Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

He curled up his lips into an ironic smile. “It’s quite hot, isn’t it?”

Dolores followed his gaze and looked down at her dress. Then she found that the lifted hemline of her dress for the sake of driving hadn’t been pulled down.

She was about to explain, but Matthew pulled the door of his car open. He fetched his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders. “Get in the car.”

She wondered when he took off the jacket as seemingly she could still feel his temperature on it. The jacket also emanated his unique scent, which smelt cold and nice. She liked it.

Dolores bent over and get in the car. She recalled that Terry had been to her store. Then she asked casually, “Terry said you asked him to delay the cassation, didn’t you?”

Matthew cast a glance at her. “Did he come to you?”

Dolores knocked honestly. “Yes, he did.”

“It’s not good timing now.” After all, Sampson was just put into jail. If they disclosed that Maria was relevant to a homicide case, they would completely become the enemy of the Herbert family.

It wasn’t because that Matthew was afraid of the Herbert family. Just they had their own rules in this circle.

However, Matthew had sensed that Landon was quite unhappy with him last time. He wondered what evil things Landon would do behind him next.

“No worries. It wouldn’t end up with anything definite. It’s just not the time yet.”

Dolores was relieved. Although this matter was relevant to her, it was not so important as to Terry. After all, his older brother was dead in this incident, who didn’t deserve death even if he had made a mistake.

Matthew held her hand in his palm.

His wide and thick palm seemed to have a magic that could comfort her. Dolores gradually calmed down.

“When the time comes, you don’t need to show up in person.” Matthew had planned that he would ask Terry to go to the court by himself.

One of the Herbert family’s sons had been sent to jail already. If their daughter went in, it would be a slap on their faces.

They wouldn’t be able to suppress the anger. Whoever would be a person in charge would become the revenge target for the Herbert family.

He couldn’t bear to make Dolores the target.

“Okay.” Dolores didn’t overthink that much as he did. After all, Maria and she had already become enemies long ago.

She felt a bit tired, leaning against the back of the chair and closing her eyes.

Silence gradually blanketed the compartment. They didn’t chat any longer, lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Dolores seemed to recall something. She turned to look at Matthew. “How’s Beulah Shawn? Have you found anything? Why did she appear so suddenly? Was she directed by someone?”

Matthew looked away with his sparkling eyes. He said flatly, “It’s still under the investigation.”

For Beulah’s death, he didn’t want to disclose it, so she wouldn’t overthink.

He would look into the cause of her death and who was behind this.
