Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Dolores’ heart clenched as she wondered if he really did bring the divorce papers with him. She asked in a low voice, “What’s this?”

Armand pulled out a luggage bag from the back of the car, walked towards her and said, “These are all Theresa’s things.”

Dolores, looking at the bag in his hand, did not immediately take it as she asked, “What’s this all about…”

“Wherever she chooses to live, be it here or back to City C, anywhere would be better than living with me. If she had really thought it through, if she really wants to…Divorce, I’ll not have qualms with her.” Armand said while looking down, concealing his emotions and added, “Thank you.”

Dolores replied, “I see. That’s not exactly a bad thing. You two should think about it long and hard after you’ve calmed down. Though Mrs. Bernie is indeed a problem and both of you won’t be happy anyway if it is handled poorly.”

“I understand. She’s the one who raised me, I can’t just ignore her. Theresa…I’m very indebted to her…” He could not even begin to pay off his debt.

Dolores knew that Armand was feeling down. She did not reply as she carried the luggage back into the house.

“Theresa,” Dolores called to her softly.

She turned around slowly as Dolores smiled and said, “What are you thinking about?”
