Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 123

He would only show his weakness for such a short while, in this quiet night, in front of this woman.

Someone said that if you didn’t experience it, you wouldn’t resonate with other people’s sufferings.

She believed that if she hadn’t been abandoned by her father, she would not be able to understand his feelings right now.

Maybe it was because they had similar experience, they had freemasonry now.

Dolores reached out to pat his back.

She didn’t say too much and just console him in a silent manner.

Matthew was not a person who liked to show his feelings. If the one in front of him was not Dolores, he would not have shown his weak self.

“Come home?" His depressed voice sounded.

“I told Samuel that I’ll come back home to bring some clothes. If I don’t take the clothes, I’m afraid that Samuel would investigate into this. He’s a sensible boy." When thinking of her son, Dolores’ tone became more serious, “Don’t take risk with Samuel’s safety in the future. I’m serious."

“Okay." He never thought of what he should do if there was an accident.

Matthew started the car after calming down himself.

After a short while, the car stopped at Dolores’ residence. Dolores got off the car and Matthew followed behind her.

Dolores turned around and looked at him, asking, “Will you go upstairs too?"

"I want to see what your residence looks like." He had never visited her home.

Dolores led the way for him. When they arrived at the door, she produced the key and opened the door.

The house was not that big, but its decoration was very warm and made Matthew feel like he was in his own home.

Dolores went to Samuel’s bedroom to take his clothes first and then went to her bedroom to pack up Simona’s clothes.

When she was packing up clothes, Matthew casually walked around the house. The house was not that big, and although she had two children, the house remained tidy and clean. There was a picture on the bedside table, which was a group photo of Samuel and Simona.

Matthew picked up the picture. The picture was taken on a grassland and the children in the picture seemed to be two years old or more. With bubble toys at hand, they were blowing bubbles.

When Dolores saw the picture at his hand, she smiled, “This was taken right after they learned how to walk. Although Samuel was smart, he only knew how to walk at one and half and could only walk steadily at the age of two."

Lights flashed in her eyes when she mentioned about her children.

She was sending out the glory of motherly love.

She looked soft and gentle at the moment.

Matthew put down the picture and thought to himself, ‘She will only smile like this in front of her children, right?"

"Take a seat. I’ll go to the other room." Jessica’s bedroom was near this room and she needed to tidy up the room.

After Dolores’ departure, Matthew sat down by the bedside. Maybe it was because she had to take care of the children, there was a cartoon sheet on the bed and the bed looked quite clean.

The drawer of the bedside table was half-opened and there was a pink book inside. Matthew opened the drawer and found that the book turned out to be a picture album.

He took it out and opened it and saw a picture of a little infant. She was wrapped by a pink blanket and was wearing a pink hat. Her face was tender, soft and pinky and she looked quite cute.

He turned to the next page and saw a picture of Samuel. It was taken in his childhood. He was wrapped by a blue blanket and was wearing a blue hat. His face was as pinky as his sister’s.

It seemed the pictures were taken when they were just delivered because they looked really small and young in the pictures.

Dolores would take pictures for them every year, including pictures when they just learned how to walk, pictures when they started to teethe, and pictures when they could talk.

She had recorded all of these in detail.

Click.

A picture fell down onto the ground from the picture album.

Matthew picked up the picture and found that it was a group photo of Dolores and the two children. She was sitting on a carpet and the two children were playing building blocks on the carpet. Dolores was looking and smiling at them gently and lovingly.

He studied the picture for a while, but when he was about to put it back, he found that there were some words behind the picture through the light. Hence he turned over the picture and saw the words inscribed on the back of the photo that seemed to be written by a black fountain pen:

[Babies, my dear babies, mommy feels so sorry that I can’t give you a complete home. You only have mommy and grandma at home. But I will love you so much. Thank you for coming to my world and bringing lights into my lifeless world. With you, I don’t feel lonely or afraid anymore.]

Staring at the graceful handwriting with his unfathomable eyes for a short while, Matthew was lost in his thoughts and only put the picture back into the album and the album back into the drawer after hearing the noise.

With a bag at her hand, Dolores poked out her head from behind the door, “I finished."

Matthew stood to his feet, leaving a large area of dark shadows on the ground, and looked at the woman who was standing at the door, “You’ve packed up?"

"Yeah." Dolores nodded.

Now that he wanted to punish them, he could just hand Sampson and Maria to the police. They didn’t kill the boy after all and at most they would be interrogated in the police station and would be arrested for a few days. When Matthew cooled down, this matter would be solved.

“Dad, look, there are many people at the entrance." Warner was sitting on the driver’s seat and therefore he saw many people surrounding around the entrance of his home from afar.

They were swearing at them, most of which were about the Herbert family’s throwing their weight around and bullying the weak or the distortion of the family’s human nature, etc.

All in all, their words were so harsh and abusive.

“Go to the back gate." Landon said with a gloomy face. Apparently, he was extremely furious.

“Matthew Nelson is too arrogant!" He didn’t even inform them of this and just directly carried out his plan, leaving them no room to make preparations.

“This is his way of doing things. And it’s well-known in the industry." Since Warner was also in the business circle, naturally he had heard about Matthew’s way of doing things.

He was decisive, enterprising and resolute.

The car stopped at the back gate. When Warner walked into the house in a fury, Camilla was just about to give him a phone call and tell him that there were some people at the entrance and therefore he’d better come back from the back gate.

Seeing them come in, Camilla put down the phone and walked over to greet them, “Are you okay?"

“We’re good. We come back from the back gate." Warner took a deep breath, “This matter has a great impact on us. I will not have dinner at home tonight. I have to go out."

"Where are you going?" asked Camilla.

“I should have a talk with him." Warner’s voice gradually fell to a whisper because he was not confident in it inwardly.

“Then I’ll leave this matter in your hands." Landon had been busy outside all day long and looked quite exhausted. Camilla supported him into the bedroom.

When seeing Warner, Maria walked downstairs from the second floor, “Warner, I’ll go with you."

"What are you going for?"

Warner stared at her coldly, “You are the culprit of this matter. You go with me? You would only bring it to a worse situation."

Maria had been accustomed to his denials so she didn’t get mad; instead, wearing a pair of slippers, she walked downstairs step by step and fixed her eyes on Warner, “I possess a thing. And he will be willing to negotiate with us even make a concession if he sees it."

"What thing?" Warner asked with uncertainty.

Maria appeared to be very confident, “You bring me together with you, and I’ll show it to you. How’s it?"
