Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 868

Dolores, who was lying on the bed, talked in her sleep suddenly. Her voice was too small and Matthew could not hear it clearly. He put his ear near her lips and he could hear it this time. She was calling his name.

Matthew held her hand and whispered, “I’m here.”

Dolores could not hear it and she called out again, “Matthew---”

Matthew lay on the edge of the bed and hugged her. The hug was very familiar. They shared a bed every night and they had become very familiar with each other.

It was his scent and she knew it. She moved closer to Matthew in a daze, “Matthew, don’t be sad. I’ll stay with you.”

She did not open her eyes, as if she was talking in her sleep.

Matthew opened his eyes. His thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then he closed them finally. He only slept for a while and then woke up.

He was very tired these past few days. He was not able to sleep even for a short while as Joshua was missing.

The sky outside was still dark. He helped Dolores to tuck in the quilt and then touched her forehead. The fever seemed to have gone down. It was not hot anymore. However, he could not stay with her now as he had to go and find Joshua.

He looked at her affectionately, got up, walked out gently and closed the door.

He went to Armand’s room after he went downstairs. He asked him to not let Dolores go back today.

Armand felt that something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”

He sat up from the bed.

The lights were not switched on in the room. Matthew stood at the doorway, “Joshua is missing.”

“What?!” Armand shouted subconsciously.

“Lower your volume.” Matthew did not explain much, “Help me to keep an eye on this place.”

Armand nodded, “Don’t worry about it.”

Matthew said yes and left.

At about nine o’clock, he received a message from Boyce. He saw Benjamin and the woman coming out of the house and getting into a car.

He asked Matthew if he wanted to arrest them.

Matthew asked him to continue following them and not to be discovered.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to find Joshua first.

Boyce had been busy. He had not been idle. He was investigating the origins of the woman by Benjamin’s side.

Everything happened for a reason. There were always clues. Furthermore, she was a woman who liked to keep a high profile.

It just took him little time to find out everything about the woman. She was a bar girl. She was a mistress of many rich men before she stayed together with Benjamin. Benjamin was her latest sugar daddy. She was very good at dealing with men and had gotten a lot of money from previous sugar daddies.

She was well-known in her circles for her skill in dealing with men and the amount of money she had gotten from them.

This time, her friends envied her when she got Benjamin as her sugar daddy. Although he was old, he was rich. She might be able to get a lot of heritage if he died one day. It was known that Benjamin was sterile, just that no one discussed it openly.

Her friends were thinking that after he died, she would be rich and she could find a young man.

“Is that idiot crazy?” Abbott disdained, thinking in his mind, ‘He has found an experienced lady but he was incited to do something stupid by the lady, does he want to die?’

‘He can enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but now he puts himself in danger. It’s true that women are devils, for example, Emma disappeared after putting him into trouble.’
