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

Dolores opened the box, in which there was a round glass aquarium, in which there was an oxygenated plastic bag and two colorful fishes. They couldn’t be found in the market, quite rare.

It also happened last time in Charles’s house. Although they were different fishes, it still reminded her about what had happened in White City.

Matthew unbuttoned his shirt and went to the bathroom. He seemed to have made a mistake. Only Tiana, the weird girl, would send the fish to others as the wedding gift.

However, he didn’t know that they were from Charles instead of Tiana.

Charles was just like Armand. During the wedding, he was sitting in the corner, secretly blessing them.

Dolores turned to look at the man who had walked into the bathroom, slowly breathing a sigh of relief.

Matthew was quite petty. She was afraid that he would be unhappy. It seemed that he didn’t think this gift was from Charles. Otherwise, he would be jealous again.

Dolores opened the bag and put the fish into the glass aquarium.

When she tossed the bag and box into the garbage, a card dropped out from the box. She picked it up and opened it. There was Charles’s handwriting on it: “We can’t meet often but it doesn’t mean we are not close any longer. We are far apart but it doesn’t mean we don’t miss each other. Our sincere friendship can break through time and space. My best wishes to you. I wish you happy forever.”

Dolores looked down, her eyelashes trembling. She curled up her lips into a smile. Although there were not many words, he expressed his feelings by the front part and blessed her in the end. It meant that he was trying to let go of her.

She truly wished that he could fall in love with Tiana.

Closing the card, Dolores put it on the table. Since there were a pile of gifts, Matthew wouldn’t notice the card. She also saw the gift from Jeffery. She reached out and picked it up. Opening the box, she found a photo album in there.

After a hesitation, she opened it. The first photo was a group photo of her family. She saw some people that she didn’t know on it, who were her grandparents from her mother’s side. They were sitting on chairs, and behind them stood Jeffery and Jolene. They looked pretty young at that time.

She continued to browse and found Jolene’s photos, some of them were group photos with Jeffery. Those photos were not taken in the photo studio but were taken in daily life. Through the photos, Dolores could almost tell what was going on at that time.

Their parents loved each other, so the children got along with each other very well, too. In the photos, Dolores could tell that Jeffery’s eyes were full of care and love when occasionally looked at
