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

Jeffery snorted. “You’d better take care of yourself first.”

Soon, they arrived at the barbecue stands next to H lake. Those stands offered all ingredients and seasoning, letting the customers to barbecue by themselves. Beside the pond, there was a forest. The customers could sit down under the tree shadow and chitchat.

They barbecued a few meat and vegetables, ordered a few cans of beer, and sat on the lawn inside the bush. They were chatting while eating.

Jeffery said, “I’m afraid we couldn’t be so idle in the future.”

Jolene sat next to him, casting him a glance. “Don’t be so silly! You are someone who will do something big!”

“What kind of big thing do you want me to do?”Jeffery asked while staring at his sister.

Jolene answered without any hesitation, “Of course, you’ll become a general to protect our country.”

Jeffery remarked that she was too ambitious.

His sister wanted him to be a general.

Eddie always kept silent. Jeffery kept chatting with Jolene. While Jolene was speaking, Eddie would look at her.

She always looked quite spirited. She was pure and extremely lively.

“I’ll go get another two cans of beer.” Jeffery stood up.

Finally, Eddie had a chance to chat with Jolene. “You are quite close to Jeffery.”

Jolene supported her chin. “He’s my elder brother.” As if she thought of something, she said helplessly and happily, “When I was in elementary school, I didn’t have any friends in my class at all.”

Eddie asked curiously, “Why not?”

Jolene curled her lips. “Because I have a brother nicknamed ‘devil’. When I was in Grade Two, my deskmate accidentally pushed me, so I fell. My knees were broken and bled a bit. After my brother knew it, he hit my deskmate.”

“Your brother? Did he hit a child?” Eddie gaped.

Jeffery was truly a sister addict.

“Yeah. From then on, everyone knew that I have a violent brother in the senior grade. Nobody dared to lay a finger on me at all. They were all afraid of my brother.”

Eddie laughed.
