is not something that a

gentleman should do.” Finishing speaking, he glanced at Dolores who was standing behind Sampson

without even looking at him, “I’ll give you one minute.”

He then headed towards the building.

Sampson turned around to look at Dolores, “Don’t be afraid. I’m by your side. I’ll accompany you to

make things clear with him.”

Dolores shook her head. She had done something wrong concerning this matter.

She had promised Matthew last time, but she broke her words.

“No need to accompany me, Sampson. You can come back first. I have to go to work.” Dolores headed

towards the building. Yet Matthew had come upstairs.

Dolores also took the lift to go upstairs.

Standing at the door of Matthew’s office, Dolores calmed herself down and raised her hand to knock on

the door.

“Come in.”

She pushed open the door. Just as she was about to explain why she didn’t come back last night,

Matthew spoke, “Let’s end this marriage.”

He looked up at her, “One month is too long. Let’s get divorced now.”

Dolores’ lips were trembling uncontrollably. She once thought that she was a strong and brave woman,

but it turned out she was not.

She was not strong and brave enough, so when she was in danger, she couldn’t save herself.

If the one she accidentally encountered last night was not Sampson, she would have failed to escape.

Maybe she would have been ruined by the person hired by Beulah and Annabelle.

Matthew didn’t want to have any entanglements with her any longer and picked up the landline phone,

“Mr. Aaron, please help me draft a divorce…”

“No…” Dolores rushed over, pressed down the phone, and shook her head at him, “I didn’t do it

deliberately. I didn’t come back last night because I encountered some problems…”

Matthew fixed his gaze on the dress she was wearing and smiled ironically and gloomily, exuding an

imposing aura that seemed to be able to pierce into her body, “I’ll give you freedom so that you can be

together with the one you really love, isn’t it good?”

She was wearing a pair of pants and a T-shirt yesterday but got changed into a dress after a night.

How crazy they were last night that even her clothes were ragged and she couldn’t wear them today?

Maybe she was somehow attracting, but she was also wanton.

This kind of woman didn’t deserve his favor.

“No.” Even if they had to get divorced, they couldn’t divorce at present.

If she lost Matthew as her backer, she would have to live at the mercy of others as she did eight years

ago.

Matthew stared at her. With astonishment, panic as well as confusion on her face, she was like a

bewildered and helpless deer that had lost its direction. His heart began to palpitate out of the blue. He

then sneered. This woman was hooking up with the other man while trying to maintain the marriage

with him?

How ridiculous!

His voice was still cold and aloof, “I will let you go so that you can be together with that man. But you

said ‘no’ to this?”

Dolores was extremely perplexed and panicked, fearing that Matthew was really going to divorce her.

She suddenly had a light bulb moment when she thought of his sudden kiss before, without thinking of

it, she leaned forward and kissed him on his lips.

The air surrounding them seemed to be frozen at the moment.

Matthew was dumbstruck for a moment. He looked down at the woman who was kissing him on his lips

and forgot how to react.

Although she was promiscuous, she was quite inexperienced in kissing.

He was inexplicably familiar with the kiss, so he didn’t push her away in the first place. But when he

finally pulled himself together, he pushed her away without any hint of hesitation.

Being caught out of the guard, Dolores took two steps backwards because of the force. Her legs

buckled as her knees gave out, and she fell onto the ground. The dress was gathered up and her legs

were exposed.

The wounds that had been bandaged opened up and blood was seeping through the gauzes, which

looked so striking.

She felt the sharp pain from her knees.

And her body trembled slightly.

Matthew was dumbstruck.

Her legs…

Ignoring the pain on her knees, Dolores picked herself up from the ground and continued to beg him

not to divorce her. She looked into her with begging eyes. “Don’t divorce me, please.”

She was so afraid that she would lose everything again. She had had a hard time getting Randolph’s

attention by taking advantage of the identity as Matthew’s wife, but her efforts would be in vain now.

She was panicked and helpless, which caused her to shed tears.

Matthew walked over, stooped and then tucked up the hemline of her dress. Her knees that were

bandaged by white gauzes were exposed, and the red stains on them were so striking.

Did she get hurt?

His voice bore imperceptible distress and pity for her, but maybe he himself hadn’t perceived it. It was

really weird that he would feel distressed for her when seeing the wounds, “How did you get hurt?”

Dolores wiped off the tears on her face and took the chance to explain, “Yesterday I hailed a taxi to

home after getting off work. But the driver turned out to be hired by someone and tried to set me up. To

escape from him, I jumped off the car and got the wounds. I didn’t mean not to come back. The reason

why I was together with Sampson was that he had saved me by chance/”

Matthew didn’t want to admit that his heart was softened when he saw the wounds on her legs.

He stood up and maintained a straight and cold voice, “Do you know who set you up?”

“Beulah Shawn and Annabelle Flores. Because I had married you and they were afraid that I would

fight against them relying on your powers, so they took the initiative to gain the upper hand.”

There was no need to hide this. Her major concern at present was to persuade Matthew not to divorce

her.

It turned out the reason why she was unwilling to divorce him was not that she had feelings for him. It

was because she was persecuted by someone.

He inexplicably felt a bit disappointed.

He turned around to face the French windows, leaving her a back that appeared to be lonely, “Is this

the reason why you don’t want to divorce me?”

Dolores didn’t deny it, “The term of our transaction is one month. Wait until the deadline, okay?”

Matthew closed his eyes and furrowed his brows, apparently not wanting to go into this topic. He didn’t

say YES or No, instead, he just ordered in a cold voice, “Get out!”

“I’ll not stay out all night any longer. Mr. Matthew, during our marriage, I will fulfil the duties that a wife

should fulfil. Please rest assured.” Dolores made the promise.

Matthew got impatient and his voice became colder, “Get lost!”

Dolores hesitated for a short while before hobbling out of the room.

When the door of the office was closed, Matthew stroked his forehead and chucked at himself

scornfully.

He had lost control of himself because of this lightweight woman!

This had never happened!

He was quite clear that she was not pure or innocent, but he couldn’t help losing control of himself

because of her.

Dolores went back to her working position and unwrapped the gauzes. The wounds had opened up

and blood was seeping through the gauzes. She took out the medicine given by Sampson before and

scattered it over the wounds. But she didn’t bandage them again. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As the working time was impeding, the staffs arrived at the office one after another. During the whole

morning, Dolores just concentrated on the translation of the documents quietly. She was so quiet as if

there was not such a person in the office. Even Helen didn’t come to make troubles for her.

At noon, they all came out to have lunch.

Dolores didn’t come with them. She bought a boxed meal and scanned through the document while

having lunch in her working position. Helen had required her to finish the translation within two days.

But she just finished half of them, so she was quite busy with the rest half today.

To prevent Helen from making things difficult for her, she had to complete the translation within the

scheduled time.

Helen went to the canteen of the company for lunch together with Matthew, so naturally, they were now

coming back to the office together.

And Matthew didn’t ask about the presence of Dolores.

Thinking of this, Helen felt much better.

She was too emotional back then because she was so nervous when she learnt that Dolores was the

girl who spent the night with Matthew and was pregnant with his baby.

At present, when she had calmed down herself and gave it a thorough thought, she thought Matthew

would never be able to know the truth about that night since the middle-aged woman, the only person

who knew the truth, had died.

She just needed to maintain Matthew’s favor for her. As for Dolores, she thought someone would help

her get rid of her…
