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 scoffed and was eager to listen to her explanation. How difficult was it for her to invite Dolores out for dinner? She could not accomplish even such a simple task!

He wore the slippers, walked to the sofa, and sat down before asking, “Go ahead. What is it?”

Marina had pondered since she came back from the clothing shop as to how she should broach this matter with Jeffery. But now she was stumped.

“So out with it!” Jeffery yelled as his patience ran out.

“I noticed that the kids were doing fine and I couldn’t bear…” Marina said.

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.
