Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

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.
