Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 207

The floor was tiled with celadon. Dolores felt like she was walking on cotton, she felt light and didn’t feel safe. She didn’t know what was waiting for her.

The more she got closer to the truth she was looking for, the more nervous she got.

She didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing.

They walked into a large yard and their footsteps echoed all around.

The echoes bombarded their heart. A woman was standing in front of a long narrow table. Her back was facing them. Her hands were together and she looked like she was praying.

A big red door with engraving was wide open.

Kevin patted Dolores’ shoulder as they reached the door, signaling her to wait by the door. Dolores nodded as she understood what he meant. She stood there and didn’t go forward.

Kevin walked past the tall threshold and walked into the house.

“How dare you come to see me?” The woman sounded slightly angry.

Dolores trembled upon hearing her voice, this woman was indeed Victoria.

Dolores clenched her fists that were on her sides.

Who Victoria exactly was?

Her head was filled with questions and nobody was giving her answers right now.

Kevin stood behind Victoria and looked at the centre. The memorial plates of the Forbis family’s ancestors were placed in a row on the long narrow table.

“I cannot let the craft-manship that has been passed on for generations in the Forbis family to die like that…”

“You’re wrong!” yelled Victoria. She turned around and said, “Did you know that we were the ones who made the promise in the first place…”

She then noticed Dolores standing by the door. She paused.

Her voice was trembling as she said, “You, why are you here?”

She turned around and looked at Kevin, “Is this the heir you are talking about?”

The blood on her face drained and her face turned green. She breathed in and out hastily and her body was shivering as if she was going to pass out the next second.

“Yes,” said Kevin as if he didn’t notice Victoria being mad. He said firmly, “You cannot tell your son your secret, but can you at least tell your daughter-in-law? I thought you wanted her to inherit the craft to make Gambiered Canton Gauze since you gave her our family’s jade bracelet heirloom? You don’t wish the Forbis family’s Gambiered Canton Gauze to disappear off the face of the earth as well, right?”

Dolores raised her hand and looked at the jade bracelet on her hand. Didn’t this belong to the Nelson family?

Didn’t Victoria say what she gave to her was originally from her grandmother?

Why did it become something from the Forbis family?

Victoria frowned. Her nice facial features looked slightly ferocious, “Do you know that you will bring her trouble like that?”

“I know, but I cannot let the Forbis family disappear without a trace just like that.”

Kevin wasn’t backing off. He took a step forward and grabbed his sister’s shoulder with both hands, “I’m getting old and will not have much longer. I never wish for much, but I don’t wish to see the the Forbis family’s going down just like that, without a trace.”

Victoria clenched her fists on her sides, “Even so, you shouldn’t hide it from me and decided on your own!”

Kevin turned around and had his back against her, “If I were to tell you first, you wouldn’t have agreed to it. You don’t care about the Forbis family anymore anyways, all you care about is your son and your husband.”

The more he talked the angrier he got, in the end, he questioned his sister sternly as he looked at her, “You don’t care about the Forbis family from the very beginning, and only care about the Nelson family, right?”

Victoria closed her eyes. She tried to calm her raging emotions down and didn’t want to let them loose.

When Kevin called her and told her that he found someone to inherit the craft to make Gambiered Canton Gauze, she got mad and quickly rushed over. She would never have thought that it would be Dolores.

“Don’t get so mad, this is how it is now and there’s no turning back,” Kevin calmed down a bit and his voice softened, “I know that you have suffered in the past few years too. Even if nobody else can tell, I can. I think God is giving us this chance, he lay this out for us. Your daughter-in-law is even a fashion designer, this is fate!”

Not only that, but he was also telling her to continue to pass on the family’s craft no matter how risky it was.

As it was passed on for generations.

She was from the Forbis family.

And it was her duty.

Dolores helped Victoria to the bed and put a pillow behind her so that she could lie back comfortably.

Victoria held Dolores’ hand, signaling her to sit down.

Dolores abided and sat on the bed.

Victoria looked at Dolores as she held her hand, “You must have a lot of questions for me.”

Dolores nodded without hesitation, she first made a guess, “Are you Matthew’s biological mother?”

This was her assumption from listening to Victoria’s and Kevin’s conversation, but she wasn’t entirely sure.

Victoria looked at her and paused for a long while as if she was fighting with herself in her head. In the end, she nodded and gave Dolores a firm answer, “Yes.”

Dolores took a deep breath. What happened in the past, that Victoria couldn’t even tell her son that she was his mother?

What happened that they couldn’t acknowledge each other?

As a mother, she knew how a mother felt about her children.

She knew that Victoria probably suffered a lot.

“Can you tell me what happened?” Dolores looked at the jade bracelet on her hand. She planned to tell Victoria about how she met Charles, “When I was in danger, a man named Charles White rescued me. He saved me because he recognized the bracelet and thought that I was your daughter. He said he did that because his adoptive father told him to. His father is Nathan White, I’m guessing that you should know him as well.”
