Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 153

In the villa…

“Alas-” everyone heaved a sigh.

Victoria was whimpering, trying to use her hand to cover the pain again. Her sobbing from time to time finally turned into a continuous low cry. Her eyes were closed. She bit her fist with her teeth, trying to stop the sob.

As a man, Jayden had good composure and could keep his emotion steady. Helping up Victoria, he said, “Let’s go home. You are still in poor health.”

She looked up to suppress her tears. “I want to stay here-”

Before she could finish her words, she realized that she had acted recklessly. Based on Matthew’s personality, how could she allow her to stay here?

Jayden knew what was in her mind. “We can come over often to see the kids.”

Victoria was still worried. She was quite emotional. “How could he be such an asshole? Didn’t he know what he had done?”

Matthew’s reaction implied that he had really known that he was the father of the two kids.

She could tell that Matthew was far sadder than anyone else in this room just now.

“Tell me. How could I rest assured?” Victoria sighed. “He’s always a smart guy. How could he make such a stupid mistake?”

Jayden patted her on the shoulder. “I believe he’ll figure it out himself. Listen to me. Let’s go home. If you want to see the kids tomorrow, I’ll take you here again.”

To persuade Victoria to go home with him, Jayden continued, “If Matthew’s not at home, you can take them back to our house for a whole day as well. Now we have two lovely grandchildren, we should be happy. Why are you crying? It’s not good for your health either.”

Victoria knew he was happy. Wiping her tears, she said, “I just felt so sorry for the two kids and also Dolores. As a single mother, she took care of the two children...”

“It’ll be better in the future.” Jayden heaved a sigh. “You’ve worried too much. Listen to me. Let’s go home first.”

Jayden helped her up. Victoria knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay. What Jayden said made sense - they could come here to visit the kids when Matthew was away, or they could take the kids back to their own house.

Thomas trotted ahead to open the door for them.

Coral sat on the sofa, staring at Jessica. “You shouldn’t have hidden it. You should have told the truth. Although you are quite unhappy, you shouldn’t have hidden it for such a long time for the sake of the children,” Coral complained.

Jessica looked down. If she had known it earlier, she would have told them the truth.

She also expected that the children would have a father.

However, Dolores said that man was a local that night. It had been a long time and nobody had mentioned it. Nobody had connected Matthew with the kids.

Jessica didn’t explain it to Coral. After all, it was her daughter’s privacy.

She couldn’t expose it.

If Coral misunderstood, it was alright.

Coral could tell that Jessica’s mood was quite down as well. Hence, she didn’t continue.

The breeze blew and the moonlight was obscure.

Samuel was sitting in the car quietly. Looking out of the window and seeing the landscape passing fast, occasionally, he closed his sister’s collar. He comforted her, “We’ll see Mommy pretty soon.”

Matthew noticed Samuel’s action from the rear-view mirror, his Adam’s apple bobbing, feeling a stream of heat going through his throat.

No matter how smart Samuel was, he was just five. He was so sensible and good at taking care of his sister. His sensibility made Matthew’s heart ached.

He still remembered this little guy despite getting to the danger just for revenging for Dolores. Even until now, the wound on his head was still not recovered.

This boy...

No word could describe how Matthew was feeling now.

He was always mature and steady, but now he was in a panic.

Soon the car had arrived at LEO Corporation. The door of the store was closed. There was no light in it. Dolores wasn’t there. Matthew looked down to check the time - it had been two hours after Dolores said she would come here. Now she was not in the store. Where had she gone?

He pulled out and dialed Dolores’ number, but he got the same reply: “I’m sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. Please try later...”

He frowned deeply. Carefully thinking of Dolores’ behaviors back then, he could tell that she was quite different from the usual.

In the daytime today, she hid from the crowd and cried in secret.

He wondered what on earth had happened.

The more he thought about it, the worse his hunch became.

He looked through Abbott’s phone number. Shortly, he stopped. Then he dialed Boyce’s phone number. Beulah suddenly appeared today and Dolores was missing now, seemingly they were connected.

Boyce was in charge of Beulah’s matter. Hence, it would be more convenient for him to find out if Dolores’ disappearance had something to do with it.

Soon the call was connected. “Where are you now?” Matthew asked.

Boyce was taken aback. He was surprised because of Matthew’s attitude because Matthew sounded quite anxious. Boyce could feel it even he was on the other end of the line.

Hence, he was not used to it.

Looking back at the forensic doctor doing an autopsy, he said, “I’m still in the mortuary, investigating the cause of Beulah Shawn’s death.”

Matthew hung up the phone. When he was ready to go there, he realized that he still had two kids in the backseat.

He couldn’t take them to such kind of place.

“Where is my Mommy?” Samuel blinked. The door of the store was tightly closed, and their Mommy wasn’t seen at all.

Matthew didn’t know how to explain. “I’ll drive you guys home first. Then I’ll go look for your Mommy. All right?”

Samuel frowned, looking much alike Matthew when he frowned just now. He asked again, “Where is my mommy?”

She was a grownup and couldn’t be missing. He wondered if something dangerous happened to her.

At the thought of it, Samuel inhaled deeply. “Is my mommy missing? You can’t find her either, can you?”

The boy was way too sensitive. Matthew couldn’t hide anything from him at all.

He looked at Samuel. “I’ll find her for sure.”

Samuel clenched his small hands into fists, his eyes reddened. “Maybe you don’t like my mommy. But, for the sake that Mommy has given birth to us, you must find her and guarantee her safety. Perhaps you don’t want to recognize my sister and me, but your blood was also on us. For the sake of this connection between us, please make sure to find my mommy.”

Matthew looked away, his hand supporting his forehead. Most of his face was hidden under the shadow. He said in an extremely hoarse tone, “Why do you think I dislike your mommy and don’t want to recognize you guys?”

“If you like Mommy and love her, you wouldn’t have divorced her.” As he spoke, Samuel lowered his head and looked at the tip of his toe. “No other man has appeared around my mommy. Just now, after you read the test result, you didn’t believe that we are your children. You’ve hurt us as well as Mommy.”
