Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Jessica's dull eyes sparkled for a moment but then she became sullen for a while as she was pondering her relationship with Kevin Forbis. She then said, "I don't know." She only knew that she felt very contented when she was with Kevin although he was not a very homely person. Neither was he detailed but he was very dependable which made her feel safe and assured.

"Amanda, do you think that there is life after death?" Jessica asked. She did not believe this in the past but now she began to hope for it.

"If there is, I wish that I can meet him earlier and spend my youthful days with him, bear him children and live my life with him," Jessica said softly as her voice began to crack. She could no longer hide her emotions. But who has a life without regrets?

"I saw something on the internet which said," Amanda held onto Jessica's hand, "A man's current wife was someone he buried in the previous life. So that meant that since you buried grandfather, he would become your husband in the next life and repay your kindness towards him."

Jessica pondered for a while before she understood what Amanda said and started to laugh, "You're an intelligent child!"

They stayed there for three days and were about to leave on the fourth day when they met Charles.

"Have you been cleaning this place?" Amanda asked. The place was very clean when they came. Although no one stayed there, it was obvious that someone must be cleaning it regularly. Charles lived nearby and had some connections with the Forbis family. He should be the one who maintained the place.

"Yes, I had been." Charles admitted but he was curious why was she here and asked, "Why did you come suddenly?"

"My grandma would like to have a look," Amanda replied.

Charles understood that because of Jessica's age, she could not be sure when she would pass on. Making a trip would put her heart at ease.

"How many days do you intend to stay?" Charles asked.

Amanda replied, "We had already stayed for a few days and are preparing to leave."

Charles nodded, "I just came back from C city. If I had known that you're coming, I would have returned earlier."

He noticed the bag which Amanda was carrying and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Amanda confirmed.

"I'll send you off," Charles called out to the driver.

"No need." Amanda rejected, "I rented a car." She then pointed to the car parked outside, "That car."

The Forbis family home was rather remote. With a rented car, she could take Jessica out for meals instead of cooking.

"I'll send you to the airport. Just leave the car here and I will settle its return." Charles felt that he needed to do something for them. He would feel bad if he did not do anything. She was Dolores's daughter and he should take care of her when she came to that area.

Amanda pondered for a while and then agreed, "Okay."

She had intended to return the car before taking a taxi to the airport. Now with Charles' offer to help, she would save some time. Thus, they got into Charles' car.

Along the way, Charles asked, "Do you intend to return to C city?"

"No," Amanda replied.

"Then..." Charles asked again, "To B city?"

Amanda nodded.

"Okay, let me know if you need anything." Charles offered.

He knew the situation between Amanda and Charles. He pondered for a moment and then said, "A person who loves you would never hurt you. Someone who does will not hesitate to hurt you."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
