Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

“I’m truly sleepy,” she emphasized with a heavy tone.

Matthew was silent.

He held her tightly, his muscled chest clinging to her back. “I won’t do anything to you. Let’s sleep.”

...

At past six in the morning, the sun rose gradually from the east.

“Hmm--”

Dolores turned around, reaching out. She failed to touch a warm body. Gradually, she opened her eyes. Since she just woke up, she hadn’t adjusted herself to the sunshine yet and raised her hand to block it. There was no one beside her. His temperature also faded away. He should have left a long time ago.

She frowned. Matthew came back so late and went out so early today. She wondered if he had a good rest.

She sat up, grabbed her phone, and wanted to call him. When she found his caller ID, she didn’t tab to dial. She believed that he must be quite busy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so early. If she called him now, it might not be a good time.

Putting down the cell phone, she lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and went to the bathroom to tidy herself up. When she was squeezing the toothpaste, she heard the cell phone ringing on the bed. While brushing her teeth, she walked over t pick them up and saw a call from Boyce. She took out the toothbrush and swiped to answer the phone. From the other end of the line, she heard Boyce’s voice, “Morning, Dolores. Have you watched the news?”

“What news?”

“Hurry up to find the news today.”

Dolores felt quite confused. She started searching the morning news of City B on her phone. The headline on the top was about a murder in a bar. The police announced their investigation result -- a prisoner broke into the jail and was shot by the police. The video clip spread was edited by someone with an evil purpose, which was not true.

The police of City B had posted the whole investigation procedure on the micro-blog platform. They also warned the netizens about the public opinions of this case and told them not to believe or spread rumors, to contribute to social security.

This news was spread everywhere online in the morning. Dolores looked down, wondering if it was because of this matter that Matthew came back so late and went out so early.

“Dolores, seen it?” Boyce asked her again.

Dolores put the cell phone back to her ear and answered, “Yep.”

“The good show has just begun. The manipulator behind it wouldn’t escape, either.”
