Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 2: She Was Pregnant

“Lola, marriage shouldn’t be taken lightly. I forbid you from marrying him,” Jessica said, knowing full well the reason Dolores agreed to marry Matthew.

Dolores placed the bag of food on the table beside the bed, pulling some out and handing it to her mom.

“At least I didn’t marry any stranger. It’s your friend’s son.”

“She passed away a long time ago. I know nothing about her son. Even if it means breaking my promise, I’d rather you marry someone you fancy. Please don’t use this marriage as a bargaining chip. I’d rather stay here for the rest of my life.”

Someone she fancied? Even if she met someone in the future, she no longer had the right to do so. She lowered her head. It didn’t matter who she married. What was important was taking back everything her father had stolen from them.

Jessica wasn’t able to convince Dolores to change her mind and both of them returned to their home country the next day. Both of them disgusted Randolph and refused to let them step into the Flores' house. Instead, he took them to a rented house nearby and Dolores needed only to return to the house on the wedding day. Dolores didn’t want to return home anyway, not wanting her mother to have to face the woman that ruined her marriage and her life. It was better to stay away from the house for the sake of mental and emotional well-being.

Jessica still worried, however. “Lola, if this was a good marriage, they wouldn’t have given this chance to you, even though Mrs. Nelson and I were friends—”

Dolores didn’t want to talk about it anymore and cut her mother off. “Mom, come have something to eat.”

Jessica sighed. It was obvious Dolores refused to talk about it. She lived a hard life with Jessica and now she even had to sacrifice her marriage for the family.

Dolores held the fork in her hand but only pushed her food around her plate as her contempt for her father ruined her appetite.

“Are you okay?” Jessica asked, concerned for her daughter’s health.
