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

Bonnie pursed her lips tightly, slightly embarrassed as she asked, “Will it… work?”

“Why not? She’ll be excited to accompany you to the hospital once she knows you’re pregnant,” Joshua said, thinking it was a brilliant idea.

Bonnie felt that this could consider as a white lie that must be made for Dolores’ health and agreed to it, “I’ll talk to her right now.”

Just as she was about to go downstairs, Joshua called her out, “I’ll go and tell her. You can go back and wait in the room first.”

Joshua gave it some thought and felt that Bonnie wasn’t in a great place to speak about that. He would be the best person to deliver the message instead.

Bonnie listened to him and went back to their room, waiting for Joshua to return.

On the other hand, Dolores was downstairs, preparing to leave the house. Joshua came over and held her hand, “Mom.”

“Yeah?” She turned back to look at her son, “You have something to tell me?”

Joshua nodded his head vigorously, then leaned into her ear and whispered, “Bonnie said that she was sick and would feel like vomiting from time to time. I wanted to bring her to her hospital for a check-up, but she was unwilling to listen to me. Could you try to persuade her and accompany her to the hospital?”

Dolores understood the situation almost instantly and thought to herself that Bonnie might be pregnant. She said to Joshua, “I’ll go and take a look at her.“

She ascended upstairs with Joshua following behind her.
