Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 1049

Amanda opened the door and it was Joan. She was shocked and asked, “How come you’re here?”

‘How did he know that they were staying there?’ She thought.

Joan seemed nervous when he asked her, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Amanda was puzzled.

“Then how come I received a message from your brother that you’re in danger? He even told me the address and asked me to come to rescue you…” Then Joan seemed to realize something.

Amanda was shocked by this. How did Joshua know her travel details and address?

“Come in.” She said. He had rushed over from so far away and she should not keep him waiting outside.

Joan entered the room and she quickly poured a glass of water for him and said, “Have a seat.”

Amanda went into the bathroom and called Joshua, “What’s happening?”

“What?” Joshua quickly realized what was happening and asked, “You’ve met Joan?”

He leaned back into his seat and placed his feet on the table and said, “How can I be at ease knowing that you brought grandma out? Of course, I needed to know your itinerary. Now that you’re in B city, you may meet someone that you should not. I asked Joan to go, firstly because I am helping him as he likes you. I’m giving both of you a chance to get to know each other better. Secondly, I’m helping you in case you’re conned again.” Joshua explained.

“Joshua, I will settle my own things…” Amanda snapped back at him.

“Don’t refuse me if you don’t want mom and dad to worry,” Joshua said mischievously.

Amanda was speechless. She could not rebut him.

“Can you inform me of your plans in the future and not give me a fright?” Amanda demanded.

“Okay, I’ll inform you in the future.” Joshua gave an empty assurance. Now that Joan was there, there was no way Amanda could demand that he left.

“There are many nice spots there. Go and visit them with Joan.”

“None of your business!” Amanda hung up the call.

Joshua laughed gleefully. He agreed with Bonnie that Joan was a good man. Furthermore, he could not accept that Amanda and Stanford had any future together. He wanted to make sure that there was no possibility of them getting back together. Tragedy could only happen once and not be repeated!

Amanda kept her phone and came out of the bathroom.

At this moment, Joan also realized what was happening and asked, “If it’s inconvenient that I remain, I’ll leave first thing tomorrow.” Initially, he also felt odd that Joshua asked him to come instead of Joshua coming personally. Now he realized that Joshua did this to set him up with Amanda.

Yes, he indeed liked Amanda but he did not want to force anyone. He also did not want to impose. Even now, he would consider Amanda’s standpoint.

“No need!” She shook her head and continued, “Let’s look for a place for a drink.”

Joan nodded and agreed.

“Wait a minute. I need to change.” She said.

“I’ll wait outside.” Joan was about to leave when Amanda called out to him, “Just sit on the sofa and give me a minute.” Joan obliged and sat on the sofa.

“Where do you intend to go?” Joan asked.

“My grandma misses the villages and we should be going to the place where we lived and walk down memory lane.” She laughed.

Joan replied, “That’s for sure. We should go.”

“Why?” Amanda was puzzled why he was interested in going.

“To better understand you,” Joan said factually. He was also very direct in expressing his feelings for Amanda.

Amanda pursed her lips and did not know how to continue. Some words could not be said too many times.

“I won’t pressurize you and will never force you. There is no need to repay me for anything. We are both adults and know what we want.” He looked at Amanda and continued, “If my presence brings any inconvenience to you, you must tell me immediately. I will not make things difficult for you.”

“This way please.”

A woman entered at this moment. She was wearing the latest Chanel collection. She walked by and left a trail of scent from the perfume that she wore. She sat at an empty table next to them.

“I won’t order now. I’m waiting for someone.” She said as she placed her Louis Vuitton bag on her lap and twirled her hair. The waiter acknowledged and left.

The woman did not affect them.

Joan’s admittance that he liked her but would not pester her made her feel positive about Joan. She then said, “Okay. If I decide to reconcile with him, it would definitely be inappropriate for you to remain. When that happened, I’ll let you leave.”

Joan was startled and he appeared to be disappointed. However, Amanda saw this and laughed, “I’m only joking.”
