Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Armand Bernie took his hand back and said without any emotion, “We know each other.”

Phoebe Lewis grabbed his hand tightly, “No, you do care about me, and you used to love me a lot.”

“As you said, I used to.” Armand emphasized.

Phoebe released his hand and said, “If you don’t love me anymore, why are you still here?”

“You were injured.”

“It’s not an excuse!” Phoebe stared at him deeply, “Armand, do you remember the first time you kissed me?” She didn’t care about whether Armand wanted to listen to her or not, but she kept saying, “It was a sunny day, right before our graduation. You came to me and you bought the ticket for the movie called ‘My Ex’. The movie was about a couple, they broke up because of something bad happened. And you told me right in the cinema that you would never leave me alone.”

Armand didn’t answer her.

He remembered he said that.

Phoebe looked outside the window and kept saying, “It was dark in the cinema and we sat in the back seats. You kissed me. It was our first kiss.” She turned her head and asked Armand, “Do you remember that?”

Armand’s throat moved a bit, “Tell me, why you left me?”

Phoebe showed a relieved yet bitter smile, “You are married. It is meaningless to say that.”

She closed her eyes showing she was tired and hopeless, “You are free to go.”

Armand’s hands made fists, “I will send you back.”

“No need, I will go back by myself.”

“Phoebe…”

“Don’t call me like that, it makes me think you still love me.” She opened her eyes and stared at him. Her tears were streaming down from her cheek. “I thought you would wait for me to come back… It was my fault, I shouldn’t have believed in our relationship could be that firm and it actually turned out that I have overthought too much.”

“You should have given me a reason, I could have waited for you.” Armand looked at her.

Phoebe laughed and didn’t explain the reason why she left and then came back. She removed the blanket and put on her coat, pointing at the medicine on the table, “Is this mine?”

Armand nodded.

Phoebe took the medicine and walked to the door. After opening the door, she suddenly held her forehead and staggered a few steps.
