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

Dolores looked at Boyce and asked, “Are you guys fighting?”

Boyce was surprised that Dolores would say something like that, he answered, “No?”

Dolores didn’t seem to believe what Boyce said, but she didn’t ask any more questions. Boyce wasn’t a child anymore, but Jasmine was also much younger than him. Sometimes, a girl could have more delicate thoughts. Dolores told Boyce, “You know Jasmine’s situation the best, you need to love and protect her, make her feel like she has a family. Don’t make her feel abandoned.”

Boyce smiled and nodded in agreement.

He was nice in his own way towards Jasmine. He supported her studies. When she said that she wanted to stay in the dorm because she was busy with her studies, he didn’t stop her or say anything, even though he wanted to spend more time with her when he came back.

He even drove her there.

But Boyce thought about it and felt that Jasmine was indeed different from before. She used to be full of zeal and liked to be close to him. But lately, she was indifferent and cold. Did he do something wrong?

He pondered about it. The last time before he went back, they didn’t fight. He was busier these days and they weren’t in contact very much, there was not even a chance to argue.

Maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe Jasmine wasn’t angry at him.

“Give me the baby.” Jessica walked over and got the baby from Dolores’ arm. “The baby needs more sleep at this stage.”

Dolores handed the baby to Jessica and went to pour two glasses of water. She put one in front of Boyce and asked, “When is the next time you’re coming back?”

“In a month or so,” Boyce replied.

Dolores nodded; she took a sip of water and asked, “How many days were you here already? When are you going back?”

“I was quite busy recently. After finishing up the things there I finally have some free time now. I can stay for one more day, so I’m going back on Tuesday. And the next time I come back, I should be almost done with my studies there,” said Boyce.

“I know that you’re busy, but even so, you still should make time to be with Jasmine.” When Jasmine came over last time, Dolores noticed that there was something on her mind. She kept smiling, but she spaced out a lot.

Boyce nodded, “I know.”
