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

Dolores’s thought that was swallowed and restrained was inexplicably triggered by him. Her entire body felt uncomfortable and her face was slightly burning.

Matthew opened her collar and asked huskily, “Will it change?”

Dolores turned her head to look at him and reached out to caress his face. Her voice was soft, “It will become very ugly.”

When she was expecting Samuel and Simona, it changed especially fast in the latter months and turned dark grey.

“No matter what it becomes, I won’t mind.”

Matthew grabbed her hand that was stroking his face. He held her palm, pressed it against the pillow and kissed her lips.

The residual sanity told her that they could not…If they continued, she would only be more uncomfortable.

She mumbled, “The doctor said we can’t…”

His kiss became even wilder as he said in a mumbled voice, “You don’t know how much I want to make you comfortable.”

The body’s need did not diminish but grew stronger. She turned her head sideways, “You stay away from me.”

With the two of them hugging each other like this, the fire simply could not be distinguished. If this continued, they might not be able to resist doing…

Matthew was also trying very hard to control himself. He pulled her hemline down, turned over his body and lay flat on the edge of the bed. Both of them did not say anything and just lay quietly like that.

The clock on the wall kept ticking and time kept passing.

After about ten minutes, Dolores first broke the silence.

“Have you ever resented me in your mind? If I hadn’t gotten close to Victoria, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.” When Dolores heard Victoria saying about the past, she knew that Jeffery had deep feelings for Jolene. However, she did not expect that Jeffery could be crazy to this extent.

“No. I didn’t understand at first but I know you have your own thoughts.” Matthew’s voice returned to normal without the previous hoarseness.

Dolores turned her body sideways and buried her head in his arms, “You know what? I’ve fallen in love with you and I wish to…” take care of someone whom you can’t take care of.

Matthew held back the joy in his mind, “Are you confessing to me?”

Dolores said, “Sort of.”

He turned sideways and took her head out of his arms, looking at her face.

Dolores caressed her eyelashes, “It isn’t settled yet, is it?”

Matthew kissed her forehead and embraced her in his arms, “It’ll be done soon. You just have to rest and recuperate at ease, don’t worry about what’s going on outside. Don’t take anything you hear to heart too as those may be expedient approaches, you just need to trust me.”

Since he said this, something would happen for sure later but she did not know what exactly it was.
