Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Back then, she was sure he was satisfied with her. Dolores knitted her eyebrows and speculated: Did he find someone more suitable for him?

At such a thought, Dolores felt that the circumstances were somehow more acceptable.

At night.

The moment Matthew came home, he immediately shut himself in his room. It seemed that he still had work to attend to.

Dolores had learnt about Matthew’s preferences on food from Coral in the afternoon, and she was ready to prepare dinner for him by herself.

Coral smiled, “This is what a wife should do for her husband.”

Dolores strained a smile while lowering her head. If it was not for the fact that she was at his mercy, she wouldn’t flatter him on her own volition.

Coral let out a sigh, “The madam has passed away a long time ago and the master has remarried ever since. The young master rarely goes back home, but beneath his cold facade, he is actually someone how treasures relationship with others.”

Dolores listened to her intently without interrupting her.

“Ms. White used to save the young master when he was still a child, and later on, she has been following him around. The young master has never liked her, but somehow his attitude towards her takes a turn for the better after that business trip last time. Nevertheless, you have nothing to worry about. You are still his wife anyway.” Coral patted her shoulders as she tried to comfort her.

Dolores strained a smile as she knew well she had no say in who he wanted to be acquainted with. It was his own life after all.

Even though they were husband and wife in name, it somehow never felt like that. They were more like strangers.

She knew very well the real meaning of their marriage.

Dolores sneaked a glance at the study room and recalled the black coffee that Helen had made in the morning. She asked Coral, “Coral, do you know where the coffee beans are? I want to boil him some coffee.”

Coral thought that Dolores was very thoughtful, so she dished out the coffee beans and handed them to her while also putting in some words of advice, “Don’t add any sugar or milk. The young master is not fond of sweet things.”

Dolores nodded and in no time, a freshly-brewed coffee was born. She poured some into a delicate coffee cup and carried it to the study room herself.

In the study room, Matthew was looking impatient on the phone, “What is the matter with the human resources department? Is it that hard to get a good translator?”
