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

“I would like to talk to Mr. Nelson, please let me go in.” Charles was trying hard to persuade the bodyguard. However, the bodyguard was determined to not let him in. It was his duty to not let any unauthorized people in. It did not matter what other people said, he would not let them enter.

Charles frowned. Why the person was so stubborn?

“I have an important matter…”

“What’s the important matter Mr. White has?” Matthew stood in the corridor. He did not show any expression on his face. The corners of his mouth slightly pursed and his eyesight was sharp.

His eyebrow could be seen clearly even though he was on the corridor, the tension could be felt, “Does Mr. White have found out the truth that happened today and want to have a talk with me?”

Charles knew that he was the wrong party, therefore, he apologised first, “It’s my bad to let Lacey know my whereabouts…”

In fact, he was not beware of Lacey, that was why Lacey could track him so easily.

It was after Tom’s investigation then only he knew that Lacey caused Dolores to fall into the lake. His hands were clenched tightly on the handrail, “Is Ms. Flores okay?”

“How Mr. White wants to settle it?” Matthew did not answer his answer directly. What he wanted now was an explanation.

Charles was still expecting that Lacey was just reckless and she was not a bad guy.

Boyce could see that he was hesitant, he reminded, “I think Mr. White cannot believe blindly that she was kind as you know her since young. You shall investigate her background. I think there must be a surprise.”

“What do you mean?” Boyce had hidden words obviously.

“I think you better ask her yourself. Oh, yea, talking about the threat last time, I think Mr. White must give an explanation. Overall, it’s Mr. White’s place. Mr. White would not conceal her faults, right?” Boyce leant against the wall and twisted his wrist, “Even though this is Mr. White’s place, we will still take action and no one can stop it if we decide to do that. It’s easy to settle a woman, but this is like committing a crime, shield one’s shortcoming is considered a crime too.”

It was a threat, an unrestrained threat.

Charles could understand the hidden meaning. If he insisted to conceal Lacey’s faults, Matthew would surely cancel their cooperation and they would become enemy too.

He smiled bitterly, “It’s my responsibility to explain the incident of Ms. Flores’ near-drowning. However, there must be evidence to show that Lacey was the one who caused it. I’ll definitely not conceal her faults.”

He did not give up on Lacey but this incident made him realized that Lacey was weird.

He never thought that Lacey would commit such a crime.

“Is Ms. Flores okay?” Charles asked again, not because he thought the incident was weird, but he really wanted to know Dolores’ situation.

“She’s my wife. It’s none of your business.” Matthew was fed up with Charles when he stuck to Dolores. Using this opportunity, he would like to let Charles know that Dolores belonged to him. Charles should not come up with any weird thinking on Dolores.

“It’s not a real man who covet other people’s wife. I think Mr. White is an understanding guy and a real man.” Matthew took it easy but Charles could not come up with a single word.

“Where’s the person? Mr. White shall lead the way, right?” Boyce could not wait longer to arrogate Lacey. He was very interested in her secret.

Charles took a deep breath and inside his heart, he had determined that if there was evidence that showed Lacey was the one who made mistake, he would not conceal her faults.

“How about this, let’s wait until Mr. Flores wakes up and let her arrogate Lacey on her own. Give me some time too, if Lacey admits it, it’ll be great. If she doesn’t want to admit it, I’ll hand over her to you.” Charles would like to hear something from Lacey in person.
