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

Eddie suddenly stood up, snapping, “I’m talking to Jeffery. Who allows you to come in?”

Mrs. Chambers looked at her husband. “I’ve married you for so many years. I’ve been working hard and taking care of you. Have I ever turned you down on your request?”

Eddie couldn’t utter any word. His wife was quite virtuous, taking care of this family and their daughter, serving him.

“I’m talking to Jeffery. Why did you break in? You are a woman. What on earth do you know? Put down the tea and go out.” Eddie didn’t continue speaking in a loud voice and he calmed down a bit. Since Jeffery was there, if he reacted too excited, it would seem as if he was trying to hide something.

However, his eyes were full of warnings when he gazed at his wife.

Mrs. Chambers stared at him, feeling quite upset. “After I’ve married you, you became the center of my life. However, I won’t listen to you this time.”

Chloe was standing aside. Her gaze swept between her parents. “Mom, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Chambers looked at her daughter with reddish eyes. “I want you to know what’s on your father’s mind.”

Eddie was in a panic. “You, get out!”

If it were in the past, in face of her furious husband, Mrs. Chambers would definitely leave. However, she couldn’t let her husband immerse in his obsession and even pay the price of her daughter’s future.

She walked in, put down the tea plate, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a book, named The Strategies.

With a livid face, Eddie gazed at her. Jeffery and Chloe were quite curious, wondering what she would take out. They stared at her without a blink.

Under all the gazes, Mrs. Chambers found a photo from the book.

Chloe had never seen such a photo before, and neither did she know who the girl in the photo was. However, Jeffery could recognize that was a photo of his younger sister.

He walked over, took the photo over from Mrs. Chambers’s hands. It was taken when Jolene was fifteen. She was wearing a white dress, loosed hair, and standing under a big tree in the yard. Her features were still childish, but faintly she looked delicate and pretty. Particularly her eyes, which were as clear and bright as stars, made others unforgettable after a glimpse.

Under the light, Jeffery found there were words behind the photo. He turned it over and saw Jolene’s name and the time were there.
