Chapter 3: I Should Marry You


    After changing, Dolores got out of the changing room and once again looked towards the changing


    room at the left. The door was already tightly closed. “It matches your temperament.” The salesperson


    had a good judgment and taste in fashion; she could pick the clothes that fit her customers by just


    looking at them. The long pale blue dress Dolores wore made her skin look even paler. The ribbon


    around her waist had highlighted her slim waist. She looked a bit underweight but her looks was


    already delicate.


    Feeling satisfied of the dress choice, Randolph went to pay for the dress. He then only realized the


    dress cost more than thirty thousand yuan. But having thought that it was the Nelson family she was


    going to meet, he gritted his teeth and paid the money. He then spoke with a cold voice. “Let’s go.”


    Dolores had long felt his cruelty, yet the indifference still made her slightly ufortable and


    heartache. She lowered her head and followed after him to the car.


    The car soon stopped at the main entrance of the Flores vi. The chauffeur opened the car door for


    Randolph. Randolph stooped and got out of the car followed by Dolores. Standing in front of the vi,


    Dolores was in a trance for a few seconds. When she and her mother had been living a hell-like life due


    to her brother’s illness, her father was happily living in such a stylish vi enjoying life with the other


    woman. She could not help but clench her fists.


    “Why are you still standing there?” Having sensed that she was not following him, Randolph turned and


    saw her stupefied at the entrance. Dolores quickly went after him. Being told that the Nelson family still


    had not arrived by the maidens, Randolph made her wait at the living room.


    A piano was ced near the French window of the living room. It was from Seidel and was made in


    Germany. The price was exorbitant. It was bought by her mother for her during her fifth birthday. She


    liked it since young and started learning piano when she was four and a half years old. After being sent


    away, she had not touched piano ever since. She could not help but extend her hand towards it, feeling


    familiar and excited at the same time. She slightly exerted force on her forefinger which was ced on


    a piano key and a melodious crispy sound was heard. Because she had not yed it for a long time,


    her fingers had been very stiff.


    “Who’s allowed you to touch my thing?” A loud and clear voice with anger was heard behind her. Her


    thing? Dolores turned and saw Annabelle Flores standing behind her with aggression. She


    remembered she was one year younger than her and had turned seventeen this year. She had


    inherited Beh Shawn’s good looks. It was just that her contorted face had made her looked quite


    ferocious at the moment.


    “Yours?” They had destroyed her mother’s marriage and spent the money that was supposed to be


    theirs. And now even her mother’s gift to her had be hers now? She slowly clenched her fists and


    secretly kept on telling herself not to act on impulse because she still had no capability to seize the

    things belonged to her now. She had to endure it! She was no longer the little girl that only knew how to


    cry after being abandoned by her father eight years ago, she had now grown up!


    “You’re…Dolores Flores?” Annabelle only then remembered that today was the day the Nelson family


    came and her father had brought Dolores and her mother back here. She could still remember


    Dolores’s pitiful look when Randolph wanted to send them abroad. She was kneeling on the ground


    while putting her arms around Randolph’s leg, pleading him not to send her away.


    “Are you extremely happy now when dad finally brings you back?” Annabelle crossed her arms in front


    of her chest and stared at her with contempt. “You shouldn’t be happy though, as the reason dad brings


    you back is to let you marry the son of the Nelson family, and it’s said that the son---” As she spoke,


    she covered her mouth and jeered. She could not help but gloat over her misfortune when she had to


    marry a disabled man. Marriage is a big lifetime event, having married such a man would mean the rest


    of her life was ruined.


    Dolores frowned, and it was at this time, a maiden walked in. “The Nelson family is here.” Randolph


    specially weed them in by himself. Dolores turned and saw a man who was sitting on a wheelchair


    being pushed inside. He had a clear-cut facial feature and a charming look. Even though he was


    wheelchair-bound, nobody dared to show contempt towards him.


    Seeing his face, Dolores realized he was actually the man who was flirting with a woman at the


    changing room. Was he actually the eldest son of the Nelson family? Yet back at the changing room,


    she had witnessed with her own eyes that he could actually stand up when he put her arms around the


    woman, and his legs seemed perfectly fine. What was going on?


    When she was still figuring why the man pretended he wasme, Randolph called her. “Dolores,e


    here. This is the eldest son of the Nelson family.” He then lowered his shoulder to show deference and


    smiled tteringly while stooping. “Mr. Nelson, this is L.” He actually felt sorry that a dignified man


    with charming looks like him had actually be disabled.


    Matthew’s eyes fell onto Dolores and gauged she was still at a young age. Seeing her being too skinny


    as if suffered from malnutrition, he wrinkled his eyebrows. It was a marriage arranged by his mother,


    and in addition to that, his mother had passed away. As a son, he could not break the promise. And it


    was because of that, he spread the word that he was not detoxified and had goneme after being


    identally bitten by a poisonous snake abroad, just to make the Flores family changed their mind.


    However, the Flores family did not do so.


    Matthew fell into silence and his look went even gloomier. Randolph thought he was dissatisfied and he


    quickly exined. “She’s still young and has just turned eighteen. After being raised well, she must be


    a beauty.” Matthew secretly sneered. He could not tell whether she was a beauty or not, but he did


    sense Randolph’s aberrant behavior that he wanted to marry his daughter to him so much without even


    caring that he was a “cripple”. With an icy look, he lifted one of his eyebrows. “I’m injured during my


    business trip abroad, and I’m afraid I can no longer walk, and can’t fulfill a husband’s duty---”


    “I don’t mind that.” Dolores replied instantly. Randolph had promised her that as long as she


    sumbed to the marriage, he would return her mother’s dowry. Even if it meant marrying and getting


    divorced the next day, she would agree to that. With some moment of digestion, she had understood


    everything behind these. The man could obviously stand, yet he chose to sit on a wheelchair, and she


    guessed it was because of that woman. He did not want to keep his promise and wanted the Flores


    family to cancel the marriage. Yet he had not expected that Randolph was willing to sacrifice his one


    unloved daughter to fulfill the promise.


    Matthew narrowed his eyes and gazed at her. Dolores felt a chill down her spine by his gaze and felt


    bitter. Why would she want to marry him? If she did not agree to that, how would she be able to return


    to her home country and seize back everything that was taken away? She dragged the corner of her


    lips and forced out a smile. Only she knew the bitterness and grievance behind that smile. “We’re


    destined to marry each other since child, therefore no matter what you be, I should marry you.”


    Matthew’s eyes grew more brooding at once. That woman was good at talking. Randolph did not sense


    any abnormality and he asked carefully, “So, regarding the wedding date---” Matthew’s expression


    changed in a split second and went back to normal. “ording to the promise, it was already fixed


    between two families, how could we break the promise?” Dolores lowered her eyes and did not dare to


    look at him. He was clearly dissatisfied with the marriage. His consent was just because a promise was


    a promise.


    “That’s great.” Randolph was delighted. To connect to the Nelson family via an insignificant daughter


    was certainly a good thing. Although the Flores family was rich too, it was way no match against the


    Nelson’s. He stooped and said with a low voice, “I’ve asked the people to prepare dinner, please have


    the meal here before leaving.” Matthew frowned and was disgusted by his going-after-the-wealth-and-


    power ttering behavior.


    “No thanks, I still have something to deal with.” He rejected the offer and was pushed by Abbott Baron


    to the outside on the wheelchair. Upon passing by Dolores, he raised his hand gesturing Abbott to stop


    and lifted his eyes. “Is Miss Flores free afterwards?”
