Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 998

Although she couldn’t get a good look at that face, from his back and overall image, that person resembled Stanford a lot.

Joshua frowned, “Are you sure about that?”

Bonnie shook her head, “I didn’t see his face, so I can’t say I am one hundred per cent sure. But if I am right, what do you think he is coming to City C for?”

“He still dares to come here?” Joshua’s face was frigid. Bonnie hastily clutched his hand, afraid that he would do something reckless, “Didn’t mum tell us that we shouldn’t have anything to do with him anymore? Don’t you go look for him when the steam gets to your head? If mum knows about that, I wouldn’t know whether she would be angry. Things are looking fine as they are now.”

Although the one who almost caused Amanda’s death was not Stanford and no one would want him to pay up with his life, everything did still start from his divorce from Amanda. He wasn’t the direct cause, but he still indirectly led to the development of things.

It was best for everyone if they all had nothing to do with each other anymore. If she were to really see him again, all she would remember were those unhappy things in the past.

The best thing to do here was to turn Stanford into a stranger.

At least, this was what she thought.

Joshua replied, “I know.”

He patted Bonnie and said, “Sleep earlier. I am going back to my room.”

As he said that, he was getting up too, but Bonnie stopped him and looked up at him, “Do it discreetly. Make sure nobody knows.”

Joshua was caught off guard for a moment before he broke into a smile, “How do you know what I am planning to do?”

“Of course I know. You still have the connections Mr. Adams have left for you, so I surmise that you must want to find people to give Stanford a good beating. However, you won’t show up yourself so that you won’t exactly go against your mum’s wishes too. Am I right?”

“Do you know me that well?” This was what Joshua was planning in his heart.

“Of course, if I don’t know you that well, how dare I marry you? Some more…”

She knelt on the sofa and wrapped her arms around Joshua’s neck, “I agree with what you want to do. He almost caused the death of sis, so a good beating is already light enough punishment for him. I will keep this a secret for your sake.”

Joshua felt a warm current spreading out in his heart. He held her waist and carried her up, which caused her pyjamas to roll up and revealed her pale white waist. Joshua put her onto the bed and pulled down her pyjamas. He covered her with a blanket and said, “Sleep earlier. Wait for my good news.”

Bonnie nodded.

Joshua was a little hesitant at the moment. A dark hue entered his eyes as he wished for the fast advancement of their marriage. He wanted to hug her to sleep as soon as possible.

However, things as they were now, he wasn’t allowed to do that. He left the room and returned to his room. He took out his phone and made a call to send someone to investigate the tenancy of a hotel. He must first make sure whether Stanford was really in City C.

During breakfast, Matthew announced that he needed to make a trip to City B while eating at the dining table.

“Do you have some unfinished business?” Armand asked.

“I want to pay Noah a visit,” Dolores replied in his stead.

Everyone knew about the relationship between Noah and Dolores.

Armand stopped his probing.

“Let me book your flight for you.” Joshua offered as he was about to go get his phone, but Dolores stopped him, “Your dad has already done that.”

Noah was someone with admirable ranking nowadays.

He was still as respectful as ever towards Dolores and Matthew since he had come to get them personally.

After getting on the jeep, they were taken back to the Harris family home to enjoy a meal. After that, the three of them went to the study to begin some serious conversation.

“Noah, we come here this time because we have something we want to ask you.” Dolores began, “You always tell us that Andrew is carrying out a special mission, and although I understand the nature of his work, we haven’t heard from him for four months. So, I want to ask you, does this special mission not coming to an end anytime soon?”

Noah’s face flashed a momentary discomfort when Andrew appeared in the conversation, but he hastily smiled, “It’s not ending anytime soon. I figure it’s half a year away from that.”

After saying that, he turned around to get some water. He dared not meet Dolores’ eyes.

Matthew who was beside her noticed the fleeting panicking expression on Noah’s face, but he didn’t interrogate him in front of Dolores.

“Back then when you arranged for him to walk this path, we didn’t object to it since naturally, this is what he wants as well. However, in hindsight, we are regretting the decision lately.”

She missed him, and she was busy as ever. Ever since Andrew had enlisted in the military, she could even count on her fingers the number of times they had met.

“Drink some water. Everything will be okay. You know, it’s a special mission in the end, and it’s an order that came directly from our superior. Not many people know about this for his safety’s sake, and those who know about his whereabouts are far and few in between. If his mission were completed, he would have informed you guys, no? Joshua is going to marry, and if he knew that, he would have come back here too. You can see that I can’t get in touch with him too since he’s in the thick of the mission, no?”

Dolores accepted the glass of water and clutched it warily in her hands. She gazed at Noah, “You’re right. If you have any news, you must tell me immediately so that I can rest assured.”

“Got it.” Noah put on an awkward and unnatural smile as he replied.
