Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 955

He pushed the door open, but there was no one in there.

The bed was empty.

Joan wasn’t surprised, as if he expected Nina to not be in here. He turned and walked towards Amanda’s room, but when he arrived at the door, he realized that it was already too late. He put his hand down and did not disturb their sleep.

“You’re back?”

When Joan turned around, the door opened. Amanda was standing there.

She was a light sleep in foreign places, so she woke up when she heard noises outside the door.

“Did I wake you up?” Joan turned, “You can’t rest well here?”

Amanda looked down, using her silence to admit to his questions.

Even if she was fatigued, she couldn’t sleep well in an unfamiliar place.

“Is your leg better now?” As he said, his gaze averted to her ankle.

Amanda subconsciously moved her leg behind, “Yeah, it’s not swollen anymore. It doesn’t hurt too.”

“Thanks for taking care of Nina for me.”

“Didn’t you take me in too?” Amanda smiled, “Have you eaten?”

He said no.

Sally had already prepared the food and came over, “Sir, dinner is served.”

“Join me for dinner?” He invited, “It’s time for supper anyway.”

Amanda smiled and said, “There’s a tradition back in my country. We should sleep when the time is up and not disturb other people’s rest. And now, it’s time for bed, so I’m afraid I can’t join you.”

Joan had a faint smile on his face. He couldn’t retort to her rejection.

“Good night and sleep early. I’ll take care of Nina.”

“Good night,” Joan whispered.

Amanda closed the door, while Joan went to the dining hall.

Nina was sleeping soundly on the bed. She had no idea that Amanda woke up in the middle of the night at all.

Amanda stood by the bed, curious as to why Joan, an unmarried man would adopt her instead of sending her to the orphanage. If he was married, had a wife and children, then this wouldn’t have seemed so strange. But it was unusual for an unmarried man to adopt a child.

With curiosity in her heart, Amanda headed to the dining hall.

She poured herself a glass of water and sat down.

Joan looked up at her.

She smiled, “I won’t talk.”

Joan continued to eat. Once he was done, he picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. He asked her, “You have questions for me?”

Amanda thought that this man was intelligent. He could always guess her thoughts.

“Yeah.” She pursed her lips before continuing, “You’re not married, but why did you adopt Nina? Most men wouldn’t do that, right?”

“No special reason. I just wanted to raise her.” Joan replied simply. The first time he saw Nina, her body was covered in dirt. She was brought here by traffickers. Together with another few children, they were nestling at the corner of a roughly furnished room.

When they were rescued, he noticed that the other children looked like Thai people, but she was different. Plus, she was calm and even thanked those who rescued them.
