Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 86: Old Love Was Brought Back

"Something stalled me." Dolores explained.

"Contact me by phone." Terry made a gesture towards Dolores, which meant calling someone by phone, "If you need to use a car, you can call me too." Maybe it was because they had a common enemy now, two of them grew closer.

Dolores nodded.

"Okay. Go ahead and take care of your thing now. I need to work too." Terry waived his hand and drove the car away.

If he didn't work, he couldn't make his ends meet.

"Lola, who is he?" Theresa asked in curiosity.

She was curious about how could Lola make a friend when taking a taxi.

Dolores didn't want to explain more on this thing, so she smiled lightly, "You are in such a rush. Who came looking for me?"

Theresa patted her head, "I almost forgot about it." She dragged Dolores, "I have her wait in your office. It is a mess here. Only your office is in better shape."

Or there would be no place here that could entertain a guest.

Dolores was curious about who came looking for her.

"Who is it? Man or women?" She didn't have any friend in this country other than Sampson.

"A lady. She claimed to be Mrs. Nelson. She looked beautiful and elegant too." Theresa peeked at Dolores' face in secrecy.

Her ex-husband was Matthew Nelson.

Was this Mrs. Nelson her ex-mother-in-law?

Dolores frowned. Mrs. Nelson?

When she and Matthew got married, there was neither a wedding nor a ceremony. She didn't even meet Matthew's family. Mrs. Nelson?

But according to her knowledge, Mrs. Nelson died a long time ago. Was it...Dolores seemed to have figure it out.

Coral said before that Matthew's father remarried not long after his mother passed away.

Only she could claim to be Mrs. Nelson.

But what did she want from her?

Dolores was full of confusion.

"She was in here. Call me whenever you need me." Theresa took Dolores to the door of her office and didn't plan to go in. Dolores nodded. After Theresa left, she opened the door.

Though the office was cleaned and rearranged, there was only a desk, a sofa and a tea table. The floor was swept. The whole office looked empty. And tea or water was not available too. A woman in an elegant outfit stood in front of the French window. Dolores didn't see her face and only saw that her body was kept in good shape. Her long hair was combed into a bun.

The woman heard something and looked back to see Dolores standing at the door. She asked tentatively, "Are you Dolores?"

When the woman turned around, Dolores saw her face. Though that woman had endured the passage of time, Dolores could still see how pretty and outstanding she looked.

That woman crossed her hands above her abdomen. She was wearing an Omega wristwatch. A black shoulder bag was hanging from her arm. She was wearing a plaid dress and a pair of black high-heeled shoes.

There was no extra jewelry or accessories. Her outfit was simple, but she was giving out the beauty of elegance and wisdom.

"Yes, I am." Dolores walked in, "What do you want from me? I am not close to you."

Victoria smiled lightly, "When you married Matthew, we were supposed to meet each other, but..." Because things weren't going well between Matthew and them, Matthew was reluctant to bring Dolores home. After they got the marriage certificate, Jayden called Matthew and asked him to bring Dolores home. But the request was rejected.

It was Matthew's own decision when they got divorced too. They knew about the divorce after it happened.

Dolores understood and smiled, "I know."

After all, their marriage was a business deal. It was normal that Matthew didn't introduce her to his families.

"Please have a seat." Dolores reached her hand to show Victoria to the Sofa.

Victoria nodded and sat on the sofa.

Dolores sat across from Victoria. She didn't speak first and was waiting for Victoria to speak.

Victoria came to replace her. She must need something from her.

Victoria checked Dolores who looked young and beautiful and asked, "I heard that when you got married to Matthew, you were only 18?" Dolores nodded, "Yes."

Then it was two seconds of silence.

"Do you know that Matthew was going to get engaged?" Victoria asked.

While talking, Victoria fixated her eyes on Dolores' face to observe the change of her expression.

Dolores answered honestly, "Yes."

"But he canceled the engagement later. Do you know that too?"

"Yes." Dolores slightly looked down and thought about why Victoria came looking for her.

Judging from her voice, Dolores knew it must have something to do with Matthew.

"Do you know why he canceled the engagement?"

Dolores didn't know about this.

She raised her head and looked at Victoria, "I don't know."

Dolores pointed to her office, "You have seen it. I just came back from abroad. I don't know much about what happened in this country. We have been divorced, so I can't know anything more." Though they had not got divorce certificate, Dolores believed in her mind that they had got a divorce.

She remembered when Matthew said "Let's get a divorce".

After he spoke that sentence, their marriage ended.

Victoria was surprised, "You don't know about that?" Clearly she didn't believe that Dolores didn't know, "He canceled the engagement for you. Don't you know that?"

It was Dolores who was surprised this time.

For her?

Wasn't this bullshit?

"I think there must be some misunderstanding. You know, we have been divorced for so many years. How could he do that for me?"

Victoria shook her head. Misunderstanding didn't exist. Thomas conducted a survey and found that Matthew canceled the engagement with Maria after he saw Dolores in Country A.

This might be the case. They had got married and formed attachments for each other. When Matthew met her again, he realized he loved her. The old love was brought back, so he canceled the engagement with Maria.

"You must have heard about the Nelson family and the Herbert family too. They are both prestigious families in B City. If they connect by marriage, it will be a win-win cooperation. It will do good to both the Herbert family and the Nelson family." Victoria's voice was gentle and soft. She looked at Dolores, "Before he went abroad and met you, he was willing to marry Miss Herbert. They two had a long history. And both families attached great importance on this marriage."

"So you come here to ask me to leave Matthew?" Dolores could neither cry nor laugh, "I think you must have misunderstood. We are not together at all."

They weren't lovers since the beginning.

Victoria really made a mistake, coming to her.

Victoria frowned slightly, "You are not together?"

Dolores nodded and said firmly, "No."

"He stabbed himself...to cancel the engagement. I didn't see it. I heard it from Jayden. Matthew stabbed a fruit knife into his own chest...to cancel the engagement."

"What?" Dolores stood up immediately.

So he got the wound on his chest in this way?

He stabbed himself. Was he nuts?

Victoria observed Dolores' reaction in silence. Dolores didn't seem to know about this.

"Why did he do it?" Dolores was confused.

"The engagement between him and Miss Herbert was on the news, which meant the two families would have business interaction in the future. He was the one that canceled the engagement. So he had to bear some responsibilities. Besides, Miss Herbert saved him by accident when they were children and has been by his side for a long time. The cancel would reflect very badly on Miss Herbert. Matthew must feel guilty for her." Therefore, when Maria said she wanted his life, he literally stabbed himself.

He wanted to pay his debts for her.

While talking, Victoria sighed, "It seemed like Maria loved Matthew very much. I heard that she collapsed after the cancel."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
