Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 199 Destined Fate

Armand and Theresa were sitting in the place beside the window. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.

Armand looked worn-out. When he saw them come in, he pounced on them without bothering his image at all, "You guys are finally back. We've been waiting for you guys for half a day."

Boyce disgustedly pushed him away, "Lost? What took you so long?"

He said he had left long ago and by right, he should have arrived early.

As he spoke, he glanced at Theresa who was walking towards Dolores. Why did he bring her here also?

What did this guy do to her?

Armand was vexed so he did not notice Boyce's strange gaze. When he came, he was caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when did he want to get married, otherwise, she would not allow him to come out.

He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year and he managed to come out only after saying so.

So, he was delayed.

The main problem was that he did not even have a proper girlfriend yet.

"Don't mention it, it's caused by my grandmother." Seeing Armand's troubled look, Boyce understood what was the exact reason.

Although the Bernie family was not a great noble family, it was also considered a family of scholars. However, Armand's parents died early and he had only a grandmother left. Now, Armand was also a man in his thirties so it was normal that his grandmother was anxious about his marriage.

"She urges you again?" Boyce used his shoulder to touch him.

"Yeah."

"Isn't that a ready-made one?" Boyce raised his chin in front of him. Not far away, Theresa was hugging Dolores and she did not let go of her, "I can finally see you. I was very afraid when you disappeared. I was afraid that you were in danger. You said that our trip back to here this time would be thrilling and exciting."

"It's fine, don't worry, isn't that I'm fine?" Dolores patted her shoulder.

Armand looked at Theresa and twitched his lips, "This woman is not bad but it's hard to hook up with her."

"You're so good at tactics, do you need to worry that you can't conquer this woman?" Boyce joked.

Armand glared at him, "Am I someone who is that mean?"

"Haha." Boyce laughed inwardly. He thought that he was trying to pretend to be a good man again. Who was the one who changed women every day as if he was changing clothes. However, Boyce knew that he was just playing around without being serious.

"By the way." Boyce hooked his neck and went to the side to whisper, "I found that Matthew and..."

"Dad, what are they talking about?" Simona, who was lying on Matthew's shoulder looked at the two people standing not far away who were whispering beside the window.

"Don't care about them." Matthew carried her upstairs.

Dolores helped Theresa pull the suitcase, "You must be tired after having a long journey. Go up and take a rest."

"Okay." Theresa did not let Dolores help her, "I can do it myself." She reached out to caress Samuel's head, "Samuel."

"Theresa, how come you come together with him?" Samuel looked at Armand and then looked at Theresa.

Dolores originally also intended to ask how come they came together.

"He went to the store and told me that he found you. I was anxious to see you so I came along with him. When you weren't at the store, the store didn't receive orders and they were very few customers." Theresa was a bit disappointed. She felt that she was still not capable enough. Although the two guests she served were satisfied with her design, they said that there was nothing more special and stunning so they eventually did not place any order.

Now, Allison was watching the store so she came over.

Dolores patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, it will be fine."

When she managed to hire the master who knew how to make gambier canton gauze, the store was bound to have many businesses.

Theresa told Dolores what happened in the store during this time. The two of them talked while going upstairs.

Boyce had arranged a sumptuous dinner to welcome Armand and Theresa.

Simona was sleepy and she insisted on wanting to be carried by Matthew, "Dad, hug me when I sleep."

The little child was very pampered. She wrapped his neck and did not let go of her hand. She sweetly called, "Dad."

Matthew kissed his daughter's cheeks. He totally could not refuse upon seeing her cute look.

Matthew whispered to Dolores, "I'll take her up first."

Dolores nodded.

After Matthew left, Dolores used chopsticks to place food in her son's bowl. Samuel took a bite, put down the chopsticks and slid down from the chair, "I'm done eating too."

He wanted to go back to the room himself and he was so understanding that he was like an adult. Dolores was a bit worried, "I'll accompany you to go up."

"No need, I'll be fine since there are people following me." He pointed to the two bodyguards behind him.

Sampson's position was unknown. Matthew worried that he would do something to his children and Dolores so he let the bodyguards always follow them.

"Dolores, you shouldn't be like that. We came from thousands of miles away to come and see you, are you going to leave us alone?" Armand looked at Dolores with the grievance, "Let me toast you since I've tried hard to bring Ms. Gordon to you?"

He originally wanted to say that you should toast me but he did not dare to let her toast him as she was Matthew's wife.

So, he changed his words and he said that he would toast her instead.

Dolores looked at Armand and then looked at Boyce and Theresa. She took the wine glass handed over by Armand and said while smiling, "I toast you guys, thank you for taking care of the people around me during my absence."

She drank it all. Spirit was strong so the moment she drank all, her throat felt spicy and painful. She frowned, put down the glass and took a sip of water to ease her discomfort.

Armand blinked, "Dolores, you're indeed good at drinking, I'll also drink."

Dolores had already drunk. She thought of the two children and said, "You guys continue to enjoy, I'll go up first."

Armand pulled her, "Dolores, Matthew is really inhumane, in addition to exploit us, he totally doesn't treat us as human beings. I'm aggrieved but I dare not say."

Armand was 'crying' when he complained about Matthew.

Dolores was speechless.

What did this have to do with her?

"Is he really that inhumane?" Dolores asked as she looked at Armand who was pestering her like a 'puppy' and would not let go of his hand.

Armand twitched his lips and nodded forcefully. He even pointed at Boyce to prove for him, "Ask him if you don't believe me."

