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

“Mom, I’m sorry, don’t abandon me…”

Matthew was stunned; he looked down at her hands which were holding onto his collar. His tender gaze fell on her face and she looked very much in pain and was close to hysterical.

Matthew frowned, “Dolores?”

Dolores could not hear him. She appeared to be in a daze. She looked very troubled but then very quickly she came to her senses and let go of Matthew and then fell into a deep sleep. Matthew slowly straightened up, looked at her for a couple of seconds before turning around, and left the room.

Helen was seated on the sofa and holding tightly onto a glass. Every second that Matthew was in the room was torture for her. Didn’t this woman need to take care of her mother in the hospital? Why did she have time to come back?

Helen knew about Abbott going to investigate Dolores and that was why Helen sent someone to A country ahead of Abbott’s man. She managed to kill the woman who gave Dolores the business. She was able to fake that the woman jumped to her death. This was also the reason why Abbott was unable to find out the truth of what happened that night.

She spent all her effort to prevent Matthew and Dolores from having time together. She paid all the people in Dolores’ mother’s apartment complex to gossip and slander against Jessica resulting in her hospitalization. With Jessica’s hospitalization, Dolores will have less time with Matthew. But little did she expect this woman to not remain at the hospital.

She was even carried by Matthew. Helen became distraught when she thought about this. As a result, she forgot to control her expression. When Matthew came out of the room, he could see Helen’s expression and he walked over to her silently.

Helen stood up and blurted out a question, “Is Ms. Flores ill?”

Matthew didn’t answer immediately but sat on the sofa. He crossed his slender legs and slowly looked up indifferently at Helen, not revealing his thoughts.

Helen was gripped with anxiety as she was fearful of Matthew in that manner. She cautiously asked, “Matthew…”

“What?” He grinned, “What’s up?”

It didn’t seem like something was amiss. Helen composed herself and sat beside him. Since he did not mind her presence, her anxiety eased considerably.
