Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter75: You Can’t Entice Her

Although the house was not that big, its decoration looked quite warm. There was a rectangular table in

the dining room and four family members were sitting at the table.

As Jessica disagreed with Dolores’ request of coming back to China and if she wanted to come back

she would have to marry Sampson, the table was shrouded in a depressing ambience.

Only the innocent Simona had no idea about what was going on. She was sitting in Dolores arms,

asking her mom to feed her.

“Mommy, I want egg custard.” Simona pointed at the steamed egg custard that was as tender as soft

bean-curd with her little finger.

Dolores ladled a spoon of egg custard and fed it into Simona’s mouth.

Samuel sighed whiling gazing at his innocent sister like an adult bothered by bothersome things.

Dolores put a spoon of egg custard into his bowl, “Children are not allowed to furrow their brows.”

“Alas.” Samuel sighed again.

Why did this kid sigh again after being taught that he shouldn’t?

“Samuel Flores, mind your attitude.” Although Dolores was rebuking him, she didn’t say those words

seriously as she didn’t want to be tough to him.

“Why do you have the mood to have the meal?” Samuel threw a wet blanket on her.

“If you fail to persuade grandma, what should you do with your work?” Samuel worried about this

matter more than Dolores did.

“Children shouldn’t be bothered by adult’s matters. What you’re supposed to do is to have meal

regularly and to pay attention to your study.” Jessica ladled a bowl of soup for him, “Eat. You’re not

allowed to involve in adult’s matters.”

Samuel discontented with her words, “I’m also a member of the family, so naturally I have my right to

speak. Grandma, Mommy, let’s vote by a show of hands. The minority should be subordinate to the

majority.”

“Oh, this kid. Who have you learned from? You’re really good at reasoning.” Jessica teased him. This

kid was so young, but he had many ideas.

“Vote by a show of hands.” Samuel repeated his words in a resolute tone.

“You want to come back so badly?” Dolores saw through her son’s mind. It seemed that he wanted

come back to China so badly.

She once thought that as her children had been accustomed to living here, they would not have the

idea of living in the other place. Nevertheless, Samuel’s attitude was quite unexpected to her.

“Mommy’s hometown is also my hometown. I just want to know what your hometown looks like,

Mommy.” Samuel said with a serious look.

Although Dolores wanted to come back to the country, she didn’t do so because of her worries about

Jessica’s feelings.

But Samuel was so smart and he knew deep down that as Dolores respected Jessica so much, if they

wanted to come back to the country, they had to obtain Jessica’s agreement.

He put down his spoon, jogged towards Jessica, tugged her sleeve and waggled gently, “Grandma, my

dear grandma, please, agree with it.”

But Jessica still disagreed.

Samuel continued to act cutely and begged with his soft tone, “Grandma, grandma, my dear grandma.”

“Grandma, grandma, my dear grandma.” Simona also followed suit.

Samuel and Simona’s tone was so soft, innocent and sweet that Jessica felt her heart melting.

She felt as if she still didn’t agree with the request, she would feel sorry for the two children.

So she said, “Let’s vote by a show of hands.”

Samuel was the first to lift his hand, “Who agrees to coming back to China please raise your hand.”

“Mommy.” Seeing that Dolores remained motionless, Samuel signaled to her. But Dolores only lifted

her hand after learning that Jessica was not going to be angry.

“Simona…”

“You can’t entice her.” Jessica interrupted Samuel.

Samuel pouted and waggled his lifted hands at his younger sister.

Simona felt it very interesting. As her mother and brother all had raised their hands, she also lifted her

hand.

Three to one.

Jessica had lost. But she was not angered at all; instead, she said worriedly, “I didn’t know whether this

was a wise decision or not.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. I will protect my mommy.” Samuel patted his chest and made the promise.

Jessica rubbed her grandson’s hair and heaved a deep sigh. What would Samuel know since he was

just a child after all?

