Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 1024: I’ll Cure You for Sure

Armand wondered if he had spoken something wrong.

He looked confused.

“Did I say something wrong?” he asked Matthew while looking at him.

Dolores also looked over at Matthew. Obviously, she could feel that Matthew purposely interrupted

Armand.

Matthew cast an indifferent glance at Armand. “You are getting aged. Have you become as

oversensitive as a woman?”

Armand choked up.

He found that no matter what he said, Matthew would retort him. He shushed.

Dolores was also speechless.

She wasn’t happy about his remark about a woman being oversensitive

She wondered if she should also stop speaking as well. Otherwise, Matthew would remark her being © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

oversensitive.

After entering the room, Dolores couldn't help but ask, "Did you remark Armand or me just now?"

Matthew couldn’t utter a beep.

Inwardly, he truly felt that Dolores had been oversensitive.

“Do you want to say that I’m oversensitive on this issue?” Dolores answered before he reacted. With a

smile, she said, “All right. I might have been oversensitive. Let’s go to bed early. You’ll take an early

flight tomorrow. You should have a good sleep.”

Dolores had a self-reflection and realized that she had been a bit oversensitive recently. Matthew and

she had been together for whole life, she still suspected that he was hiding something from her. She

didn't think it was appropriate.

“How long haven’t we separated?” She unbuttoned the buttons on his collar and cuffs considerately.

Since Matthew left the company to the management team, he seldom wore business suits. Instead, he

wore casual clothes. It was because of Joshua’s wedding, so he put on a suit again.

Dolores seriously unbuttoned his shirt. “Go to take a shower,” she said.

Matthew looked down at her. “Why do you treat me so well suddenly?”

She raised her brows. “Didn’t I treat you well before?”

“Of course.” Matthew grabbed her hands. “You’ve stripped me. Why don’t you help me bathe?”

“Stop kidding, old man!” She patted his hands off. “Go take a shower.”

Matthew smiled in silence. He went to the bathroom obediently. It seemed that Armand’s interruption

had removed Dolores’s suspicion completely.

The next morning, Matthew took the earliest flight and left.

Dolores stayed in Armand’s house.

They didn’t wait for Joshua and Bonnie for breakfast.

“Let’s eat.” Theresa poured a glass of milk for Dolores. “They should have it in the hotel.”

Dolores picked up the milk. “Theresa, please don’t go to your store today. Let’s go out to do something

else.”

There were a lot of designers in the tailor’s shop, so Theresa didn’t need to go there every day. She sat

down, took a piece of toast, and applied some peanut butter on it. “What are we going to do?” she

asked.

“I must buy a new house for the kids. They can’t stay all the time in the hotel. If they stayed here, it

would be too crowded. I must get them a new house so they could stay in their own home,” said

Dolores.

“Yeah. They are so young and just married. They should enjoy their private world. Okay. After

breakfast, I’ll go out with you,” said Theresa.

“Are you having breakfast so early?” Joshua and Bonnie came in.

“Why didn’t you wait for us?” Joshua walked into the dining room and pulled a chair for Bonnie.

“We wanted to wait for you, but we thought you wouldn’t come here for breakfast. Why did you guys

get up so early?” Theresa stood up to get the tableware for them.

“We seldom sleep in usually,” Joshua smiled and answered.

Before Theresa could answer the question, Armand chimed in, “But it was your wedding day yesterday,

wasn’t it? We thought you couldn’t get up in the morning, so we didn’t wait for you.”

His words were full of ambiguous implications.

Bonnie lowered her head, blushing slightly.

Joshua was a man. Although Armand was a friend of his father, he was like a friend of Joshua. They

were quite close and always spoke directly to each other. “Oh, you’ve experienced it before. That’s why

you know,” Joshua joked.

Armand choked up for a moment.

“You brad, how dare you jest at me!” Armand said angrily but he smiled. “You’ve become like me more

and more. Like my son.”

“I can be your son, but you must let me inherit all your legacy.” Joshua took over the tableware from

Theresa. He looked up and smiled. “Do you want to recognize me as your son?”

