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

Charles who had returned to White City rested for a little bit before going to see Jayden. He was in a hurry to know what had transpired in the time period he was busy with the company’s matters. He need to know how Matthew was able to learn of the truth about Victoria’s death, and whether Dolores leaving Matthew was because of her hiding the truth from Matthew.

No matter how much he tried to guess, it was all just a conjecture.

He didn’t let Tom come along with him as he dismissed him. His driver and Amelia was by his side.

It was easy for him to learn of these news as he was able to know where Jayden was staying in White City after just making a few calls.

He was staying in the Forbis old mansion, and there were only three men living in this huge mansion. Kevin and Thomas who was there to take care of Jayden were the other two. The three men living there were all men in their twilight years.

One could vaguely feel that this was a rather bizarre combination, and yet at the same time they looked a little dreary.

When Charles rolled through the door, he immediately saw Jayden lying in a rocking chair in the courtyard, and there was a thin blanket covering his body. It was only a few days, but he felt like a completely different person. There was no sign of his past energetic self now.

After getting off the steps, Charles motioned for Amelia to wait for him outside. He moved his wheelchair forward by himself.

It was summer now, and there were lush foliage in the courtyard with green leaves stuffing the trees. They provided a shade against the sun, creating a cool area. Jayden’s rocking chair was just underneath the trees.

Thomas saw that Charles had entered the courtyard without any greeting. Fearing that he might disturb Jayden’s rest, he walked over and asked, “May I know who are you looking for?”

Charles jerked up his chin to gesture towards Jayden.

“I’m sorry. My master will not see any guests. Please return.” Thomas gestured politely in the direction of the door.

“My legs are crippled and it is not easy for me to travel to this place. I won’t disturb his rest. I just want to have a few words with him.”

Thomas wanted to refuse again, but Jayden who was on the rocking chair opened his eyes slowly at this moment and said to Thomas, “I have free time now. You can attend to your matters now, let me have a word with him.”

Thomas reminded him, “Keep the conversation short. It’s not good for your health.”

Victoria’s death was a devastating blow to him. His spirits were deteriorating from day to day.

Jayden jerked up the corners of his mouth, “I won’t die that easily.”
