Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 120

“I…”

Her heart was conflicted, she had to admit it. It wasn’t that she didn’t have some feelings for Matthew, it was that she didn’t dare to admit it.

She didn’t want to think about it.

What seemed near was not near, what seemed far was not far. She didn’t want to break open such vague emotions and go to the bottom of whether it was love or not.

It hurt to think so much.

When Jessica asked her, she didn’t know how to answer. Her heart seemed to be filled with all sorts of mixed emotions.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Jessica’s eyes were red, “Perhaps, now that he is treating you well, have you thought about to the future? Can Samuel and Simona accept it? Will you not think about it ever?”

“Mom, I don’t want to think about it right now. By the way, we may have to live here for a while. I am afraid that out residence is not safe.” Dolores deliberately changed the subject.

Jessica was unwilling to let go this topic, “Was it because of him that you wanted to come back from abroad?”

If she hadn’t come back, maybe these things wouldn’t have happened.

Dolores bowed her head and said nothing, clearly silently agreeing with Jessica.

Jessica had wanted to say a few words to her, couldn’t be blinded by the good in front of her.

Instead of saying what was on her mind, Jessica suddenly changed the direction and said, “Your life matters are yours to decide.”

She was an adult now and she had her own mind and ideas.

Too much interference could pressurize her.

Jessica sighed, “If it is for the safety for your children, then we must live here.’

Thinking about what Sampson did, she still had lingering fears.

Dolores knew what she was worried about and said, “Don’t worry, I will protect myself.”

Inside the villa…

Matthew laid the sleeping Samuel in the room downstairs.

Coral stood at the door, watching him.

Since Matthew had come in, she had been following him around, as if she had a lot to say.

“Do you already know it?” Coral asked from the door.

Matthew pulled up Samuel’s quilt, stood up and looked at her, “Know what?”

Coral was anxious, “That they are your children!”

Matthew’s eyes became gloomy as Coral seemed to have stepped on a vein with this topic.

It was something he had deliberately ignored, suddenly she asked about it and he was forced to look at it directly and he was not happy.

Coral frowned. Matthew’s attitude was very strange to her. Was she wrong? She thought.

Why was he looking at her like that?

Coral sighed, ran to bring the photo, walked to the bed and compared it to Samuel’s face, “Look…”

Samuel was injured and his face was swollen, completely different from when she had seen him last time.

She stared.

“Why is he hurt?” Coral felt really distressed. He was so cute and smart when she saw him before.

Matthew didn’t want to discuss this matter with others, “Don’t mention his identity in the future.”

“Can…”

No giving up, Coral tried to continue.

“She was pregnant before we got married. The children are not mine.” Matthew interrupted her quickly.

He had never touched her. Wouldn’t he know?

The thought of her with someone else in bed made him depressed and made it hard to breathe.

So, he didn’t want anyone to mention the identity of these children to him.

He didn’t want anyone to talk to him about her past.

He didn’t want to know about it!

“You… What are you talking about?” Coral was shocked. Her hands were trembling and she was only able to speak after a long time.

Matthew married someone who had already been pregnant?

How was this possible?

“I didn’t think of her as that kind of indecent girl with no self-respect. How could this be possible?” Coral couldn’t believe that Dolores was pregnant before she married Matthew.

“I know the truth and I don’t want to hear other people’s speculations about it.” After saying that, Matthew stepped out of the room.

This was Coral, he wouldn’t have said this much if it was anyone else.

Coral’s mind was a mess. She looked at the photos in her hands and at Samuel who was lying in the bed. Even though his face was swollen, she still remembered how he looked when he was not injured.

How could Dolores have conceived him before marriage?

How?

He clearly looked like Matthew did when he was a child.

Coral was still unable to come out of the shock of this incident.

She didn’t know how to walk back to the room, she felt like she was floating in space.

Dolores and Jessica entered the villa.

Jessica went to the guest bedroom to see if Simona was awake. Dolores went to the kitchen to find some ice cubes in the freezer. She wrapped them in a towel and applied it to Samuel’s face.

The sky gradually darkened and became red as the sun sank.

Coral had cleared up her emotions and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Simona woke up, finding herself in an unfamiliar environment she stuck to Jessica and stayed in her arms.

Jessica was also unfamiliar with the place so she held Simona in the room and didn’t go out.

In the study room, Matthew hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was five o’clock. He got up and walked out of the study room. The living room was quiet. Occasionally, the sound of Coral preparing dinner came from the kitchen.

Matthew opened the door to the bedroom and saw Dolores sitting on the chair by the bed with a towel on the table.

Samuel was still asleep.

It looked like Dolores was guarding him.

He walked in and looked at the child lying on the bed, his eyelashes spread on his cheeks. He reached out, held Dolores head and pressed it into his embrace comforting her, “Don’t worry too much.”

She hummed.

Matthew was standing and Dolores was sitting. He held her head so that her face was against his abdomen. She could feel his abs through his shirt, hot and hard.

“Thank you.” Dolores said sincerely as she stretched out her hand and wrapped it around his waist.

This time the incident had happened so suddenly, if it hadn’t been for Matthew’s help, she didn’t know what would have happened.

Fortunately, both children were fine now.

Matthew’s body froze, his thoughts became confused for a moment.

Dolores rarely took initiative to have physical contact with him. Did this mean that’s he was slowly opening up to him?

He clasped her head softly, rubbing her ears and the skin behind her ears, occasionally kneading her earlobes.

It seemed that her earlobes were a bit more sensitive, she shuddered slightly.

Feeling her reaction, Matthew bent down and kissed her hair, forehead, the corner of her eyes, her cheeks…

“Hmm…”

There was a soft groan, followed by Samuel’s slightly hoarse voice, “Mommy.”

Dolores quickly drew back, pushing Matthew away and quickly looked around to see Samuel, “Are you awake?”

Matthew didn’t know what to say.

“Yeah.” Samuel looked at Matthew, put his hand under the quilt and held the bed sheet tightly. Actually, he had woken up when Matthew had walked in.

He had kept silent on purpose to see how he and Dolores get along.

He was not prepared to see that. They were divorced but he still wanted to kiss his mother.

He really hated him!

He looked at Matthew and grinned, hissing painfully as the corner of his lips stretched, “Thank you, really!”

Matthew frowned. Looking at his smile, he could smell conspiracy.

“Don’t talk! There is a wound on your mouth.” Dolores felt sorry for her son seeing the corner of his lips hurt when he spoke.

“Mommy, do you not know?” Samuel pretended to be surprised.

“Know what?” Dolores looked at her son blankly.

Matthew glared at him warningly.

Samuel pretended to not see it and said to Dolores, “Mommy, I was kidnapped but it was intentional.”

“What?” Dolores couldn’t stop herself.

Was his brain affected? Why was he saying he was intentionally kidnapped?

Samuel continued to pretend to be innocent, “Yeah, it was his idea to have me kidnapped by Sampson.”

He pointed at Matthew.
