Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 89: Dog that Bites
Seeing Matthew, Maria almost rushed over, stretching her arms to embrace him.
Matthew stepped aside and dodged. As she was running so fast, Maria couldn’t stop even after she had missed the target. She couldn’t help staggering forward, her ankle twisting.
“Ouch...” she exclaimed. Her legs weakened, falling on the ground.
Abbott stood aside. He had chance to hold her up but he didn’t reach out.
Before she became the family member of the Herbert family, she even flattered Abbott sometimes. After all, he was a man who Matthew trusted very much, so she was willing to put a little effort on Abbott.
However, since she returned to the Herbert family and became their daughter, she had been arrogant and put on the air whenever she met Abbott again.
Hence, Abbott became quite unhappy. He didn’t like her as he used to.
Now Maria was a girl from a rich family.
Abbott was just an assistant. So they were not from the same world.
Maria fell on the ground, her knees skinned, her carefully-made hair messed. She looked quite embarrassed.
Raising her head, she looked at Matthew. “Matthew...”
She could not accept the coldness and disregard from him.
He used to treat her lovingly.
His current attitude brought her sense of frustration as if she had fallen down from the heaven to the hell.
She couldn’t accept it at all.
Trembling, she looked at the man standing in front of her. “Matthew...”
Tears welled up in her tears. Her tone was full of grievance and ingratiation.
Matthew walked to her, squatting down. He reached to brush away the messy hair that covered her cheeks.
Looking at her face carefully, Matthew seemingly to see her true color through her features.
“Matthew...”
“Stop calling me,” he interrupted Maria.
Maria was startled, still couldn’t accept the fact.
“How many things have you hidden from me?” he asked in an extremely low voice, as if he was suppressing something in his heart.
Things flashed through Maria’s mind, as if all movie scenes were replaying. She was thinking about the hidden meaning of Matthew’s question.
Suddenly her pupils shrank sharply. It seemed that he had heard her conversation with Dolores.
“Nothing,” she denied.
“Nothing?” Matthew sneered.
