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

Dolores could understand Matthew’s intention quickly.

“Do I then have to go out alone to entice him to show up?”

“No.”

Matthew would not let Dolores take this risk. Despite the fact that he was confident of success on the first try, he couldn’t, however, use Dolores as bait.

“I will find another person to replace you…”

“Do you think Sampson is a moron?” Dolores interrupted him, “We’ve known each other for too long. He knows too much about me. Even if you can find someone who looks like me, you may not be able to fool him also.”

She would be worried if Sampson was not caught. He was a ticking time bomb, and no one knew when he was going to blow out.

She wanted to settle Sampson’s case as soon as possible for the sake of her two children and her own safety.

“Let me do it.” She looked at Matthew very seriously. She was aware of his concerns, but she was willing to put her trust in him, believing that he would be able to protect her.

When Dolores noticed Matthew hesitating, she said purposely, “Are you not confident of yourself?”

Matthew looked at her for a while and said in a low tone, “Don’t incite me. Even if I’m well prepared, there will always be an unpredictable accident. I can’t put you in danger.”

Dolores leaned into his arms, “I believe in you. His presence causes me undue anxiety and fear.”

Matthew leaned back, and his face was hidden in the dark. His expression at this moment couldn’t be clearly seen. Dolores didn’t say anything, just lay on his chest to allow him to digest the situation.

After a good while, he suddenly said, “You sleep for a little longer.”

Dolores slept very little these two days. So, she was sleepy until she fell asleep while sitting just now. The period that she was asleep just now was short as well. She knew that Matthew had to go out and find Boyce to set things up, so she lay down obediently.

Matthew put the blanket over Dolores, “I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.” Dolores was no longer sleepy. But in order to let Matthew leave without any worry, she pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.

Matthew left the room after Dolores had slept soundly. But he had no idea that as soon as he left, Dolores, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes. Dolores had been sleepy, but after knowing Matthew’s plan, she was no longer sleepy.

She sat up straight and walked to the window with her body wrapped in the blanket. She could feel the bitingly cold wind outside through the window.
