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

He pushed the door open, but there was no one in there.

The bed was empty.

Joan wasn’t surprised, as if he expected Nina to not be in here. He turned and walked towards Amanda’s room, but when he arrived at the door, he realized that it was already too late. He put his hand down and did not disturb their sleep.

“You’re back?”

She was a light sleep in foreign places, so she woke up when she heard noises outside the door.

“Did I wake you up?” Joan turned, “You can’t rest well here?”

Amanda looked down, using her silence to admit to his questions.

Even if she was fatigued, she couldn’t sleep well in an unfamiliar place.

“Is your leg better now?” As he said, his gaze averted to her ankle.

Amanda subconsciously moved her leg behind, “Yeah, it’s not swollen anymore. It doesn’t hurt too.”

“Thanks for taking care of Nina for me.”

“Didn’t you take me in too?” Amanda smiled, “Have you eaten?”

He said no.

Sally had already prepared the food and came over, “Sir, dinner is served.”

“Join me for dinner?” He invited, “It’s time for supper anyway.”

Amanda smiled and said, “There’s a tradition back in my country. We should sleep when the time is up and not disturb other people’s rest. And now, it’s time for bed, so I’m afraid I can’t join you.”
