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

Abbott walked into the office with Dolores on his heels. Matthew was talking on the phone and gestured for them to keep quiet as they entered.

Although Dolores anxiously wanted to know what happened, she knew she needed to wait for the time being.

Several minutes later, Matthew hung out the phone and waved at Dolores. “Come here.”

Dolores walked over and stood in front of the desk, wiping her sweaty palms on her clothes.

“Give me your phone?” Matthew said, reaching out to her.

“What?”

Dolores’ eyes widened. Wasn’t he going to tell her what happened? Why did he want her phone?

What the hell was going on?

Abbott stood silently at the window, looking at the sky while praying in his heart, ‘god, Helen White, please come back as soon as possible. If you’re not here soon, I’m afraid Dolores Flores will snatch Mr. Nelson.’

Matthew raised his brows and asked in an unhappy tone. “You don’t want to give it to me?”

“No, no, sorry,” Dolores said, hurriedly getting her phone out of her bag and handing it to Matthew. “It’s not locked.”

Matthew took the phone and unlocked the phone. He then opened the contacts and entered his phone number. Staring at the screen for a long moment, he abruptly moved his fingers to type ‘Mr. Nelson’ into the name column. ‘Dolores always addressed him in this way, after all.’ He then dialed the number he saved and his phone sitting on his desk lit up and vibrated.

Dolores shifted her gaze between Abbott and Matthew, still trying to understand what they were doing.

“What the hell just happened? Hey, say something!” Dolores hated being ignored.

Matthew handed the phone back to her. “This is so I can find you any time I need to in the future.”

When he tried to contact Dolores that afternoon, it shocked him to discover he didn’t have her phone number. The worst part was that he was extremely and inexplicably unhappy to discover that.

Dolores didn’t take the phone. She stared at him as if she was questioning: So Abbott was so eager to find me, and it turns out to be because Matthew wanted my phone number?

Matthew put the phone on the desk and sighed heavily. “Please, prepare yourself.”
