Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

He knew all too well the type of woman Dolores was!

At the thought of the documents ruined stained by the coffee, he headed to his study to bring them back to the company. He had to make sure a new copy was printed out for him.

The moment he entered the study, he knew immediately that someone had been there.

Besides Coral and Abbott, there shouldn’t be anyone else who was allowed in the room. Even Helen had never been there before. Who was that intruder? Had Dolores secretly snuck into his study?

Matthew marched over to his desk and noticed a stack of handwritten documents on the surface. It seemed like translated text. He picked up the stack and studied the words carefully. The words were very orderly and stylish. With a frown, he thought of the possibility that it was written by Dolores.

Did she know how to read the language from A Country ? Matthew found it hard to believe.

As he was setting the papers back on the desk so he could look for Dolores to find out what happened, a short memo fell out of the document.

There was a short paragraph on it:

“I’m sorry I entered your study without your permission. The reason your documents were destroyed was because of my carelessness. Therefore, I tried, to the best of my abilities, to recover your document. Although I’m not a master at the language of A Country , I managed to translate it into English so you can understand it. Please accept this as my apology for spilling the coffee.”

Dolores was the one who had written them.

Matthew gripped the memo so hard it shook and reread it a few more times. The memo was handwritten, too. His anger at her for intruding into his study had somewhat dissipated.

He stared at the tidy words and gained a sudden and intense curiosity about Dolores. Somehow, she knew such a rare language.

Matthew placed the memo on the desk and fetched to documents. He grabbed the rest of his things and left for the office.

When Dolores woke up, it was already noon. She was a little embarrassed at herself for waking up this late.

Coral had prepared some food for her and placed it on the table, smiling gently. “I’ve been the only one here for so long. The young master is never one to sleep past the early mornings. Ever since you moved in, this place feels a little livelier.”

Dolores gave Coral a smile in return. “Didn’t Ms. White often come here in the past?”
