Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 700 Not Giving Up

The content was "Good morning!"

Dolores stared at these words. She was thinking if the message last night was a prank or a random message sent by somebody.

Then what did this one mean this morning?

After Matthew helped his daughter wash her face, he walked out and saw Dolores standing by the bed while staring at her phone. So, Matthew approached her. Dolores was deeply immersed in her thoughts that she did not notice Matthew was already standing behind her. She was shocked when Matthew asked her who had sent her a message.

"Why are you walking without any sound?" Dolores put her hand over her heart which was still pounding.

Matthew looked at her, "It is not that I'm walking without any sound. You're just too engrossed. Who sent you the message?"

Good morning?

Who?

Charles White?

Still not giving up on Dolores by now?

Dolores sat on the bed and raised her head while looking at him.

Matthew looked at her, "Why don't you say anything?"

Dolores scrolled to the last message and pursed her lips, "It is strange. There have been unknown messages since last night. What does this person mean and what does he intend to do?" Matthew took her phone over and scrolled through the messages. Then, he frowned as he seemed to be surprised as well.

"Have you been fooling around with girls outside?" Dolores frowned as she did not suspect him purposely. However, she just could not figure out who would do that with an appropriate reason. Matthew took a glance at her and did not say anything. He forwarded the contact number on her phone to his own phone, "I will replace it out. Don't think too much about it."

Dolores lowered her eyes, "I'm not thinking too much. I just feel a bit uneasy. Who will do that?"

"I will replace it out." Matthew's tone was serious with imperceptible anger.

She had been in a good mood this morning. However, she could not calm down after encountering such a situation.

She was really afraid that if anything would happen again. Fortunately, Boyce's issue was resolved without any trouble this time, but what about next time?

"How is Declan now?" Dolores asked.

It was him since the last time.

"He has been sentenced to prison." Declan had completely ruined himself. He originally had the opportunity to go abroad and avoid imprisonment. Now, he was like seeking his own death and nobody could save him anymore.

Dolores lowered her eyes, "It won't be him then."

Matthew told her not to think about it anymore, "I will replace it out. Your daughter is hungry. Let's go downstairs to eat."

Dolores nodded and reached out to caress her daughter's face, "Bring Andrew back today. He can play with her too. It is so lonely with nobody at home all of the sudden."

Previously, Theresa, Jayden and Kevin were at home. But now, they were all gone and the villa became so quiet all of the sudden.

At first, Matthew wanted to bring Amanda to the company as it might be good for her recovery by getting along with more people. However, he gave up the idea of bringing his daughter to the company after receiving these unknown messages.

The main focus now was to replace out who had sent those weird messages to Dolores's phone.

"I will fetch him after the meal," Matthew said.

Dolores nodded her head.

The house had been cleaned by Coral, but there was still a faint smell of alcohol. So, Matthew asked Coral to open the windows for ventilation.

Coral said, "The windows are open. It may take some time to get rid of the smell."

"If you can't get used to the smell, just stay upstairs." Matthew lifted his eyes and looked at Dolores.

She did not have much appetite as she chewed the food in her mouth bit by bit.

Perhaps, she was thinking about something and did not pay attention to Matthew's words.

So, she did not respond either.

Matthew looked at her.

He knew that even she had promised not to think about it anymore, but she must be thinking about it over and over again in her mind.

He sighed, "Why can't you just listen to me?"

"Huh?"

Dolores regained her sense and did not hear what he had said clearly.

Matthew also lost his appetite and waited until Dolores had finished her meal. Then, he let Dolores take care of Amanda.

He left the villa to fetch Andrew.

He also brought Jayden and Kevin back to the villa with him by the way. So, there was somebody at home who could help Dolores to look after Amanda. Since Amanda did not even stick with Coral, only Dolores could look after her alone when he was away. It was inconvenient for Dolores to take care of Amanda with her big belly.

At nine o'clock, Matthew fetched them back home.

"Mummy." Andrew ran over and lay on her lap while looking at his sister, "Still not well?"

Dolores reached out and caressed his forehead, "Yes, so I have called you back to play with your sister."

Andrew had always been sensible and obedient. He nodded vigorously and then kept talking to his sister, "Amanda, I have something for you. Do you want to see it?"

Amanda blinked her eyes at him and did not say anything.

Andrew was not discouraged and continued to prompt her to speak, "Don't you really want to see it? Then I will give it to somebody else?"

Amanda remained silent.

It seemed that the toys could not tempt her. Amanda went to bring over the full set of toys for the playing house.

In fact, they were planning to come back even if Matthew did not fetch them from the mansion today. They had bought all these toys for her yesterday.

Amanda had always wanted to play house, but Andrew had always felt childish and was unwilling to play.

His sister was frightened till mental illness this time, so he gave in as long as he could make his sister recover quickly. He was willing to do anything for her.

Jayden came over, "Amanda, come and hug grandpa."

Amanda burrowed into Dolores's arms. She showed her reluctance with her action.

"Grandpa, let's play house together." Andrew pulled Jayden to sit down on the carpet while Kevin joined in with Cotton.

Amanda blinked her eyes at them. Andrew set up those toys properly, especially the kitchen toys which included all kinds of ingredients, pots and pans to slice and stir fry. She had always wanted to play house with a princess living inside.

After a while, she took the initiative to get out of Dolores's hug and join them.

Dolores heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good to see that she had finally changed slightly. Although she still did not talk, she was willing to play with the others.

On the other side, Matthew entered his office and made an internal phone call after arriving at the company, "Tell Abbott to come to my office."

"Alright, Mr. Nelson."

He unbuttoned his suit and sat down at his desk.

After Abbott received the call from the secretary, he came to Matthew's office. When he reached the door, he did not knock immediately, but he stood at the door for a moment before raising his hand to knock on the door.

Soon, Matthew's voice was heard.

Abbott pushed the door and went in.

"You go and check this number for me."

Matthew gave Abbott the phone number that sent messages to Dolores.

Abbott took it over and said while lowering his head, "Okay."

"Wait..."

Just as Abbott was about to leave, Matthew stopped him, "Why are you so tired recently?"

It was unusual for Abbott to look dull and feel dejected.

Abbott shook his head, "No."

"I will give you an extra week for your annual leave this year." Matthew flipped through the document on his desk that required his signature.

Abbott struggled as he wanted to say something to him, but he did not know how to say it. Finally, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Nelson."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
