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

In the villa…

“Alas-” everyone heaved a sigh.

Victoria was whimpering, trying to use her hand to cover the pain again. Her sobbing from time to time finally turned into a continuous low cry. Her eyes were closed. She bit her fist with her teeth, trying to stop the sob.

As a man, Jayden had good composure and could keep his emotion steady. Helping up Victoria, he said, “Let’s go home. You are still in poor health.”

She looked up to suppress her tears. “I want to stay here-”

Before she could finish her words, she realized that she had acted recklessly. Based on Matthew’s personality, how could she allow her to stay here?

Jayden knew what was in her mind. “We can come over often to see the kids.”

Victoria was still worried. She was quite emotional. “How could he be such an asshole? Didn’t he know what he had done?”

Matthew’s reaction implied that he had really known that he was the father of the two kids.

She could tell that Matthew was far sadder than anyone else in this room just now.

“Tell me. How could I rest assured?” Victoria sighed. “He’s always a smart guy. How could he make such a stupid mistake?”

Jayden patted her on the shoulder. “I believe he’ll figure it out himself. Listen to me. Let’s go home. If you want to see the kids tomorrow, I’ll take you here again.”

To persuade Victoria to go home with him, Jayden continued, “If Matthew’s not at home, you can take them back to our house for a whole day as well. Now we have two lovely grandchildren, we should be happy. Why are you crying? It’s not good for your health either.”

Victoria knew he was happy. Wiping her tears, she said, “I just felt so sorry for the two kids and also Dolores. As a single mother, she took care of the two children...”

“It’ll be better in the future.” Jayden heaved a sigh. “You’ve worried too much. Listen to me. Let’s go home first.”

Jayden helped her up. Victoria knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay. What Jayden said made sense - they could come here to visit the kids when Matthew was away, or they could take the kids back to their own house.

Thomas trotted ahead to open the door for them.

Coral sat on the sofa, staring at Jessica. “You shouldn’t have hidden it. You should have told the truth. Although you are quite unhappy, you shouldn’t have hidden it for such a long time for the sake of the children,” Coral complained.

Jessica looked down. If she had known it earlier, she would have told them the truth.

She also expected that the children would have a father.

However, Dolores said that man was a local that night. It had been a long time and nobody had mentioned it. Nobody had connected Matthew with the kids.

Jessica didn’t explain it to Coral. After all, it was her daughter’s privacy.

She couldn’t expose it.

If Coral misunderstood, it was alright.

Coral could tell that Jessica’s mood was quite down as well. Hence, she didn’t continue.

The breeze blew and the moonlight was obscure.

Samuel was sitting in the car quietly. Looking out of the window and seeing the landscape passing fast, occasionally, he closed his sister’s collar. He comforted her, “We’ll see Mommy pretty soon.”

Matthew noticed Samuel’s action from the rear-view mirror, his Adam’s apple bobbing, feeling a stream of heat going through his throat.

No matter how smart Samuel was, he was just five. He was so sensible and good at taking care of his sister. His sensibility made Matthew’s heart ached.
