Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 972 No Offence

She dreamt that she was tied up and unable to move, and was thrown into a vigorously burning fire.

She desperately screamed for help but she could not make any sound.

She was frightened and frantic with terror.

Nina who had washed her hands asked Joan what Amanda was doing.

Joan said she was sleeping.

“I’ll go to take a look.”

“No.” Joan refused, “You might wake her up.”

“I’ll just take a glance. I won’t wake her up. You can follow me if you are worried,” Nina said while
tugging at him.

While Joan was hesitating, Nina added, “She is already asleep. She won’t know.”

After finishing her words, she pulled Joan and walked to the bedroom, regardless of his consent.

Joan was speechless.

The door of the room was gently opened. Nina made a shushing gesture to Joan.

Joan was speechless.

He was pulled by Nina to the bed. Amanda was curling up. It was an insecure sleeping position. Many
beads of sweat were formed on her head.

It looked like she was in agony.



Nina frowned. ‘Is she feeling hot?’

‘But this room isn’t hot.’

‘Why is she sweating so much?’

Amanda who was struggling in her dream saw a person’s figure through the firelight. She could not see
the person’s face and could only see it was a very slender figure.

She desperately tried to grab him and was shouting with all her strength, “Save me…save me…”

Nina blinked, “What is she saying?”

Joan realized that she might be having a nightmare. He reached out and gently patted her shoulder,
“Ms. Nelson.”

“Save me…”

She saw the person walking over. His appearance slowly became clear. She reached out to grab him…

Out of the blue, she opened her eyes and was gasping. She woke up from her dream.

What she saw was Joan’s handsome face with well-defined features. He was looking at her with
concern at this moment.

She became slightly more awake.

“Did you have a nightmare?” Joan asked with concern.

Amanda sat up and found that her hand was surprisingly gripping Joan’s arm. She panicked and
withdrew her hand, “I’m sorry, I…”



“It’s okay.” Joan went to get a handkerchief and handed it to her, “Wipe your sweat.”

Amanda took it and clutched it in her hand. She was still not recovered from the shock of the dream.
For so long, she had never had such a dream.

The scene in the dream was so real.

It was so real that she could still feel the burning pain of fire on her body now.

Seeing her not moving, Joan reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Just as his fingers
touched her forehead, Amanda jerked back abruptly.

She was shocked due to this sudden touch.

Joan’s hand stayed in mid-air.

They looked at each other and were slightly at a loss for words.

The atmosphere became subtle at once.

Joan withdrew his hand and apologized for his subconscious abrupt behaviour, “Sorry, no offence.”

“It’s okay.” Amanda regained her presence of mind, turned her head and wiped the sweat on her
forehead. Her movements were a bit chaotic and she was inexplicably panicky. As to what she was
panicking about, she herself was not sure either.

“I’ve picked the fruit. Sally went to wash it. You get up and eat some,” Nina said.

Amanda looked at Nina, deliberately avoiding meeting Joan’s eyes and said, “Okay.”

Nina smiled, “Then I’ll wait for you outside.”



After saying that, she ran out with her short legs.

The room was left with Joan and Amanda.

The two of them were speechless.

A different kind of emotion was spreading.

Neither spoke as if they knew what to say.

It was also as if they were deliberately avoiding it.

“Well…”

“You…”

Both spoke and stopped speaking at the same time.

“After you…”

“After you…”

Again, it was a simultaneous action.

Amanda broke this deadlock and smiled dryly, “Nina is really cute.”

She simply found a topic.

Joan’s expression looked abnormal and he nodded.

‘Buzz’. At this time, Amanda’s phone rang. She went to take the phone, “I’ll pick up the call.”

Joan nodded, turned around and walked out.



The call was from Casimir.

“You aren’t in City B anymore?”

“Yes,” Amanda answered.

“No wonder I didn’t find you.”

“When did you come back?” she asked.

“I just came back to proceed with the resignation.”

Amanda seemed to sense the melancholy in his words, “Why?”

“My mother found out I was looking for him and forbade me to return to the country.”

“Then you…”

“Don’t say it again. I think she really doesn’t want to bring it up. Her attitude is very firm. I don’t want to
worry her due to this matter.”

Amanda would not force him to do something like this.

“I’ll go to see you when I have the chance,” Amanda said.

“Okay.”

The two of them hung up after saying a few more words. She put the phone down and zoned out for a
moment.

She vaguely felt that Casimir’s mother and Abbott might have had some kind of entanglement in the
past. ‘Otherwise, why is she so afraid to let Casimir go to find his father.’



But now, Casimir had already decided so she could not say anything else. ‘Let it be.’

Abbott had a family now. It was not a bad thing that he did not know about this matter.

She put on her shoes and walked out.

Sally finished cutting the fruit. Nina gave a piece to Joan. When she saw her walk out, she shouted,
“Come here quickly to taste this. This was picked by me.”

Amanda smiled, “Will the ones you picked be sweet?”

“That’s for sure,” Nina responded.

Amanda sat on the sofa and took a piece.

She bit it. The fruit flesh was soft and sweet.

“The one Nina picked is sweeter than the one sold outside.”

Nina laughed happily, revealing a row of neat and white small teeth.

This child always liked to smile. This made people who looked at her happy and unconsciously smile
either.

When Joan saw Amanda’s lips curling into a smile, he also smiled. He reached out to move the strands
of hair she had messed up in her sleep to the part behind her ears.
