Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 23: I Underestimated You

Dolores stood at the doorway and stared at Helen.

Helen, growing uneasy under her glare, looked at Dolores’ cell phone but couldn’t see anything from t distance. She also couldn’t do anything in front of Matthew.

So, she calmly asked. “Why is Ms. Flores looking at me that way?”

Helen’s words dragged out Dolores’ thoughts, and Dolores struggled with the urge to confront Helen in front of Matthew for several moments before she calmed down. Helen was the woman who Matthew loved. Even if Dolores did anything, Matthew wouldn’t punish the woman he loved for a contract wife like her.

Dolores gripped her cell phone tightly and composed herself.

She smiled at Helen. “Ms. White’s beauty stunned me. Please don’t take offense, Ms. White.”

Dolores walked toward them and her gaze shifting to the documents on the coffee table. She picked up the documents and saw it was the contract for Repulse Bay. She looked up at Matthew in bewilderment.

“Is this for me?”

Matthew, who had maintained his indifference throughout the situation, nodded calmly.

Helen’s eyes glared widely. The land contract, it really was for Dolores? Why? Helen didn’t understand.

Dolores looked toward Helen, suppressed her fury, and laughed coldly. “Ms. White, I’m Mr. Nelson’s wife. Is there an issue with him giving me something?”
