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

When they reached the villa and went inside, Dolores gave him the car keys, “The car is still at the hotel.”

“I’ll have Abbott drive it back.”

Hearing their voices, Simona turned her head to look at them and then quickly slid off the sofa rushing over to meet them. The one she ran to hug wasn’t Dolores, it was Matthew. She raised her head to look at him and said, “Daddy, why did you come back so late?”

She looked at him innocently with her big clear eyes, her small face looking like soft rice cake.

She looked like an angel.

Matthew picked her up and said patiently, “Your Mommy and I went for a dinner.”

Simona’s eyes lit up brightly. Wow! Mommy and Daddy’s relationship was so great.

The two of them also went on dates.

How awesome!

“Mommy, is it true?”

Dolores restrained her emotions and smiled at her, “Yes.”

“So, can I and Samuel also go out for dinner with you guys?” Grabbing Matthew’s collar in her little hands, Simona looked at him expectantly.

Matthew lowered his gaze and glanced at her little hands around his collar which was now full of creases.

He wasn’t angry; he smiled, “Depends on your mommy’s behavior.”

…?

What did he mean?

Simona didn’t understand what he meant. She blinked her round twinkling eyes and asked immediately, “What does that have to do with Mommy?”

Dolores looked slightly uneasy and somewhat embarrassed. She reached out to take Simona in her arms, “Let’s go, I will put you to sleep.”

Simona hugged Matthew’s neck tightly unwilling to go with Dolores.

Coral stood at the door of the room, “Simona has been harping the same sentence the whole day, repeatedly asking when her Daddy will be back. She refused to go to bed and kept waiting on the living room sofa.”

Matthew had denied clearly that these were not his. Coral couldn’t understand why they were so close then.

She believed that the blood was always thicker than water.

If these two children had nothing to do with Matthew, why were they becoming so close to him?

“Really?” Matthew pinched her cheek playfully and Simona lost her mind with happiness.

Shyly, she buried her face into his neck.

Coral smiled, thinking that this was really how a father and daughter relationship should be like.
