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

As Jeffery entered the door, Marina was already waiting for him with his bedroom slippers.

Jeffery stopped and asked immediately, “What happened today?”

“Come in and we’ll talk.” Marina placed the slippers in front of Jeffery.

Jeffery frowned deeply and asked, “And that’s why you didn’t invite her out?”

Marina quickly replied, “Yes. You should know about Matthew’s character. Aren’t you concerned that his opinion on you take a drastic turn when he knows that you are plotting against him?”

Marina knew that Jeffery was very concerned about Matthew. She also knew that eighty percent of that concern was due to Jolene.
