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

“I…”

Her heart was conflicted, she had to admit it. It wasn’t that she didn’t have some feelings for Matthew, it was that she didn’t dare to admit it.

She didn’t want to think about it.

What seemed near was not near, what seemed far was not far. She didn’t want to break open such vague emotions and go to the bottom of whether it was love or not.

It hurt to think so much.

When Jessica asked her, she didn’t know how to answer. Her heart seemed to be filled with all sorts of mixed emotions.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Jessica’s eyes were red, “Perhaps, now that he is treating you well, have you thought about to the future? Can Samuel and Simona accept it? Will you not think about it ever?”

“Mom, I don’t want to think about it right now. By the way, we may have to live here for a while. I am afraid that out residence is not safe.” Dolores deliberately changed the subject.

Jessica was unwilling to let go this topic, “Was it because of him that you wanted to come back from abroad?”

If she hadn’t come back, maybe these things wouldn’t have happened.

Dolores bowed her head and said nothing, clearly silently agreeing with Jessica.

Jessica had wanted to say a few words to her, couldn’t be blinded by the good in front of her.

Instead of saying what was on her mind, Jessica suddenly changed the direction and said, “Your life matters are yours to decide.”

She was an adult now and she had her own mind and ideas.

Too much interference could pressurize her.

Jessica sighed, “If it is for the safety for your children, then we must live here.’

Thinking about what Sampson did, she still had lingering fears.

Dolores knew what she was worried about and said, “Don’t worry, I will protect myself.”

Inside the villa…

Matthew laid the sleeping Samuel in the room downstairs.

Coral stood at the door, watching him.

Since Matthew had come in, she had been following him around, as if she had a lot to say.

“Do you already know it?” Coral asked from the door.

Matthew pulled up Samuel’s quilt, stood up and looked at her, “Know what?”
