Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 978 He Regretted

He was willing to share his personal affairs because he was caught up in the moment. A person who

was used to keeping to himself would take a while to open up to others, even if he wished to.

Since he was born to this family, he had the responsibility to protect the family’s honor. Many times it

was not up to him. He had too much at stake which was linked to the social circle in which he was in.

“Heartfelt thanks.” Joan sincerely expressed his gratitude towards Amanda. He had caused her

significant problems by asking her out today.

Amanda understood his predicament and did not mind. She suddenly asked, “If you had a choice,

would you wish to be born in the same family?”

Joan did not hesitate, “Of course.” He did not care about what the family gave him other than warmth

and love.

Amanda smiled. She understood Joan’s feelings. This family gave him love and warmth. At the same

time, it also brought him the network that he had no choice but to interact with.

She then smiled at Joan and said, “I empathize with you.” The way she smiled was beautiful with those

crescent-shaped eyes.

The banquet ended at around eleven o’clock. During the ball, Otto kept dancing with the Princess. Both

of them did not leave each other’s side for the entire evening. It was very likely that Otto would be

married to the Princess. In fact, the likelihood was around ninety percent.

Apart from Otto and the Princess, the admirer of Payne was also present and spoke to her the entire

night. As a result, she had no time to pester Joan.

This banquet was conducted relatively smoothly, apart from that minor episode with Saranya.

All appeared to be fine until they were at the entrance of the house and then another incident

happened.

George was unable to get to the person he wanted to see and did not leave. He was there waiting for

her.

When George spotted the car he saw in the afternoon, he came out of the bushes and ran over to

block the car. The headlights blinded him and he could not see the person in the car. However, he was

certain that Amanda was inside as he remembered the license plate number.

“Amanda, I need to speak to you.” George yelled as he stretched out both of his hands and made it

clear that he would not budge if Amanda did not get out of the car. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Inside the car, Amanda started to frown when she saw who was standing in front of the car.

Joan hesitated and then asked, “Do you want me to clear things up with him?”

Amanda shook her head, “Forget it, I’ll explain to him by myself.”

Joan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Amanda got out of the car and said before closing the door, “Please go back first.”

The driver looked back and drove off only when Joan said so.

After the car drove off, Amanda walked over to George. George frowned as he stared at the car and

asked, “Who was that man?”

Amanda did not reply but asked calmly, “Why did you look for me?”

George persisted, “Who the hell is that man?” He came to help Stanford get her back. Now that he saw

Amanda with another man, he must find out who this man was, otherwise how could he answer to

Stanford?

“These are none of your business. I’m asking you why are you here?” Amanda was calm and cold,

“You may leave if it had something to do with Stanford. I have nothing to say to you regarding him. If

you’re here for some personal matters, then out with it.”

“Of course I’m here because of my brother. His leg is injured, otherwise, I would not be here to look for

you. He is still very concerned about you. I wish that you could give him a chance. He did something

wrong but he could change. Please forgive him.”

“If these are what you wanted to say, then you had. Please leave.” Amanda started to walk towards the

courtyard. In George’s anxiousness, he rushed forward and grabbed her arm, and said, “Are you that

heartless towards my brother?”

Amanda flung off his hand and felt amused by his actions, “We had divorced and have nothing to do

with each other.”

“You can remarry even after a divorce.” George felt that they were once a married couple and could get

back together.

“Impossible, not in this life!” She was insistent.

George was in disbelief and asked, “Why?” Before Amanda could answer, he pointed towards the

courtyard and asked again, “Because of that man just now? You found someone else so soon?”

In George’s impression, Amanda had always been someone who was deeply in love with Stanford. He

found it hard to accept that she was now so determined to have nothing to do with his brother.

“How could you? My brother loves you!” George grabbed Amanda’s arm again and said, “How could

you change your heart?”

“Release me!” Amanda tried to shake free.

George persisted for the answer, “Why? Why?”

“It has nothing to do with you regardless of why. Now release me immediately!” Amanda was now

frustrated by his harassment.

“I won’t release you before you explain clearly to me.” George stubbornly persisted, “What’s the

reason? I don’t believe that you don’t love my brother. I knew that you loved him very much.”

Amanda was so angry that she became calm and then laughed sarcastically, “Yes, once I did love him,

otherwise I would not get married to him. Then I wish to ask you how much do you know about what he

did to me?”

George was stumped.

“Do you know that I nearly died?” She asked.

George replied, “I know. The fire was covered in the news and it was reported that you died in the fire.

But now you are alive and I’m pleasantly surprised.”

“Very well, then I’ll ask you again. Do you know why we had a divorce?”

George shook his head.

“It was Stanford who wanted it,” Amanda said.

George was speechless.

“Did he love me? He got close to me, married me, all because of revenge. He made use of my feelings

and my love for him. In the end, do you know that I almost died because of him? I was pregnant when

he wanted the divorce. He did not give me a chance. Do you know how determined he was? George, I

don’t know why your relationship with him had improved so suddenly for you to come so far to

persuade me for reconciliation. I just want to ask you if you had been used and lied to, would you

forgive that person?”

George was quiet. He did not know a good portion of what Amanda said. He thought that Stanford had

married her out of love. He also thought that their relationship had soured which led to the divorce. He

did not expect things to be so complicated. It was totally unexpected.

He needed some time to think about what he would do if something like this happened to him. But then,

he snapped back to his senses and remembered what he was there for.

“My brother definitely regrets now,” George said.
