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

Matthew Nelson lowered his eyes to looked at the ice cream that was passed to his lips. His lips felt cold as they touched the ice cream. The coldness dissipated the warmth of his lips. He opened his mouth to cover the spoon. He ate the ice cream that was passed by his daughter.

Amanda Nelson didn’t mind that the spoon was used by him. She couldn’t wait to scoop the ice cream and put it into her mouth, “It is so delicious.”

It was sweet and cool and there was a light milk taste. Her eyes looked happy. She felt so much happiness after only eating a spoon of ice cream.

“Dad, after I finish my ice cream, are you going back with me? We will go back to see Mommy.” After saying that, she scooped another ice cream and passed it to him.

Matthew again ate the ice cream that was fed by his daughter. He was chewing the sweet taste in his mouth. Yet, he was bitterly thinking about how to explain to the two kids in his mind.

Andrew Nelson also raised his head to look at him.

He seemed like he was looking forward to his answer.

He looked at his children. His eyes kept blinking and he frowned. His face looked extremely bitter. Normal people would know he was suffering in his heart after looking at his face.

Andrew slightly sighed. He lowered his head to eat another spoon of ice cream, “I don’t know what you want. Sometimes you two are fine. Sometimes you two quarrel with each other. Is it fun?”

Didn’t he know that his sister and he were the ones who were suffering?

They had a father but they looked like children without a father. He wanted to let his father change his mind to have a normal family life. Who knew…

While thinking, Andrew took another deep sigh as he felt helpless.

“And you didn’t think about our feelings. You two are too wilful.”

Matthew’s gaze moved between the two kids’ faces. In the end, he said with a low voice, “Give us some time.”

“Then do you miss Mommy? Andrew raised his head to look at him. He seemed like he was worried, “When Mommy is not around you, are you going to find another woman?”

Andrew was worried that he would love another person again. He had abandoned his Mommy once.

“If you make another mistake, we and Mommy really will not forgive you,” Andrew said the words clearly.
