Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 138: Keep Her beside Him

She turned around to see Matthew standing behind her. With the light behind his head, she couldn’t
make out his expressions clearly and could only squint to try to see.

The receptionist took the card in Matthew’s hand and said, “The total bill of both rooms is 12080.”

“Oh! So, sister-in-law Dolores drove the car here.” Armand blurted out. Dolores lowered her head and
put her card back inside her bag. She asked Matthew softly, “Are you going back?”

Before Matthew could answer, Armand took the lead, “It’s so early, what is all this about going back?
Besides…” He pointed to Matthew and Dolores, “You both still owe me a celebratory drink for your
wedding. Let’s do it tonight!”

Matthew did not object and his eyes were hiding in the elusive light, not showing his heart.

Dolores only felt embarrassed, especially at the awkward way Armand addressed her.

“I am not going; you guys can go ahead.” She turned to leave but Matthew grabbed her wrist, “Wait for
me.”

Dolores wanted to get away from him but he was holding her wrist too tightly for her to let herself free.

By this time, the receptionist had settled the bill and handed the card back with the receipt, “Your total
is 12080.”

Matthew put the card and the bill in his wallet and said lightly, “Let’s go!”

Armand had no intention to let them go that easily and he stepped in front of them, “If you don’t take
me for a drink tonight, I will never let you go.”

He stood in front of them stubbornly.



Theresa, who was standing behind them, stepped back quietly, wanting to leave. Armand saw in the
mirror that the woman behind them was secretly trying to leave.

Armand had seen that she had come out of the room with Dolores just now, which meant that they
knew each other. He turned around and grabbed her, “Don’t go.”

Theresa was startled and stared at him in horror.

“Don’t be afraid, you are my sister-in-law’s friend, right?” Armand grinned with his dazzling white teeth
in her face.

She glanced at Dolores and nodded, “I am her assistant.”

“Oh! What do you guys do?”

“Costume design.”

“Oh! What a coincidence, I have been yearning to order some clothes.”

“Well, our store is opening the day after tomorrow. I would love to invite you to come.” Theresa replied
smoothly.

What?

Armand blinked blankly, “You have a store opening the day after tomorrow?”

Theresa nodded.

Armand hugged Boyce, who was watching this excitedly and tugged at his neck, “Our sister-in-law is
opening her store, of course we have to go there to cheer her on.”

“Yeah.” Boyce answered.



He felt that even though Matthew and Dolores were divorced, they had children together and it was
only a matter of time before they were going to be remarried. Judging from Matthew’s behavior, he did
seem to care about her a lot.

This was great and they had to go to the opening even if they didn’t have time.

Armand smiled, his lips red and teeth white, “Dolores, if you don’t take us for a drink tonight, I will not
leave here.”

He was really shameless.

Dolores frowned.

She looked at Matthew, hoping that he would talk to his friend.

Hoping that he wouldn’t let her be embarrassed.

What celebratory drinks for wedding?

What celebration?

Matthew pretended to not have seen her gaze. He continued to hold her hand and playing with it.

He did not reject Armand’s wish.

When he married Dolores, there was nothing and he didn’t even introduce her to his best friends.

He was inexplicably pleased by Armand calling her his sister-in-law.

He had not introduced her to his friends before because he was not interested in her.

At that time, he didn’t want this marriage.



But now it was different, he wanted to keep this marriage and keep her besides him.

Now, he wanted to show her off.

Plus, Armand and Boyce were his good friends.

He wanted to let them know.

“If Dolores is busy, then we can go first. Boyce and I can go for drinks with her.” Armand grabbed
Theresa’s arm and began to leave.

“Dolores!” Theresa shouted in panic.

“Wait.” Dolores had no choice but to agree.

“Let her go.”

Armand had done it deliberately. He knew that the woman Matthew was in love with would never be too
easy going; she would not just stand and watch her assistant being pulled away and stay indifferent.

It turned out that he was right.

He let Theresa go.

She quickly stepped back, increasing the distance between her and Armand.

He looked more like a terrifying monster than a human.

“Let’s go then. I will decide where to and it’s my treat today.” Armand was in a good mood but Boyce
poured cold water on him with his words, “Yeah? You, the cheapskate of the century, will pay?”

As long as Matthew was there, he never paid.



Armand glared at him, “Don’t ruin my reputation in front of the beautiful women. I am very generous!”

Boyce smiled and got into his car.

“You get in my car.” Armand beckoned Theresa.

Theresa waves her hands quickly, “No, no, you guys go on ahead. I will go back now.”

“What are you afraid of? I don’t eat people.” Armand smiled.

Theresa still refused, “I have other plans.”

She casually found and excuse.

After saying that, she turned around and left with a quick goodbye to Dolores.

Dolores bid her goodbye, “Okay, be careful.”

Theresa nodded. When she walked to the side of the road, she realized that there was a problem.
There were no taxis passing by. Everyone who came to eat there had their own car to drive back.

She gave her car to Allison. What was she going to do now?

“Come with us. There is no taxi here.” Armand parked his car beside her.

Theresa wanted to find Dolores but by this time she was already in Matthew’s car.

“You don’t want to disturb them husband and wife, do you?”

“No.”

“Come on, I’ll drop you.”



Theresa stood her ground nervously, “Um, no thanks!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

Theresa said with certainty.

She was not blind. She knew that they were a group of extraordinary people and she didn’t want to
provoke such a person.

Boyce looked like an honest person but Armand looked like a playboy.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with a grease ball like him.

Armand was rejected again and again and his enthusiasm was also running low.

He raised the window, and looked at Theresa for a while.

She looked funny to him, too careful in his opinion.

He wasn’t a bad person.

Why was she wary of him as if he was a thief?

After his car disappeared in the distance, Theresa had no choice but to call Allison to come pick her up.

The place chosen by Armand was a high-end bar.

The time of the night was lively, the nightlife was just beginning.



The big lounge on the second floor was spacious and had a great view. They could see the entire bar
and the dance floor down at the first floor. Men and women were dancing recklessly around in the red
and green lights.

Armand stood in front of the railing on the second floor with a glass of wine dangling in his hand as he
swayed his legs around sloppily looking like an idiot.

Boyce had long been accustomed to his behavior; he didn’t find it strange.

“Behave yourself!” He reminded Armand.

Today, Dolores was with them too.

Armand was also surprised that he went that far. He quickly sat down and corrected his slouchy
appearance, “Sister-in-law, I introduced myself last time. You still remember me, right?”

Dolores fixed her hair behind her ear, trying to not look embarrassed at the way he addressed her, ‘I
remember.”

“This is Boyce Shawn.” Armand smiled, putting his hand on Boyce’s shoulder, “He is also mine and
Matthew’s friend.”

Boyce elbowed him in his ribs, “Do I not have a mouth? I can talk for myself.”

“I am afraid that you won’t be able to talk properly. Remember when you used to try to talk to girls in
college? Blushing and… Ow!”

“Oh, did it hurt? I didn’t realize.” Boyce pinched him harder. He had been trained seriously, Armand with
his soft and tender skin was no match for him.

He wrinkled his face in pain.



Dolores could see that they had a strong friendship beyond their squabbles.

She leaned towards Matthew and whispered, “I am going to the bathroom.”

Matthew let go of her hand and hummed faintly.

Dolores got up and left, following the signs to find the bathroom.

Unfortunately, as she was entering, someone walked out and bumped into her at the door.
