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

Hearing her familiar voice, Theresa rubbed her eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked at the time. It was three o’clock at midnight.

“Lola…”

“Um, did I wake you up?” Dolores said softly.

Dolores pondered for a moment and said, “Armand had a meal here last night. Boyce and Jasmine had got their marriage certificate. We were all quite happy, so we drank some wine. But, we didn’t know he didn’t get a chauffeur…”

“Did he have an accident?” Theresa instantly felt wide awake, “How is he now?”

“I’m not sure. It seems quite serious. Matthew and Boyce have gone over. I’m not feeling well so I didn’t go over. It’s better that you come back to visit him. He has no family members around him and Mrs. Bernie is his only relative and she is very old.”

“Okay,” Theresa said without hesitation.

“Then you also don’t be too rushed. We can handle the problem here.” Dolores reminded her as if she was afraid that something bad might happen if she was too anxious.

Theresa said that she knew.

After hanging up the call, Dolores couldn’t fall asleep.

She felt apprehensive as she was afraid that something bad might happen to Armand.

Later, Jessica came. Dolores asked her to sleep but she said that she couldn’t fall asleep after being awakened and she wanted to accompany her.

Jessica deliberately talked to her so that she wouldn’t think too much about the mishap.

Dolores said, “She has grown up.”

“Yes. I still remember the time when they were born. They were so small. In a blink of an eye, you have your third child.” Jessica lamented how quickly time passed.

Dolores smiled. Time flew and she had never thought that she would be like this.

She had her children around her. Her husband was not only good-looking but also rich.

As they were chatting, the time passed and it was very late already. Jessica fell asleep on the side of the bed. Dolores covered a thin blanket on her as she was afraid that she would catch a cold as the air conditioner in the room was turned on.

Theresa booked the earliest flight and it was Oscar who came to send her, “Why are you so urgent? It is early in the morning. You are so rush to go and didn’t even have your breakfast.”

Theresa didn’t bring anything and only carried a bag with her, “Armand had a car accident.”

Oscar said, “Oh, I see. Is he trying to deceive you for your sympathy and hope that you will be softhearted?”

Theresa shook his head, “I don’t think so. It was Lola who called me at midnight. I feel that she is also very worried and she doesn’t look like she is deceiving me.”

Oscar waved his hand, “I just simply said it but you take it very seriously. Go back to take care of him. I can settle the things here. No worries.”

Kevin had come to City C. He was in charge of the textile factory. The business of the clothing stores had become stable and there were producers and designers working in the store. The business wouldn’t be affected if a person was absent for a while.

Theresa said, “Thanks, Oscar.”
