Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 123

He would only show his weakness for such a short while, in this quiet night, in front of this woman.

Someone said that if you didn’t experience it, you wouldn’t resonate with other people’s sufferings.

She believed that if she hadn’t been abandoned by her father, she would not be able to understand his feelings right now.

Maybe it was because they had similar experience, they had freemasonry now.

Dolores reached out to pat his back.

She didn’t say too much and just console him in a silent manner.

Matthew was not a person who liked to show his feelings. If the one in front of him was not Dolores, he would not have shown his weak self.

“Come home?" His depressed voice sounded.

“I told Samuel that I’ll come back home to bring some clothes. If I don’t take the clothes, I’m afraid that Samuel would investigate into this. He’s a sensible boy." When thinking of her son, Dolores’ tone became more serious, “Don’t take risk with Samuel’s safety in the future. I’m serious."

“Okay." He never thought of what he should do if there was an accident.

Matthew started the car after calming down himself.

After a short while, the car stopped at Dolores’ residence. Dolores got off the car and Matthew followed behind her.

Dolores turned around and looked at him, asking, “Will you go upstairs too?"

"I want to see what your residence looks like." He had never visited her home.

Dolores led the way for him. When they arrived at the door, she produced the key and opened the door.

The house was not that big, but its decoration was very warm and made Matthew feel like he was in his own home.

Dolores went to Samuel’s bedroom to take his clothes first and then went to her bedroom to pack up Simona’s clothes.

When she was packing up clothes, Matthew casually walked around the house. The house was not that big, and although she had two children, the house remained tidy and clean. There was a picture on the bedside table, which was a group photo of Samuel and Simona.

Matthew picked up the picture. The picture was taken on a grassland and the children in the picture seemed to be two years old or more. With bubble toys at hand, they were blowing bubbles.

When Dolores saw the picture at his hand, she smiled, “This was taken right after they learned how to walk. Although Samuel was smart, he only knew how to walk at one and half and could only walk steadily at the age of two."

Lights flashed in her eyes when she mentioned about her children.

She was sending out the glory of motherly love.

She looked soft and gentle at the moment.

Matthew put down the picture and thought to himself, ‘She will only smile like this in front of her children, right?"

"Take a seat. I’ll go to the other room." Jessica’s bedroom was near this room and she needed to tidy up the room.

After Dolores’ departure, Matthew sat down by the bedside. Maybe it was because she had to take care of the children, there was a cartoon sheet on the bed and the bed looked quite clean.

The drawer of the bedside table was half-opened and there was a pink book inside. Matthew opened the drawer and found that the book turned out to be a picture album.

He took it out and opened it and saw a picture of a little infant. She was wrapped by a pink blanket and was wearing a pink hat. Her face was tender, soft and pinky and she looked quite cute.

He turned to the next page and saw a picture of Samuel. It was taken in his childhood. He was wrapped by a blue blanket and was wearing a blue hat. His face was as pinky as his sister’s.

It seemed the pictures were taken when they were just delivered because they looked really small and young in the pictures.

Dolores would take pictures for them every year, including pictures when they just learned how to walk, pictures when they started to teethe, and pictures when they could talk.

She had recorded all of these in detail.

Click.

A picture fell down onto the ground from the picture album.

Matthew picked up the picture and found that it was a group photo of Dolores and the two children. She was sitting on a carpet and the two children were playing building blocks on the carpet. Dolores was looking and smiling at them gently and lovingly.

He studied the picture for a while, but when he was about to put it back, he found that there were some words behind the picture through the light. Hence he turned over the picture and saw the words inscribed on the back of the photo that seemed to be written by a black fountain pen:

[Babies, my dear babies, mommy feels so sorry that I can’t give you a complete home. You only have mommy and grandma at home. But I will love you so much. Thank you for coming to my world and bringing lights into my lifeless world. With you, I don’t feel lonely or afraid anymore.]

Staring at the graceful handwriting with his unfathomable eyes for a short while, Matthew was lost in his thoughts and only put the picture back into the album and the album back into the drawer after hearing the noise.

With a bag at her hand, Dolores poked out her head from behind the door, “I finished."

Matthew stood to his feet, leaving a large area of dark shadows on the ground, and looked at the woman who was standing at the door, “You’ve packed up?"

"Yeah." Dolores nodded.
