Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 979

Amanda scoffed and said, “Regret? What use is his regret if I had died?”

George was stumped by all her questions and stammered, “But… but, you both were once in love…”

Amanda felt that it was ridiculously amusing. Had she not said enough?

“George, are you a fool, or are you trying to act like a fool to me? Yes, I once loved him but he used me for his schemes. Now I no longer have any feelings towards him. That’s why from then on there is no longer love between us.” She had to suppress her anger to get these words out.

George understood what Amanda meant. However, he came to attempt to convince Amanda to reconcile with his brother. Hence he had to use another point of view. No one would forgive Stanford if things were considered from Amanda’s angle.

The only option was to say that Stanford made a mistake and now he regretted his mistake and was willing to change. Everyone deserved a second chance.

“Please give my brother another chance. He’s injured and misses you. Can you go and see him?” George pleaded.

Amanda sternly refused, “Impossible! Go away!”

“Can’t you visit him on the count of me coming all this way to look for you?” George pleaded again. There would still be a chance for Stanford if she was willing to visit him.

“Please leave.” Amanda turned to walk towards the courtyard.

George became agitated and said, “What will it take for you to give my brother a chance?”

“All his regrets cannot take away my pain and bring back my child! Why should I forgive him? And you’d better leave now or I will scream for help!” Amanda was at the limit of her tolerance. There was no need for any more explanations.

Joan was standing nearby observing their interaction. He did not intend to eavesdrop on Amanda’s personal affairs. He was just worried that she would be hurt. He walked over when he saw George grabbing her arm.

Joan spoke sternly to George, “Please leave immediately.”

George looked at Joan, sized him up, and then asked, “Who are you? How are you involved with my sister-in-law?”

He became agitated and pointed to Amanda while saying to Joan, “Let me tell you, she’s my brother’s woman. You’d better stay away from her or I will come for you!”

Joan was stunned. All along he thought that George was Amanda’s ex-husband. When he heard George say that she was his sister-in-law, he finally understood.

He was secretly relieved as he was worried that Amanda’s ex-husband would pester her and even more worried that she would agree to a reconciliation. Thank goodness this was not the case.

He softly said to Amanda, “Go ahead into the house. I will settle this.”

Amanda looked at George and said definitively, “There is no longer anything between Stanford and me. Please leave.” After saying this, she thanked Joan and walked into the house.

George panicked, “Amanda…”

“Please leave now or I will summon my men.” Joan interrupted and blocked George from taking another step closer to the house.

“Don’t think that I don’t know why you interrupted me. You like my sister-in-law?” He asked but he was certain of it and continued, “Otherwise you would not stop me.”

“Ms. Nelson is single. Is there anything wrong for me to pursue her?” Joan asked.

"What time is your flight. I'll send you off." Joan said.

"Four o’clock in the afternoon.” She said and then she remembered, “Oh, this is for you…” She removed the necklace around her neck.

“This…” Joan stammered, “I want you to have it.”

Amanda removed it, “This is too expensive. I can’t accept it without any reasons.”

She turned to enter the house to replace the necklace in its case.

George remained outside and became even more flustered. His sister-in-law was about to be snatched by another man. He needed to inform Stanford so that he can think of something.

It was already late in the night. Stanford woke up after a bad dream and could not fall asleep thereafter. George called and Stanford saw his cell phone blinking and ringing away but he was calm and had no intention of answering it.

On the other end, George was panicking and repeatedly called Stanford. Stanford was frustrated by the endless calls and finally answered.

“Were you asleep?” George thought that he just woke up. He knew that it was already late in the night.

“What’s up?” Stanford calmly asked.

“Listen, but don’t be agitated.”
