Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 979 Don’t Be Agitated

Amanda scoffed and said, “Regret? What use is his regret if I had died?”

George was stumped by all her questions and stammered, “But… but, you both were once in love…”

Amanda felt that it was ridiculously amusing. Had she not said enough?

“George, are you a fool, or are you trying to act like a fool to me? Yes, I once loved him but he used me

for his schemes. Now I no longer have any feelings towards him. That’s why from then on there is no

longer love between us.” She had to suppress her anger to get these words out.

George understood what Amanda meant. However, he came to attempt to convince Amanda to

reconcile with his brother. Hence he had to use another point of view. No one would forgive Stanford if

things were considered from Amanda’s angle.

The only option was to say that Stanford made a mistake and now he regretted his mistake and was

willing to change. Everyone deserved a second chance.

“Please give my brother another chance. He’s injured and misses you. Can you go and see him?”

George pleaded.

Amanda sternly refused, “Impossible! Go away!”

“Can’t you visit him on the count of me coming all this way to look for you?” George pleaded again.

There would still be a chance for Stanford if she was willing to visit him.

“Please leave.” Amanda turned to walk towards the courtyard.

George became agitated and said, “What will it take for you to give my brother a chance?”

“All his regrets cannot take away my pain and bring back my child! Why should I forgive him? And

you’d better leave now or I will scream for help!” Amanda was at the limit of her tolerance. There was

no need for any more explanations.

Joan was standing nearby observing their interaction. He did not intend to eavesdrop on Amanda’s

personal affairs. He was just worried that she would be hurt. He walked over when he saw George

grabbing her arm.

Joan spoke sternly to George, “Please leave immediately.”

George looked at Joan, sized him up, and then asked, “Who are you? How are you involved with my

sister-in-law?”

He became agitated and pointed to Amanda while saying to Joan, “Let me tell you, she’s my brother’s

woman. You’d better stay away from her or I will come for you!”

Joan was stunned. All along he thought that George was Amanda’s ex-husband. When he heard

George say that she was his sister-in-law, he finally understood.

He was secretly relieved as he was worried that Amanda’s ex-husband would pester her and even

more worried that she would agree to a reconciliation. Thank goodness this was not the case.

He softly said to Amanda, “Go ahead into the house. I will settle this.”

Amanda looked at George and said definitively, “There is no longer anything between Stanford and me.

Please leave.” After saying this, she thanked Joan and walked into the house.

George panicked, “Amanda…”

“Please leave now or I will summon my men.” Joan interrupted and blocked George from taking Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

another step closer to the house.

“Don’t think that I don’t know why you interrupted me. You like my sister-in-law?” He asked but he was

certain of it and continued, “Otherwise you would not stop me.”

“Ms. Nelson is single. Is there anything wrong for me to pursue her?” Joan asked.

“You…” George was furious, “Don’t you dare!” Amanda was his brother’s woman and no one could

touch her.

“I warn you. You’d better look elsewhere.” George warned.

Joan was very calm but what he said was very authoritative, “Let me advise you to behave yourself or I

will make sure that your trip over will be a one-way trip.”

George was speechless. Suddenly he realized that Joan meant what he said.

Joan walked up the steps and saw Amanda standing at the top of the stairs. George spoke so loudly

just now, surely she had heard him!

“Don’t take what he said seriously.” Joan said to test her.

Amanda calmly replied, “What he said was right.”

That relationship had ended because what she experienced demanded that she give up the

relationship. She could not forget it all because it did happen to her.

She looked at Joan and said, “I had already booked my air ticket. I had helped you and I am very glad

to be able to know you… and Nina.” Nina had gone to bed at this hour.

Joan’s heart sank when he heard that she wanted to leave. He involuntarily clenched his fists.

“You’ve already decided?” He wanted to hide his unease but what he said betrayed his feelings. Of

course, she had since she already bought the tickets.

Amanda smiled, “Yes, thanks for your hospitality over these few days.”

Joan pursed his lips and wanted to speak but did not know what to say. He had no reasons to make

her stay.

"What time is your flight. I'll send you off." Joan said.

"Four o’clock in the afternoon.” She said and then she remembered, “Oh, this is for you…” She

removed the necklace around her neck.

“This…” Joan stammered, “I want you to have it.”

Amanda removed it, “This is too expensive. I can’t accept it without any reasons.”

She turned to enter the house to replace the necklace in its case.

George remained outside and became even more flustered. His sister-in-law was about to be snatched

by another man. He needed to inform Stanford so that he can think of something.

It was already late in the night. Stanford woke up after a bad dream and could not fall asleep thereafter.

George called and Stanford saw his cell phone blinking and ringing away but he was calm and had no

intention of answering it.

On the other end, George was panicking and repeatedly called Stanford. Stanford was frustrated by the

endless calls and finally answered.

“Were you asleep?” George thought that he just woke up. He knew that it was already late in the night.

“What’s up?” Stanford calmly asked.

“Listen, but don’t be agitated.”
