Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 968

The promoter handed the card back to Joan but it was snatched by Payne. She glanced at the scarf on Amanda’s shoulder and then looked at Joan, “Did you pay for this?”

Joan frowned as she barged into the store abruptly, “Why are you here?”

“I’m asking you. Why did you buy her something?” Payne’s aggressive manner was like a wife questioning her husband for having a secret affair with another woman.

Joan took the card from her hand, “Do I have to ask your permission to buy something for anybody?”

Payne was speechless.

Amanda felt that she had made her misunderstand and caused trouble for Joan. She wanted to help Joan explain, “Oh, Joan and I are just ordinary friends.”

Payne glared at her, “Don’t lie to me.”

“I’m not lying to you. I’m already married.” Amanda tried her best to explain.

Although she was divorced, still she had married before. She did not want to bring trouble to Joan for accommodating at his home.

Payne was speechless all of a sudden.

“Oh, sorry I…”

Joan carried Nina up and held Amanda’s hand. He gave Payne a cold look, “I hate you to interfere in my life. Don’t come to my house again in the future.”

He brought them out of the store after saying that.

Payne chased after him, “I didn’t mean to.”

Joan turned around and glared at her, “I hope you behave well like a woman. I won’t like you even if you keep pestering me like this.”

Payne was dumbfounded.

Joan was initially in a good mood but ended up being infuriated by Payne throughout the outing.

Nina sighed gently.

Amanda patted her head, “Don’t sigh easily at such a young age.”

“Daddy is attracting such an unwanted encounter because he is not married yet,” Nina said.

Amanda was surprised, “You even know the phrase ‘unwanted encounter’?”

This phrase was taught to Nina by Dolores. Since Payne had been pestering Joan, Nina was complaining her in front of Dolores and Dolores just simply described her with the phrase.

So, Nina remembered it.

Their plan for the trip came to the end at noon after being disturbed by Payne.

Amanda felt that she had caused trouble to Joan, “Today, I have caused trouble to you and let her misunderstand you.”

“It’s not your problem.” Joan shook his head helplessly.

It was not the first time that Payne had been like this. She would be extremely wary whenever a female appeared around him.

“It bothers me.” Joan could not get rid of such a pestering woman.

Amanda gave him an idea, “Just hurry up and find the right one to marry. Won’t that solve it?”

“Do you have a happy marriage?” Joan still asked anyway, “I saw you when you came to meet your parents last time.”

He knew that she was married too.

He knew it from Dolores.

He heard it once Matthew and Dolores were talking about her past. They did not mention anything else after seeing him.

He expected she had a happy marriage as she was able to smile blissfully at that time. But now, her smile had changed and was not that blissful anymore.

Amanda lowered her eyes, “Quite good.”

“But I don’t see that you’re happy,” Joan said.

Amanda looked up, “Is it that obvious?”

She thought carefully as she had hidden her emotion quite on purpose. ‘How can he still notice it?’

Joan said, “I feel it.”

“Why don’t you get married?” Amanda switched the topic of discussion deliberately. She did not want to talk about herself, so she brought the conversation back to him.

“Didn’t meet the right one.” Joan said honestly, “My parents are very affectionate and I wish to be like them.”

Amanda also talked about her parents, “My parents are very affectionate too.”

Joan smiled, “I know.”

Amanda looked ahead, “Once, I have longed to experience the same relationship as my parents.”
