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

She had been here for a few days so she roughly knew about Joan’s personality. He was aloof and an idealist. As his parents had a happy marriage, he aspired to have a similarly happy marriage life.

He was the kind of person who would never settle for it before he met the person he liked.

He was kind-hearted but he never said it with his mouth, but via practical actions.

The way he looked without his uniform gave the impression of being a tender gentleman.

He was a very good man.

The way he was nervous at this moment and did not know how to start the conversation was cute.

“When I came in just now, I heard what you said to Nina,” Joan spoke after quite a while.

Amanda froze for a moment and then looked at him, confused. ‘What is he trying to say?’

“Do you love your ex-husband very much? You can’t get him out of your mind?” Joan asked.

It was a question, but more like he was feeling her out.

Amanda was silent for a few seconds, trying to understand why he had such a question. ‘It should be because of the words she replied to Nina.’

“I don’t love him.” It was a very firm tone. Her love was buried long ago in his words when he told her to divorce and burnt to ashes in that fire, “I told Nina that there is someone I like in my mind and it’s just because I don’t want her to fix me up with you.”

Hearing the words ‘don’t love’, Joan’s eyebrows were raised with a trace of unconcealed happiness. But when he heard the latter part of the sentence, that happiness dissipated again, “So, her action of fixing you up with me has bothered you, is it?”

“No,” Amanda hurriedly explained. She knew clearly in her mind that Joan was a good person.

Joan was an innocent person who had not yet dated a woman until now. Whereas, she had married and divorced. The difference between their love relationship backgrounds was too great.

She said to Nina that it was inappropriate because she wanted to tell her that she was a divorced woman and was not the right woman for Joan.

This would make her feel that she had ruined the purity in Joan.
