Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 314 Let Me See Whether Your Tummy is Bulging

These two kids had the surname of Flores?

Who did their surnames follow?

“What happened?” Jeffery’s tone was serious.

The children would follow the father’s surname. This tradition had already seeped into the bones.

Especially for the older generation, they take this very seriously.

At this moment, Dolores brought the soup over. Before she put it down, Jeffery was asking her, “The

kids follow your surname?”

He had heard a little about Matthew’s marriage. However, because Matthew was very rejecting of it at

that time, so he hadn’t told him about his situation with Dolores before. He was also very busy during

that period of time, so he wasn’t very clear about Dolores’ background and identity.

Dolores was taken aback for a moment and didn’t manage to react in time. Jeffery’s question came all

too sudden.

“This story is very long. If we had to pursue it, it’s because I did something wrong to them. Regarding

who their surnames follow, I personally think, they should follow her surname because she brought

them up.” Matthew could tell naturally that Jeffery cared a lot about it. He was even a little unhappy.

He took Dolores’ hand in front of Jeffery, and pulled her to sit next to him.

“When we divorced in the past, I didn’t know that she was pregnant, I only found out after that…” He

didn’t clarify the things that had happened in between. He wanted to just say that everything was his

fault, and now he won’t change the surname of the kids too.

If there has to be a child that follows his surname, then they will give birth to another child, since

Dolores had already agreed to it. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Regarding Matthew’s marriage and divorce, Jeffery knew a little about it. He knew that they had a

divorce soon after they got married.

Looking at the child’s age, it matched the facts.

“There’re three kinds of being unfilial, the biggest being not having offspring. Even though the blood in

Samuel is yours, but if he doesn’t follow your surname, how would his identity be like in the future?

Would he be a member of the Ernest or Flores family?” Jeffery still felt that the two children should

change their surnames.

Regardless of what excuse, it can’t change the fact that the child must follow the father’s surname.

Matthew tightened his grip on Dolores’ hand. His palm was rubbing the back of her hands, and Dolores

turned to look at him.

He didn’t look at her, he only showed her the side of his face. Looking at him from this angle, his

eyelashes were so clear.

His voice was very soft, but very serious, “We are a couple, there’s no me or her.”

Jeffery choked on his anger, “You…”

“How does your dad say?” This matter had to leave it to Jayden.

Jayden was clearer on the whole situation than Jeffery. Hence, he hadn’t said anything about the

children’s surname.

After all, it was Dolores who was bringing up the children alone all these years. In the future, if Dolores

was willing to change their surnames, he would naturally be very happy. But if she was unwilling, he

wouldn’t force her to.

“He is old and confused. He’s been charmed by that woman till he can’t differentiate black from white.”

Jeffery felt angry thinking about Jayden. He hadn’t forgotten that in the past he had married Victoria not

long after Jolene had passed away.

Dolores’ body stiffened, she knew clearly who was the woman Jeffery was talking about.

Matthew could feel the change in her body. He knew in his heart why she was feeling this way.

Was she already so close to Victoria?

She would even feel nervous when others talked about it?

“It’s been so many years since what happened in the past, I don’t want to talk much about it. I know

you are very reluctant to accept it, but there’s something that I have to let you know.” Jeffery’s face was

serious, “In the past, your father was able to marry her, only because he agreed to my one condition.

However, I realized that she might have broken her promise…”

“Let’s eat first, if there’s anything let’s talk about it after dinner. Why talk about the past out of

nowhere?” Marina placed the alcohol in front of him.

Jeffery thought about it. Since Matthew didn’t come by often, if he said it, they might not have the

appetite to eat anymore. He said to Marina, “I’ll listen to you, pour some alcohol for me.”

Marina smiled, filled the alcohol for him, and refilled Matthew’s glass.

“We’re happy today, drink a few glasses with your uncle.” Marina said smilingly.

Matthew raised his head.

Dolores who was sitting by the side looked a little absent-minded. What Jeffery hadn’t managed to

finish saying just now, Victoria must have already told her by calling her.

It has been so many years, why was he still so unwilling to let go?

What’s more, what happened was wholly directed by Jolene, but now Victoria had to take the blame for

it.

She felt that this was very unfair.

Victoria had sacrificed too much.

“If you are free, bring the kids over more often.” Marina filled up some soup for Dolores. The men were

drinking alcohol, and they don’t drink, so they’ll start eating first. “I don’t know what you like to eat, I’m

not sure whether the dishes cater to your tastebuds.”

Marina’s voice broke off Dolores’ thoughts, she quickly came back to her senses, and said smilingly,

“I’m not a picky-eater, this is very good for me.”

“Then don’t be polite, make yourself at home.”

“Alright.”

Marina was very caring, helping the kids fill their plates.

Jeffery didn’t bring up Victoria during dinner. He and Matthew chatted about current situations, about

politics, and the development within and outside the country.

“We don’t understand what they are talking about either.” Marina filled Dolores’ plate, “Let them talk

about their own things, let’s eat.”

Dolores smiled, and replied politely. But in her heart, she was feeling very restless, she didn’t know

how Matthew would react if he knew that the cloud yarn belonged to the Forbis family.

Because he was very clear that she had already mastered the techniques of making cloud yarn.

With his intellect, he would definitely relate it to what happened in White City.

She was afraid that this matter could not be hidden anymore.

She felt at odds within herself. On one hand she wanted to let Matthew know, but on the other she

didn’t want to. Wanting to let him know was because she didn’t want him to live with regrets in his

lifetime. If throughout his lifetime he didn’t know who his biological mother was, what a tragedy it would

be?

But she didn’t want to let him know because she didn’t want the hardships that Victoria went through all

these years to go to waste.

After dinner, Jeffery asked Matthew to follow him to his study room. Dolores and the kids were in the

living room. Marina turned on the television for the two kids to watch, afraid that they would be bored.

She cut some fruits and put it on the table, “Have some fruits.” Marina entertained the two kids.

Simona pursed her little mouth, and said sweetly, “I am already full.”

While speaking she rubbed her belly. Marina was tickled by this little girl, “Let me touch and see

whether your little tummy is bulging.”

Perhaps it was ticklish, the little girl giggled.

Dolores looked towards the study room once in a while. She was very anxious, but she didn’t dare to

show it in front of Marina.

“What did Jeffery want to say just now?” Dolores tried to ask something from Marina.

“It should be about Victoria. His relationship with Jolene was very strong, when she passed away, he

closed himself up for three days without eating or drinking anything. When Jolene passed away, it was

my first time seeing him cry, I saw the gentle side of a man made of steel. He has always been very

sensitive about the fact that Jayden remarried, and he is prejudiced towards Victoria.”

Marina had married him a little before Jolene passed away. In addition to that, Jeffery hadn’t

intentionally talked to her about what happened those years. In regards to what really happened in the

past, she wasn’t very clear about it too.

Marina gave a sigh, “Up till now he hasn’t let go. I advised him that things have passed for so long, now

everyone is already old, he should stop pursuing it anymore. But his personality is very strong, I can’t

persuade him.”

Dolores agreed, “Yeah, it’s been so long, he has to let go, over-worrying is not good for the health.”

“Who hasn’t said that to him before, but he just doesn’t listen. I see Victoria is pretty good, sometimes I

pity her too. She has no children all her life. A woman raising a child without getting pregnant, how

would that be considered a woman. It must be a lifetime regret for her,” Marina sighed.
