Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Matthew moved his face closer to Dolores’. “If you dare disrespect me like that in the future, I…” He glanced at her lips, leaned down, and bit them.

She felt a sudden pain. The taste of blood spread in her mouth. She grimaced. It hurt, it burned. Matthew really bit her.

“In the future, every time you wrong me, I’ll do this as my way of punishing you. Does that sound fair?”

Dolores felt disoriented as she gazed at the man in front of her. She couldn’t understand the reasoning for behaviors.

“Do you understand what you’re doing right now?”

Speechless, Matthew didn’t know how to answer her question. Every moment that happened after he met Dolores was so unexpected that he lost control of himself and became a different man from who he was in the past.

He realized Dolores wasn’t virtuous, as she was impure, and didn’t respect herself.

However, the fact that he was interested in such an immoral woman, and felt like a real man—a man who had the normal, physical reaction a man should have when facing a woman—was confusing. He hid his emotions well as he stared down at Dolores.

He smiled faintly and asked, “What about you? You rushed forward to protect me from the sword without worrying about your own life. Does that mean…”

As Matthew spoke, his face moved even closer to hers. When Dolores took a step back, he would take a step himself and follow her. They were very close to each other. The smile on his face was slight, soft, gentle, and could hardly be ignored.

“Have you fallen in love with me?”

Was that why she rushed forward without concern for her and her child’s safety when Matthew was in danger?

Matthew remembered how shocked he was when he turned around and saw her rushing over.

Dolores turned away and refused to look at him. “Mr. Nelson, you have quite the sense of humor. I’ve only known you for a few days. How could I fall in love with you so quickly?”

If she didn’t suspect he was the father of her child, she certainly wouldn’t have put herself in such a dangerous situation. She cherished her own life as she had to survive for the sake of her mother and her child.

Matthew didn’t anger. Instead, turning away and leaning back on the sofa, smiling. “Perhaps, you fell in love with me when we first met? Love at first sight. That happens, right?”

He was apparently speaking to Dolores, but it sounded like he was asking a rhetorical question.
