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

“Hey, isn’t this a happy moment? Why does it look like an interrogation?” Armand glared at Matthew. Joan was a good catch and he was worried that Matthew might scare him away.

“Come, come, take a seat.” Armand tried to break the tense moment.

Joan nodded politely and said, “Thanks.”

“No need, we will soon become a family and there is no need for formalities.” Armand nudged Theresa and whispered, “Serve some drinks.”

“Do it yourself.” Theresa sat firm and glared at him.

Armand chuckled and said, “Okay, okay, I’ll get the drinks.” Theresa never treated him tenderly.

He went to get the drinks and was surprised that Joan and Amanda were still standing. He quickly asked, “Why are you still standing?” After saying this, he seemed to realize what was happening and looked towards Matthew and laughed, “Just agree, won’t you? You are neighbours with Joan. Isn’t it great that you can still see your daughter every day in the future?”

Matthew glared at Armand coldly. Armand kept quiet and went to sit on the sofa as he mumbled, “Ingrate.” He did these out of concern for Amanda’s future.

Matthew then felt that what he wanted to say was now unnecessary. He then waved to them, “Take a seat, you two.”

“Dad.” Amanda sat beside Matthew and held his arm and asked, “Have you agreed?”

Dolores also looked at Matthew, eagerly anticipating his decision.

Matthew patted her hand and was unwilling but she was already an adult and should be married. She could not stay by his side forever and remain under his protection.

“Your silence means that you had agreed?” Dolores finally spoke. Matthew softly acknowledged.

“That’s great!” Armand said excitedly as if it was his son who was getting married.
