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

Charles White shook his head, “I’m not sure about it. She never told me anything about her. She only simply said that her adoptive parents weren’t good to her.”

Charles gazed at the rising sun outside the window and worriedly said, “How many orphans are adopted by good people?”

He was lucky to be adopted by Nathan White, a man who had never been married. Although he wasn’t as meticulous and thoughtful as a mother, he had fulfilled his fatherly love to his son.

“So you called me here today to tell me that she wasn’t the one who did it?” Dolores Flores tried to ask.

“Yes,” Charles was still willing to believe that Lacey Ward was still the innocent little girl.

Besides, Matthew Nelson was just guessing. What happened in the clothing store wasn’t enough for her to do this.

“The reason I called you today is for the two of you to clear it out face-to-face.”

Dolores looked at him. What did he mean by that?

Did he want Lacey to meet with her?

It wasn’t that she was hard-hearted or she wasn’t willing to let her go. It was just that after watching that video, she wasn’t sure who Lacey was anymore.

If she didn’t see that video, she would definitely believe what Charles said. However, she was extremely puzzled right now.

Matthew wasn’t a three-year-old kid who was guessing with no evidence. He only said that because he had evidences.

As a result from the investigation, she was indeed hiding something from Charles.

“Actually…”

Dolores was about to tell him what she saw, but suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open at this moment. Lacey stood at the doorway. She was a bit shy as she lowered her eyes, “I hope I didn’t disturb you.”

Dolores stopped herself from saying what she wanted to say and pulled out a smile, “You didn’t disturb us.”

Charles asked her to come sit inside, “Ms. Flores isn’t someone who likes to make a fuss about things. Relax, make yourself comfortable.”

Dolores glanced at Charles, but she didn’t say anything.

“Actually, the reason I asked you to come was because I just wanted to ask you something. Have you been to the hotel these days?” Charles’ question was very direct and straightforward.

Under the table, Lacey’s hands were tightly held together. She didn’t expect the reason Charles asked her to come was to help Dolores investigate this matter. He was also suspecting her already.

She raised her head and looked at Dolores, “Did anything happen to you that you think I’m the one who did it?”

“No…”
