Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

“Doesn’t that car belong to your family?” Boyce asked after he saw Matthew. He felt that something was amiss and was positive Matthew felt it too.

“Do you think... your father is here?” Boyce decided not to mention Victoria’s name, though he knew that this car belonged to her.

But he dared not mention Victoria’s name so causally.

“What do you think she wants? Matthew said suddenly.

For someone who never mentioned Victoria’s name, it was groundbreaking that he had done so today. The reason being, he suspected that Dolores might be meeting Victoria today. Victoria attended Dolores’s grand opening at her fashion boutique, she even gave her a bracelet as a gift and she is wearing it now.

It was very obvious that Dolores brought her children out today to meet up with her.

Matthew closed his eyes, why does Victoria want to get close to Dolores? What were her intentions?

“Do you think she is using Dolores to get close to you?? Boyce guessed, even though Dolores has been distant towards Matthew these couple of years. “Look, Ms. Flores has given birth to two children and they are yours, doesn’t matter if you love her or not, you have an obligation towards her, and your children; the children belong to the Nelson family. Inevitably, your father likes them a lot, Victoria clearly knows you don’t like her - why is she trying to get close to Ms. Flores and the children?”

To be honest Boyce’s evaluation of the situation made some sense, he knew that Dolores was an intelligent woman, it was not like her to let her meet the children without thinking about it.

Besides, Dolores’s attitude towards him had clearly changed, if the change was brought on by Victoria, that would be a scary thought. What did Victoria say or do to her to change her?

“Your stepmother is also very patient, it has been quite some time since she married your father, he wasn’t that old back then, but they didn’t give birth to anymore children, and to you…”

Matthew turned his head to look at him. Boyce wanted to say something but was speechless, he thought about saying using different words, “I heard a rumor that Stepmothers don’t care for her husband’s children from his previous marriages, some even abuse the children, and also when she married your father, she wasn’t old, they should’ve had children, but did not, she has never harmed you, the only thing she should repent for is marrying your father as soon as your mother passed away.”

never harmed him, Boyce’s evaluation was quite accurate, but he cannot accept it. If he accepts it, how will his deceased