Theresa faked being anger. "I dare not. You haven't called us Dad and Mom yet, but you are coveting

our properties. You are so greedy!"

“Exactly! Too greedy!” Armand echoed.

“Look at you. So stingy! Do you think I truly want your properties?” Joshua bit on a piece of toast and

said, “I want to eat eggs stewed in tea.”

“I’ll make them tomorrow,” said Theresa.

Joshua smiled.

"I'll go out to find you a new house today. Do you have any requirements, Bonnie?” Dolores gave

Bonnie her fried egg.

"Up to you, Mom. I don't have any requirements. It'll be better if it's closer to the company, so it's

convenient for Joshua." Bonnie was quite shy. “Mom, please have the egg.”

She put her plate in front of Dolores. “I’m not quite hungry. I’ve had a piece of toast just now.”

The breakfast in the hotel was quite simple -- fried eggs, some toast, fruits, and milk.

“Just eat it. I’ll look at as many houses as possible before making the decision.” Dolores reached out

and tossed a strand of hair for Bonnie and put it at the back of her ears. “You can go back to the hotel

for a rest after breakfast.”

She was afraid that Bonnie would feel shy if staying here.

Bonnie lowered her head and answered, “Okay, Mom.”

After breakfast, Dolores wanted to clean up the table, but Theresa stopped her. “Let Armand do it. Let’s

go.”

Armand looked at them pitifully. “I can clean the table, but can you take me along with you?” he asked.

Joshua and Bonnie had gone back to the hotel. Boyce and Jasmine had left. Now if Dolores and

Theresa also went out, Armand would be alone at home.

“If you are bored, just go to your factory.” Theresa looked at him. “You can’t leave everything to Joshua

completely. He just got married. You should help him keep an eye.”

Armand was silent.

"I found you dote Joshua more than doting me. You are so considerate of him. Why aren't you

considerate for me?" he complained in a grievance.

“Joshua had never done anything wrong to me. But, have you?” Theresa looked at him with a smile.

Armand shushed immediately.

“I’ll clean the table and do the dishes. I’ll also prepare for lunch.”

Dolores could hardly hold back her laughter while watching them. She patted Theresa and said, “Could

you just stop bullying Armand?”

“No, she’s not bullying me. I volunteered,” Armand hurriedly said.

Theresa cast him a glance and went upstairs. “I’ll go get changed.”

In the past, Dolores felt quite sorry for Theresa. She felt that Theresa had tolerated a lot of grievances

after being with Armand. In fact, she did. She even couldn’t become a mother all her life because of

Armand, which was the regret of her whole life.

Watching how Theresa and Armand got along now, Dolores felt sorry for Armand. However, she didn't

think Theresa had gone too far. Theresa had suppressed herself for a long time, and finally, she could

lead a worry-free life proudly. Dolores felt happy for her.

“Alas... She doesn’t care about my dignity even when there are guests.” Armand rubbed his nose. He

felt embarrassed because he was mocked at such an age.

Dolores helped him clean the table "I'll do the dishes. No one is mocking you. She has suffered a lot.

You should be generous to her, obey her, and dote her," said she.

“I’ll do it, Dolores. You can go out early. I know it, so I won’t get angry no matter what she does to me. I

know I’ve owed her all my life. It’s already the greatest gift from her since she has forgiven me and

been with me.” Armand knew everything quite well.

He understood everything.

In the small town.

After Evelyn had been to a big herb store in the city and found the herb she wanted, she started to cure

Andrew.

"No worries. I'll cure you for sure." She seriously weighed and dispensed the herbs.

There was a room in her house in which three walls were covered by the cabinets. All different kinds of

herbs were stored there. There was a rectangular table in front with an electronic balance. In the past,

her family used the balance with weight scales. Now she used the electronic one.

Andrew was sitting on the chair next to her. He had used to the herb smell that fulfilled this room. He

turn in the direction where she was speaking and said, "Are you sure my blindness wasn't caused by

my injury this time?"
