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

Matthew wasn’t able to dodge and Dolores fell directly into him.

Her forehead impacted painfully onto his chin. And her lips pressed onto something stiff protruding from his body. The feeling was familiar yet distant.

Dolores was stunned for a moment and quickly got up when she came to her senses. Then she realized that her lips touched his Adam’s apple… She held onto her forehead in pain and her face was burning hot due to her blushing.

Matthew was also dazed from the contact and slowly looked up at her, “If I’m a pervert, then who do you think you’re?”

Before Dolores could reply, he sat upright slowly and purposefully adjusted his collar and touched the position where Dolores had kissed. He laughed aloud, “We are husband and wife. You can tell me directly if you want to kiss me. I’m not so petty.”

Dolores was speechless. Who wanted to kiss him? It was an accident!

“I won’t want to kiss you!” Dolores whipped around her head and quickly left the living room.

Matthew sat on the sofa and was upset by what she said and replied sarcastically, “Then who do you want to kiss?”

He scoffed, “That man who impregnated you?”

The fear and shame were suddenly exposed with all their gore.

She didn’t want to talk about how she became pregnant. But the cold manner which Matthew said ripped her heart open painfully. She was shattered but she maintained a strong front, “Of course, I love the father of my child.”

Good, this woman was something!

“Ms. Flores, have you forgotten that you owe me something?” Matthew stood up and brushed his dustless shirt, slowly raised his head, and looked at the petrified Dolores, “I need a translator. Come to the office to work from tomorrow onwards.”

He had demand after she took the land contract. That was for the better as she would repay him for the land contract and wouldn’t owe him a favor.

“Okay.” She replied and then pushed open the door to go into the room.

Her face heated up when she thought about what had happened. She didn’t leave the room so that she wouldn’t have to face Matthew until Coral informed her that dinner was ready. Only then did she come out of the room.
