Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 1022

Matthew bit the bullet and said, "I'm telling the truth."

Dolores stood up from his lap, gazing at him coldly.

Her gaze made him so uneasy. “Why are you look at me like that?” he asked.

“Matthew Nelson, since when did you learn how to lie?” Dolores looked at him. “If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I won’t let you leave town.”

After that, she walked to the door. Matthew grabbed her hand to stop her. “You’ve become a mother-in-law, but you are still so childish. If they saw you, it would be so embarrassing.”

“Then tell me the truth.” Dolores looked back at him. “Where the heck are you going?”

Knock. Knock--

Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door. Dolores said, "Matthew, let go of me."

Matthew released her. “I’ll go open the door.”

It was Abbott and his wife at the door. His wife was a beautiful western woman with fair skin and deep eyes. A girl around ten years old was standing with them. She's Abbott's daughter, a mixed-race girl.

Her hair was brown and she also had fair skin, but it wasn't so snow-white as her mother's. Her face was ruby. She had big eyes with blue in her pupil

Right then, she was wearing a dress with a bun on her head, looking so adorable.

Dolores wave at her. “Come here, Kmi.”

“Hi, Mrs. Nelson,” Kmi called her sweetly. Then she threw herself into Dolores’s arms.

Although Kmi was quite young, she was in the same generation as Joshua and Amanda, so she was quite close to Dolores.

Dolores held her up. “You’ve gained some weight, looking chubby.”

Kmi smiled and said, “I like Chinese food.”

"She has quite a good appetite recently, especially after coming back to China. She couldn't control herself at all," said her mother, Lina, with a smile.

“She’s still young. It’s OK for her to be chubby.” Dolores gently pinched Kmi’s cheek.

Abbott said he wanted to talk business with Matthew, so they went out to have a private talk, leaving the two women in the lounge.

Shortly after, they came back in.

Dolores held Kmi while sitting on the sofa, feeding her chocolate.

“Excuse me, Dolores.” Abbott sat down. “I want to take a break.”

Dolores didn’t look at him. Instead, she looked over at Matthew and asked, “What did you talk about outside just now?”

“It’s something about Abbott’s work,” answered Matthew.

Originally, Abbott did report his work status to him and that he would leave town in two days. However, Matthew used it as an excuse to fob off Dolores.

Dolores believed that there was a connection between Abbott’s break and Matthew’s plan to leave town.

“Abbott mentioned it to me earlier,” Matthew added.
