Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

The man Matthew had seen hugging Dolores the other day was the one in front of him. Who else could be the father of Dolores’s baby other than him?

Sampson felt so bad for Dolores and couldn’t help thinking that if she sought him out on the day of the car accident, she wouldn’t be in so much now.

Seeing Sampson’s expression, Matthew thought Sampson was admiting his guilt with his silence.

Matthew sneered, “She’s very young...”

“What do you know!” Sampson shouted suddenly.

His eyes were a little red. He knew what Matthew wanted to say. Matthew must think Dolores was a slut, because she got pregnant at such a young age. But Matthew did not know what Dolores had been through.

Sampson glanced at Matthew’s suit, one that was extremely expensive. Sampson couldn’t help thinking that suit would pay an ordinary worker’s salary for a year.

“You’re from a powerful, rich family. Have you ever suffer from poverty? Do you even know what it feels like to have no money, no food? Have you ever felt overwhelming helplessness? You don’t know! You don’t know what she’s done to survive till now…”

Dolores grabbed Sampson’s hand and shook her head to tell him to stop. She didn’t need sympathy or pity from anyone. She just wanted to survive and take good care of her mom and her baby.

“Take me to the hospital.” Dolores couldn’t bear the pain anymore.

“OK.” Sampson bent over and held her in his arms.

Seeing that he was still taken aback by what Sampson said, Dolores felt uncomfortable. She spoke as if she was also surprised by what Sampson said.

“Sorry, I can’t stop working. But I can assure you I will tell no one about it. I won’t do anything to bring shame to you or your family.”

Matthew frowned. Then he looked at Dolores’s face and didn’t know what to feel.

No one knew better than Sampson about Dolores’s situation. Dolores was in Sampson’s arms and her whole body shook while talking to Matthew.

Sampson carried her to the car and spoke gently. “Don’t be afraid. There’s no blood. You’ll be fine.”
