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

“I’ve someone I like…”

“No…”

Before Dolores could finish her words, Charles kissed her out of a sudden and stopped what she was going to say.

Dolores’ pupil constricted, and she wanted to push Charles away out of instinct.

“Don’t push me away. Just this once… Just once.” Charles begged in a coarse voice.

Dolores was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat. She could feel Charles’ sorrow and that he was choking up.

Her body was stiff.

After a while, Charles’ lips moved from Dolores’ lips to her cheeks, then stopped beside her ears, “When Jeffery framed you, I knew it was a chance for me to take revenge for my foster father, but on top of that, you’re the reason too. I didn’t want you to be bothered by anything bad. Matthew would still be kind to Jeffery if he didn’t know the truth. I believe he won’t look back after I reveal the truth. He would do what he could to have vengeance for you. All in all, I did underestimate your love for him. I’m jealous, and I’m envious. Please take good care of yourself. You’ll be losing a man who loves you from now on.”

Charles quickly turned around, “I’ll leave, and I won’t disappoint you this time. It will be our last meeting today. I will not step foot into City B anymore. Now, go.”

Dolores gazed at Charles’s back, “Thank you.”

Then, Dolores called Boyce, who stood outside of the room.

Soon, Boyce walked in and glanced at Charles.

“Let’s go,” Dolores said softly.

Boyce didn’t say anything and pushed Dolores out of the room.

Boyce asked after they got into the lift, “Is it done?”

Dolores looked and sounded cold. It was like she didn’t want to talk about it, “Yes.”

“Boyce, I’m tired,” Dolores pressed her glabella.
