Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 309 I was Cold-hearted

The smile on Matthew Nelson’s face was gradually disappearing, leaving only a cold expression.

Victoria Forbis was serving the cooked dumplings, she coincidentally saw what had happened in the

dining room just now, the smile on Matthew’s face was disappearing.

She felt very sad, but she didn’t dare to express it. She pretended as if nothing had happened, she

smiled and said, “The dumplings are done, do you guys want to have some?”

Matthew cast a glance, all of the dumplings inside were looking nice, so that meant all of them were

made by Victoria. He pretended that he didn’t listen of her, he pulled the chair and sat down holding her

daughter in his arms.

Victoria stood there, she didn’t know what she needed to do next.

The two children enjoyed making the dumplings so much, but about eating, they were not hasty.

When Dolores Flores just wanted to say that she wanted to eat, Jayden Nelson walked towards them,

pulled the chair and sat on the seat of honour, then he said, “Give me.”

Victoria lowered her eyes and served the dumplings.

“Dumplings shall be eaten together with vinegar, I’ll go get some for you.” Samuel Flores slid down the

chair and said, “I’ll go get some for grandpa.”

Jayden Nelson looked amiable, his eyes were filled with gratification when he smiled. Since he married

Victoria, his relationship with Matthew was not good, but he didn’t think of his grandson for being so

considerate.

Samuel laughed, “Grandpa shall give me a big red packet during Chinese New Year.”

For the past Chinese New Year, Dolores Flores and Jessica Lennon were always the people who

would give him red packets, he didn’t care of the amount of money inside, but he enjoyed the

happiness of receiving red packet.

Happiness was important during Chinese New Year.

Jayden Nelson laughed out loud, “Alright, I will give you a big one.”

The brother was going to get a big red packet, Simona Flores was not willing to be outdone too, she

shouted, “I want a big red packet too.”

“Alright, both of you will get it, how come I will leave out Simona?” Jayden stretched out his hand and

rubbed her head, “Come here, grandpa feed you the dumplings, let’s have a taste on them.”

The little girl was a little foodie, she was attracted when she heard of eating. She stretched her hands

to let Jayden hold her in his arms, Jayden then held his granddaughter onto his legs and placed the

dumplings onto the plate, “The dumplings are hot, let’s chill them down first before eating.”

The little girl smiled and nodded in his arms.

With the help from the busy servant in kitchen, Samuel got them a small plate of vinegar, as well as the

minced garlic and coriander that had been prepared by the servant.

Matthew sat alone there, as if he was the outsider and the happiness here was not related to him.

Maybe because he felt so bored, he stood up and was going to leave.

This was a good chance to build the relationship among the family members, Dolores called and

stopped him, “You help me to make the dumplings.”

“I don’t know,” He said.

Dolores smiled while talking, “I’ll teach you.”

Matthew’s eyes fell on the dumplings made by her, he frowned unpleasantly. Even she herself was

making them look so ugly, how dare she wanted to teach him?

Dolores seemed to notice the objection in his eyes, she purposely said, “Mother can make nice-looking

dumplings, should I let mother teach you?”

Victoria was standing beside and she suddenly felt anxious, she was looking forward to, but at the

same time she was scared to be rejected by Matthew.

However, she was mostly awaiting for a miracle to happen, what if he agreed with it?

She lowered her head and was looking forward with full of joy.

“I’m not interested.” Matthew rejected directly.

Victoria felt so down in a moment, he was still not willing to accept her.

Jayden didn’t raise his head, he seemed to be talking to the two children, but also seemed to be talking

to Matthew, “Do you guys like grandma?”

“Sure,” The two children said smilingly.

Jayden tousled Simona’s hair and his words were freighted with meaning, “Yes, don’t regret only after

losing someone.”

The little girl didn’t understand about the meaning of this sentence, her big eyes blinked, “Last time

when I met grandma, there was an old master who had given my brother and I some gifts.”

Matthew looked up, when was the last time they met?

He narrowed his eyes, Dolores was still in contact secretly with Victoria as he expected.

Dolores glanced at her daughter, but she didn’t say anything. She was not as mature as Samuel, it was

too late to take back the words. Based on Matthew’s keen observation, perhaps he had already noticed

it.

Victoria was a bit panicked, she was worried of causing a quarrel between Matthew and Dolores due to

this thing, so she purposely touched Dolores’s hand, “It’s almost done, you can stop and go for a rest

first, we’ll dine later.”

Dolores was clear about Victoria’s meaning, she looked at Matthew and said, “I’ll finish these first.”

Victoria sighed because she seemed to make everyone unhappy again.

The little girl was not aware that she had made a trouble, she enjoyed eating the dumplings, “I still want

some vinegar with my dumplings.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Little greedy cat.” Jayden touched her little nose, laughed pamperedly and dipped the dumpling into

the vinegar, “I’m helping Simona’s dumpling to get some vinegar.”

The little girl laughed happily.

She ate the dumplings.

Matthew left quietly and went back to his room alone.

Victoria took away the dumpling from Dolores’s hand, “You should go to have a look at him.”

Dolores pressed her lips together, “He was having anxiety.”

There was no medicine for this.

To be honest, she could understand his feeling. If it was her, without knowing the deep facts inside, she

couldn’t accept too if her father married a new woman just within one month of her mother’s death.

“I’ll go to have a look.” She washed her hands, took out the apron and went upstairs.

Knowing that they were back, Victoria had tidied up the room upstairs for them to stay, and she would

stay downstairs with Jayden.

Matthew stood in front of the window with his hands behind, the window was opened and the cold wind

was blowing. Dolores closed the door and walked near him, then she closed the window.

“Aren’t you cold?”

“I’m cold-hearted.” Matthew didn’t move. His spouse wasn’t by his side, how could he feel not cold-

hearted?

Dolores kept silent for a while, “Are you angry with me?”

“Why am I angry?” He asked back.

“Because of the relationship between Victoria and I, you’re not comfortable with it, so you’re angry.

From the beginning when I forced you to come, you’re not happy already right?”

Dolores said directly.

Matthew looked at her silently, didn’t she know the relationship between Victoria and him?

Why would she do that?

Dolores gave him a hug and stayed in his arms, “I know that you have a knot in your heart, but the past

is the past, can we just forget it?”

Matthew didn’t move, he didn’t hug her, could the past be forgotten so easily?

No, it couldn’t.

Jolene Harris’s legs didn’t recover, he heard that it was because of an accident that had occurred not

long after his birth, and Jolene’s legs were injured in order to save him. At the age of five, he

accidentally spilled a bowl of hot soup when he was eating, and Jolene had burnt her hand to protect

him. The scar on the back of her hand were still there, it couldn’t be cured even after using the best

scar gel.

He always kept in mind.

If he was going to accept Victoria, how would Jolene feel in her grave?

“I can’t do it,” he said directly and resolutely.

Dolores frowned, “You can’t forget it, then do you want to remember this forever and continue to

maintain this kind of bad relationship with them?”

“So what?”

To let him accept Victoria was impossible.

Dolores still wanted to persuade him, but suddenly someone knocked the door.
