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

Dolores Flores averted her eyes without looking at him, lowered her head and asked, “What happened?”

“The stuff of your uncle, Jeffery Harris,” Oscar Adams said.

As Jolene Harris was his elder brother’s woman, thus he knew something about her. He had initially promised Dolores to investigate Matthew Nelson’s affairs, but he ended up knowing about Jeffery’s affairs.

He had no idea about the feud between Jeffery and Matthew, and he only knew that something had happened to Jeffery.

As Jolene’s daughter and Jeffery’s niece, Dolores should have been informed or given help.

Matthew also heard Oscar’s voice on the other end as he was close, then he looked at Dolores and wanted to see what her expression was, whether she was unhappy about Jeffery’s matter. However, he couldn’t see her expression at that moment since she lowered her head.

She had already seen the news and her mood swings had long passed. Moreover, even if she had any emotions, she wouldn’t have shown it with Matthew around.

She moved her feet and took two steps towards the roadside to distance herself from Matthew. She didn’t intend to stay away from him, she just didn’t want him to hear Oscar’s voice.

She still kept her head down, looked at her toes and said, “I know it. Don’t ask any questions and don’t interfere. I’m not in City C. Please help me to look after the things of the factory.”

“He is your uncle …”

“Uncle.” Dolores interrupted him and obviously didn’t want to talk about this topic.

Oscar wasn’t stupid and he understood her rejection. He paused for a moment.

Then he changed the topic, “Where do you go since you’re not in City C?”

“I attend my friend’s wedding. I’ll be back soon.”

“Well, I’m here, don’t worry.”

Dolores said, “Um, I’m going to hang up then.” She just hung up the phone after she heard his response. She put it back into her bag, raised her head and met his eyes. He was looking at her and his deep eyes looked obscure.

It seemed like he was probing, but also like he was pretending to be indifferent.

Just now she was standing close to him, so he must have heard what Oscar said.

She was afraid that he would misunderstand and explained, “I received those photos and was afraid that it was someone intended to deal with you, so I asked him to inquire about you.”
