Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 1050

Joan kept his head down and chuckled helplessly.

When the coffee was served, Amanda asked Joan, “Do you want some milk with it?”

“I like to enjoy the bitter and aromatic taste.” Joan gently swirled the coffee and asked, “Do you take it with sugar and milk?”

Amanda did not touch the coffee, looked at him, and answered, “In the past, I would add sugar as I felt that it was too bitter. Then gradually I prefer to take it black.”

Perhaps it was the year when she was recuperating overseas after her brush with death. A lot of her regular habits changed during that time.

She took a sip of the coffee and commented, “The coffee tastes even finer in its original form.”

“I don’t like it to be too thick and intense.” Joan was a pleasant and accommodating person. He was looking for a marriage that could give him a simple life and not one which was full of excitement and surprises.

Amanda grinned, “You don’t like an intense taste?”

“No,” Joan replied.

“I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.” She took another sip and then grinned when she placed the cup down.

Joan picked up on this and said, “I think you’re up to no good.”

“Really?” She asked as she continued to smile cheekily. She thought, ‘He must have realized it.’

“Yes.” Joan was a smart man. She knew that he would not allow her to pay for it or perhaps she would take him to eat something strange. Then he said, “Okay, you must give me a treat and not back out of it.”

“Your language seems to be improving,” Amanda remarked in surprise.

Joan smiled, “Thanks, I’ve been learning.”

Stanford walked into the café and the lady seated beside them quickly stood up and called out, “Mr. James.”

Stanford looked over and frowned as he seemed to realize something. His cellphone rang at the same moment and it was Atwood who called him.

“Mr. James, this lady is the daughter of the owner of Lucien Group. She graduated from a renowned university and had been fond of you for a long…”

“So you lied to me?” Stanford interrupted him coldly before Atwood could finish.

After work, Atwood told him that he had something to discuss with him and asked to meet him at this café. Stanford thought that Atwood was going to come clean about what he was hiding from Stanford but little did he expect Atwood to set him up with this lady.

He became upset with Atwood.

“Mr. James, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re not getting any younger and should consider starting a family.”