But his filial piety was really precious, “Your Mommy had risked her life to give birth to you two. And you

actually didn’t disappoint her.”

Samuel blinked his eyes. He also had heard from Sampson that his mom had suffered a lot to give

birth him and his sister.

“I won’t allow anyone to bully my mother.” Dolores said in a particularly resolute tone as if he had make

up his mind on something.

Jessica suddenly realized that she had talked too much about this. Samuel was a child after all. She

held him into her arms and put him on her thighs, “Samuel, you’re a man of our family.”

“Of course.” Samuel lifted his chin up and replied proudly.

Having managed to persuade Jessica, the ambience of the meal also became relaxed. Simona, who

was nestling in Dolores’ arms, was sleepy and constantly nodded off, so Dolores carried her up. But

the little girl seemed to feel that Dolores was about to leave the table and opened her eyes, “I want to

eat.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Dolores was rendered speechless.

This kid was so sleepy, yet she was still thinking of having the meal.

Dolores could only sit back into the chair. Simona took several mouthful of food and fell asleep.

Jessica asked Dolores to take the child to the bedroom and said she would clear away the dishes.

Dolores nodded in agreement. As Simona hadn’t taken a bath yet and if she woke up when being

bathed, she would cry, so it was better for Dolores to take care of her by herself.

Probably it was because Simona hadn’t slept during the daytime, she was now in a sound sleep.

Dolores washed her face, hands and feet, but she showed no sign of waking up.

Samuel sighed emotionally, “Mommy, I think Simona was born in the Year of the Pig.”

She was so good at eating and sleeping.

Dolores rolled her eyes at him, “How can you say these? If your sister was born in the Year of the Pig,

then tell me when you were born. Don’t forget that you’re twins.”

Samuel sat beside the bed and took out his table PC to play a game called ‘Intelligence Box’, saying, “I

was born in the Year of the Snake. The teacher said that the snake is a kind of cold-blooded animal.”

Dolores turned around, only to see her son’s delicate profile. He had curling eyelashes and was now

concentrating on the game with his head lowered. Dolores thanked his teacher in mind.

It was just that the things Samuel’s teacher had taught were beyond his age.

Samuel shouldn’t learn those things at such a young age.

“Do you like your teacher?” Dolores asked.

“Of course.” Samuel replied without hesitation.

Dolores rubbed his hair.

Right at this moment, her phone which was placed on the bedside table buzzed. As Samuel was close

to the phone, he picked it up and handed it to Dolores, “Mommy, your phone call.”

Dolores reached out to take the phone and found that the caller ID was ‘LEO’.

This was the symbolic caller ID of Mrs. William.

Dolores was grateful to Mrs. William because of her appreciation of her ability back then.

At that time, although she had just gotten her graduation certificate, she didn’t have any related

experiences. According to LEO’s status in the industry, it would by no means lower its standard to

recruit a green hand like her.

Nevertheless, Mrs. William said she felt Dolores was like her young self and let her stay in the

company.

It was because of her appreciation back then that she would have the opportunities to get to where she

was today in her career.

Therefore, Dolores was quite respectful to Mrs. William.

“I’ve arranged Theresa to come back to China first. She will arrange everything for you and you can

come back directly.”

“I see.”

Dolores tucked up the quilt for Simona, walked to the windows and looked out of the windows, yet only

to see nothing as it was so dark outside.

Nevertheless, she gradually made up her mind.

Just as what Matthew had said, since she had let go of everything, what was she afraid of now?

She straightened up her back. Now that everything was on the rails - she had her own career, the

children had grown up and her mother’s disease had been under control, it would be the same for her

to live at the other place.

“Dolores, do you hate me?” Mrs. William was wordless for a long time before asking.

“No.” Dolores replied honestly.

At the very beginning, she had been confused about why she could be the exception. She had never

been discontented with Mrs. William especially after learning the story between Mrs. William and Mr.

William.

Mrs. William heaved a sigh as if she wanted to say something, but she hung up the phone in the

end.
