Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 836

Soon, Dolores heard the robotic voice from the other end of the line, “I’m sorry but the subscriber you dialled is power off...”

She looked over at Theresa with the phone in her hand, “Don’t worry. Probably his phone died.”

Theresa nodded. Reaching out, she wanted to carry the baby, “Let me hold him.”

Now the baby could look up. When Theresa held him, he looked around and his big round eyes kept rolling.

Theresa rubbed his head, “This little fellow’s hair is ink-black. He has so much hair.”

Dolores also thought that her son’s hair was quite good. When Andrew and Amanda were little, their hair didn’t look so good. It became better after they grew up gradually.

Right then, Dolores’s cell phone started vibrating. She pulled out the phone and saw Matthew’s caller ID. She swiped to answer.

Soon, she heard Matthew’s voice, “Come out.”

For a moment, Dolores didn’t get it, “What?”

“I’m at the gate.”

Since Abbott asked for a leave, Matthew had been quite busy. He always left home early and went back home late. Suddenly, he came back in the afternoon, which made Dolores shocked, “Why have you come back at this time.”

“Come out.”

Dolores was speechless.

“You can go out. I’ll take care of Joshua for you,” said Theresa with a smile.

Dolores said on the phone, “Okay. I got it.” After that, she hung it up and said to Theresa, “If you want to go out, please let my mom take care of him.”

“I know. Just go ahead,” said Theresa.

Dolores went upstairs and got a jacket before going out. A black car was parked on the roadside. She walked over, pulled the door open, and sat in, “You’ve already come back. Why didn’t you go in?”

Matthew turned to look at her carefully.

Under his gaze, Dolores felt quite uneasy, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m trying to find if you are unhappy.” Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called him so suddenly and said those words. He reached out to pull her hand, “Is it because I’m too busy recently and can’t accompany you, so you are bothered?”

Dolores patted him on his hand and said seriously, “Stop fooling around. I have something to tell you.”

“Ehn. Go ahead. I’m all my ears.” He gazed at her without a blink, which made Dolores feel that he wasn’t serious at all. She said more seriously, “I’m serious.”

Matthew said, “So am I.”

After thinking for a moment, Dolores said, “Will you go back to the company later?”

Matthew answered, “No, I won’t.”

“Let’s call Dad and have dinner with him outside tonight.”

“Why? Anything happened?” Looking at her solemn face, Matthew was certain that something had happened. Otherwise, she wouldn’t suddenly suggest it.

“Dad might be sick. He’s been hiding it from us,” said Dolores.

Matthew’s face became darkened. His eyes deepened, “How did you know it?”

If it were just a minor sickness, Dolores wouldn’t have called him on purpose and been so serious.

“When Coral was cleaning up his bedroom, she accidentally knocked over his medicine... I checked the medicine online and found it was for curing cancer,” Dolores said in a low voice.
