Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 24

Matthew wasn’t able to dodge and Dolores fell directly into him.

Her forehead impacted painfully onto his chin. And her lips pressed onto something stiff protruding from his body. The feeling was familiar yet distant.

Dolores was stunned for a moment and quickly got up when she came to her senses. Then she realized that her lips touched his Adam’s apple… She held onto her forehead in pain and her face was burning hot due to her blushing.

Matthew was also dazed from the contact and slowly looked up at her, “If I’m a pervert, then who do you think you’re?”

Before Dolores could reply, he sat upright slowly and purposefully adjusted his collar and touched the position where Dolores had kissed. He laughed aloud, “We are husband and wife. You can tell me directly if you want to kiss me. I’m not so petty.”

Dolores was speechless. Who wanted to kiss him? It was an accident!

“I won’t want to kiss you!” Dolores whipped around her head and quickly left the living room.

Matthew sat on the sofa and was upset by what she said and replied sarcastically, “Then who do you want to kiss?”

He scoffed, “That man who impregnated you?”

The fear and shame were suddenly exposed with all their gore.

She didn’t want to talk about how she became pregnant. But the cold manner which Matthew said ripped her heart open painfully. She was shattered but she maintained a strong front, “Of course, I love the father of my child.”

Good, this woman was something!

“Ms. Flores, have you forgotten that you owe me something?” Matthew stood up and brushed his dustless shirt, slowly raised his head, and looked at the petrified Dolores, “I need a translator. Come to the office to work from tomorrow onwards.”

He had demand after she took the land contract. That was for the better as she would repay him for the land contract and wouldn’t owe him a favor.

“Okay.” She replied and then pushed open the door to go into the room.

Her face heated up when she thought about what had happened. She didn’t leave the room so that she wouldn’t have to face Matthew until Coral informed her that dinner was ready. Only then did she come out of the room.

Matthew was already at the dining room as Coral served the dishes. Dolores walked over and ate with her head lowered without looking around.

The atmosphere in the dining room became so tensed.

Coral couldn’t accept their behavior as they were husband and wife but why were they behaving like strangers. She brought over a plate of stir-fried broccoli and placed it in front of Dolores and said, “Master likes to eat this.”

Matthew’s palette preferred bland dishes and vegetables. Coral was very familiar with what he liked to eat because she had been taking care of him for a long time. Dolores was stupefied and didn’t understand what Coral meant. She was thinking since he liked to eat that dish, then Coral should have placed the dish in front of him.

Coral glared at her and signalled her to serve Matthew the vegetables. Dolores saw and realized what Coral meant. At this point, Coral’s eyes almost cramped.

Dolores had no choice but to serve Matthew some vegetables and placed them in his bowl. Matthew looked up and Dolores smiled. She couldn’t help it as Coral was pushing her. She was trying to patch them up.

Matthew slowly picked up the stir-fried broccoli and green chilli and waved it in front of his nose, “Coral knows best what I like to eat.”

Coral laughed, “Missus will understand in the future, she just came and is still learning.”

Coral changed the way she addressed Dolores. In the past, she would address her as Ms. Flores. Though she wasn’t happy about her not coming home for the night, she was someone who Madam Nelson picked for master. She naturally wished that their relationship strengthened so as not to disappoint the late madam.

Dolores choked when she heard Coral addressing her as the missus and lowered her head even more. She quickly finished her food and didn’t even drink any water, “I’m done, please enjoy your meal.” She went back to the room after she excused herself.

“What’s the matter with her?” Coral was caught off guard.

Matthew stared at her slim back and with a sinister grin, “She must not be used to Coral’s peacemaking.”

Coral sighed, “Wasn’t it all for you?” She turned to leave after she said.

Only Matthew remained in the spacious dining room. The light from the overhanging chandelier glittered and encompassed him. He picked up another broccoli and slowly chewed on it…

On the next day
