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

Armand quickly hid behind Dolores noticing Boyce’s rage, “I’m just telling the truth but you deny it, I’m sure Jasmine likes you, otherwise she won’t be so worry when you got hurt. Age is not an issue at all, look at Dolores and Matthew, there is an eight years gap, but they are doing well.”

Dolores turned to Armand, “You are talking about Boyce, why drag us in?”

She didn’t like someone mentioned about the past.

She was indeed young at that time, eighteen years old should be in university but she already got married.

Boyce took the chance, “He is full of crap, isn’t he? Never change!”

Armand stared at Boyce, “Don’t take this chance to attack me, I might not be able to fight you physically but I can seek help.”

Dolores slapped Armand on his shoulder, “Tune down, Theresa might hear you.”

‘If Armand knows what Theresa said today, wonder if he can still act so childish.’ Dolores thought.

Theresa’s name worked like a charm on Armand, he shut up right away.

“Hah, there’s something you are afraid of?” Boyce teased.

“Get lost!” Armand threw himself on the sofa without any more words.

Dolores held two bottles of liquor and told them, “Dinner is ready, let’s eat.”

She put the liquors on the table and headed to Theresa’s room to help with the bath and dressed. She then held her out while she tiptoes to the living room, avoiding hurting her wound on the way. Armand rose to help but he stopped noticing Theresa didn’t even look at him.

Dolores helped her to the dining table, Andrew immediately pulled out a chair, “Be careful, Renee.”

Theresa stroke his head, smiling, “You will be very famous amongst girls in the future.”

Andrew waved and said, “I only need one, too many women will cause too many troubles.”

His words made everyone laughed. Dolores pinched his cheek, “Stop saying nonsense.”

“It’s true,” Andrew defended with a grunt, “You and daddy argue once every few days, aren’t you?”

“What did you say?” his voice was too low, Dolores missed it.
