Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Chapter 408

“If I could choose, I wouldn't choose to be his son!” Sean shook off Marina's hands and ran out of the house.

Marina sat on the sofa and cried. She also had complaints against Jeffery, “Our son has grown up, and you still talked so harshly. If it were me, I was also angry about it. You were always busy since he was born. The days you stayed in the army were more than that you stayed at home. When he was a child, he was like a fatherless child. As he grew up, you asked him to enlist in the armed force for only a word, and you even beat him when he was not willing to join the army. How could he listen to you? Did you do what a father does? You always say that he has rebelled. Why don't you think about why he rebelled so much against you?”

As she talked, she got more and more aggrieved. Marina also felt aggrieved as she had to take care of the household all by herself. Since her husband was a headstrong man, he would not be gentle with her. To make things worse, her husband and her only son would quarrel with each other whenever they met. Of course, this home did not feel like home.

Marina cried sadly, and the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jeffery complained, “You're not a kid anymore. Why are you still crying? What an embarrassment if others see you crying!”

Marina suddenly stood up and said, “I wanna cry, and I'll cry in this neighborhood. I want to let all the neighbors know it to lose your face.”

“You're irrational!” Jeffery was angry and turned around to leave.

Marina stopped him, “Jeffery, I tell you. I'll divorce you if you quarrel with Noah again in the future.”

Jeffery was stunned. Marina had been managing household affairs diligently and never disobeyed him after marrying him. She even did not say that she wanted to divorce in these years.

“Are you mad?”

“Yes, I'm mad! I'm driven mad because of you. Did I ever ask anything of you after I married you? What I want is we can get along like a family. I always support you regardless of what you do, and I never say no to you. But have you ever been tolerant of me? Have you ever consider my feelings?” Marina talked about her grievances over the years with her face covered in tears, “How many days you were by my side when I was pregnant? When I was pregnant, I went to the hospital for body checkups alone. During the later stage of my pregnancy, my legs cramped, and I couldn't even sleep at night. Where were you at that time, my husband, the father of my son? You never care about me!”

Jeffery stood rooted to the ground. It was the first time Marina lost herself and talked so much in front of him.

No matter how hard-hearted he was, he still had feelings.

He admitted that he had been busy with his career during the young times, and he paid less attention to his family.

However, he would not admit his mistake.

It was his character. Jeffery could not bow to coax his wife and say sorry to her, even if he realized he was wrong.

Jeffery walked over to Marina and took a tissue to wipe her tears, “Don't get angry, okay?”

Marina turned around and did not speak.

Jeffery sighed, “We are at this old age. Do you still want me to coax you?”

Marina cried more loudly.

Jeffery was a straight man and did not know how to be gentle to his wife. Marina never doubted his love, and she also believed that Jeffery would not cheat.

Marina knew his temper well after living with him for most of her life. She could not help but sigh. It was impossible to ask Jeffery to say sorry to her. Marina said to divorce him was to scare him. They would not divorce for real.

However, she felt aggrieved in her heart.

No woman did not desire to be loved.

Marina was an ordinary woman who also wanted to be loved.

She pushed Jeffery away and turned around, and went into the room.

Jeffery stood in the living room, and he was in a fix.

He did not know what to do.

It was the first time he had no idea what to do next in his life.

He sat on the sofa and gave a deep sigh.

He did not go to Matthew.

Sean walked out of the house. He went to Armand instead of Matthew.

Armand had drafted the indictment at this time. Sean stopped him when he was about to go to the court.

“Armand, can I talk to you for a few minutes?”

“I'm not free now,” Armand decisively refused to talk to Sean. He was busy, and he was not free to bullshit with Sean.

Sean did not care about what Armand wanted to do. He pulled Armand to somewhere with nobody. Armand glared at him, “Knock it off. I'm busy now.”

Sean continued to walk forward while said, “I have no-nonsense.”

Armand followed him when he looked at Sean's anxious face.

They walked over to a tranquil place that was next to the tree, and they stopped there. Sean looked at Armand with a serious face, “You tell me, who framed Dolores?”

Armand frowned and asked him in return, “Don't you know?”

He thought that Sean should not be unaware of what Jeffery did as he was Jeffery's son.

Sean narrowed his eyes, “Is my dad?”

Sean was not sure about it and asked in a hesitating tone. He wished that this matter would have nothing to do with Jeffery for sure.

However, Armand gave him a head-on blow with his answer, “Why are you still asking me since you've known about it?”

Sean did not come back to his senses for a few seconds. He thought, “How could it relate to Jeffery?”

“Why would Jeffery do this?” He pondered.

“Hey, are you okay?” Armand patted Sean on his shoulder, “I have to go now. I still have a business to do,” Armand turned around to leave, but he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around again and looked at Sean, “If you have time, you go and persuade your father. They can discuss peacefully without hurting feelings.”

Sean snorted, “He always behaves egoistically. He won't listen to other's words. Nobody can convince him.”

Armand looked at him and knew that Sean could not do anything about it. He put his palm on Sean's shoulder, “Take care yourself.”

Armand knew Sean must be in a difficult position between his father and Matthew.

Armand left quickly after spoke.

“Armand, do you know where is Dolores now?” Sean wanted to see Dolores, and he wondered how she was.

Armand was about to tell him the actual place where Dolores stayed but then hurriedly said, “I don't know.”

It was better for Dolores if nobody disturbed her at this time as her physical condition was weak. Matthew also wished they would not disturb Dolores to rest.

It was apparent that Armand knew where Dolores was. Sean stopped him, “I won't let you go if you don't tell me.”

Armand looked at him, “Why are you so childish?”

Sean ignored him. In a word, Sean would not let Armand go if Armand did not tell him.

Armand could not do anything with Sean, “I'll tell you, but you don't tell Matthew that it's me who tells you where Dolores is.”

Sean said, “Alright.”

Armand finally told him the hospital that Dolores stayed, and then Sean let him go.

Sean parted way with Armand and went straight to the hospital that Dolores stayed.

Sean parked his car and walked into the hospital. He found that Matthew had sealed off the floor where Dolores stayed.

Nobody was able to go to the floor at all.

There were police officers and Matthew's men, and they guarded all of the entrances and exits.

“I'm Ms. Flores's friend. Could you pass a message to her that I'm here? She will see me for sure,” Charles sat in the wheelchair. He knew Dolores's matter since the Herbert family had made a lot of noise of it. He took some time to find out where Dolores was.

Sean saw the person far off, who guarded at the entrance, stopped someone there. He walked over to Charles and looked at him. Sean did not know him at all, “Who are you?”
