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

Boyce drove all the way to the old mansion, and by the time he arrived the sky had already darkened.

Jasmine was holding Joshua and playing with him in the living room, and upon entering, Boyce immediately asked about what had happened today.

“Didn’t you know about it? It’s exactly like I said.” Jasmine replied.

Boyce reached out, wanting to hold Joshua too, but Jasmine smacked his hand away, “Did you wash your hands?”

Boyce had nothing to say about that.

Jasmine repeated, “You need to wash your hands.”

“Then I don’t want to hold him anymore.”

Boyce sat down on the sofa and Jasmine came near him, “I am utterly bewildered when I saw the full box of cash. Fearing that I would burden you, I really don’t know what kind of trouble would ensue if it were not for Dolores’ idea.”

She looked at Boyce seriously, “Did you offend somebody?”

Or else, why would something like that happen?

Boyce said without any tinge of emotion, “I will deal with it.”

Jasmine continued, “Well, anything goes as long as you are aware of your role. Right, when we have dinner later, remember to say some thanks to Dolores. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, and at that time I was completely clueless, and it was Dolores who saved me from that predicament. Or else, when push comes to shove, things might deteriorate in an unimaginable way.”

Boyce nodded.

With a creaky voice, the door of the room was opened, and with Andrew and Amanda flanking on both sides, they helped Jayden in from outside. His body was getting worse by the day, and walking itself was a hard ordeal for him now. There must be someone who could help him walk nowadays.
