Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 368

Suddenly, there was a warmth that slowly surrounded her from her back. She opened her eyes abruptly and turned around her head…The face that came into her view was the one that she was so familiar with to the point that it was almost carved into her bones.

Actually, nothing had happened. Everything was good.

But she had no idea why she felt anxious in her heart as if a hole had been dug in her heart and her chest had become empty. She wanted to find something to fill it.

She turned around and threw herself into his arms. Her hands held his slender waist tightly.

Matthew lowered his gaze, stroked her hair, and asked lightly, “What happened to you?”

He could feel that she wasn’t in a good mood today.

Dolores buried her face into his embrace and muffled, “Let me hug you for a while. Just a little while will do.”

She just needed some time to adjust her mood. She would be all right soon if she was given some time.

Matthew didn’t say anything else but hugged her tightly.

Matthew’s palm was wide and thick, and it was so warm that it seemed to be able to calm other people’s minds.

He stroked Dolores’ back. Dolores slowly calmed down in his hug.

She raised her head and asked after she held off for a while, “Why are you here?”

Matthew kissed her forehead, stroked her hair which was at her forehead, and said with his low voice, “Uncle invited me for a meal. I’m here to take you with me.”

Dolores’ eyelashes trembled, and she felt something wasn’t right.

Marina also came to invite her for dinner today, but she changed her mind in the end and left in a hurry.

Was this a dinner appointment or two different dinner appointments?

“Is it aunty who called you?” Dolores tried to ask.

“No.” Jeffery was the one who contacted him.

Dolores suddenly realized why Marina had changed her mind so abruptly. This dinner was most likely a trap for them.

However, if the dinner was a set-up, then who did Jeffery want to go up against?

According to Marina, Jeffery believed firmly in Matthew’s identity. So, he obviously wouldn’t do anything bad to him.

If his target was not Matthew…

Dolores suddenly realized everything. Marina stated Matthew’s identity before leaving and, at the same time, reminded Dolores of her situation. Marina also asked about her relationship with Victoria.

Could it be that Jeffery knew the relationship between her and Victoria? Was this dinner a set-up for her?

She was almost certain of her guess at the moment. Marina suddenly left, probably because she regretted it or she couldn’t find it in her heart to do this to them.

Dolores’ looked flustered because she didn’t know how much Jeffery knew.

She was not sure if Marina’s arrival was just a ruse to distract her on purpose, and in fact, Jeffery had already known Matthew’s identity.

Her heart was filled with more and more guesses, but no one could answer any of them.

She tightened her arms, “I don’t want to go, and I don’t want you to go. Can we go home?”

Her voice trembled unconsciously, and she spoke with a little hoarse voice.

Matthew didn’t hesitate at all, “Okay.”

His straightforwardness, his least hesitation, and his resolution made Dolores’ heart, which was agitated, calm down slowly. A wave of warmth emanated from the depths of her heart.

She could feel his feelings and his care for her at the moment.

She held his face and said this sentence without thinking much, “Do you really like me? Do you like me, not because I’m Simona’s and Samuel’s mother, but like me just for who I am? Do you still want to be with me even if without the two kids?”

Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Are all of the women so fickle?”

Dolores pretended to be serious. She tilted her head and nodded seriously, “I think so. So, you have to treat me well. Maybe I might change my heart one day…”

Matthew came to a halt. Dolores raised her head. Why didn’t Matthew continue walking?

“Are you angry?”

Matthew squinted at her. He was not angry, but… he was threatening her!

“If you dare to change your heart, I’ll break your leg.” He pretended to be fierce.

Dolores smiled as she relaxed her frown. She held his arms tightly.

They walked out of the store. Matthew’s car was parked at the side of the road. They made their way over to the car. After they got into the car, Matthew leaned over his body to help her in fastening the seat belt.

Dolores straightened her back, “Aunty came here to the store today.”

The seat belt was buckled with a click. Matthew raised his head to meet her gaze.

Dolores looked at him, “She also came here to invite me to dinner, but then she said that she had something to busy with and left in a hurry. I’m not sure if this is the same dinner appointment as uncle’s.”

Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly, and there were turbulences at the bottom of his eyes.

He had a feeling that something was not right since Jeffery had asked him to go to the hotel to get the document the last time.

“She even specially told me…”

Dolores took a deliberate pause.

“Mm?”
