Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Jessica stopped washing the vegetables on her hand, seemingly not expecting her daughter to ask this question out of the blue, “Why do you want to know?”

Dolores lowered her head, “I just want to know, after all, when you planned the marriage with him, I was only two years old, why would you…”

“The past stays in the past, can’t remember them anyways.” Jessica didn’t want to talk about the past; she put the washed vegetables on the shelf and looked at her daughter. Her keen sense told her that Dolores was acting abnormally, “Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Dolores could tell that Jessica didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t press it but instead took the chance to test her, “Mrs. William wants to start a branch, she wants me to be in charge of it...“

“That’s good news.” Jessica answered.

She pushed her daughter away, “Let me cut the vegetables.”

Dolores stepped back and leaned against the stove, and thought for a bit while, “But the address of the branch is in China...“

“What?”

Dolores hadn’t had the chance to finish her sentence; Jessica had already interrupted her. She also knew that LEO had a rule: they will never have any branch in any other country.

Mrs. William now wanted to have a branch in China?

Jessica frowned. Weird kinds of stuff were happening one after another recently. She put down the kitchen knife and wiped her hands on the apron, tugging her daughter’s arm, “Tell me the truth, are these stuff related to him?”

Dolores figured that Jessica would have to know if she was going back to the country anyway.

Dolores admitted, “Yea…”

“What are you thinking?!” Jessica glared at her angrily. How could she forget her sufferings so fast?

“Tell me, what condition were you in at that time? Where was he when you were in the most difficult situation? If it wasn’t for Sampson Herbert, how would you still be here? How can you not tell the difference between good and bad?”

Dolores twisted her head. Indeed she was reluctant to return to the country, partly because of what happened in the past, and partly because of Matthew Nelson.

She knew it was a trade, but when he proposed a divorce, she was somehow sad.

After the car crash, she became even more exhausted, both physically and mentally.
