Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 98

Randolph?

Why was he here?

Dolores opened the door immediately. After she got out, she thought about something and turned around to look at Matthew, “Go back now. I am afraid your presence will upset my mother.”

Matthew saw the people in front of them too. He was the one who brought up the divorce before, so Jessica had every reason to detest him.

Besides, Randolph was here too. It would be inappropriate if he followed Dolores.

Matthew nodded. He laid his eyes on the little girl in Jessica’s arms. The little girl had black hair which was combed into two ponytails. She had a fair and innocent face. Under the curly eyebrows was a pair of bright, big eyes. She looked like a delicately-carved doll. She was like an angel.

Then he looked at Dolores. Out of consciousness, he held the steering wheel tighter.

He had to admit that Dolores had two lovely children.

The boy was smart and the girl was adorable.

“You are not in such back luck.” Though abandoned by her father, she still had her mother. And now she even had two lovely children.

“What?” Dolores looked at him in confusion.

She didn’t understand what he meant by that.

Matthew reached his hand to move a string of hair from before her eyebrows and eyes to behind her ear, “Nothing. Go ahead.”

Dolores froze and then nodded, “Okay.”

The she closed the door and walked quickly towards Jessica. She dragged away Randolph who was pestering Jessica. Dolores stood before Jessica and glared at Randolph, “What do you want?”

“Lola...” Randolph looked at his daughter. The hands that were hanging beside his body were closed together now, “Your father was wrong.”

Six years ago, when the company was facing the plight, Annabelle stole the money and ran away. Beulah was still in prison now because of what she did back then.

When Randolph was faced with the plight, it was Dolores who had always been neglected by him that helped him.

At present, Dolores didn’t want to argue about who was wrong and who was right any more. She had let it go. She said with peace, “Don’t come find us anymore.”

Then he carried up her son and Jessica carried Simona in her arms.

Randolph run to catch her, “Lola.”

“If you keep pestering us, I will call the police?” Dolores’s face darkened.

Randolph looked at Simona who was in her arms and said with his eyes a bit red, “These are your children?”

“Yes.” Dolores’ patience was wearing thin.

“They look pretty. Just like you.” Randolph still wanted to chat, “I don’t have other meanings. It is just that I saw your mother today...”

Then he looked at Jessica, “and knew you were back. Call me whenever you need me.”

He quickly took out a name card from his pocket and handed it to Dolores.

Dolores didn’t accept it.

Randolph looked embarrassed, “You can think me as a friend. Maybe you will need my help someday.”

Dolores looked at him.

He had aged much in these years. His hair on the temples were already white. She left in an emergency that year and didn’t know how he toiled through the plight.

Dolores reached her hand to the name card and took it.

Randolph smiled and got out of Dolores’ way quickly.

His action was so humble. He looked like a child who had committed a mistake and acted carefully trying to fix it.

It would be a lie if she said she felt nothing for him.

He was her father by blood.

The blood running in her body was connected with his.

“Liar.” Jessica pulled Dolores’ hand, “Let’s go. Don’t be fooled by his performance.”

Jessica felt nothing but hate for Randolph.

She would never forgive him.

Dolores turned around with faint sadness and resignation and followed Jessica back.

When entering the staircase, Dolores asked, “How did you meet him?”
