Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

What Charles said was to remind Amanda not to soften her heart when she met Stanford. He was unworthy of her lifelong
commitment.
Jessica was asleep at this point as she was fatigued from the travelling.
It was silent for a moment the car before Amanda replied, “I know.” She was appreciative of Charles’ advice and concern.
“How long will you stay at B City?” Charles asked.
She looked at Jessica and then replied, “We’ve not decided, it depends on the situation.”
They remained quiet for a while. The car sped along the highway and Amanda was deep in her thoughts. After a while, she
turned to look at Charles and asked, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Please go ahead,” Charles replied.
She pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you regret meeting my mother?”
Charles was puzzled and asked, “Why did you ask this?”
“Hmm... Isn’t it better to not have met the person who you loved but could not be together with?” In that case, a person would
not be hurt.
Charles did not think so and replied, “It’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. It’s better to have met
someone who you can fall in love with. Otherwise, you would not have had that opportunity to truly love. Of course, it would be
unfortunate not to be with the person but it is better than not meeting her at all.”
Amanda respected Charles as he was a decent person. At the very least he was a person who valued love.
They arrived at the airport and Charles directed the driver to carry the bags.
Amanda helped Jessica down the car and said, “Just leave us here, we’ll find our way.”
The driver took out their bags and helped with the wheelchair. Charles then said, “I’ll see you to the aircraft.” He was very
insistent and Amanda did not reject his offer.

They waited a while till it was time to board the aircraft. Before boarding the aircraft, Amanda looked back and saw that Charles
was still looking at them. She waved farewell to him.
She sat next to Jessica and before long the aircraft was airborne.
Jessica started to mumble to herself, “Perhaps I’ll never have the chance to come back again.”
Amanda missed it and asked, “Grandma, what did you say?”
Jessica shook her head and answered, “Nothing.” The further she left that familiar place, the more unsettled she was. She could
not even take a nap as her mind was filled with memories that she should have forgotten.
“Amanda, what are you thinking of?” Jessica asked as she was herself in a partial daze.
“Nothing.” Amanda covered Jessica with the blanket and said, “Grandma, have a nap.”
Jessica already slept for a while in the car and did not feel like sleeping now, “I’ve not seen Stanford for a while.”
Amanda was stunned for a moment before she replied, “He is very busy.” She did not want Jessica to worry about her affairs.
“Yes, you are all so busy.” Jessica leaned onto her shoulder and continued, “Will I be able to see your baby?”
Amanda could not reply and remained quiet.
“You are married much earlier than Joshua. Perhaps he would have a child before you.” Jessica said.
Amanda replied, “Yes, he has a good relationship with Bonnie.”
The aeroplane landed.
They arrived at this city again and although the city did not change much, Jessica felt that it was like a homecoming as she had
not been there for a long time.
Amanda went to collect the bags as Jessica sat on the bench to wait. She then saw someone who looked like Stanford and
remarked, “Stanford?”
Stanford did not hear the call as he was talking to Atwood.
“Send George away and those two would start to behave,” Atwood said.

Stanford had lost some of his memories but his mind was still sharp. The two from the James family wanted to capitalize on
Stanford’s memory loss to let George manage the company so that they seize authority and the assets. However, Stanford did
not let the James family manipulate him because of his memory loss. He sent George overseas to further his studies. Once back
from his studies, he would still have a position at the company.
Without George, the two elder James would be more subdued.
“Hey, Stanford.” Jessica slow staggered towards Stanford called out to him.
Stanford noticed someone calling him, turned, and saw Jessica. However, he did not know who she was because he had lost his
memories of her. So he did not reply and continued to walk away.
“Stanford, are you here to pick us up?” Jessica yelled again.
Now he was certain that he was not mistaken and even Atwood heard. Atwood’s expression changed as soon as he saw
Jessica.
“Mr. James, we have a meeting this afternoon, let’s go.”
Stanford did not budge and asked, “Was she calling out to me?”
“I didn’t hear.” Atwood shook his head.
“Was I mistaken?” Stanford frowned.
“Perhaps, let’s go...” Atwood hurried him.
At this point, Amanda had picked up the bags and noticed that Jessica was no longer sitting at the bench. She noticed Jessica
not far from her and hurried over.
Atwood was stunned when he saw Amanda and wondered why she was there. Immediately, he looked at Stanford’s
expression.
