Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

The sky was already dark when Boyce arrived.

Jasmine and her classmates were having barbeque beside the stream on the hill. They brought charcoal, various meat and vegetable skewers and some DIY vegan skewers. The guys helped in cooking the skewers, while the girls helped to set up clothes in front of the tent and placed drinks and fruits on them.

Jasmine was a little distracted. She kept looking at her watch and estimating how long was it until Boyce arrived.

“Jasmine, what’s wrong? You looked distracted after picking up that call,” one of Jasmine’s classmates laughed at her, “Did you miss your husband?”

They were close friends of Jasmine’s, so they knew she was married.

“I wasn’t,” Jasmine looked down, “I was thinking about the clothes on the balcony. I wanted to go home and…”

“Don’t be a killjoy. It’s dark, and it’s not going to rain tonight. The clothes are fine on the balcony,” one of the guys who was cooking the skewers overheard their conversation chimed in.

“He’s right. You don’t come out with us often, so don’t be a killjoy this time. Furthermore, it’s getting late. How are you going to get back to the city? It’s dangerous. You better stay.”

Everyone was convincing Jasmine and told her not to leave. It was getting late, and the road going downhill was dangerous.

Jasmine couldn’t say anything. She took out her phone and texted Boyce to ask him whether he was coming.

“I’ve arrived at the foot of the hill,” Boyce replied.

Jasmine looked at her classmates and said, “My husband came to fetch me…”

“Wow, your husband is here?” Jasmine got surrounded by three girls before she could finish her words, “Ask your husband to come here. We want to meet him.”

Jasmine felt awkward, “I…”
