Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 159: My Daughter Is The Prettiest

Jessica didn’t beat around the bush and said what was in her heart, “I don’t know what is going on
between you and Dolores. I just think, if you and Dolores can’t be together then I want the children to
be raised by me and her…”

Jessica’s mind had travelled quite far, she had thought about it too much.

If Dolores could make a home with Matthew, it was good. If not, she hoped that Matthew was not going
to try and win the custody of the children.

If he really wanted to win, she and Dolores were never going to be able to win.

So, she clearly expressed her feeling beforehand.

“She and I did not apply for a divorce.” Even though it was not an explanation, it was still better to
explain, “We are still husband and wife in the eyes of law. I like your daughter, not because she gave
birth to my children, but because I like her for who she is.”

Jessica sighed in relief. This was of course good.

She just didn’t know how to respond to his bluntness.

“I have to go to Country A for a business trip, she will be going with me. We may not come back for a
couple of days and we will have to trouble you with Samuel and Simona. I have arranged for someone
outside the villa, if you need to go out, take them with you.” He explained.

He had still not found Dolores. He was afraid that Jessica was going to get worried and that the
children were going to look for her too.

So, he deliberately told Jessica that she was going on a business trip with him.



“Okay, I will take care of them.”

After talking to him, Jessica felt much better.

“Simona…”

“She is in my room.” Jessica seemed to know what he was about to ask so she quickly replied, “She
woke up last night calling for Dolores, I couldn’t do anything but to bring her to my room to sleep. I
coaxed her for a long time before she finally went to sleep. She should still be asleep right now.”

Before she finished talking, they heard a soft voice, “Mommy… Daddy.”

She was wearing pajamas with little yellow ducks printed on them, her skin was white and soft. With
her messy hair and fair face, Simona threw herself at Matthew, sweetly calling, “Daddy…”

Matthew took her into his arms.

She put her arms around his neck and kissed him, as if making up for Samuel not letting her to be
close to her father, “I missed you.”

Actually, she was afraid that Matthew was going to be angry at her and was not going to want her
anymore.

Her wish to somehow please him was hidden in her voice.

Matthew brushed her hair away from her forehead, exposing her entire face. Her full forehead, big
watery eyes and innocent face looked very cute.

He rubbed his thumb lightly on her cheek, “Missed me? Where?”

Simona rolled her small eyes and clutched her chest, pointing to her heart, “Missed you in my heart.”



“Didn’t Mommy come back with you?”

Unable to find Dolores, her eyes searched everywhere.

Matthew’s throat constricted, his face still calm, “Your Mommy had something to do, so she didn’t come
back…”

At this moment, the cellphone in Matthew’s pocket vibrated.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was a call form Boyce. He didn’t pick it up right away. Instead, he put
Simona down and patted her on her head, “Daddy has to answer a call.”

Simona was obedient, then Jessica came over and said, “I will take her to wash up and change her
clothes.”

“That will be good.” Matthew nodded.

Seeing Jessica lead Simona into the room, Matthew walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window to
answer the call.

When the call was connected, “We have found her.”

It was as if an electric current had travelled throughout his body, stimulating every cell in Matthew’s
body.

Boyce said he found her?

His pupils were very dark. He thought he was being very calm but his voice was not calm at all as he
asked, “Where are you now?”

“Outside the city. I will send you the location.”



When the call was disconnected, Matthew received the information about the location from Boyce.

He opened the location. At this moment, Simona stretched out her head from the room, “Daddy, are
you going out?”

Matthew paused and turned to look back at her, “Yes, I am going out.”

“When will you be back?” Simona asked.

“I will be back as soon as my work is done.”

Matthew didn’t give her a specific time. He didn’t know how long it was going to take and he didn’t want
to disappoint her.

“Then will you be back with Mommy?” Simona asked again.

“Yeah.” He made the sound from deep in his chest, dull but extraordinarily firm.

Simona grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth, her eyes curled into twinkling crescents, “Then I
will wait for Daddy and Mommy to come back together.”

Matthew pondered for two seconds and then said, “Okay.”

He walked over and squatted in front of her. He looked at her and rubbed her hair messily.

Simona tilted her head and blinked cutely, “Are you looking at how pretty I am?”

His voice was hoarse, “My daughter is the prettiest!”

“Do I look more like Mommy or like Daddy?” Simona held his arm, wanting to ask him to spend more
time with her.



Looking closely at her face, her nose, mouth, brows and eyes all looked like Dolores.

Especially when she laughed, her eyes crinkled into crescents.

“You look like Mommy and also like me.”

“Okay now.” Knowing Simona’s wishes, Jessica picked her up, “Your Daddy has something to do.
Come with me and change your clothes.”

Simona’s face fell at once, and she pursed her lips, “I just want to stay with Daddy for a little while.”

“He will be back soon.” Jessica coaxed her.

Giving a final glance to the house, Matthew walked out of the villa, got into the car and turned on the
Bluetooth of his phone and connected the location to the car GPS.

He started the car quickly and drove to the destination.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and by the time he got there, the sun had already come out
and the clouds in the east looked red as if they were burning with fire. The morning mist had
disappeared and life seemed to have restored back to normal.

When the car reached the destination, he saw a burnt-out van parked in the wasteland in the outskirts
of the city and it was surrounded by police cordon.

He didn’t know why but the closer he got the more flustered his heart felt.

Maria didn’t hurt her, Dolores wasn’t hurt, right?

He had no idea.



His usual calm pace was a little messy. Boyce lifted up the cordon and got out from under it, “Here you
are!”

“Where is she?”

“In my car.” Boyce walked towards his car and pulled opened the door to show a thin figure curled up in
the back seat. Her hair was messy and her face dirty, but otherwise she looked unhurt. Matthew
breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, she is okay.” Boyce felt thankful, “She must be very tired, she fell asleep.”

He closed the car door, seemingly afraid of waking up the woman in the car, “You can take my car, I will
take yours in a bit.”

Boyce extended his car keys.

Matthew did not answer him but asked in return, “What is the situation now?”

When we got here, the van was on fire and she had twisted her foot and fallen down not far from the
van. She was awake and said that someone wanted to burn her to death and had tied her to the seat.
She was able to free herself and flee just…”

Matthew’s hands clenched into fists suddenly, “Was there no one else here at that time?”

“No, whoever it was must have left after setting it ablaze. I sent people to see if anyone can be found
nearby.” Boyce knew that no one knew when that person had left and it was almost impossible to find
them, “Fortunately she is fine and we also have Maria in our hands so it’s no big deal.”

Matthew frowned slightly, doubts rising in his heart.



“Why don’t you take her to the hospital to have her foot injury checked?” Boyce gave him the car key
again, “At that time, she said she was fine so I didn’t call an ambulance.”

This time, Matthew took the keys and got into the car. He took Dolores to the hospital for a check-
up.
