Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 74: If Know Enemy Well, You Will Win

Jessica stopped washing the vegetables on her hand, seemingly not expecting her daughter to ask this

question out of the blue, “Why do you want to know?”

Dolores lowered her head, “I just want to know, after all, when you planned the marriage with him, I

was only two years old, why would you…”

“The past stays in the past, can’t remember them anyways.” Jessica didn’t want to talk about the past;

she put the washed vegetables on the shelf and looked at her daughter. Her keen sense told her that

Dolores was acting abnormally, “Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Dolores could tell that Jessica didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t press it but instead took the

chance to test her, “Mrs. William wants to start a branch, she wants me to be in charge of it...“

“That’s good news.” Jessica answered.

She pushed her daughter away, “Let me cut the vegetables.”

Dolores stepped back and leaned against the stove, and thought for a bit while, “But the address of the

branch is in China...“

“What?”

Dolores hadn’t had the chance to finish her sentence; Jessica had already interrupted her. She also Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

knew that LEO had a rule: they will never have any branch in any other country.

Mrs. William now wanted to have a branch in China?

Jessica frowned. Weird kinds of stuff were happening one after another recently. She put down the

kitchen knife and wiped her hands on the apron, tugging her daughter’s arm, “Tell me the truth, are

these stuff related to him?”

Dolores figured that Jessica would have to know if she was going back to the country anyway.

Dolores admitted, “Yea…”

“What are you thinking?!” Jessica glared at her angrily. How could she forget her sufferings so fast?

“Tell me, what condition were you in at that time? Where was he when you were in the most difficult

situation? If it wasn’t for Sampson Herbert, how would you still be here? How can you not tell the

difference between good and bad?”

Dolores twisted her head. Indeed she was reluctant to return to the country, partly because of what

happened in the past, and partly because of Matthew Nelson.

She knew it was a trade, but when he proposed a divorce, she was somehow sad.

After the car crash, she became even more exhausted, both physically and mentally.

That was why she didn’t want to go back to the place where it would make her think about things.

“Mrs. William was firm on her stance, if I don’t go back, I’m going to lose my job.” Dolores was the only

breadwinner in the family; this job was critical to her.

Jessica picked up the kitchen knife again, slicing potatoes one by one. She was silent for a while and

said, “I mean, you can go back.”

Dolores was taken aback; Jessica actually agreed.

“But under one condition.”

Dolores sighed; she knew it won’t be that easy.

“Promise me you’ll marry Sampson, and then I’ll agree.” Jessica said her condition.

Compared to Matthew, Jessica was more optimistic about Sampson, who had helped Dolores several

times.

“Mom...“

“This is not up to negotiation. You want to jump back into the fire, I can’t just push you. You are my

daughter; I’m doing this for your own good. What’s wrong with Sampson? He’s handsome, he has the

power. Most importantly, he likes you. How many men can wait for six years...” Jessica looked at her

daughter seriously, “Is your heart made of stone? Can’t you see how many has he done?”

Indeed, Sampson was excellent. He accompanied her during her most challenging moment, helping

her and her family.

All these, she knew it too.

“But I...”

“If he minded about you giving birth before, would he still wait for you?” Jessica also had concerns

about Sampson minding Dolores giving birth before, but Sampson changed her mind with his actions.

If he minded, he would’ve not accompanied Dolores for so long.

Dolores was still young, but she couldn’t stay unmarried for the rest of her life. Jessica thinks that

Sampson was the best candidate for her.

Compared to that person who, even though they knew Dolores was pregnant, still insisted on

completing the marriage deal, Sampson was miles better!

Dolores lowered her head; what Jessica said had her points.

But what Jessica didn’t know was Sampson’s mother had approached her before.

Dolores was a human, too; she had a heart too. Of course she had some feelings for Sampson once.

After all, he treated her well.

But Dolores wasn’t planning to tell Jessica about this. Jessica was always worried about her future,

afraid that she had her kids, hard to find someone who’s suitable.

If she told Jessica that Sampson’s mother approached her before, telling her that she hopes Sampson

not to marry Dolores, Jessica would be upset about her future, overthinking her future.

“Mom, marrying someone that I don’t like won’t make me happy either.”

“But he likes you, treats you well, isn’t that all you need? Feelings can be cultivated, as soon as you get

married and live together, you’ll meet each other every day. Naturally, feelings will appear.” Jessica was

trying hard to persuade Dolores.

Dolores was helpless. She lowered her head and rubbed her forehead, feeling an unprecedented

sense of exhaustion.

Jessica didn’t understand Matthew’s coercing.

She was feeling helpless.

“Mommy.”

Samuel was standing at the kitchen entrance; even though he was a small figure, he stood upright. He

had heard everything Dolores and Jessica said; he knew everything about what they said.

“Mommy, we’re from China. Sister and I have never go back to our hometown, now that we can go

back, isn’t that a good thing?” Samuel looked at Dolores and Jessica with an innocent look.

“You’re just a kid, what do you know?” Jessica waved her hand, suggesting him to go back to the living

room.

“Even though I’m young, I still have my human rights, I can make my decision. I am in favor of mommy

going back.” Samuel looked extremely serious, “I was born by mommy, naturally, I’m from China. Of

course we’re going back.”

Dolores looked at Jessica; they had never mentioned their father.

Dolores had only said once about Sampson’s research. It was said that their father could be from A

country, but their looks grew like Dolores, making them look like people from China, with no hint of any

A country’s genetic characteristics.

This was one of the things Dolores was happy about – that was her kids had the same skin color as

her.

He was not a child with blond hair and blue eyes.

“Samuel.” Dolores called her son.

“Mommy, let’s go back. I want to see mommy’s hometown anyways.” Samuel blinked, looking at her

with hopes.

Dolores went over to hug Samuel, tightly hugging him; her emotion was getting somewhat sad, so she

didn’t dare talk.

Jessica couldn’t bring herself to talk any heavy words, but her stance was still firm, “You should

consider what I said.”

“Grandma, Mommy doesn’t like uncle, why must you let them be together?” Samuel looked like a man-

child, “I think mommy deserves better.”

Jessica snorted; what did he know when he was still young?

“Tell me, what does your mommy deserve?”

Samuel tilted his head, “Not telling you.”

That was because Samuel was still finding.

He asked for his teacher’s advice, and his teacher said, just like his mother’s situation, she needs to

find someone more handsome and more prosperous than her ex-husband for her to abandon that

person who left her first.

Let him know that abandoning his mommy was his loss!

He had information about Matthew, which he was in China. This was why he had to go back.

As his teacher said, if you know your enemy well, you’ll win.

For that Sampson didn’t meet his requirement; even though he was better than normal people, he was

still far from Matthew.

His mommy can never marry someone worse than Matthew.

He must be better than him!
