Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 657: Dolores Received a Gift before the Wedding

Theresa was a bit absent-minded. She felt a bit worried because Armand hadn't shown up.

Dolores sat on the sofa, while Theresa kept silent, looking quite spiritless.

"You must be tired today." Dolores poured a glass of water for her.

Theresa picked it up and took a sip. She answered, "Not really. I haven't seen Armand. Has anything happened to him?"

She couldn't hold back her worry but ask about his whereabouts.

Dolores looked at her. Obviously, Theresa still cared about Armand.

She poured a glass of water for herself and asked, "Why are you asking about him? Do you care about him?"

"No, I don't," Theresa denied immediately. She explained, "It's your wedding today, but he hasn't shown up at all. Is it normal?”

Dolores didn't answer her immediately. She took a few sips of the water and said, "He's been there all the time, but he didn't show up in front of us." "Why not?" Theresa asked.

Dolores put down the water, looking at her in silence. Obviously, Theresa asked because she truly cared. It was her subconscious reaction, which couldn't lie. Soon, Theresa realized that she had reacted too obvious. She tried to explain but didn't know how to achieve it. For a moment, she was in a panic. Dolores glanced at the door and checked the time. She guessed that Matthew should have taken Armand to the lounge now.

She started to talk seriously, "Theresa, you do care about Armand."

"No, I don't," Theresa said less confidently. Her voice was lower.

In the beginning, she tried to hold back her question because she was afraid that her thoughts would be exposed. However, Dolores still found it. Dolores didn't insist on asking her, giving her some time to relax.

In the room next door, Boyce asked Matthew to enter. He had found out the woman who sent the gift box, but he didn't tell Dolores about her identity because it was a member form the Bailey family. To avoid worrying Dolores, he lied to her. After the wedding, he decided to tell Matthew.

Seeing Armand standing at the door of the lounge, Boyce asked, "Armand has been hiding in the wedding all the time. Why is he standing at the door of the lounge but not going in?"

Matthew sat on the sofa, looked up, and loosened his collar, "I did it intentionally."

He lied to Armand that he wanted to talk to Armand, taking him to the lounge. At the door, they overheard the conversation between Dolores and Theresa.

Hearing that Theresa was in the lounge, Armand turned away and was about to go into another room. Matthew didn't tell him about his plan but pulled him to stop.

Before Armand asked why in confusion, he overheard that Dolores remarked, "Theresa, you do care about Armand."

For some reason, he wanted to know the answer extremely eagerly, wondering if Theresa still cared about him.

Even if she didn't love him, it would be fine. As long as she still cared about him, it meant that he could still occupy her heart.

Probably in this way, he wouldn't think that his love was way too worthless.

When Boyce came to them, Armand was concentrating on eavesdropping on Theresa's answer.

"Why?" Boyce was confused. Why did Matthew intentionally let Armand stand at the door and eavesdropping the conversation inside?

As a smart man, Boyce realized that Theresa must be in there, "Dolores and you are truly considerate friends. Your wedding has just ended. I can tell how exhausted you guys are, but you still think about helping Armand."

Matthew didn't want to keep discussing this matter. He asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Boyce instantly became serious, "Before the wedding, Dolores received a gift box."

Matthew wasn't drunk, but he had drunk a lot. Dolores had friends, so it was normal for her to receive a gift. He didn't care much.

"It was from the sixth daughter of the Bailey family, Emma Bailey." As he spoke, Boyce pulled his phone and showed the surveillance video to Matthew.

"This woman asked a waitress to pass the gift to Dolores. Although it was a hazard, I don't think she did it out of kindness."

Matthew squinted. He had been paying attention to the Bailey family. Although there were a lot of members in the family, they were not united. Moreover, more people tended to add insult to injury rather than offer others timely help.

Besides, Declan had been quite arrogant, so he had offended a lot of people. This time, his father and he would be fraught with grim possibilities.

Matthew also sent his men to keep an eye on Declan's older sisters, who were all married. So far, none of them had taken any action. He also got some information about Emma. Since he had decided to do something to the Bailey family, Matthew had done a detailed investigation on their family and network structures.

However, he hadn't expected that someone would make a move.

"What did she send?" asked Matthew.

"It wasn't anything dangerous. I didn't see it clearly. What do you plan to do?" asked Boyce.

"Have you told her that woman is from the Bailey family?" Matthew was afraid that Dolores would worry after knowing it. He didn't want her to worry about those trifles.

"Nope. I told her I couldn't replace it out, and Dolores didn't ask me for details," said Boyce.

"Keep an eye on her." Right now, Matthew couldn't deal with this matter. They had just finished the wedding, so he wanted to accompany Dolores for a few more days. Two days later, Dolores would have the prenatal examination, and he needed to go with her.00000000000
