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

Jasmine was stunned by the amount of money. She was dazed for a moment.

There must be something fishy for someone to give so much money. She forced herself to calm down and she knew that she had to inform Boyce. She looked for her cellphone and her hands trembled and dropped the cellphone onto the ground.

She squatted to pick up the phone but the screen had shattered. She was still able to make the call but Boyce’s cellphone had been turned off.

She frowned at the unexpected turn of events. What should she do now? What if this money brought trouble to Boyce? She began to become flustered and her mind was in a daze. It was her carelessness that caused this situation. What if this caused trouble for Boyce? She shuddered to think of the consequences…

She sat on the floor in desperation and wondered who she should look for. She did not dare to do anything rash now and needed someone with who she could discuss this. After a moment, she thought of Dolores. Matthew was so intelligent and should know what to do in such a situation. Hence, she gave Dolores a call.

The weather was lovely today and Dolores took her baby to the park for a stroll.

Kevin was supporting Jayden as they strolled and remarked, “Look at how time flies. More than half of the year had passed and it’s almost the mid-autumn festival.”

Jayden looked up to the trees and indeed some of the leaves had started to turn yellow. Once winter arrived, the Chinese New Year would come next. The leaves would grow again at every spring but once a man had passed on, he would leave the earth forever.

He was not afraid of death but when he pondered about it, he still felt rather apprehensive.

Kevin said, “Autumn is here, every season brings its beauty and also its loneliness.”

Dolores said soon after, “The weather is also becoming colder. Uncle, you need to wear warmer clothes.”

Kevin smiled.

Her phone began to ring and Jessica handed her cellphone to her and said, “You have a call.”

Dolores placed the child into the pram and covered the baby with a blanket. Thereafter she took over the phone and it was Jasmine who called her. Why did Jasmine call her?

As soon as she answered the call, Jasmine said anxiously, “Dolores, I made a mistake.”

Dolores was puzzled and asked, “What happened? Calm down and explain it to me.”
