Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 318 Waiting for You

“I won’t let anyone know temporarily.” She wanted to leave aside the fact that she knew Gambiered

Canton Gauze and the costume show at the end of the year first.

She was not going to give up on this, but she wanted to wait for the right time.

If she did not care about anything for the time being now, she would put Matthew in trouble.

The good thing was there was still plenty of time now.

His kiss slid to her ear and he said in a low, muffled voice, “You still don’t want to say anything now.”

Her forehead and the bridge of her nose were full of sweat. She was struggling and trembling inside.

In the end, she still did not tell anything.

At three o’clock, Abbott called and said that all the arrangements had been made there and Matthew

could go over now.

Dolores stood in the foyer to help Matthew to straighten his collar and tie his tie. She was serious and

focused. He hugged her by her waist, “What if I don’t want to go?”

Dolores mused, “If you’re not afraid of hurting employees, then you don’t have to go.”

There were one to two hundred executives in the company and the branches. Many of them did not

see him for a year. It would be unreasonable for him to not show up at the annual meeting.

Matthew pinched her chin and examined her carefully. His fingertips brushed over her lips, “Will you

wait for me to come back?”

Dolores nodded, “Yes.”

“I’ll try to come back early.” He pecked her lips. The lips were soft and supple. The more he kissed, the

more addicted he became. He then wrapped his arms around her to kiss her wildly. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Clatter.

There was a rattle of the door opening, Dolores hurriedly pushed him away and Matthew obediently

released her.

Jayden and Victoria walked in one after the other. Seeing Matthew fully dressed, Jayden asked, “Going

out?”

“To the company,” Matthew replied succinctly.

Jayden understood and did not make clear of anything. After all, he did not care about the company for

a long time. Matthew was capable of managing the company.

Dolores held up the coat while Matthew stretched his hands into the sleeves and shook his shoulders.

The coat was neatly put on his body. There was no a single wrinkle on the top grey cashmere coat. He

looked smart when putting on the coat.

Dolores sent him out of the door.

It was cold outside, so Matthew asked her to go back.

After seeing that the car had left the courtyard, Dolores closed the door and entered the house.

“You went to the Harris family?” Victoria was standing behind Dolores when she turned around.

She answered according to the fact, “Yes.”

“He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?”

“No, he didn’t know it was me. Matthew had helped me, so I don’t think he will know in the near future.”

If he did not know, he would not do anything.

If he did know, Dolores thought that Jeffrey might not be as cruel as before on the fact that she was

Matthew’s wife.

She could see that he cared for Matthew.

Regarding the surnames of the two children, what Jeffrey cared about was not to not take the surname

of the Nelson family, but to not take Matthew’s surname.

Since Jayden had married Victoria, Jeffrey might not have much affection towards this former brother-

in-law.

Victoria let out a slight sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

She was afraid that she might cause trouble for Dolores.

Victoria waved at Dolores and asked her to sit on the sofa.

She asked the maid to pour two cups of hot tea and brought them over.

“Today we went to Jolene’s grave.” They went there every year, “At first I wanted to ask you to go

together, but there are two children, so I didn’t ask you.”

No matter what, Jolene had helped her to take care of Matthew for six years. It was true that Jeffrey

had gone too far with her, but Jolene did not do anything wrong.

After all, in the beginning, it was all of her voluntariness.

Victoria drank some water and asked, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll prepare it.”

Dolores did not have much appetite, so she said, “Anything.”

Victoria smiled, “Alright. I’ll prepare anything that I can prepare.”

“I see that you don’t look very well, go and rest,” Victoria said.

Dolores did feel a little bit tired.

There was still some time before evening, so she said, “I’ll go and take a nap then.”

“Yea, sure.” Victoria waved her hand.

Dolores lay down on her bed. She did not know when she fell asleep and did not wake up even when

the sun set. It was the knock on the door that made her awake.

“Mummy, it’s dinner time,” Samuel called her.

She got up, washed her face and went downstairs. Everyone was already in the dining room except

Matthew.

At first, she wanted to sleep for a while and then help Victoria to prepare dinner. However, she had

slept soundly.

It was really inappropriate for her to sleep while the elders were cooking.

“Why don’t you call me earlier?”

“There are no outsiders and you were out a while ago, now that you are back, you need to rest.”

Victoria served her a bowl of nourishing soup, “This soup is suitable for winter.”

Dolores brought it over with both her hands. It was still steaming. She took a sip. It was still a little hot.

There was a ginseng taste in the soup.

“I put red ginseng in, it’s good for women to eat, drink some more if you’re still not full later,” Victoria

said.

Dolores nodded, “Thank you, mum.”

Victoria responded with a heavy “eh”. It was comforting for her to have her daughter-in-law’s

acknowledgement even though his son did not call her mum.

After dinner, the maid cleaned up the table while Victoria took the initiative to take over the work of

bathing the two children and making them sleep. She wanted to take care of them in person. The two

children did not treat her as a stranger as they had met before and they were willing to spend time with

her.

Dolores was also happy as they had some time to get along since Matthew was away.

She watched TV with the two children downstairs for a while and then she went upstairs.

She looked at the time, it was not yet nine o’clock. As she had taken a nap, she did not feel sleepy. She

took a shower and wore a white velvet robe. She found one of the books that she liked better among

those she had brought with her and sat on the bed to read it.

Unaware that it had already passed twelve, she got drowsy and yawned. She put the bookmark to the

page she stopped reading, closed the book, put it on the table, pulled the quilt and turned off the

bedside lamp. When she was ready for bed, she heard a door opening sound coming from downstairs.

It was late at night, so a little movement could be heard.

She turned the bedside lamp back on.

After a while, she heard footsteps sound coming up the stairs, one at a time ...

Then, the door of the room was pushed open.

Under the pale yellow light, he saw the woman lying on the bed. He opened his eyes and looked right

at her, “Still awake?”

“Waiting for you.”

Dolores saw the white colour on his shoulders and asked, “Is it snowing?”

Matthew realized he had come up in his coat. He glanced sideways and saw a few snowflakes had

fallen on his shoulders. They fell on his shoulder when he walked to the house from the car.

He responded with a “hmm”. Afraid of bringing the cold inside, he hung his coat downstairs before

coming back upstairs.

He closed the door of the room and walked in.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked at her. Her long black hair was like being splashed by ink. Her

pale, flawless skin revealed some light red. Her pink lips were like rose petals.

He had an urge to taste them.

He approached Dolores and leant against her closer and closer. Dolores could smell his breath. There

was a faint smell of alcohol. It was not very strong.

“You’ve been drinking?”
