Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Matthew nodded to himself. His jaw was inexplicably tight at that moment, which showed how nervous he was.

Then he spoke in a low voice. “Well, spit out.”

“Eight years ago, Randolph Flores and his wife, Jessica, got divorced. Randolph immediately sent Jessica and their daughter, Dolores, to A Country . They haven’t been back in the past eight years. Randolph only brought them back here not too long ago.”

Matthew frowned. He was wondering, was this the reason she could speak A country language? Because she lived there for eight years?

“That’s it?” Matthew wanted more information.

Abbott paused for a few seconds and then continued, “After he sent Jessica to A country , she gave birth to a boy with autism. The boy lived a tough life and died in a car accident before Jessica and Dolores returned.”

Matthew frowned. His expression grew more serious. He couldn’t help but assume that the reason Dolores was so sad was because of her brother? Then what happened with the child in her belly?

Matthew asked, “That’s it? No man has ever been close to her?”

“No... The only man close to her was a psychologist,” Abbott said, carefully checking the information sent from the investigator from A Country .

Abbott continued. “That’s it. She didn’t date anyone at school, and no other men were close to her.”

Matthew stood in silence, thinking. In other words, the child’s father might be the psychologist. And the reason Randolph took her back was only because of their marriage? The reason she cared a lot about money was that she lived a hard life in A Country , which was also why she charged money for translating

Thinking about it that way, Matthew felt that he finally understood Dolores. He also understood what Sampson meant. Matthew felt complicated. He looked back, then got in the car and left the hospital.

At the hospital, Dolores was hungry because she didn’t eat lunch.

“Mom, I want some cookies.,” Dolores said, suddenly wanting to eat sweets.

Jessica had been through the same thing with her children. She knew that when a woman was pregnant, she would have cravings for the most random things.

She could not help but think about a saying about how a woman who prefers sour usually has a boy, and a woman who prefers spicy usually has a girl. Jessica wondered if Dolores was going to have a boy or a girl.

“I’ll go back and make some for you.”

Jessica got up paused when she realized no one would take care of Dolores in her absence.

Dolores understood what Jessica was thinking.