Boyce knew that he was deliberately pestering Dolores to drink with him. He pretended that he did not hear his words, turned to look at Theresa and asked with concern, "You should be tired during the journey right?"

Theresa shook her head, "No, I'm not tired."

"Did that guy bully you?" Boyce's words meant a certain thing.

Theresa lowered her head, pursed her lips and shook her head, "Mr. Bernie has taken good care of me."

"You see, you see, am I the kind of man who only bullies women? Boyce, you've indeed underestimated me!" Armand got up and pointed at Boyce, "You guys slipped away and left all the mess to me." Armand was absolutely not drunk. He purposely pretended to be drunk and was pulling Dolores, totally not intending to let her go. He even complained to her about the vast amount of works he had done. But in fact, he was deliberately saying how anxious Matthew was when she disappeared, "Do you know? When you disappeared, I accompanied Matthew to look for you everywhere. When he later learnt that you're here, he came here with Boyce and left me alone in City B to deal with the mess caused by Maria. But, you don't need to worry, I've already dealt with it nicely, she can no longer come out to cause trouble again..." Armand moved closer to Dolores, "She committed manslaughter so she won't be able to survive."

Dolores looked at Armand with mixed feelings. Emotions surged in her mind. It was Maria who threatened and coerced her to come out using the safety of the two children. For the safety of her children, she fell into the trap designed by Maria and was controlled by Sampson.

It was already a surprise to her that Matthew managed to come here and replace her.

Unexpectedly, he would also take action to deal with Maria.

Armand poured wine for Dolores and also filled his own glass, "Since I've helped you so much, shouldn't you drink with me?"

Dolores knew that he was intentionally saying this to her. She picked up the wine glass, "You guys are really good buddies." Armand was stunned. He purposely pretended that he did not understand.

Watching this on the side, Theresa was anxious. It was very obvious that Armand was deliberately making Dolores drink.

She wanted to persuade but was pulled by Boyce to deliberately stop her, "Ms. Gordon, it must be a tiring journey for you to bring Armand over. Thank you for bringing my useless brother safely over."

As he spoke, he stuffed a glass of wine into Theresa's hand.

Theresa was speechless.

This reason was too far-fetched, right?

"But..."

"Thank you, Ms. Gordon." Boyce did not give Theresa the chance to refuse and first said thank you.

This forced her to drink.

The approach of Boyce and Armand was too obvious so Dolores could figure it out easily. She did not refuse to get drunk once, "It's like what you guys think. The relationship between Matthew and I, in fact, is not as good as it seems..."

Armand and Boyce looked at each other. This woman actually saw through their intentions?

The two people silently withdrew their gaze and pretended to be dumb, "Dolores, what're you saying. You and Matthew have destined fate and you two are a perfect match."

Dolores smiled, "Well, we're probably indeed destined to be together but other than this, it is hard to judge."

The fact that they had been engaged to each other since they were young indeed showed that they were destined to be together.

Armand was careful, "Are you still angry with the previous matter that he divorced you?" Out of the blue, Armand changed the subject and said righteously, "If it were me, I would be angry also. I would never forgive him if he divorces me for another woman."

Soon, Armand's tone became gentler again, "For the sake of the two children, give him a chance?"

Dolores drank a mouthful of wine. They did not understand the twists and turns.

The reason why she did not accept Matthew wholeheartedly was not because of the divorce in the past. After all, at that time, none of them liked each other and they were only bound together by an agreement made by people of the previous generation.

She was just not sure if Matthew's kindness to her was for the sake of the two children.

She was not sure if she really liked him.

And how much did she like him.

She did not like others to judge the matters of her love relationship, "In the future, don't be like this. I'm going to be angry if there is such a thing next time."

Boyce glared at Armand. He realized that the relationship between Matthew and Dolores was not as normal as what was shown so he told Armand this matter. And, he came up with this idea, saying that they could get Dolores drunk and then sent her to Matthew's bed. Everything would be solved afterward.

But, their intentions were seen through by her at a glance.

Armand smiled awkwardly and muttered in a low voice, "A woman who is too smart is not attractive."

"You guys don't make Theresa drink so much. I'm going back to see Samuel and Simona." Dolores's words meant very clearly so Armand could no longer continue to pester her.

He could only watch Dolores walk away.

With hindsight, Theresa realized that Armand was deliberately making Dolores drink but regarding why did he make her do so, she did not understand.

"It's not suitable for you guys to do that." Theresa glanced at Armand, "Being a man, how can you deliberately make a woman drink. It's a terrible thing. Fortunately, Lola is smart as she can see through your trick at a glance."

Armand was with the grievance. Wasn't he just helping his friend?

This little woman surprisingly dared to accuse him.

He pulled the chair and sat next to Theresa, "What do you know? Huh, you dare to accuse me?"

He deliberately sat close to her and when he spoke, the alcoholic breath overwhelmed her. She frowned, "You go away!"

"Go where? It's just a small place." Armand approached her and his mouth was even closer to her face.

Boyce shook his head. It was obvious that Armand was flirting with her. He did not want to be the third wheel so he quietly got up and left the box.

Seeing that others were leaving, Theresa also intended to leave but she was pulled by Armand.

"Don't leave, drink with me..."

"You're crazy, let go of me..."

Boyce closed the door and thought that Armand might really be able to get married at the end of the year.

Theresa was actually quite good. She was young and she looked ravishing.

When Dolores reached upstairs, Simona and Samuel had already hit the sack. Purling water sounds came from the bedroom. The frosted glass door was not shut entirely. The door was opened after she gently pushed it.0000
