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

The voice sounded a bit familiar to Dolores, and soon she recognized the person. She stiffed a bit.

She wondered if she should look back or just pretend not to hear her.

Even if they met, she didn’t know what to talk about.

Right then, the person repeated her name and kept looking at her up and down.

Dolores couldn’t pretend that she hadn't heard her anymore, so she looked back.

Sure enough, Marian was standing afar. They were not quite distanced from each other, but Marina changed a lot. She looked much older. She used to take good care of herself, but now she looked even older than her actual age, having a lot of gray hair.

Marian forced a smile. “I thought I called the wrong person.”

As she spoke, she looked at Dolores’s belly. It had slightly bulged now. She asked, “Almost five months old, is it?”

Dolores hummed. “Almost.”

“Are you shopping here?” asked Marina.

Dolores said yes.

“Are you in a hurry? If not, there’s a cafe on the sixth floor. Shall we have a talk?” Marina suggested.

Dolores pressed her lips without speaking. She wondered what she could talk about with Marina.

“I don’t mean anything, just want to talk to you. I’m alone at home, always bored,” said Marina with a smile.

Since she said so, Dolores would be quite heartless if she kept refusing. Even if she didn’t want to mention her relationship with the Harris family, Marina didn’t do anything wrong. They used to talk with each other like a family and have meals together.

“Please wait for me,” Dolores said to the driver.

The latter nodded. “Okay, Mrs. Nelson.”

“There’s an elevator.” Marian pointed at the elevator and said.

Dolores walked over. They wait for the elevator to come down and went to the sixth floor. Marina chose an inner corner next to the window. It was quiet in the cafe, and there were almost no customers.
