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

Samuel looked back.

He saw the man standing beside the handbasin. Drying his hands in an elegant way, the man raised his eyes lazily, “Not tall enough?”

Samuel raised his head. Though he was much shorter than the man, he could not appear weaker than him.

“I am not peeing.” He couldn’t acknowledge in front of this jerk that he was not tall enough to pee into the urinal.

Matthew threw the tissue that was used to dry his hands into the dustbin. He glanced at Samuel, “Are you sure that you don’t need my help?”

“I don’t.” Samuel answered firmly with his head raised high.

“Fine then.” Matthew rolled up one sleeve of his shirt, showing half of his robust arm. He put his hand into his pocket and looked at the urinal. Then he checked the height of Samuel, “You got a spine.”

Samuel pursed his lips hard, and sweat was oozing from his forehead. His little body was trembling.

He could hold it no longer.

But in front of this humbug, he could not show weakness, let alone ask him for help.

He clenched his little fists tightly and tried his best to hold it.

Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly and leaned against the mirror beside him. He wanted to see how long this boy could hold it.

Though Samuel was little, his temperament was not.

“Can you tell me why you are so hostile to me?”

Samuel was angrier. He abandoned his mommy already. Why did he kiss his mommy?

The humbug had no right to do that. He would find a man who was way better than him for his mummy.

“You hurt my mommy. And you think I didn’t see it?” Samuel glared at him.

He wished to glare a hole in Matthew.

“I hurt him?” Chewing these three words in his mouth, Matthew thought in his head when he saw him hurting Dolores. He had only met her twice.

When they first met, Matthew gave her a big “surprise”.

Matthew squinted his eyes. Was Samuel talking about the time in LEO when he dragged Dolores away and kissed her in staircase? He saw it. So...

So!

Matthew straightened up and walked two steps forward. He squatted down before Samuel and

their eyes were level. Matthew glanced at Samuel’s legs which were closed together and smiled lightly, “I did hurt her. What are you going to do with me?”

Samuel’s eyes opened wider. He wanted to devour Matthew with his mouth.

Because he was so angry or that he was trying his best to hold his urine, Samuel’s whole body was trembling.
