Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 21: Intentionally Seduce Him
When Dolores arrived at the hospital, Sampson was sitting in the corridor outside the patients’ rooms with his hands on his knees. He leaned forward slightly, deep in his thoughts. He didn’t even notice when Dolores walked up to him.
“What are you thinking about?”
Sampson raised his head and struggled to hold back his concern when he finally noticed Dolores. He looked towards the patients’ rooms. “Your mother is suffering from a severe anxiety attack and is hallucinating.”
Dolores had mentally prepared herself for the worst. “Thank you for taking care of her. Please go get some rest. I’ll look after her.”
Sampson glanced at her abdomen. “You also need to rest.”
“Please don’t worry about me, I’ll take good care of myself.” Dolores smiled calmly at him.
Sampson was silent for a moment, then nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”
“I will.”
Sampson stood up to leave. Dolores watched as Sampson walked away and chewed her lip. Although she’d known him for a rather long time, she knew little about his family. In that way, she felt like she knew nothing about him at all. He had to be worried about something big to be so deep in his thoughts.
At that moment, Sampson stopped, turned, and looked at Dolores. “I heard something from those women. Someone paid them to say those things and to splash paint on your door.”
Dolores nodded. “Thank you for telling me. And, Sampson, you can always talk to me if something is troubling you.” Dolores looked at him.
Sampson smiled, “I’m fine.”
Dolores didn’t pester him. She knew firsthand that everyone had something they didn’t want to share with others.
She didn’t go into her mother’s room immediately after Sampson left. She wondered who would want to pay the neighbors to do such things? Annabelle? Beulah? They didn’t know she was pregnant. So—
