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

Gerben blinked his eyes and asked, “Was it always unforgivable when men made mistakes?”

Amanda was curious. It wasn’t the first time Gerben asked her this question. Why was that?

“You wanted me and him to get back together?”

Gerben cleared his throat, “I’m only curious about how much a man would pay for their mistake. If you could forgive him this time, then it meant he could make a bigger mistake.”

Amanda felt speechless.

“I was joking,” Gerben started the car engine, “Are you going back to the hotel?”

“No, we’re going to J&Y Group,” said Amanda.

“You can leave work for tomorrow. You should take a rest today,” said Gerben. He was worried that it would be overwhelming for Amanda to face Stanford right after she got off the plane.

Amanda looked outside the window, “Let’s just go to J&Y Group.”

Amanda wanted to solve everything as soon as possible. Her parents were worried about her. It was time for her to go back and visit them.

Amanda wanted to take revenge on Stanford, so she had been hiding from her parents for the past year. Her parents cooperated with her and stayed hidden, but Amanda knew that they were missing her all along.

Amanda didn’t want to stay in this place. She wanted to get it over with and start a new life.

Amanda didn’t want the past to haunt her.

After all, life was a long journey.

Gerben said, “I’m not sure if Stanford is in the office. Let me call and ask them.”

Then, Gerben gave a call to Stanford’s secretary to ask if Stanford was in the office today.

The secretary answered Gerben, “Mr. James isn’t in the office.”

“Ms. Flores came back. She needs to talk to Mr. James,” said Gerben.

The secretary paused for a while then replied to Gerben Harvie, “Let me come back to you, alright?”

“Sure.”
