Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 1049 I Was Joking

Amanda opened the door and it was Joan. She was shocked and asked, “How come you’re here?”

‘How did he know that they were staying there?’ She thought.

Joan seemed nervous when he asked her, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Amanda was puzzled.

“Then how come I received a message from your brother that you’re in danger? He even told me the
address and asked me to come to rescue you…” Then Joan seemed to realize something.

Amanda was shocked by this. How did Joshua know her travel details and address?

“Come in.” She said. He had rushed over from so far away and she should not keep him waiting
outside.

Joan entered the room and she quickly poured a glass of water for him and said, “Have a seat.”

Amanda went into the bathroom and called Joshua, “What’s happening?”

“What?” Joshua quickly realized what was happening and asked, “You’ve met Joan?”

He leaned back into his seat and placed his feet on the table and said, “How can I be at ease knowing
that you brought grandma out? Of course, I needed to know your itinerary. Now that you’re in B city,
you may meet someone that you should not. I asked Joan to go, firstly because I am helping him as he
likes you. I’m giving both of you a chance to get to know each other better. Secondly, I’m helping you in
case you’re conned again.” Joshua explained.

“Joshua, I will settle my own things…” Amanda snapped back at him.

“Don’t refuse me if you don’t want mom and dad to worry,” Joshua said mischievously.



Amanda was speechless. She could not rebut him.

“Can you inform me of your plans in the future and not give me a fright?” Amanda demanded.

“Okay, I’ll inform you in the future.” Joshua gave an empty assurance. Now that Joan was there, there
was no way Amanda could demand that he left.

“There are many nice spots there. Go and visit them with Joan.”

“None of your business!” Amanda hung up the call.

Joshua laughed gleefully. He agreed with Bonnie that Joan was a good man. Furthermore, he could not
accept that Amanda and Stanford had any future together. He wanted to make sure that there was no
possibility of them getting back together. Tragedy could only happen once and not be repeated!

Amanda kept her phone and came out of the bathroom.

At this moment, Joan also realized what was happening and asked, “If it’s inconvenient that I remain,
I’ll leave first thing tomorrow.” Initially, he also felt odd that Joshua asked him to come instead of
Joshua coming personally. Now he realized that Joshua did this to set him up with Amanda.

Yes, he indeed liked Amanda but he did not want to force anyone. He also did not want to impose.
Even now, he would consider Amanda’s standpoint.

“No need!” She shook her head and continued, “Let’s look for a place for a drink.”

Joan nodded and agreed.

“Wait a minute. I need to change.” She said.

“I’ll wait outside.” Joan was about to leave when Amanda called out to him, “Just sit on the sofa and
give me a minute.” Joan obliged and sat on the sofa.



He took out his phone and stared into the screen and did not let his eyes wander.

Amanda changed and wore a simple dress. Her hair had just been blown dry and she did not put on
any makeup.

“Let’s go.” She said.

Joan quickly stood up. His suit was slightly creased. From the looks of it, he came to look for Amanda
as soon as he came into the country.

“I know a place which serves great coffee. It’s not far from here.” She said.

They walked over to the café not far from the hotel. It was a prime location and the street was very
crowded.

“Did you come without taking anything?” Amanda noticed that he did not have any luggage and his
clothes seemed untidy.

“Yes.” He answered truthfully.

“Since you’re back in my hometown, I must take care of you. Afterwards, we’ll go and get you some
sundries and clothes to change into. Since you’re already here, you might as well spend a couple of
days here. Do you have the time?” Amanda asked.

Joan was very busy but he instantly replied, “Yes.”

They arrived at the café. They sat down and Amanda asked, “What do you like?”

“Anything,” Joan replied.

Amanda ordered two cups of coffee.



“I intend to take my grandmother out sightseeing. Shall we go together?” She started the conversation
to avoid any awkwardness.

“Where do you intend to go?” Joan asked.

“My grandma misses the villages and we should be going to the place where we lived and walk down
memory lane.” She laughed.

Joan replied, “That’s for sure. We should go.”

“Why?” Amanda was puzzled why he was interested in going.

“To better understand you,” Joan said factually. He was also very direct in expressing his feelings for
Amanda.

Amanda pursed her lips and did not know how to continue. Some words could not be said too many
times.

“I won’t pressurize you and will never force you. There is no need to repay me for anything. We are
both adults and know what we want.” He looked at Amanda and continued, “If my presence brings any
inconvenience to you, you must tell me immediately. I will not make things difficult for you.”

“This way please.”

A woman entered at this moment. She was wearing the latest Chanel collection. She walked by and left
a trail of scent from the perfume that she wore. She sat at an empty table next to them.

“I won’t order now. I’m waiting for someone.” She said as she placed her Louis Vuitton bag on her lap
and twirled her hair. The waiter acknowledged and left.

The woman did not affect them.



Joan’s admittance that he liked her but would not pester her made her feel positive about Joan. She
then said, “Okay. If I decide to reconcile with him, it would definitely be inappropriate for you to remain.
When that happened, I’ll let you leave.”

Joan was startled and he appeared to be disappointed. However, Amanda saw this and laughed, “I’m
only joking.”
