Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 203

“You are…”

“Mr. Golden, we are here to learn the method of making tea silk,” Charles spoke first and explained their purpose of visit.

The old looked at the people standing at the entrance. He narrowed his eyes, his wrinkles could be seen. His eyes were deep, he entered the house, “Let’s get in.”

The living room of the wooden house was small, it could not occupy all of the people. The security guards did not enter while they stood outside.

Even then, the house was crowded after they entered.

The design of the house was simple, it was Chinese style, there were eight chairs in the living room. A few drawings were hung on the wall on both sides. There was a newly created rubbish bin made of bamboo. They did not match each other and looked messy. A table was placed in the middle. The old sat on his seat.

He took a cigarette and ignited it, “Who wants to learn it from me?”

Dolores held Samuel’s hand and walked forwards, she said sincerely, “I want to learn the method of making tea silk from you. If you are willing to do so, please be the master of my business. The salary is up to you.”

He smoked vigorously and the white smoke was emitted. The special smell of the cigarette lingered in the small space. The smoke was different from the smell of those cigarettes found in the market. Instead, it was a faint herbal smell.

Matthew frowned slightly. If it were not because of Dolores, he would not come to this kind of place ever.

The old sized up Dolores under the white smoke. Finally, his sight rested on the jade bracelet on her wrist. Then, he glanced at Charles. Charles nodded at him.

He stopped looking at her, “I can teach you but I will not leave here.”

Their interaction was secretive. Although Matthew seemed to not concern about the issue, he noticed it clearly.

He curved his lips slightly.

He wanted to know why Charles coaxed Dolores to come here.

He stayed still.

He seemed like an outsider that never took part in that.

“Can,” Dolores agreed.

“It is painstaking to learn the skill, are you willing to do so?” The old asked.

“Lola, or else let me learn it?” Theresa walked forwards, “You have to take care of the children and take charge of the business. Just let me learn it, is it ok?” She realized that she had said something wrongly and explained, “I don’t mean to learn the skill for myself selfishly…”

“I know.”

Dolores trusted her, she never suspected her intention.

The old ignored Theresa and said clearly, “I will only teach her.”

The living room became silent abruptly.

“So, you only accept one apprentice?” Armand thought that it was interesting. Why such kind of person existed in this era? It was not in the past which the Kungfu skill would only be passed to one apprentice. He was just a master who excelled in making silk, why did he pick the apprentice he wanted?

Furthermore, he only selected Dolores. Did he know that Dolores was talented?

The old was calm, he did not bother Armand. He just looked at Dolores, “If you want to learn it, you should make me your master. Then, I will teach you how to make the silk.”

Dolores did not mind making him her master but why did he only select her?

She was surprised.

But she felt uneasy. So, she did not answer him immediately.

“I don’t know why do you select her as your apprentice. May I know why?” A deep voice was heard in the living room. He did not look at anyone, he was playing with his daughter. It seemed like he only got attracted by her daughter and nothing else.

The old looked at him. The light beam from outside shone in, there were dust seen in lines. He narrowed his eyes slightly. The old’s hand which held the cigarette pouch chattered when he saw the handsome face under the light, he said calmly, “She is talented.”

“Really?” Matthew looked up and he met the old’s suffering sight. The old did not expect that Matthew would concern about it suddenly.

He distracted their attention by coughing.

“You all seem not to trust me. I don’t like to teach people who are insincere, you all can leave now,” The old stood up after saying that, he pushed the door and walked into the house.

“Wait,” Dolores called him. She thought that the person who excelled in the ancient skill would have a bad temper.
