Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 144

Walking out of the mansion, Coral looked down at Samuel in her arms, “Let’s go to the supermarket. Don’t tell what happened here to your Mommy and Daddy, okay?”

She had deceived Jessica with the excuse of going to the supermarket, and she was afraid that if she went back without buying anything Jessica would become suspicious.

Moreover, this matter was not yet resolved. If Jessica or Dolores got to know about this, they might hinder the process and no one could tell when the truth be revealed then.

Although they had avoided talking about the test in front of him, Samuel still knew about it and it made him feel uneasy.

He pursed his lips tightly, “Do they doubt my identity?”

Coral shook her head, “No.”

Samuel smiled; his face full of disbelief.

Coral explained, “Your Mommy didn’t tell you Daddy about your identity. She must be mad at him. So, we have to show evidence and win him over, right?”

It seemed like a legitimate reason. Samuel looked up at the sky, “I don’t know if Mommy is going to be angry when she finds out about this.”

“Do you want Mommy and Daddy to reconcile and for you four to live together as a family?” Coral asked him.

He did.

His sister had been smiling a lot more these days.

He wanted a home and a family too, a family that had Mommy, Daddy and grandparents - a complete family.

Coral smiled, knowing that he was listening to his heart.

She helped him get into the car and they went to the supermarket before going to the villa.

In the afternoon, while Dolores and Matthew were still out and Jessica was playing with the children in the living room, Coral took Samuel’s hair strand and found Matthew’s in the bathroom and gave them to Thomas.

“Master has said for you to take care of the children well.” Thomas conveyed the order to Coral.

The result was still not out yet, he didn’t want to come forward rashly and warn Dolores about their plan. He wanted to wait until after he had proof.

“Reassure him. I will take care of them.”

“Okay.” Thomas left with the hair samples.

Coral returned to the villa.

It was like their secret meeting never happened.

Time flew quickly, and Dolores domestic branch of custom designing store LEO’s officially opened.

Early in the morning, a flower delivering car came over and one after another dozens of flower baskets were placed in the doorway.

Theresa was dumbfounded. Who sent them so many flowers?

She ran to the man who delivered them and asked, “Who sent these?”

“We are only the delivery people. We don’t know who sent these. You can look if there is a name in the greeting card.”

Theresa had already looked for it but hadn’t found a name which is why she had come over to ask them. “Forget it.”

Wearing a purple gown, she walked away to go into the store. Later, people were going to come over for Mrs. William, so she had to check the arrangements. However, she had only taken two steps before another car stopped at the door and a man got more flowers out.

They were quite a lot this time too. All of them were large baskets with colorful and beautifully arranged flowers, looking delicate and bright.

Soon enough, the space around the door was not enough and the baskets were places by the road.

Theresa walked over and saw the name that was written on one of the baskets this time. It was Boyce Shawn.

Boyce wasn’t as cunning as Armand. When the florist asked the name of the sender, he had just said it straightforwardly.

This store was connected to Dolores and they were Matthew’s best friends, so naturally they had to make the opening a little grand, so that people would know that the owner had a strong backing.

Theresa probably understood who sent these. She glanced at the flower baskets lined up on the road and sighed, “Looks spectacular.”

The event still hadn’t even started and the place already looked lively.

Mrs. William wore a very magnificent royal blue dress and had her hair curled. This time she was wearing a diamond jewelry set that was studded with emeralds, which was elegant and majestic.

Allison followed behind her, holding a bag in her hand. Dolores was busy checking the layout in the hall to see if there was any thing to fix. In the huge reception hall, the right side was reserved for refreshment and drinks and the opening ceremony was to be held on the left side where the clothing display was arranged. In the middle, a T shaped stage was prepared where a catwalk was to be held to exhibit the work of LEO.

Although Dolores didn’t have any connections in China, she still had a certain reputation in the industry. Coupled with Mrs. William’s connections and LEO’s reputation, many people were going to come today.

“Dolores.” Allison called her.

Checking and fixing the clothes properly on a model’s body, Dolores turned her head to look at Allison and asked, “What is it?”

She handed her the bag, “Here you go.”

Dolores didn’t respond immediately and asked after a moment, “What is this?”

“You will know after seeing it.” Mrs. William said with an elegant smile.

Dolores took the bag, placed it on the table and opened it. Inside was a dress, and it was very familiar because she had designed it herself.

It was her award-winning project, “First”.

But Maria and Matthew had bought it when they were about to get engaged. How was it here?

She looked at Mrs. William in confusion.

“Someone asked me to give it to you.” She didn’t say who asked her to give it to Dolores.

Dolores wanted to ask her again but Allison knew that Mrs. William didn’t want to talk, so she interrupted deliberately, “Hurry up and put it on! It’s almost time. You won’t be able to go change once people start to come in.”

Dolores hesitated. Allison pushed her into the changing room, “Hurry up! Don’t waste time.”

Dolores didn’t want to wear it but Allison rushed to help her take off her clothes, “Only by wearing your own work you can really show the value.”

Dolores couldn’t stand Allison man-handling her, “I will change by myself. You leave!”

Allison was worried and explained, “Hurry up! Soon people will be here.”

“Okay.” Dolores responded.

The door closed behind Allison and Dolores stood there looking a little lost while holding the dress. It was just a dress but it carried her dream. Since she was a teenager, she had a dream to become the best costume designer.

Later, she thought she was never going to get a chance but perhaps god was not too cruel to her and helped her be who she was today.

There was a loud knock on the door.

“Dolores, you okay in there?” Allison hadn’t left the door. Hearing nothing inside, she knocked the door, urging her to hurry.

Dolores answered half-heartedly, “Yeah, just a minute.”

“Hurry up! Some people are already here, you are the main character today.” She was going to be in charge of the store in the future.

She was the protagonist today.

Naturally, she was going to have to make contacts among the people who came here today.

Dolores glanced at the time, without giving herself any more time to think, she took off her clothes and put on the dress.

She had no makeup but her skin was fair and delicate. She casually put her hair up into a bun, leaving out a strand of hair that fell onto her ear and added a feminine touch to the updo.

The pink color looked pure and gentle, like a newborn baby which was unfamiliar with the world, tender and cute. This was the reason she had chosen this pink color to make the “First” dress.

It represented youth.

She had never thought that she was going to be wearing this dress someday.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she felt dazed.

Allison knocked the door loudly, “Dolores, come out quickly. People are here.”

“Okay.” Dolores opened the door and faced Allison. When she saw Dolores, she couldn’t stop herself from saying, “Dolores, you look so beautiful today.”

Dolores glanced at her, “So, I was ugly before today?”

“No, no.” Allison couldn’t take her eyes off Dolores, her light blue eyes looked stunned.

Allison was from Country A originally, but she had learned Chinese when she was in school, which is why Mrs. William had brought her over to help her.

She could help her facilitate communication here.

Now, there were a total of three designers in the store and even though Allison was good at it, they were still a little tight on staff in the store. There had already hired a receptionist, and a person to receive the customers, and they were going to hire more people afterwards.

Dolores got back down to business, “Let’s go!”

“Okay.” Allison followed Dolores, “I saw the people who came just now. They are really handsome guys.”
