Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 997 Don’t Be Sentimental

Joshua’s gaze fell on the fruit tray, and then he stole a glance at her. Seeing that she was focused on

the computer with a serious face, he suddenly had an idea. He picked up a piece of apple with the fork Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

and bit one side of it, leaving the other side dangling in mid-air. He then turned towardsBonnie.

His voice came from his throat albeit vaguely, “Here.”

Bonnie was just done with adjusting the four chat rooms adjacent to each other on the monitor, and

when she turned around, Joshua was too close to her. Her face brushed past the apple which made

her realize that Joshua was biting an apple without swallowing. The two of them were very close to

each other, and if she opened her mouth, she could bit the other end of his apple even without leaning

forward.

She furrowed her brows and she didn’t move for some time.

Joshua then cupped her head and sent the apple into her mouth using his own.

The other end of the apple which was in his mouth was warm at the moment because of his mouth.

Bonnie was very reluctant to eat that, “Your saliva is all over the apple.”

“I am not filthy anyway.” Joshua asked with a smile, “Is it nice?”

Bonnie didn’t heed him as she continued to look at the monitor while munching on the apple, “I need to

report this to the company. Look at this user by the epitaph ‘Call me a queen’, she is talking to four

guys at the same time, and she’s playing the role of different occupations every time. She’s pretending

to be a mistress of a wealthy person, a nurse, an air stewardess and also the director of a company.”

She pointed at one of the chat rooms, “They have exchanged photos, and I didn’t know where did she

get those photos from? She used those women photos and told the guys that she was the one in the

photo. Maybe thinking that the guy is hot, she told the guy that she is a director of a company. I am

really puzzled because based on their conversation, I found that the other guy has believed her.”

“Who knows, perhaps she’s really a director.”

Bonnie scoffed coldly, “If she really were one, would she have time to talk to four guys at the same

time? And she’s taking on different identities too. From what I see, she is a playgirl.”

Joshua looked atBonnie, “How are you so sure that she’s a female? Who knows, it might be a guy, and

he has registered a female account too. She might not even be a playgirl for all we know.”

Bonnie didn’t say a word after hearing that.

She realized that she had no words to retort him because what Joshua said made a lot of sense.

“Do you think this person is a scammer? Maybe he or she wants to scam something out of those guys.”

Bonnie tried to make a guess.

“You can come up with a policy to put in place preventive measures against scammers. It will be best

that the platform will not allow any transactions to happen, especially a financial kind. Since it’s a

socializing application, you need to make it a very private-oriented place. Those registered users

wouldn’t just reveal who they really are here, so you need to make sure when they are registering, they

have to register three times using their phone number, their WhatsApp account and also their Line

account. Through verifications by using those, you can define whether those users really exist.”

Bonnie picked up another apple and sent it to Joshua’s mouth and she pleaded, “You should help me

fill in the details.”

“Are you trying to bribe me with just an apple?” Joshua didn’t open his mouth.

Bonnie tossed it into her own mouth and said, “I am almost yours. What more can I give you?”

Joshua had a soft spot for her as he moved her from the computer to another spot as he took her place

and tried to write a suggestive policy.

He also included the cons that he had discovered through the usage of this application.

For him, something like this was a piece of cake.

He was able to finish typing after just a few minutes.

He turned around and looked atBonnie, and his face was uncharacteristically solemn, “Bonnie, do you

like this job?”

Bonnie stared at him, knowing full well the underlying meaning of his words, “I like it, but if you want me

to choose between marrying you and the job, I will just resign.”

She said seriously, “Now that it has launched, I have more free time. When we were still developing it, I

always need to work overtime which I think you know. During that period, I was only able to get off work

very late into the night. However, since I am in the software development industry, no matter success or

failure, there will always be new projects coming up. I will continue to exist in this never-ending cycle,

which alternates between busy stretches and also a period when I can rest. Despite this, I know that

you are even busier, and if we were really married but still be so busy, nobody would have time to take

care of things at home. Now that grandpa’s body is not in good shape, you might need to take over the

textile factory very soon. You will even be busier than now. I want to take good care of you, so the only

way is to resign from my job so that you won’t have a lot to worry about.”

Joshua didn’t expect her to think that much. Even if he was throwing a question at her, he had also

considered their future days after the marriage. He didn’t want the two of them to be stuck in a busy life

forever.

Little did he know, she had already made up her mind. She could give up on her job without any

problems.

He was indeed very grateful for this fact.

He reached out and took her into his arms.

“You are still very young. You will be abandoned by the flow of society if you stop working at such a

young age.”

Bonnie pressed her face on his chest and rubbed against it, “Aren’t you shouldering a lot of

responsibilities since a young age? After marrying you, my responsibility will include taking care of the

house so that you can focus fully on your career. What’s more, you bear more responsibilities than me

too, and back then when Mr. Adams named you, I can see that you are different from your elder

siblings.”

She looked up, “I want to see you come back home every day so that you can see me too. I will be

ready with cooked food.”

Joshua said nothing as he continued to hold her.

He was thankful for her understanding, and also of her willing sacrifice for his sake.

“Thank you.”

“We are going to walk into the future side by side our whole life, you know. Why are you thanking me

now?” Bonnie smiled at him, “Don’t be too sentimental. That’s so not you.”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and suppressed as a mile. He lowered his head and pecked her forehead

with a kiss, “I won’t let you down.”

“I trust in you.” Bonnie was all smiles, but she suddenly remembered what happened at the mall,

“When I was shopping at the mall with sis today, I think I saw Stanford.”
